Naz Hillmon preseason B1G player of the year
Women’s hoops is really surging and Hillmon is a big part of why that’s happening. If you’ve never watched her play, try to catch a game this year. I absolutely love the way she plays. She’s relentless, tough and skilled.
BTW, rankings just came out and the women hoopsters start the season at #25. Barnes-Arrico has reeled in some big time recruits recently. This team is going nowhere but up.

Program is in great shape. I was ready to can KBA a couple years ago when we seemed like we were having our millionth straight late season collapse under her, but she got it turned around. Hillmon is going to leave here as our best player ever and I don't think it'll be close. Recruiting is looking good too, so program should be able to make strides.

We only lost two seniors last year and have 2 big freshman recruits coming in. Should be a great season.

Good for her! I love watching her play.
The ladies are really starting to go places. Their games are fun to see. I bought season tickets for this year and I am so disappointed that I won’t be able to use them due to the plague.
If the pandemic ever gets under control, I highly recommend going to see them play. They’re good and getting better. Plus, tickets are cheap and parking is free so people can actually afford to take the whole family.

This would have been something that WD would have posted. Man, I hope that cat is doing alright. With the way the football team is playing, I hope he is doing ok. I am a bit worried about him.

High expectations for the Women's Basketball team.
If a few breaks go our way, we could see KBA win her first Big Ten Championship.

Genuinely excited about how this team's potential. The pieces are in place for a great season.

SO well-earned.
i've had season tix for the last two years, and she's been an absolute pleasure to watch in person. as a frosh she was usually first off the bench; when she came in she'd be at the front end of a full-court press and was terrifying. just nonstop hustle. they don't do it now that she's a starter (unfortunately), but now she's a double-double machine and never takes a possession off at either end.
she'll be the best player in program history by the time she's done.

She's really fun to watch, and seems like quality person too.
