The Illinois women's basketball team, ranked No. 23/24, is set to host Le Moyne on Monday, November 18th at the State Farm Center in Champaign. The game is scheduled for 11 a.m. CT and will be available for viewing through B1G+, with Mike Koon providing commentary on the Busey Bank Illini Sports Network.

This matchup marks the first-ever meeting between Illinois and Le Moyne. The Fighting Illini are off to a strong start this season, having defeated No. 19 Florida State and Marquette in their opening games. Head coach Shauna Green, who recently celebrated her 200th career win, has led Illinois to three consecutive seasons ranked in the Associated Press Top-25 Poll.

Illinois returns four players who have scored over 1,000 career points: Makira Cook, Adalia McKenzie, Genesis Bryant, and Kendall Bostic. This achievement ties them with Baylor, Notre Dame, and Kansas State for the most in the NCAA.

The team's defense has been notable this season; they have held opponents to a combined 17.1% from three-point range over their first three games. In their recent victory against Eastern Illinois, Illinois restricted them to just an 8% shooting mark from beyond the arc.

Shauna Green's leadership has seen significant achievements since her tenure began at Illinois. Under her guidance, the team won its first-ever postseason title at the inaugural WBIT Championship earlier this year.

Le Moyne enters Monday's game following a road trip that includes a game against Illinois State on Sunday. They currently hold an 0-3 record for the season.

For fans unable to attend in person, subscriptions for live streaming of non-televised events are available through B1G+. This service offers both monthly and annual rates and includes access to past games and other Big Ten Network content related to Illinois' previous seasons.
