Now that you're fully rested from Thanksgiving, it's back to
business here on In The Circle. Our tour of the
Big Ten continues as we focus on two schools looking to make their
way back to the postseason. First, we had to Happy Valley for a
chat with Penn State Head Coach Clarisa Crowell. After another
30+ win season and back-to-back years at .500 or better in
conference, optimism is high for her fourth season. She chats about
how her team will look entering 2024, life without lefty ace
Bailey Parshall, and the changing landscape in her
league.
Next, we head to Champagne and catch up with Illinois Head
Coach Tyra Perry. While the Fighting Illini finished with a winning
record, 2023 fell short of their expectations. Coach Perry shares
how things went in the fall, what players to look for, and her
optimism for her squad heading into February.
