Anyone know if you can buy tickets at State Farm Center or are all sales thru the website?
yes you can at AH - this year it has usually taken about 1 minute to get our tickets

We are ranked in the top 25, beat Iowa, almost beat IU and OSU on their home floors and this clown has us as an 8? Billboard material to beat IU handily.
Yes agreed. Our AP ranking translates to perhaps the last #5 seed, or a #6 seed at a minimum.

I speculate that ESPN is once again the culprit. Lunardi routinely has our men's team 1-2 seeds lower (worse) than anyone else, and consistently worse than where we ultimately get seeded by the Committee.

It's not a conspiracy. We're #28 in the Net, which would indicate a 7 seed. It's a difference of 1 seed. We really only have 1 great win against Iowa, which is what's hurting us. Tonight we have our chance to seriously bolster our resume and get some revenge for earlier in the season.

I know some of you talked about how easy it is to get big ten plus. I want to point out that if you are over age 60, it is NOT easy to get big ten plus. My grand kids are all back home in Illinois and after 61 minutes of trying it is impossible to get it. I will continue to listen on the radio tonight. Oh and thanks Dan for including WBB on here in an ever growing way.

I believe btn+ Has the schools provide commentators for broadcasts. If they went to the overflow channels they may have to have to actually pay for real broadcasters. Some hired by the schools are very good, others not so much.

That is a more complicated answer, unfortunately. It depends on how you watch things normally. It won't be a channel. Personally, I use my computer and Chromecast to my tv. If you have a Roku or AppleTV, you can download the B1G+ app. Do you have any other streaming services, like Netflix, Hulu, etc? If so, how you watch those is how you'd watch B1G+.

Edit: If your current setup is just cable and you don't have a smart tv or another device, you can watch through the laptop, iPad, or phone you are currently using, by accessing the B1G+ homepage.

Thanks for your help. I have all of those and never use them. Going to facetime with a grandchild and get this done! Thanks again Ghost!

Understand it is a rainy day but hope this does not impact the basketball faithful heading to the SFC. How great to be anticipating a WBB
game between two top 25 teams. Let's come out firing on all cylinders Illini!!

I’m glad your grandchild is willing and able to help. My price for asking for tech help from children and grandchildren is an eye roll and sigh.

Now I hope they rise to the occasion. I need to control my Illini ingrained pessimism.

I'm doing my part! Just grabbed tickets for the game against Maryland in College Park. Bringing along some friends. It'll be their first time going to a women's game. Could not be more excited to cheer on the team, convert some more women's basketball fans, and hopefully get some revenge for the men.
I am looking into those tickets also

Our quickness is a big issue for Indiana's taller players. They can't stop us from getting to the basket or getting open. Meanwhile, we've done a solid job with our interior defense. Super impressive.

How’s the crowd looking tonight? (Attractive, I know. I'm more interested in how many folks are at the game.)

The 5 minutes without a field goal coincided with KB getting her second foul and having to sit. Her picking and rolling, sealing on drives, and facilitating are too important for her to sit that long. We desperately need KB, McKenzie, and Gen not to pick up any quick fouls to start the half so we can actually run our offense.

On the plus side, these kids playing at halftime are adorable.

The lower bowl(former A and B sections) is full. Fans extending up into C section, too. Good crowd. Indiana is very good offensively and defensively...also very experienced. There's a reason they've only got 1 loss. Gonna be tough to win this game.
