Destiny Jackson was a true tone setter for Illinois. After a couple of somewhat frustrating games for her, she showed up in a major way in Illinois' Big Ten tournament opener.
I asked coach Green about her impact post game.
Jackson: 21p, 6r, 5a, 2stl, 5/8 FGs, 11/13 FTs.

Behind a career high 21 points from Destiny Jackson, Illinois advances with a 1st round win over Wisconsin.
They will play Michigan State tomorrow.

Unanimous All-B1G Coaches Selection, and 2nd Team Media All-B1G selection. Berry Wallce is providing her steady offense once again for Illinois.
After this steal and bucket + the foul Wallace has 18p and 5r against Wisconsin.

Lety Vasconcelos has been tremendous for Illinois today. She's up to 12 points and 6 rebounds (5 OREBs) in only 12 minutes of play!

Wisconsin started the 3rd on a 12-5 run. Gift Uchenna hit only her 2nd 3 of the entire season to bring the margin to 1 point 46-45 in favor of Illinois.

Illinois is up 41-33 vs Wisconsin at halftime after a late steal/bucket from Aaliyah Guyton.
Story of the game for Illinois is the contrast between their inside/outside shooting:
- Layups: 13/15
- 3s: 1/11
Illinois' best offense has come attacking downhill tonight.
#BigTen #WCBB #NCAAWBB
After 1 quarter Illinois is up 23-17 over Wisconsin.
The player of the opening frame for the Fighting Illini was Destiny Jackson.
She had 9p, 2a, and 1stl on 3/3 FGs in the 1st.

Illinois/Wisconsin is up next! Tipoff in about 10 minutes of Peacock.
Illinois played Wisconsin less than a month ago winning 92-60. Wisconsin has a signature win against 7th seeded Michigan State this season.
The winner will play Michigan State tomorrow.

A major comeback and a shocking upset! Indiana was down 20+ in the 1st half but outscores Nebraska 44-24 in the 2nd half to win!
The loss is a major blow to the tournament prospects for the Cornhuskers.
Indiana will play Ohio State tomorrow at 2:30E
#wcbb #bigten #ncaawbb
The winner of this game gets Ohio State tomorrow. Shay Ciezki just made another Indiana lay-up to push the lead to 70-67 Indiana with only 28.1 seconds left.

I talked to Illinois coach Shauna Green yesterday about her two All-Freshman Big Ten honorees.
The response touched on the privilege of coaching high caliber athletes, but also the responsibility of the program to utilize strengths and develop weaknesses.

And it isn't just about the shots taken. It's about all the bad shots teams are forced to take simply because Wemby is on the floor. 3/3
04.03.2026 03:54 — 👍 6 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0The crazy Drummond shots helped, but Wemby is a basketball black hole either way. One of the 5 makes was an insane goal-tend that no human being should be able to reach! 2/x

Victor Wembanyama played 24:07 minutes tonight. The Spurs only gave up 37 points in those minutes. 74 point pace for a regulation game.
Victor Wembanyama contested 18 shots by my count. The 76ers were 5/18 (.278) on those shots.

Arike made her touch earth AND called game !!!!!!!
Unrivaled Basketball is SO important!
Arike Ogunbowale with a legendary game winner!

That drag step to decelerate is SO tough. Kelsey Plum gets the bucket plus the foul.
Throws the ball out front to get Wheeler off balance and then slows waaaay down.

Shauna Green had high praise for Minnesota after this afternoon's regular season finale at State Farm Center.
She spoke to their qualities as a team and used it as a mirror to talk about who she wants to her Illinois team to become.

Freshman Cearah Parchment makes BIG time plays.
With less than 2 minutes left... charge on one end. Big bucket to tie the game at the other.
Illinois were not able to overcome Minnesota in the end, as the Gophers prevailed 78-73.
Illinois finishes B1G play 9-9. Minnesota finishes B1G play 13-5.
This man needs a hoophall meme wing lol.

After a Mara Braun 3 at 3:06 left in the 2nd, Illinois put an 8-0 run on Minnesota to close the 1st half.

Paint Points:
- MN: 30
- IL: 4

Watching Minnesota court-side at Illinois today. This Minnesota roster is strong as hell. They are physical without fouling. They beat you to death possession after possession with incredible execution.
