Oregon hits a 3 with 4 seconds left to go up FIVE! They upset Maryland to advance to round and face Michigan tomorrow! 11 takes down 6!

#wcbb #bigten

That advancing to the 3rd round feeeeeeling!

Illinois wins and will face the Hawkeyes.

#wcbb #bigten

That's a win AND an upset!! 10th seeded Illinois advances with a 71-69 win over Michigan State!

They will play the Iowa Hawkeyes tomorrow in round 3!

#Wcbb #BigTen

IL gets a stop but can't secure the rebound. MSU will have 9.5 seconds left to score. We're still locked in at 71-69.

Michigan State forces at TO! Illinois will have to get a stop with 19.6 seconds left.

Score is still 71-69 IL but MSU will have the ball advanced a timeout.

#BigTen #wcbb

You could see the officials huddling at the media timeout in the 3rd. There was a marked difference in the whistle after that.

Quarter ended 8/5 after starting 7/1. Illinois got bonus FTs with 19 seconds left in the 3rd.

#WCBB #BigTen

Sarcastic cheers from the lower bowl Illinois fans after MSU is called for the first foul of the quarter 5:06 into the 3rd.

Margin now stands 7-1 in the 3rd.

Michigan has taken advantage of some bad Illinois turnovers to get out in transition and take a 42-41 lead.

Illinois has 5 team fouls only 2:28 into the 3rd.
Michigan State thus far has 0.

Mounting frustration coming from the Illinois bench.

#BigTen #WCBB

Illinois guards Jasmine Brown-Hagger and Destiny Jackson have both picked up early 3rd fouls in the 3rd quarter. Brown-Hagger will stay in the game and Jackson will go to the bench with Maddie Webber entering for her.

Illinois leads 38-31 with 7:44 left in the 3rd.

#BigTen #WCBB

Illinois enters halftime up 36-29. After that initial rough stretch Illinois only committed 3 TOs for the rest of the half.

Cearah Parchment drew a 3 shot foul with 3.6 seconds left and converted all 3 FTs to send IL to the break up 7.

#WCBB #BigTen

Illinois settled themselves down and managed to close the first quarter with a 20-17 lead.

Destiny Jackson secured this steal and took the ball coast to coast for the bucket + the foul for the final Illinois points of the quarter.

#BigTen #wcbb

If I told you Illinois had 6 turnovers in the first 3:19 against Michigan State you might think the game is already out of hand.

But after a late media timeout Illinois is only down 15-12.

Cearah Parchment already has 8 points for the Fighting Illini.

#wcbb #bigten

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.

#WCBB #BigTen #NCAAWBB

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.

#B1G #WCBB #NCAAWBB

For the rest of the quarter Illinois responded with a 16-5 run of their own. Illinois holds a 62-50 lead heading into the 4th quarter.

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!

#WCBB #NCAAWBB #BigTen

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.

#BigTen #WCBB #NCAAWBB

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.

#BigTen #WCBB #NCAAWBB

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.

#WCBB #NCAAWBB #BigTen

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.

Indiana were down by over 20 in the 1st half against Nebraska! The home state team just took the lead with less than a minute left! #WCBB #BigTen #NCAAWBB

Illinois enters the B1G conference tournament against Wisconsin at 5:00/C | 6:00E tonight on Peacock. 2/2

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

The 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
