CHAMPAIGN — Remember the Illinois women's basketball team's poor third-quarter showing against Missouri?
The Illini had a full week to stew about what happened against the Tigers during a 22-point loss at State Farm Center.
Seven days later, Illinois dished out the same treatment to Indiana.
Yet, in a cruel twist of a familiar plot, the Hoosiers picked themselves off the mat and extended Illinois' misery in Big Ten play.
Indiana rallied from an 11-point deficit in the fourth quarter, survived a buzzer-beating attempt from Brandi Beasley that went unanswered at the end of regulation and eventually handed the Illini a stunning 85-83 overtime loss in front of 1,622 fans during their conference opener Friday night at State Farm Center.
