Some tightly contested games today until the Illini took the court. Incredible shooting display from our dynamic duo of Mikira and Genesis. Rutgers scored mostly on put-backs and from the FT line in the second half. I am sure Coach is not happy with all the fouls but Rutgers was driving the ball to the hoop. The good news is the bench saw a lot of minutes in the final quarter and starters were cheering them on. So lets hope we still have the energy tomorrow night against the Terps. Great win. Let's Go Illini.

Quite a few of the turnovers were because we picked up our dribble right after crossing half court, letting Maryland use the sideline and half court line to help with the trap. Coupled with Maryland’s length it is a recipe for disaster. I have to believe it has been a topic of conversation in the locker room.

Coach Green said in multiple press conferences she's emphasized breaking the press in practice since that game and has been running out the biggest group of people she could find, including assistant coach Cat who's like 6'7". I have hope between that and having arguably our best ball handler back in Gen, we'll have more success. And yeah, it'd be nice if Peebles could go 5-9 from three again, too. She was electric.

Also, I'm just incredibly sick of both of our teams losing to the dang turtles and having to hear about it from friends. Please, let's spring the upset.

Maryland is going to literally beat the crap out of us with that press. Green needs to start working the officials now to crack down on the physical contact.

Also, I love how the gals punish the other team, when we do beat the press, by looking to score immediately.

I finally watched Coach Green’s post-Rutgers press conference. They’re well aware of the press and have worked on countering it. Maryland will still have an advantage but not like they did last time.
