Bollin has been injured (knee) since her junior year in high school. She didn't play junior or senior year and only sparingly at Duke. Her time here has been quite limited. Right now her back is the issue but she continues to have knee issues as well. Wallace had the last two fingers on her right hand taped together which, I assume, means that one of them is broken.

Very experienced team7 of top 8 players are SR or 5th year. Only Dolan is underclassman
McKenzie and Shoup Hill are making great contributions. The depth we were missing last year.
JMO - Makira was forcing it inside. She does not have to do it anymore. Really disappointed not see our McDAA Berry Wallace play due to injury. Next year she is going to have to carry the load along with Dolan and incoming freshman.

Rules question. Last night we were bringing the ball up the court in the backcourt and it became clear that we were headed for a ten-second violation. Therefore, coach called a timeout after and eight count. Once we inbounded the ball in the backcourt we were whistled for a ten-second violation when we didn't clear midcourt within the remaining two seconds. Should the ten-second clock have restarted after the timeout?
Rule 9, Section 10 of the NCAA Women's BB Rulebook
The 10-second count shall be reset on all stoppages of the game clock except when the opponents cause
the ball to be out of bounds, the team in control retains possession following a
held ball, an administrative technical foul is assessed to the team in control, or the team in control is granted a timeout.
Thank you for sharing this. I thought Shay Bollin was a slam dunk when she decided to come here. Very sad to hear. I hope she can recover and be part of a special program. Either way, seems like a great person.
Cori is taking on minutes at the 4. What she lacks in size is countered by her strength and aggressive play. I thought she did OK for have two practice days ahead of the game. Hoping Shey can make it back soon.

Wonder if this is just about the known signings or if there will be a surprise.
Good article in the Daily Illini- I might disagree with a + or - on some of the grades, but overall, excellent writing and insight from a student.

Great news and the optimism about the WBB program is through the roof............The ceiling for coach Green and staff and the players now and in the future is sky high.............................IT REALLY REALLY REALLY IS............................
What Shauna has accomplished is absolutely incredible. Just two-and-a-half years ago this program was completely moribund -- nine straight losing seasons; finished last or next-to-last in the B1G for six years; only seven conference wins over five years. To go from that to the incredibly bright present and future is really something. Bravo.

Shouldn't we be a lot more attractive in the portal if we have another tourney appearance and a talented young group?
