Nice win for Marquette.

Illinois played without its sole pre-season all conference selection, Makira Cook, who missed the game due to injury.

This is cool to see. Nice to have some of these former BIG10 players come back to their respective schools as part of the staff during the off-season.

Brionna Jones did the same at Maryland.

That's my point. Seeing them return to their alma maters is great to see.

Penn State has a really nice backcourt with Makenna Marisa, Shay Ciezki and Leilani Kapinus at the wing, primarily doing the dirty work.
Wasn't enough to beat Ohio State in Ohio, but Marisa went for 28 against the Buckeyes on 50%+ shooting.
Ali Brigham seems to be in favor again and grabbed 10 rebounds...will be interesting if this combo can get Nittany Lions to a post-season.

BTW, Marisa to me is a WNBA prospect: she's a true combo guard who is 5'11", can shoot at multiple levels and is as tough as they come.

I wasn't there, but my sister said Makenna Marisa had to be carried off the court either at the beginning of OT or right before. Hope she is okay, that prognosis could really change PSU's trajectory. I think 4 PSU players fouled out as well.

Oh, that would be horrendous if it's a bad injury. With Ashley Owusu out of sight and Alli Campbell (once again) injured, PSU is awfully thin.
