Lid on the basket in the second quarter. Only 1 point to their 13 so far.

I've noticed the past few weeks that Brooke Kissinger has either started or come off the bench and scored some good points for Illinois. However, they still only have 1 conference win. Honestly, it will be a real head scratcher for me if Bollant keeps his job after this year. Saw on the Illinois board that his Big10 record is 18-45 (.286).

I don't always put a lot into the recruit rankings. I think Coach Yori is very good at finding "flying-under-the-radar" types of players. I do feel like the bench should be given a lot of playing time early in the season, mainly due to our ongoing injury issues. Play them when they aren't injured so they can get some experience. They need to get at least a few minutes of non-mop-up duty in those early games just for the experience. My comment about the AD doing something crazy is more of an opinion of the AD than it is about Coach Yori.

Yup, we would need to cough up a bunch of $$$. Maybe point out the lower cost of living, and the fact that I think attendance would really go up with him as the coach. And then there is the lure of those Husker football tickets. Wait...nevermind...

Geno liked our facilities... But would need $$$ to get him here, unless he just decides to retire.

I have been thinking along similar lines, and am also concerned about the abundance of injuries that seem to happen every year. I know, every team goes through injury bugs, but it just seems like we cannot catch a break with this and also illness. Is there an issue with strength and conditioning? Say the AD does decide that WBB should be a priority and he does something crazy like letting Coach Yori go. Who do you hire after that?

I'm assuming that if we don't make the tournament we will at least be a WNIT team. Any post season play would be good, especially for our youngsters.

I did not watch the game yesterday and only listened to a few minutes of it. I have a question about the turnovers that Shepard had - were they mainly due to poor passes on her part, traveling, passes that were difficult to catch, or something else? Or a mixture of all of them?

She wound up with 60 points.

Wow, banham has 58 points so far for Minnie? How are we going to guard her?

Would have been nice to get a win, but it just isn't happening for us today.

Hopefully we wake up a bit for the second half. Same for the refs.

Sounds like some horrible officiating today.

She should definitely talk some physics and organic chemistry smack on the floor. Something along the lines of "Do you know energy equals mass times the velocity of light squared?!! Do you?!!! DO YOU?!?!?!?"

I'm of the opinion these kids have to play when we have so many injured. You cannot expect starters to put in 38+ minutes at this point in the season each game. Sure, there may be some drop-off so you need to be careful with the substitution pattern, but these kids are only going to get better with minutes on the floor and in the long run that helps the team tremendously. I saw good things from each of the bench players last night. Also saw some not-so-good things but I feel that is due to lack of experience. It was nice to see Theriot smiling on the court again. Looked like she was enjoying herself.

Anya with a double double!

Sounds like the crowd is getting on the refs.
