CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Shauna Green has been patiently waiting for this portion of her schedule to arrive: a full week of no games and just practice and recovery.
Following a 15-point loss at then-No. 3 UCLA and 10-point loss at then No. 4 Southern California in a late winter weekend in Los Angeles, Illinois (21-7, 11-6 in Big Ten Conference) now has a chance to relax before what will be an emotionally-charged regular season finale, an important Big Ten Tournament in Indianapolis and what they believe will be an NCAA Tournament experience.
