Just my guess, but that may be as good as ILL can play. Don't think they can duplicate that in the 2nd half.

 

But.... they're at home...makes a big difference.

I think that is probably accurate, so we need to make it harder on both ends, esp. on D.

[mwm89]

Dare I say we look like a team that has had an eight day layoff.  Didn't like that when I saw it on the schedule.  yeah we needed time to heal up, but I think being in a flow (when games are played) is beneficial.

Feeding Markowski is great, but she's got to be stronger and make those bunnies.  They're just standing and holding their arms up guarding her.  Make the bucket or make them foul, or both.

[Red Don]

Illinois's lay-ups go IN; Ours roll around the rim and fall OFF! 

[Cazzie22]

Three straight threes have us tied.  We still need to be better in defense.

[NUtball]

I'm not sure how they're tied, but I'll take it.  If they take off the concrete galoshes on defense, they can win comfortably.

[NUtball]

Where's the foul?

What's that?

 

[Cazzie22]

Down 2.  One quarter to go. Jaz is keeping us in the game.  We have to be better defending.  Miscommunication led to a wide open three for Illinois.

[Red Don]

Two Point Game @ the end of Q3!

 

[Cazzie22]

Officials have not been a factor.  I hope that continues.

[caveman]

Better quarter, post are still late sealing off on the dribble penetration 

[Cazzie22]

Hake is playing a nice floor game.  A couple of nice assists and a beautiful finish by Petrie.

[mwm89]

Giving them a dose of their own medicine with the give and go and movement attacking the basket.  Most importantly, finishing and scoring.  

[NUtball]

Just play fundamental ball now and you'll get the W.  Great job battling through the poor play for most of the game

Gotta make the FTs!

[NUtball]

Again, no foul there.

[Cazzie22]

A fade away is not the shot we needed from Alexis.

Hope dashed.

Bad shot, but I'm not sure why the defender was allowed to have both hands on her back.

[Huskerfanzzz]

I have no idea why Moriarity isn’t in the game right now. She has played good defense. She hit a big three in transition, and then she got pulled. Why? Hake dos not play good defense, and she never has, yet she is in at a crucial time. I will never understand the sub patterns on this team. 

[Bugeaters1]

So I guess displacing a player is not a foul.

 

[NUtball]

Potts gets tackled.  No call.

Unfortunately she does not have a strong drop step, and it has been a factor in multiple games. 

[NUtball]

Meghan McKeown is clueless.  Clearly off left hand of Illinois player.
