The orange and blue will be back at home this Thursday to take on Northwestern. Make plans to come out to Assembly Hall and help the team keep their momentum going!
HEY BLUE CREW!
Your chances to watch the Illini women’s basketball team at home this season are getting smaller, so come out to Assembly Hall this Thursday when the squad takes on Michigan State in a pivotal Big Ten contest. The orange and blue recently sent shockwaves across the college landscape after upsetting the Big Ten leading Indiana Hoosiers and gritting out a tough road win at Northwestern. Now it’s up to us to help these ladies keep the momentum going.
Besides cheering on the Illini, you can also pick up your official Blue Crew t shirt AND sign up for the Blue Crew roadtrip to Purdue at this game (check illinipride.com for more info on the roadtrip). We’ll also be giving away a basketball autographed by Bruce Weber and Jolette Law to the loudest and craziest fan. And if that weren’t enough, there will also be an autograph session with the Swimming and Diving, Women’s Tennis, Women’s Gymnastics, Volleyball and Soccer teams following the game. There will never be another opportunity like this to interact with the finest college athletes in the nation, so don’t miss out!
