I wouldn't say The Illini were bad. I would say they would finish in the upper three or four in The Valley. They didn't shoot that well. A couple of their guards were pretty smooth looking. They had a big size advantage, but Stien's game plan was good and rather effective. The usual halftime adjustments didnt work out for Illinois and we just kept body punching them. She held Brockmyer out of the post on offense and up top. Abby played great interior D all game and pulled down 13 boards and only had 1 foul. Pulled Illinois size out of the paint for the most part. Walker, who's pretty damn crafty down low, was able to get good looks.

Today's win was awesome, but it makes the MTSU loss sting a bit more. They beat The Illini by 10 on a neutral court. We could easily be 7-2 right now. But I'll take 5-4 going into the Indiana game. I think I predicted 5-6 in non-conference play. IUPUI bailed on us, so we didn't get that game. That game was a toss-up in my mind. Should have beat Western Illinois, should have beat MTSU.
We've played one Top 10 team tight - Why not another?

Dawgs whip Illinois 66 - 51, Silvey high scorer with 19. We outrebounded them 43 - 25! WoW!
Nice win and first since 1993. All-time 13 - 13 against Illini.
These gals played #15 Tennessee very close this season too. (Still don't know how they lost to WIU and UMKC.)
Next up - #10 Indiana there.

Great win, but the Illini women are bad. Illini fans have been calling for their coach to be fired and she probably will be after this season.
March on triumphantly!
AWESOME win over Illinois. They may not be very good, but I love it when SIU beats the Illini.
Silvey named valley POW!

Dissapointing that she didn't get NCAA women's "Starting Five" nod.
She had better overall week than most on the list. Would have been cool to see one of ours there two of the last three weeks.

Ugh...
Not a good start in Bloomington. Both Abby and Gabby with 2 quick early fouls.
21-6 Hoosiers in the 2nd quarter.
