The night might have ended worse for Illinois than it started. With 8:32 remaining, they led 65 - 64. Didn't score a point the rest of the way. Missed their final 18 shots (plus the front end of a one-and-one) and lost 79 - 65.
That's two out of three that they've lost. Fire Dawn Staley! Saw this past week while scrolling through futures odds that South Carolina was -5000 to make the women's Final Four. They're currently at -1000, which is only slightly less insane.
