bumped depend ends everybody illinois last legitimate man odd state sudden team upset winning
I think we're a very legitimate team for a WNIT (spot). I think a lot will depend on who ends up winning our league. Last year, with the upset of Illinois State winning the championship, all of a sudden that bumped everybody down one. We kind of were the odd man out.

challenge eight front nine points shoot tried
We really tried to challenge the front of the rim. And we didn't shoot like we usually do. But, you know, a lot of times we'll shoot it well, but we're 8-of-8 or 9-of-10. That's eight or nine points. Tonight, we got 27 points at the line.

We just allowed them back in the game. . We missed a lot of free throws.

This was a very, very, very physical game, and it's hard to officiate when it gets like that.

We just talked about Cassie's entire role; it's just not on offense or defense. She played one of her better defense positioning games.
