CHAMPAIGN — There’s no way for Matt Bollant to know for sure what to expect from his Illinois women’s basketball team this season. But each game, each practice, gives him more information.
On Sunday in an exhibition against Drury, Bollant found out his team needs to find the opponent’s best shooter and try to lock her down.
Drury’s Paige Wilson hit six three-pointers and scored 24 points as the Division II Panthers upset the Illini 66-60.
“We didn’t do a good job finding her,” Bollant said. “Her taking 11 threes is way too many threes. Most of them were pretty good looks.
