Senior nights abound! The Illini are saying goodbye to Rachel Borden, McKenzie Eddy, Mallory Mizuki, Olivia O’Donnell, Arayah Simons, Mia Takekawa, Mia Townes and Julia Waight this afternoon. That’s…a big scary list but for now we’ll stick to being sad and not trying to thing about lineups next year.
Anything over a 196.425 is a win for Illinois here, NQS-wise. Something more in the 196.700 vicinity would be ideal. Kentucky absolutely needs one more strong away score to add to its NQS, so this is a big moment for the Wildcats. It’s 197-or-bust. Kentucky could go as high as No. 7 with a big number.
Illinois State will be looking more closely at individual NQS numbers: Jaye Mack and Nirel Bart-Williams are in the hunt on floor.
