🔼 Untamable. Tiger golfers Ingrid Lindblad and Latanna Stone couldn’t decide on a winner after three rounds, so they tied for first-place! The two shot 207 individually and led the Tigers to a first-place team finish at the Illini Women’s Invitational. Aine Donegan and Carla Tejedo tied for ninth-place. The win was the team’s first of the fall season and Ingrid’s second co-medal.

🔼 Must See TV. The women’s basketball season opener in Las Vegas will be live on TNT! The Tigers will play Colorado at 6:30pm in the Hall of Fame Series Las Vegas on November 6. USC vs. Kansas State men’s basketball will follow the LSU game. It’ll be a star-studded night on TNT, there might even be an appearance from Shaq himself!

🔼 Practice Makes Perfect. The baseball team continues to play their intra-squad scrimmages this week. They’ll play at 3:30pm on Thursday and Friday and 12:30pm on Sunday. All are free and open to the public at Alex Box Stadium. You won’t want to miss out on the first looks of the newcomers.

He previews his 2023-24 roster that's loaded with talent, comprised of six super seniors, five four-year seniors, four juniors, three sophomores and five freshmen.
