Congratulations on making the rankings,now go show the world how disrespectful that ranking is.This team will steamroll the non conference schedule and establish early that this B1G title is within their grasp too..

8 Big Ten teams ranked ahead of them. Going to be a gauntlet to get through. If we stay healthy, we should finish in the top half of the conference. Shauna would like to host the first two rounds of the ncaa tourney, which means being a top 16 seed. Going to have to be at the top of our game to get there.

Seriously I don't think there are more than 10 teams in the country better than this roster or coaching group.. Don't forget this team added 3 starters.I see the team shored up the center spot with a serous upgrade They shored up the wing and guard spots with serious upgrades to this same team that DID hang with all the teams mentioned but now Gretchen, Divine, and Manuela are starters really but as a devastating bench along with our instant scoring machine from last year.Thos team upgrades maybe more than most.......... And kept ALL the starters..To me they have box office roster a

My takeaways from the above videos.

Not everyone was healthy enough to play in the secret scrimmage. Not good.
No serious injuries though other than Lana. Good.
We won the secret scrimmage. Good.
The team we played was a top 20 team who's head coach might be named Kenny. That would be Kentucky. Just a guess.
Everyone is high on Gretchens return. Great.
No mention at all of Divine or Manu. ????

It was Kentucky, there are a few articles on the Kentucky side about it. I just googled it.

You can find a lot on opponent media sites. Very few coaches around the country are as paranoid as the Illinois DIA coaches.

Kenny Brooks was 'very pleased' with Kentucky's exhibition performance, but there is room to grow

No. 14 Kentucky women's basketball played a closed scrimmage over the weekend. The Wildcats made a trip to Champaign to take on a ranked Illinois squad,

Kentucky also talked about it well before the date. But Shhhhhhh, don't tell anyone.
