CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (WAND) -- The work never stops when trying to build a program. The Illini women's basketball team is hard at work this summer after bringing back pretty much the entirety of last year's team. 

This is also the time of the year when coaches are trying to lock down their non-conference schedule, which is no different for Shauna Green. 

She said it is like a balancing act between wanting early test and not wanting to be worn down by the start of conference play.
