I've been following Illini sports for almost 60 years and this is the FIRST time I've been excited about women's basketball. I LOVE this team, who go out every game and show their moxie by beating bigger opponents by sheer will and determination. Scrappy, aggressive, athletic, fearless, well-coached, team-oriented, joyous, cohesive, tough-minded, results-oriented-- the list of descriptors goes on and on.

Anyone care to add? They are all a huge credit to The University! And enjoyable to watch.

Oh, and SAND, too!

TG's early teams with Parker,Catchings, and Coleman were a lot of fun to watch as well.

Is anyone following the mess at New Mexico State where Shauna's brother in law is the men's coach? Earlier one of his players shot and killed an opposing fan. Now the entire program has been suspended for an unrelated incident. That coach is married to Shauna's younger sister and took the NMS job at the same time that we hired Shauna.

Wow! What a 1st Q. 5-5 from 3 and up 20-14

I’m just following the live stats. They must have taken off the layup at the buzzer by Cook?

These are your sons and DAUGHTERS fighting for you. Those words written in 1907.

Incredible first half. Hopefully the threes keep falling. Also doing a great job on the boards against a taller team.

Watching the game. Illinois is helped by the crazy three pointers for sure but they are playing great defense against a strong Terp team. Let’s hope the second half goes as well.
