Last year we lost Vasconcelos, Bollin, Dolan, and Cook and still made the tourney.

Great victory for our lady Illini. I know we are very young and will have to learn to play defense without fouling but I'm still hoping for a good season. Looking forward to getting Guyton back.

So Benson was the only player that was available that did not get in? Why would that be?

Looking forward to next game. This team can shoot, run, and play defense. If we get Guyton back look out!

Glad to see Shay starting. Anyone care to speculate whether she would for the Illini, if still here?

No. She could shoot a little but didn't show much else. She would be battling with Irene for the 9th man spot. She played hard and seemed to be a good teammate.

No. Wisconsin is a weak team, she shot well, but moved too slow to start for us. As the post above stated she would have limited playing time with us. She moved to a team where she fits in much better. Shame to see a player with so much talent have a injury or two in her case change her career.

Given her height 6'3" one would have expected rebounding, ability to score inside and guard in paint. In her limited time at Illinois she shot 3's but was not mobile. I think her injuries - back and knee robbed her of athleticism that made her a top 50 talent as a HS junior. Last year when we had no size and were only 7 deep it was her opportunity.

37-31 Illini at the half........................the first 6 minutes of the 2nd qtr was a great stretch of play by the Illini with the lead going up over double digits , followed by 4 minutes of poor shooting , poor decisions and isu starting to pass down low on their offense for some high percentage made baskets................

Wallace is showing her skills scoring and playing high IQ all over the court...........has 14 pts so far......

Destiny is playing elire defense.............

Dolan and Parchment's shot's are off today.......need them to start hitting again......
