Pretty sloppy/rough start, but hanging in vs. MSU.  MSU is more experienced than we are, and it's showing.  17-14 MSU early in 2nd q

WAY TO GO LADIES.  GREAT WIN

Love the fact we're so much deeper than we were last year.  Gulbe 9  pts. and 3 reb. and Berger 10 pts. 3 reb. 2 assts, both off the bench.  That's a luxury we didn't have last year.  And Wise and Patberg what a couple of great transfers for the program.

Nice win ladies!

Amazing to think we’d be 14-0 if we didn’t lay that egg.

Gotta like this team and the direction of the program.

And - Hoosiers' first win over a top 15 team since 2010 (over then-No.4 Ohio State).

Wow. Illinois won @ #12 Minnesota last night.
