Illinois Women’s Basketball finished last season on an extraordinary 18-game losing streak and didn’t win a single conference game. Nancy Fahey wants the program to improve in her second season, but how good can the Illini really be?

1997. So much has happened between now and then. Y2K. Facebook. Tesla. Trump. It seems like ages ago to some.
To others, however, it was a year filled with pride and a sense that something great was on the horizon. That they had finally reached the peak of their accomplishments and had done something no one else could have imagined not so long ago.
