Hoops in the Heartland Tournament

I know we have talked about them but really just an amazing job by the UIC Women's basketball team this season!

They won 2 games last year. 2 games! And tonight, they won their first round game against Valparaiso to improve to 18-14 on the season. Just an amazing job by Coach Bracey and the team.

They will move on to play Northern Iowa tomorrow night. They're 0-2 against UNI with a 35 point loss @ Cedar Falls in January and then an 8 point loss back in February.

Whatever happens tomorrow or possibly afterwards, still an amazing turnaround. It is already the greatest win improvement from one season to the next in MVC women's basketball history.

Looks like UIC is participating in the WBI. Winning this would be a nice way to finish a good season.

Very good to see for the program.

Is this the first postseason appearance for the women's basketball program?

They actually won the WBI in 2014. I think it was the last good year we had before this year. Things were looking up under Regina Miller…then fall apart for some reason.

They went to the WNIT under Lisa Ryckbosch around 2006 or so.
