No luck so far. I actually just stumbled across the Iowa replay by chance. i think it was on BIG because it was a landmark victory for the program.

Iowa and NW were the only 2 games that have been on BTN, not B10+. Michigan and Michigan State are the only 2 remaining BTN games for Illinois.
OSU game on BTN early in 3rd
Unfortunately that means primarily seeing the meltdown by the Illini.

So in watching the condensed replay of Ohio State game, a few thoughts:
— Illini need to work on their press breaking. Tried to dribble through it too much. Not sure if that’s something more common in women’s game where it seems like passing isn’t as crisp as men’s game or not.
— Granted I’ve only watched parts of 3 games, but that was the first game team looked a bit over matched — though by score in first half that certainly wasn’t the case early on. May well have been just got tired with lack of depth and quality of the opponent. All that said, they still had a decent shot of winning, which says a lot.
— Bostic is fun to watch. Doesn’t seem like she’s the most talented or physically gifted player, but she just has a knack for rebounding and scoring.
— For anyone that watched the game, is that the typical vantage point for a broadcast on BTN+? It was like watching the game from the really cheap seats.

I found this which is not the complete game but it does show 35 minutes of highlights.
A little late but B1G showed it at 9:00am ET today.

I am retired in the New Orleans area after spending most of my life in Bloomington. Today at the grocery store a young lady, looking physically fit and about 18, walked past me. I am about 6'1" and she towered over me. Maybe 6'8". I was tempted to ask her if she had ever heard of Shauna Green and if she had a problem with cold weather,

Drug store today and the pharnacy assistant looks in GREAT shape is 6’5” ish so I ask her, at my own risk, if she played bball and she said she still does, semi professional in Tampa.I am retired in the New Orleans area after spending most of my life in Bloomington.

IDK, collge athletes are all semi pro now so why can’t we recruit her ?
But do we have a pharnacy assistant program?

Just another example of why JW is the best. The little things matter.
When the AD acts like this, it becomes contagious. And that is how you build a great culture.

It's pretty impossible to watch this team and not love what Bostic brings to it. Despite being undersized, she fights like hell on defense and is a vacuum rebounding the ball. She has a sneaky good offensive post-game. And she's a very solid passer at the top of the key. She was really the only bright spot last year and she's slotted in perfectly to her role this year.
It's pretty darn cool that SG is getting to coach these players she recruited at Dayton, but missed out on. She's showing she can unlock players' potential and, hopefully, that will continue to translate into recruiting.

lol. She's runnin' with the Big Dog.Uh oh guys, did anyone else notice how many times Shauna used the word “elite?”
Ya think her and Brad don’t talk regularly?
Ditto, all of that. Very, very well said.
Bostic is SO fun to watch! I’m awfully impressed with how fundamentally sound these girls are…and that is a huge reason Bostic, in particular is able to do what she does despite being quite a bit undersized for a DI post player. She’s got some definite finesse in the post for sure. But yeah, then also…an instinct/a nose for the ball…and whole lot of heart and tenacity.
Coach Gensler must be one heck of a BIGs
coach; because he’s worked wonders with her as far as footwork, and developing her
offensive vocabulary around the basket.
Other than sometimes doing a mid-air 180 degree turn kind of a thing on her tournaround jumper…as she pivots…rather then starting her turn on the floor and then going airborne. (You can see how that could be problematic for a couple reasons)
AND Yes, I’m picking nits…but little things DO matter.
Anyways, I have never seen her do anything that was even remotely non-fundamentally textbook other than that. It’s quite remarkable!
Shauna might be the Big Dog before long
