Late longtime Penn State coach Rene Portland was a teammate of Theresa Grentz on the "Mighty Macs" teams at Immaculata that they made a movie about.Nice display by the Illini on the day Theresa Grentz is honored!

"Let's get 7,000."Against a bad Penn State team, that’s extremely solid. Love that the home fans are showing out. And it’s only up from here.
I think so, assuming that she is injured to the point that she can't play. The rule is you can play up to 30% of your team's games and not play in the last half of the season. We'll have 29 games in the regular season and then whatever we get in the postseason. I am assuming that those games in the postseason count. So, as a minimum we will play at least one game in the B10 tourney which puts us at 30. 30% of 30 is 9 games and she has played only 8 games. If her last game was Dec. 21 then she will have not played in the second half of the season (again assuming that the postseason counts). The question becomes whether she is 'too injured' to play now. I think the ncaa is pretty lenient there. Probably need some paperwork signed by a doc or trainer.Is Camille Jackson an injury redshirt? She last played December 21. Has played in 8 games.
On the bench it looked as though she had a black wrap on one of her shoulders. As I understand the uniform rules, all the players have to wear the same color shirts and leggings under their uniforms, and everyone else was wearing white. It tells me there was no plan to put her into the game, which sort of confirms your evaluation.I think so, assuming that she is injured to the point that she can't play.

a ranked team from a power 5 is a 10 seed??Illini a 10th seed in current CBSsports women's bracketology...
This is phenomenal.
ESPN had Illinois as a 9 seed before the Penn State wina ranked team from a power 5 is a 10 seed??
Is it too late for me to enroll as a student for this semester? My goodness, sounds like a lot of fun.
If it's a one seed.. I hope its Stanford. I think KB would do a pretty good Cam Krutwig reenactment on their big.ESPN had Illinois as a 9 seed before the Penn State win
I am a huge cheerleader for this team and ecstatic for the results this team has provided. Making the NCAA tourney alone is amazing!
I don't think Illinois deserves a high seed unless they would win last 2 games vs Nebraska, at Rutgers and make a decent run in the conference tournament.
Iowa win was huge for the ladies! Other than Iowa and Missouri, we don't have a win against any other teams the whole season with an overall record 3+ games over .500 going into the last few games left. The ladies beat up on some bad teams in non-conference play and same during conference play. I have no problem with this at all. Majority of the time when a team doesn't have a track record of winning it takes a long time to change the results and pull out close wins. New coaching squad and some new pieces to the team changed this around quick. NCAA Tourney game will be a toss up and if we would win will likely be playing a 1-3 seed in the next round.
The AP ranking is wonderful when it comes to selling the program to fans and recruits, but it doesn't matter to the selection committee. While we are 25 in the AP poll, we're 35 in the NET, one of the metrics used by the selection committee. 35 in the NET equates to a 9 seed.a ranked team from a power 5 is a 10 seed??
The ladies playing Stanford or any #1 seed in the tourney would be a crazy thing for sureIf it's a one seed.. I hope its Stanford. I think KB would do a pretty good Cam Krutwig reenactment on their big.
Illinois is averaging 3,482 fans this season (with 1 home game to go), last season that would be good for 27th in the nation.I feel like this has already been mentioned, but has it been posted what the average attendance figures are for a good to very good P5 school (not UCONN, South Carolina, Tennessee, etc.)?
Thanks Dan! Next year, we are primed to be that 12th school averaging between 5,000-9,000 and I can’t freaking wait.
