What wacky scheduling
Illinois plays Wisconsin, Purdue, Wisconsin, Purdue consecutively.

Hoping we play with confidence and a little reckless against Wisc. We are going to have to go after and take some risks to win this one.

I'll prepare to get checked. I did the same thing, found a single seat on the IL site. You are lucky you did. The GA seats are absolutely awful. You can't see a darn thing. Maybe the top half of the court. Unless you stand. GA seats are bad but the parking situation is worse. Get their early and hope for no rain.

I took stabs at the lineups but please reach out if you have different predictions. As someone who doesn't follow pro football, I'm especially psyched about this noon Sunday match! From what we saw Friday night, Civita will almost certainly not be playing for Wisconsin. Izzy Ashburn will play a DS (but as a setter by training, not do much in terms of serve-receive; for her serve and as a 'second setter' when Hilley has to take the first touch), Anna MacDonald as a serving sub for the 'serving middle' Rettke, Robinson as the 2nd middle, and either Demps or Lauren Jardine (or at one time or another, both) on the right side.

Thanks for the rundown! Will update the OP when I get a chance. Glad we’re only about two hours from first serve!

Get their early and hope for no rain. Luckily with it being a Sunday match, I think maybe all metered spaces around Huff should be free. There's a decent sized lot at UIUC's Main Library which is maybe the next closest lot to Huff, aside from the lot adjacent to Huff. Those are mostly metered spaces and not heavily trafficked during Sunday mornings. Google Maps

How is Illinois this year? I haven't seen them. Based on results, seems like a lot of progress. No really bad losses and of course the nice win over Purdue. Do they have weapons to hurt WI, and do they have defensive/block capabilities to slow down WI's offense - at least a little?

Barnes on Barnes violence T minus 90 minutes It just occurred to me - Lauren was a transfer from Minnesota where she won a Big Ten championship to go with the two at Wisconsin, and so she has a ridiculously good Big Ten personal won-loss record... and Caroline is undefeated in Big Ten play. Barnes's don't lose in the Big Ten, but somebody's getting a loss today.

Doesn’t look like Civita made the trip. Smrek looks available.
Only Gregus and Holzman out for Illinois.
