#16 IUWBB vs. Illinois - Sunday, 12.31.23 @ 12:30 p.m., BTN

That was an ugly quarter 

[reconmkd]

Horrible 3rd! Forget it and move on ladies! Get the ball moving like the first half, Illinois can't keep up with the ball moving!

[mamasa]

This team lacks killer instinct.

[TheWatShot]

The whole team looks frustrated on offense. Feels like we gave up a bunch of offensive rebounds in that quarter too. 

[TheWatShot]

Those last two fouls on us were trash calls. 

[TheWatShot]

Nice of the refs to ignore a couple fouls on them and wait until there was a tie-up so they could keep the ball with Illinois. 

[Banksyrules]

A sign that I'm all in in WIUBB is that I'm starting to pick refs that I dislike. 

[LamarCheeks]

Hoping Sara didn't let that 32-point game go to her head. 

She's been -- not good today. 

[TheWatShot]

We just can't get stops. 

[Banksyrules]

Garzon looks a little lost today. 

[LamarCheeks]

Garzon was driving the baseline toward the bucket, then threw a no-look bounce pass back out to -- an Illinois player. 

She had a pretty clear path to the basket. If she didn't score, she likely would've been fouled.

Not sure what she was going for there.

Illinois has done an incredible job of never letting her have an open perimeter catch. They aren’t doubling Holmes as a trade off and Holmes has gotten her share.

[mamasa]

No communication, no leaders today

[TheWatShot]

No one can stay in front of Cook right now. If it comes down to getting a stop, I don't like our chances. 

[LamarCheeks]

Garzon comes through!

Sweet pass from CMM.

never mind

[LamarCheeks]

Hoosiers win 77-71. 

That's 10 in a row. 

Mack with 30 points. CMM with 19. 

Feels like we're about 15 points better than the Illini, but a win is a win is a win. 

 

[Stuhoo]

Btw…after Garzon hit the winning three, she walked away looking half-pissed. It’s her look.

And damn can she shoot when the game is on the line.

She has no fear down the stretch. 

[TheWatShot]

15 in a row over Illinois. Curt Miller was coaching here the last time they beat us.
