"On the defensive end, Minnesota’s Mara Braun was a problem for Illinois. Braun was shooting lights out from three, going perfect until her first miss late in the first half. The Gophers were able to stick with Illinois going into the half knotted up at 35.
The Illini came out of the locker room on a mission, scoring the first six points out of the break while Minnesota struggled to get started offensively.
Illinois’ defense would hold Minnesota to 10 points in the third quarter and headed into the last frame with an 8-point lead — despite going on a scoring drought of more than three minutes."
