The win gives the Illinois women’s basketball team the first postseason tourney title in program history.

Christina Dalce of Villanova and Adalia McKenzie of Illinois battle for the ball during the Women’s Basketball Invitation Tournament Championship at Hinkle Fieldhouse on April 3, 2024, in Indianapolis.

Cook also had five assists, five 3-pointers and was selected the tournament’s Most Outstanding Player. She had 20 points and five assists in Tuesday’s semifinal victory over Washington State and averaged 21.0 points during the five-game title run. Illinois started fast but frittered away the lead when Cook left with her second foul early in the second quarter. The Wildcats took advantage by building a 32-29 halftime lead.
