Four of those teams are in the top six of the current Big Ten standings -- No. 2 Maryland, No. 4 Ohio State, No. 5 Iowa and No. 6 Michigan State.

She is fourth all-time in career scoring, with Diane Dietz (3rd, 2,076) and Hallie Thome (2nd, 2,081) just ahead of her. Hillmon also passed Trish Andrew's career record of 44 double-doubles, pushing her total to 45. Hillmon is also closing in on becoming the first player in Michigan history - man or woman - to record 2,000 points and 1,000 rebounds. She is 26 rebounds away from 1,000.
