Bryant&#8217;s award marks the first Player of the Week award by the Illini women&#8217;s basketball program since the 2013-14 campaign. Bryant&#8217;s triple double line read 20 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds &#8211; which also marked the first double double of her career. Her performance marked just the third triple double in Illinois program history and the second of the 2022-23 season by a Big Ten player.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Bryant became only the sixth player in Big Ten history to score 20 points in a points\/rebounds\/assists triple-double, and third since 2009-10 (four by Iowa&#8217;s Caitlin Clark last year; one by Michigan State&#8217;s Tori Jankoska in 2016-17).<\/p>\n<h3><strong>FIRST NET RANKINGS OF 2022-23<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>With a 7-2 start, Illinois came in at No. 19 in the first NET rankings of 2022-23 and is currently No. 35.\u00a0<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>In the same rankings a year prior, the Illini were No. 193 &#8211; marking a 174-spot difference in the first poll of the season.<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>Big Ten Conference led all Division I conferences with five teams in the top 20 and 10 schools among the top 50 in the first report.&#13;\n<ul>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>&#13;\n<p>Current B1G NET rankings are: No. 5 Indiana, No. 9 Iowa, No. 11\u00a0Ohio State, No. 16\u00a0Michigan, No. 21\u00a0Maryland, No. 35\u00a0Illinois, No.\u00a037 Purdue, No. 38\u00a0Nebraska, No. 41\u00a0Michigan State, No. 79 Penn State, No. 110\u00a0Minnesota, No. 115\u00a0Northwestern, No. 125\u00a0Wisconsin, and No. 148\u00a0Rutgers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#13;\n\t\t<\/li>\n<p>&#13;\n\t<\/ul>\n<p>&#13;\n\t<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>The NCAA Evaluation Tool (NET) is the primary sorting tool used for determining NCAA Tournament teams.<\/li>\n<p>&#13;\n<\/ul>\n<h3>&#13;<br \/>\n<strong style=\"font-size: 13px;\">NAME OF THE GAME IS DEFENSE<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Illinois women&#8217;s basketball has instilled the goal of holding opponents to 10 points or less per quarter.
