The end of the season had to feel so abrupt to my favorite WBB team last night. For so many years the players knew when the season would be ending weeks in advance, unless we somehow won the conference tourney.
As they get beyond the disappointment of this final game I hope they will be proud of all they accomplished this season. What an unexpected and in many ways magical season. I know I will always look upon them as the team
that launched the return of Illinois WBB to being a relevant and competitive program. So thank you Fighting Illini WBB coaches and players for the gift of this wonderful season.
Once An Illini Always An Illini
