Wallace getting featured with a Bowman U Now card

I'm pretty confident this means she'll be included in the regular Bowman U Chrome basketball set that'll be released in a couple months. No Illini woman has even been on a nationally printed card (in college uniform, Wallace was in the McDonald's AA set and Angelina Williams has a couple WNBA cards).

Apparently the refs lost track of the number of fouls on MD and failed to give Illinois bonus FTs

Something to note in Maryland/Illinois. Maryland committed their 6th team foul in the 1Q and the officials failed to grant to bonus FTs to Illinois.

The scorer's table official made multiple attempts to intervene. (I sit right behind him)

UM is up 39-35 at the half in Champaign. #WCBB #NCAAWBB
