I jus saw the game ended and the score on cstv.com now im waitin for the stats!! Im going to there game tomorro at northwestern I cant wait!

anyone else goin to Northwestern? I gotta support my girls, im so proud of them this season

Wow this team is REALLY good. Keep it up ladies!

Yes!!!!!

DMS, haven't seen ya this year!

Damn!!! Didn't even know the game was tonight!!!

If the ladies play a night game tomorrow, I may need to come back from NIU early to go see the game!!!

EDIT: Damn, the game is at 4:30. Won't be able to make it to NU to see it.

Quite impressive.. Also, Illinois Women are 6-1 so that win is looking better and better.

Hey Red Riot: We gotta make a road trip to one of the Women's BBall games this year! Could you imagine their reaction if we showed up!!!

not being a follower of their team, what is the difference this year, are the upper classladies stepping up or are there newcomers making the difference

U are BLIND!! U walked right past me at the chicago state game! i was gonna say wats up but since u didnt notice me i jus let u keep walking. I almost let justin do the same thing but I made him turn around.

I have been to the Illinois game, depaul game, and chicago state.

I woulda been there tonight but i coach a 5th & 6th grade basketball team and we had practice, well woulda had practice but the weather. (first game is 2morro at 11am at the 4th street gym)

I've noticed you there.

You need to be in the Red Riot with us, but I know you think those seats suck.

Steph nearly dropped a triple double on Cincinnati tonight. Ms. York had about 14 points if I remember correctly!
Ladies are going to do big things this year!

Honestly, I think alot of it has do to with just having another year with Carol. The only real impact freshman has been Kylie York. Steph is going to put up some ungodly numbers this year. Going into tonight she was averaging 21.5 PPG. I am curious to see if she gets a look from the WNBA.

Next year we will have transfers from Auburn and Wisconsin!


MD, you really need to get to a game. The loss to IUPUI sucked, but hopefully they have a good year to make the loss look not so bad. We've already beaten a 6-1 Illini team (undefeated when we played them), and tonight we handed Cincy their 1st loss of the year. No doubt we have a shot at the tourney.

It's pretty amazing what Carol Owens has been doing with the NIU Women's Basketball program. NIU Athletics in general this entire 2006 year has been damn good.

NIU Women's Basketball has a RPI ranking of #28. If we beat Northwestern then NIU better be receiving some votes for the top 25.

I was thinking the same thing the other day. Do we have a team with a losing record yet? Men's soccer - NCAA Tourney. Women's V-Ball & Soccer - both in MAC Championship game. Football - going bowling. Men's Bball 3-0. Women's Bball 4-2. Wrestling - getting votes for Top 25.

Is this the Phillips effect? Or just all the stars alligning this year?

I went to the womens' game against U of Ill. They are an exciting team to watch and play good basketball. You should try to catch one of their games.

I believe the women's soccer team, even though they went to the championship game, had a losing record. They got hot at the end of the year.
