Illinois women’s basketball just edged out Northwestern in a nail-biter, but despite the win, they slipped out of the AP Top 25—now sitting at 26th. Berry Wallace was on fire with 29 points, but the team is still missing Gretchen Dolan due to injury, and Maddie Webber had an off night. Even so, ESPN projects Illinois as a 9-seed for the NCAA tournament, which is huge considering they’ve only made the Big Dance twice since 2003. With tough games ahead against Nebraska, UCLA, and Washington, every win counts. How confident are you in their tournament chances? #Sports #IllinoisBasketball #NCAAW
