I have been looking but, haven't found anything on her.

I watched some of the UNO game. It wasn't really that close (3 pts) most of the game. But it wasn't a blowout either. UNO had a three shooter that kept them in the game. 

 

Illinois has a big that's pretty active.  Will need to slow her down somehow. They like to run a lot...play fast some.  They remind me of some Rutgers teams...but not as good. Not as skilled.

 

Anyway it should be a good B1G game. It's time to hit the speed button.

Coach says she is day to day.

Thanks HUD!

So if Brady is a no go does Williams go big with Stewart, or Cravens at the 4 and Bourne at the 3? I am leaning to Stewart at this point. With Helms departure I think we see more of Brown. More of a natural point guard.

I would like to see Cain and Stewart running together, talk about picking your poision.

I am guessing that if its between Cravens and Stewart starting, it will be Cravens all the way.  Bella knows defense, rebounding and has Div 1 experience.

Even if that's the case Stewarts minutes are going to go up.   Might as well find out if Bourne can play the 3 position.

[Cazzie22]

All 8 available players will need to perform.

[Bugeaters1]

Brady is out and Cravens will start

Cain isn’t much of a threat at the top of the key.

Close Game.    First Quarter Stats:

 

[Cazzie22]

Aauugghhh!! Two turnovers on back to back inbound plays under our basket. 

[Cazzie22]

Haiby needs to be on the court.  Cain is a non factor. 

[Bugeaters1]

Looks like cayton sitting over there on the bench suited up with the warm-ups off

Kate's having a bad night.  Can't rebound or score.  Game is too fast for her.

[Red Don]

Cayton?

[Cazzie22]

Illinois is so much quicker and is getting to loose balls first.  Our defensive rebounding continues to be weak.

[Cazzie22]

Bad foul by Sam at the end.  Team will have to pick it up to hang with the Illini.
