Not a good performance by the ladies as they came up short 57 ???‚¬??? 41 after leading 21 ???‚¬??? 18 at the half. To rub salt on the wound we were suppose to get a coupon for 6 free wings at Buffalo Wild Wings if we held Illinois to 60 or fewer points and they failed to pass them out. What???‚¬?„?s up with that?
Bradley jumped out to an early 9 ???‚¬??? 5 lead before the Illini went on a 7 ???‚¬??? 0 run to take the lead. As the first half was ending we got a board with 44 seconds and started a break and had the advantage numbers wise. However, we called a time out and could not score. If we had finished the break we would have had a 2 for 1 and a chance to score twice.
What really hurt was our inability to run any offense. Devyn Flanagan was the only one in double figures with 14. Erika Nelson was next with 7 and Amy Peters had 6. That is just not going to get it done. The end of last year we put in a new play to run some back cuts which I thought worked really nice. We have not evened tried this play this year. Too often we take a shot too far under the rim or the glass. We have to learn when the shot should not be taken. The same applies trying to shooting in a crowd. Our shooting was so bad in the 2nd half I was told we didn???‚¬?„?t make a field goal until 9:49 left in the half. Congrats to the Illini. -
There was another post either here or on the other board regarding Ray Brown. He was at the women's game.Comment

Thanks for the report. I watched the first half and they looked pretty good. I thought they could hold on for the win. Disappointing to hear how poorly the 2nd half went.Comment

I was also disappointed to be denied my wings coupon! hehhe. Tough second half, offense seemed to be totally out of sorts.
I saw Ray Brown and Saihou Jassey at the game... interestingly, other players may have been there because as I was leaving I saw Ruffin, DA, and Andrew Warren sitting on the side of the court a few minutes after the game had ended.Comment
