It was yet another brutal stretch for the Illinois Women's basketball team as they, again, lost both of their conference games this week in ugly fashion.
Granted, it's not as if Illinois is playing bad teams. In fact, quite the opposite. Rutgers (16-2, 4-0) and #18 Iowa (15-2, 3-1) are two of the best teams in the Big Ten. Rutgers, in fact, has won 11 in a row on its way to first place.
That winning streak included a lopsided win over Illinois, as Rutgers held the Fighting Illini to just 37 points in their 39 point victory.
