Illini Test Themselves in Bahamas | Illinois Fighting Illini Basketball News

Illinois women’s basketball heads south for Thanksgiving action at the Baha Mar Hoops Nassau Championship—two high-stakes games before conference play even begins. They open against Marquette, a team missing key scorers but hungry to prove itself after shaky neutral-site performances last year. Then, on Sunday, they face Saint Joseph’s—a solid squad with returning all-conference talent that could give Illinois fits. Plus, USC (a Big Ten foe) is also in the field, making this a crucial tune-up before the grind of conference play kicks in. This Bahamas trip? It’s all about gelling and proving they’re ready for the big stage. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
