MEDIA INFORMATION

STATE FARM CENTER

Illinois has an outstanding home in State Farm Center. Known as Assembly Hall from its construction in 1963 to 2013, the iconic arena was renamed State Farm Center on April 29, 2013, with the announcement of a 30-year, $60 million naming rights agreement. State Farm Center is undergoing a major renovation, which began following the conclusion of the 2014 season, dubbed the Illinois Renaissance. The $169.5-million project includes a renovated seating bowl; the addition of four levels of premium seating; improved restrooms and concessions; a team store; air conditioning and many other amenities. Construction is occuring around each Fighting Illini basketball season, with the project scheduled to be completed in the fall of 2016. The historic building opened on March 2, 1963, and continues to attract attention for its design and construction. Four hundred feet across, it at one time was one of only two edge-supported domes in the world. The roof is supported by 614 miles of one-quarter inch steel wire wrapped at the base of the dome under intensive pressure. The architect was Max Abramovitz, a distinguished University of Illinois alumnus. Illinois opened play at State Farm Center on March 4, 1963, with a 79-73 victory over Northwestern. Since that first game, the Illini have accumulated a 578-157 (.786) record. Illinois has sold out a total of 256 games at State Farm Center and has ranked in the top 25 nationally in home attendance for 37 straight years, including in the top 17 for each of the last 16 seasons. Fans help turn State Farm Center into a sea of orange for every Illini home game, with practically every person in attendance proudly wearing orange. That, combined with the Orange Krush student cheering section surrounding the court, gives the Illini one of the best home court advantages in the country. In seating capacity, State Farm Center ranks among the great arenas of major cities and is the largest arena in the state of Illinois outside of Chicagoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s United Center. Seating capacity for Fighting Illini basketball following State Farm Center renovations is 15,544.

FIGHTING ILLINI SPORTS NETWORK

FIGHTING ILLINI SPORTS NETWORK AFFILIATES

(L-R): Former Illini great Jerry Hester and Brian Barnhart team up for basketball broadcasts on the Fighting Illini Sports Network. The 43-station Fighting Illini Sports Network brings Illinois basketball to fans across the state and Midwest with Brian Barnhart and Jerry Hester calling the action from courtside. Barnhart is in his 14th season as the “Voice of the Illini” after a long stint in professional baseball, including two years as the play-by-play voice of the Anaheim Angels. Barnhart serves as the voice of the Fighting Illini Sports Network, providing play-by-play coverage of football and men’s basketball and as the host of the statewide coaches call-in programs held weekly during the season (Tuesdays at 7 p.m. for football, Mondays at 7 p.m. for basketball). A native of nearby Tolono, Barnhart graduated from Unity High School and Liberty University before beginning a 15-year career in professional baseball in 1986. He served as the play-byplay voice of the Lynchburg Mets and Salem Buccaneers before moving up to the Oklahoma City 89ers, the Class AAA affiliate of the Texas Rangers, from 1988-94. Barnhart did high school football and other sport play-by-play for 11 years and was also the voice for Oklahoma Baptist basketball from 1992-94 and Oklahoma City Blazers minor league hockey in 1993. From 1996-98, he handled news, sports and play-byplay at WWLS in Oklahoma City. In 1998, Barnhart was named the play-byplay announcer for the Angels and spent two full seasons with the American League club before returning to the Champaign-Urbana area in 2000. He currently is a news and sports announcer at WDWS-AM 1400 in Champaign.

During the 2007 season, Barnhart was honored by the Illinois Broadcasters Association with the Silver Dome Award for Best Sports Play-by-Play for his call of Illinois’ football upset of No. 1 Ohio State. He received the Silver Dome again in 2008 for his call of the Illini’s ninth straight Braggin’ Rights win over Missouri, and earned a third-straight Silver Dome in 2009 for his playby-play description of Illinois’ school-record come-from-behind win at Clemson. Barnhart was named the 2008 Illinois Sportscaster of the Year by the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association, becoming just the second downstate sportscaster to win the award since 1959. Jerry Hester is now in his 11th season serving as the expert analyst on Fighting Illini Sports Network men’s basketball broadcasts. Hester started at Illinois from 1994-98 and was a key member of the UI’s 1998 Big Ten Championship team. Following graduation, he played professionally in Poland, England and Italy. Hester is currently a financial advisor with The Downey Group. The statewide Fighting Illini Sports Network is managed by Fighting Illini Sports Properties and encompasses all sponsorship and operational elements. Fighting Illini Sports Network programming includes hour-long pregame and postgame shows around live football and men’s basketball games, plus coverage of women’s basketball, volleyball and baseball, along with the “Illini Today” daily report.

THE COACHING STAFF

HEAD COACH JOHN GROCE “Why can’t we become the standard of excellence among those teams in the Big Ten competing for championships? Why can’t we do that consistently here? The answer is, we can.” –– John Groce at his introductory press conference (March 29, 2012) John Groce enters his fourth season in charge of the Fighting Illini program in 2015-16. He has led the Illini to an average of more than 20 wins per season and postseason appearances in his first three years in Champaign, owning a combined record of 62-42.

THE GROCE FILE BORN Sept. 7, 1971, in Muncie, Ind. HOMETOWN Danville, Ind. FAMILY Wife, Allison; Sons, Conner and Camden; Daughter, Cate EDUCATION Taylor University B.S., Mathematics, 1994 PLAYING EXPERIENCE 1991-93 Taylor University COACHING EXPERIENCE 1994-96 Assistant Coach Taylor University 1997-2000 Assistant Coach North Carolina State University 2001 Assistant Coach Butler University 2002-04 Assistant Coach Xavier University 2005-06 Assistant Coach Ohio State University 2007-08 Associate Head Coach Ohio State University 2009-12 Head Coach Ohio University 2013Head Coach University of Illinois

During the 2014-15 season, Groce directed Illinois to 19 wins and its first .500 campaign in Big Ten play in four years. The Illini battled through injuries to key players and other adversity to challenge for an NCAA Tournament bid before earning a No. 3 seed in the NIT. Off the court, meanwhile, the coaching staff continued to strengthen the Fighting Illini roster for the future by signing a top-20 recruiting class, the UI’s second nationally ranked class in three years under Groce. Illinois extended the nation’s longest November winning streak with another perfect opening month, topped by a victory over Baylor in the Las Vegas Invitational title game that moved the Illini into the Top 25 rankings. Another non-conference highlight was the first buzzer beater in the history of the Braggin’ Rights series, as Rayvonte Rice drained a 3-pointer with time expiring to give the Illini a second-straight victory over Missouri. Included in the UI’s nine conference wins were three victories over teams that finished in the top four of the Big Ten standings, as the Illini took down 11th-ranked Maryland and Purdue at home and defeated eventual Final Four participant Michigan State on the road.

with three of those victories coming on the road at Minnesota, at No. 18 Michigan State and at No. 24 Iowa. The Illini added wins over Indiana in the first round of the Big Ten Tournament and at Boston U in the first round of the NIT to finish the season with six victories over its final nine contests, with both postseason losses coming by just one point apiece. Groce led the Illinois program to a number of achievements during his first year in 2012-13 – including a 23-win campaign that marked a sixwin improvement from the UI’s previous season – culminating in an NCAA Tournament appearance and subsequent victory to advance to the Round of 32. Illinois won its first 12 games in 2012-13, equaling the sixth-best start in school history and matching the best start ever for a first-year UI coach. Included in that stretch was a dominating performance in Hawaii as the Illini captured the school’s firstever Maui Invitational championship. Illinois also recorded arguably the most impressive win of college basketball’s pre-conference season, winning at No. 10 Gonzaga by double digits. The Illini spent eight weeks ranked in the Top 25, reaching as high as No. 10 in the national polls. Illinois recorded two more top-10 wins during conference play in one of the most difficult seasons in Big Ten history. The Illini defeated No. 8 Ohio State on Jan. 5 by 19 points, the UI’s largest margin

Illinois’ two RPI top-10 wins tied for second nationally during the regular season. Groce’s third Fighting Illini squad also set a pair of statistical milestones, leading the nation in free throw percentage with school-record accuracy of 79.4 percent, and setting another program record for fewest turnovers per game at 9.9. Groce guided one of the youngest and most inexperienced teams in the nation during the 201314 season to 20 wins and a No. 2 seed in the NIT, as the Illini narrowly missed a trip to the NCAA Tournament. Entering the year with nine newcomers and returning just three rotation players, Groce emphasized defense to his young squad and it delivered, finishing the season ranked 11th nationally in defensive efficiency. Illinois won 13 of its first 15 games, highlighted by thrilling wins at UNLV, in the Braggin’ Rights game over No. 23 Missouri and against Indiana in overtime on New Year’s Eve. The Illini then played some of their best basketball late in the season, a staple of Groce’s teams throughout his coaching career. Illinois head coach John Groce with his wife, Allison, their Illinois won four of its last five regular season games, daughter, Cate, and sons, Conner and Camden (top).

In addition to the success on the court, Groce also made an immediate impact on the recruiting trail, signing a top-25 ranked class in less than eight months on the job in Champaign. Groce was named the 17th Fighting Illini men’s basketball coach on March 29, 2012. He arrived at Illinois after four seasons as head coach at Ohio University, where he led the Bobcats to an 85-56 overall record as well as Mid-American Conference Tournament titles and NCAA Tournament appearances in 2010 and 2012.

The Bobcats finished just short of the Elite Eight, falling to top-seed North Carolina in overtime in the regional semifinal. It marked just the second time in Ohio’s school history and first since 1964 that the Bobcats won multiple games in the NCAA Tournament. Ohio finished the 2012 season with a school-record 29 wins and was known for its pressure defense, ranking second nationally in turnover percentage and third in steals percentage. Ohio also made noise in the 2010 postseason. Playing in the school’s first NCAA Tournament game in five seasons, the Bobcats received a No. 14 seed and defeated No. 3 seed Georgetown. With the 2010 and 2012 NCAA performances, Ohio became just the sixth school ever to win Tournament games as both a 13 and 14 seed. The 44-year-old Groce has a total of 22 years in the coaching profession and has been part of teams that have made 19 postseason appearances. His record in 15 years as an assistant was an impressive 349-156, giving him a combined record of 496-254.

THE COACHING STAFF

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS MIKE THOMAS Mike Thomas is in his fifth year at the University of Illinois in 2015-16 after being named the school’s 18th director of athletics on Aug. 10, 2011, following six successful years as the director of athletics at the University of Cincinnati. A 30-year veteran of college athletics administration, Thomas is leading the Fighting Illini athletic program to national prominence. In four years leading the Division of Intercollegiate Athletics at Illinois, Thomas has executed a number of major projects. Thomas launched the three-year, $170 million State Farm Center renovation project – including a landmark 30-year, $60 million corporate naming rights agreement that is the largest for a collegeonly venue in the country. In the three years since the start of the State Farm Center fund raising campaign, approximately $100 million has been raised for the project. Construction started in winter 2014 and will be completed in full before the 2016-17 basketball season. Thomas spearheaded a $7.2 million project at Memorial Stadium that included a new video board, ribbon boards, auxiliary video boards, sound system and control room to enhance the fan experience at Illini football games. Along with head coach Mike Small, Thomas oversaw the fundraising for and construction of the $5.5 million Lauritsen/ Wohlers Outdoor Golf Practice Facility. In addition, the $1.2 million second-phase renovation of Huff Hall, which featured a new floor and lower bowl bleachers among other upgrades, was completed in summer 2014. And in spring 2014, Thomas moved forward with two studies – renovating the south and east sides of Memorial Stadium and developing a master plan for Olympic sport venues – that were completed in the summer of 2015. On the branding front, Thomas guided Illinois through an 18-month collaboration with Nike, completed in April 2014, that resulted in a new brand and identity system including new uniforms and consistent colors, logos, lettering and numerals. He also led a group that signed a 10-year agreement with Learfield Sports estimated to be worth more than $60 million to become DIA’s exclusive marketing partner and multimedia rights holder, and launched “Illinois. Our State. Our Team.” as the theme for Fighting Illini athletics. Under Mike Thomas’ leadership, a new baseline trend of funding is taking place through the Illinois Renaissance of State Farm Center and within the I FUND scholarships. In 2011, average cash contributions were $17 million and new business pledges totaled $14 million annually. Heading into the 2015-16 season, contributions and investments are on an upward trajectory. Over the past three years, the average cash contributions are over $25 million per year with an all-time high of $29.2 million in 2014 and $26.7 million in fiscal year 2015, the second-highest in Illinois history. Over the past three years, new business pledges have been $77.5 million, $29.4 million and $25.9 million, with all three ranking in the top four all-time at Illinois.

The overall APR of all Bearcats programs also increased during Thomas’ tenure. In the final APR report from his tenure, five UC athletic teams earned perfect APR scores of 1,000, including men’s basketball. In that same time period, the Graduate Success Rate (GSR) for student-athletes increased from 66 percent to 77 percent. From 2006-11, UC’s student-athletes emerged as community leaders, with annual community service hours growing from 1,000 to over 5,500. On the external side, the University of Cincinnati grew at a tremendous rate. Thomas increased UC’s athletic department budget 20 percent, while simultaneously reducing the annual operating deficit by more than $6 million. UC established single-season attendance and revenue records for football in each of the three seasons from 2008-10. Football attendance skyrocketed, with season-ticket package sales exploding by 277 percent since 2006 and resulting in record football revenues. In terms of donor development, membership in UCATS increased by almost 300 percent during Thomas’ tenure and the department raised $70 million during his arrival. Thomas raised private funds and built the Sheakley Athletics Center, providing football and other UC athletic teams much needed additional practice and competitive space. In 2008-09, Thomas revamped UC’s multimedia rights partnership, reaching an agreement with IMG College for a new multimedia rights partnership, increasing overall revenues in this area by over $17 million. Prior to taking the athletic director position at UC, Thomas spent five years as the Director of Athletics at the University of Akron and seven years as associate athletics director at the University of Virginia, an institution known for achieving impressive success both academically and athletically, before bringing that model to Akron. Virginia finished in the Top 25 in the Director’s Cup in each year of Thomas’ tenure there while at the same time finishing in the Top 10 nationally in student-athlete graduation rates. Under Thomas’ direction, Akron rose from last place to second among Mid-American Conference schools in the Director’s Cup annual rankings. Simultaneously, Akron vaulted from last to second place in the MAC Academic Achievement Awards. Thomas increased the financial base of the Akron athletics program through increasing corporate sponsorship levels by 750 percent and boosted annual giving to athletics to its highest level in the school’s history. Community support was rallied, with record increases shown in both football and basketball attendance. During this time period, the Zips won their first and only MAC football championship and participated in the program’s lone FBS bowl game in history. Thomas’ hire of men’s basketball coach Keith Dambrot led to unparalleled success on the hardwood with Dambrot’s program becoming one of the most successful in the MAC over the past 11 seasons, including eight postseason appearances. While at Akron, support services and facilities for academic support for student-athletes were significantly improved, resulting in jumps in grade point averages and graduation rates of UA student-athletes.

Additionally, the launch of a new athletics development website, I FUND benefits, giving levels, and the new slogan “I AM THE I FUND” is re-energizing and invigorating donor support. I FUND Scholarships (annual giving program to support the scholarships of 500+ student-athletes) exceeded $8 million in 2015, for the third-highest total in program history, surpassed only by the 2008 Rose Bowl season and the following year in 2009.

During his career in collegiate athletics, Thomas has coordinated approximately $360 million in facility construction and renovation, including $25 million in capital improvements at Akron that featured a new indoor fieldhouse and golf facility, a football practice complex, and a softball facility. He also spearheaded the new on-campus football stadium and was instrumental in the development and launching stages of the $61 million facility, which opened in September of 2009.

On the competitive front, Illini teams have compiled one NCAA championship, 10 Big Ten titles, and 13 individual NCAA titles during Thomas’ four years at the helm. The spring of 2015 was especially fruitful, with baseball, men’s golf, men’s tennis and men’s track and field all winning Big Ten titles to mark the first time since 1927 that four Illinois teams won spring conference titles. In 2012, Thomas’ first year at Illinois, the Fighting Illini finished 21st overall in the Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup standings, marking the program’s second-best finish in the 22-year history of the award.

At Virginia, Thomas served as a member of the senior staff and was sport oversight for eight programs. He served as the department liaison for the $86 million renovation to UVA’s football stadium and oversaw several other capital projects. In addition, Thomas served as the Chair of the Atlantic Coast Conference Men’s and Women’s Swimming and Diving Committee and also served on the ACC Sportsmanship Committee.

In the classroom, Fighting Illini student-athletes posted an impressive 3.25 overall GPA for the Fall 2014 semester and 3.24 for Spring 2015, up from 3.05 when Thomas arrived in 2011. Thirteen teams posted a perfect 1,000 in the NCAA Academic Progress Rate (APR) for the 2013-14 academic year – Baseball, Men’s Basketball, Football, Men’s Golf, Men’s Tennis, Women’s Basketball, Women’s Cross Country, Women’s Golf, Women’s Gymnastics, Softball, Women’s Swimming, Women’s Tennis, and Volleyball – while seven earned the NCAA Public Recognition Award, a new school record, by ranking in the top 10 percent of their sport nationally for the four-year period ending with 201314: Baseball, Men’s Golf, Women’s Golf, Women’s Gymnastics, Soccer, Volleyball, and Women’s Tennis. For the fourth straight year, Fighting Illini student-athletes, coaches and staff completed over 7,000 hours of community service. Prior to his move to Illinois, Thomas revamped and led a vibrant Cincinnati Bearcats athletic program from 2005-11, directing the school’s launch into the Big East Conference and earning several Big East championships, as well as multiple Big East academic excellence awards. In 2006, Thomas hired head football coach Brian Kelly and the Cincinnati football team made program history in the three following seasons by achieving a 34-6 record, consecutive Big East Championships and appearances in the Orange and Sugar Bowls. The 2009 season ended with UC finishing 12-0 and No. 3 in the final BCS rankings. Thomas also hired Butch Jones, who went on to ensure Cincinnati’s dominance on the conference scene, sharing in a Big East title in 2011 and 2012. Thomas brought back a Bearcat when he hired former UC assistant Mick Cronin as head men’s basketball coach in 2006. Cronin returned the program to national prominence with appearances in the NCAA tournament the past four seasons. UC grew to be one of the most recognized schools in the 16-member Big East for academic success and earning multiple Big East Academic Excellence Awards, including a league-high five Big East Academic Excellence Awards in 2009-10.

Recognized for his administrative acumen by his peers, Thomas has served on several national and conference committees, including the NCAA Division I Championship/ Sports Management Cabinet (where he also served as the NCAA men’s basketball liaison to the cabinet and as a member of the cabinet’s four-person Administrative Committee) and the NCAA Men’s Basketball Issues Committee. Thomas also previously chaired the Big East Championship and Competition Committee and served as a member of the NCAA Division I Championships/Competition Cabinet, the NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Issues Committee, the NCAA Division I Academics/Eligibility/Compliance Cabinet, the NCAA Postseason Bowl Licensing Subcommittee and the Division IA Athletics Director’s Association Legislative Review Committee. He presently serves on the Big Ten Legislative Review Committee, United States Tennis Association (USTA) Athletic Director Advisory Committee and is Co-Chair of the annual Collegiate Sports Summit. Twice during his career, Thomas has received distinction for his efforts and dedication as a director of athletics, garnering the General Robert R. Neyland Outstanding Athletics Director Award in 2005 at Akron and then again in April of 2008 at Cincinnati. He has been recognized by the Cincinnati Sports Professionals Network as the 2009-10 Sports Executive of the Year. Prior to his experience at Virginia, Thomas spent seven years at the University of Denver as assistant athletic director for internal operations, serving as chief financial officer and overseeing the departments of compliance, merchandising, and facilities. He began his athletic administration career at the University of Iowa as an administrative and operations intern. Thomas received his bachelor’s degree in business administration from Colorado State University in 1983, and his master’s degree in athletic administration from Western Illinois University in 1986. He and his wife, Jenifer, have four children: Vince, Joey, Mick and Meredith.

THE COACHING STAFF

RICHMOND ENDOWMENT

RICHMONDS ENDOW BASKETBALL COACH’S POSITION The legacy of Jack Richmond abounds at his alma mater, the University of Illinois.

It also made him further appreciate the University of Illinois.

The Champaign resident, retired businessman, and U of I graduate and benefactor died April 17, 2011. But his love of his university lives. One of the more recent gifts from the lifelong Fighting Illini fan and his wife, Marge, endowed the salary of the men’s basketball head coach position. This $2 million gift significantly increased their previous seven-figure commitment to the Division of Intercollegiate Athletics.

His years at the U of I were greatly satisfying. He was a member of Phi Gamma Delta social fraternity and was active in sports. As a freshman gymnast who earned his numerals with the U of I team, Jack broke his sternum following a dismount from the flying rings. No longer able to compete as a gymnast, he focused his attention on weight training. At that point, weights weren’t popular and were nonexistent at the U of I.

Their generosity extends across the U-C campus. In 2004, Mr. Richmond made a six-figure gift creating the Jack C. Richmond Scholarships for members of the men’s varsity gymnastics team. In 2003, the Richmonds made a $1.5 million gift resulted in Richmond Family Gallery, the first floor reception area in the Alice Campbell Alumni Center. The Richmonds also provided a $2 million gift to the College of Communications in 1998 that created the Richmond Journalism Teaching Studio, a broadcast facility for journalism students in Campbell Hall for Public Telecommunication. The Richmond Studio and the Richmond Family Gallery honor Jack and Marge as well as the memory of Jack’s parents, Arthur Dean and Mildred Hummel Richmond. “The Richmond Family Endowed Men’s Head Basketball Coach” is another example of the generations-long benevolence of the Richmond family. Jack’s ancestors helped settle Champaign County, and his parents contributed to the U of I for the construction of Memorial Stadium. Seven-year-old Jack was on hand for the dedication of Memorial Stadium on Oct. 18, 1924, a day forever highlighted by Red Grange’s five touchdowns during an Illinois romp over top-ranked Michigan. Jack Richmond was hooked on Fighting Illini sports for the rest of his life. But before he could attend the U of I, he learned a few lessons in life. The Richmonds were devastated by the Great Depression, losing their significant holdings of farmland and other assets. The dramatic change in lifestyle had a profound effect on young Jack.

Still, he convinced Seward Staley, director of the U of I School of Physical Education, to purchase a set of Olympic weights. A small but dedicated weight lifting team was formed, and the sport spread to first to the intramural level and then was adopted by the physical education department as a P.E. course.

Above: Jack and Marge Richmond with Mr. Richmond’s mother, Mildred. Right: Jack Richmond, 1940.

Today, the benefits of weight training are widely recognized and top-notch equipment is available across campus. Those muscles paid off for Jack, who was a railroad worker, wrecking crew member, meat truck driver, corn detassler, lifeguard, bouncer and even a model for the U of I art school to pay for his education. He graduated in 1943 with a bachelor’s degree in agriculture. He followed up his four years of ROTC at the U of I with a tour in the Army. Then he put his degree to work when he joined the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Soil Conservation Service as a county farm planner, opening district offices in Macon County and Clark County. Later, Mr. Richmond was recruited by a former member of the U of I gymnastics team as a salesman for Marchant Calculators. His capacity to sell was exceptional, and he soon had clients from area grain elevator operators to the U of I. He remained with Marchant, which was acquired by Smith Corona and became known as SCM Corp., until 1972. Then he was ready to embark on a new course — the stock market.

He had dabbled in the market since 1955, but by the early 1970s he had the time and resources to become more active in the stock market. He enjoyed success in this realm as well, and was more than willing to share. A donor since 1965, his generosity to the U of I increased significantly over the years. Jack and his mother became members of the Presidents Council in 1976 and Marge became a member in 1990. Always interested in athletics at the U of I, Jack and Mildred Richmond had made a $1 million commitment to the Athletic Department in 1981. He became an honorary member of the I Man’s Association and had been a member and former president of the Illini Quarterback Club since 1955. He also joined the Rebounders Club shortly after former head coach Lou Henson founded it and had been a life member of the Fighting Illini Scholarship Fund. The Richmond name will be forever associated with athletics at the U of I through the endowment of the men’s basketball head coach position. For lifelong Fighting Illini fan Jack Richmond, that always seemed most appropriate.

THE FIGHTING ILLINI

SEASON PREVIEW Setting the Stage Illinois welcomes back 54 percent of its points, 49 percent of its rebounds and 52 percent of its minutes from the 2014-15 campaign. The Illini must replace leading scorer and rebounder Rayvonte Rice on the wing and defensive stalwart Nnanna Egwu in the post. But there are plenty of opportunities to emerge for a team that returns two of its top three scorers, four players with starting experience and seven letterwinners while welcoming a top-20 ranked recruiting class and total of seven new players to the mix in 2015-16. Abrams Out for Second Straight Year with Torn Achilles Point guard Tracy Abrams spent 10 months recovering from a torn ACL in his right knee that forced him to miss the 2014-15 season. Shortly after returning to full contact and 5-on-5 participation, Abrams suffered a second consecutive season-ending injury, tearing his left Achilles tendon during a July practice. So Illinois will once again be without its most experienced player on the roster, as Abrams had been a mainstay in the starting lineup since midway through his freshman campaign. He ranked second on the team in scoring in 2013-14, averaging 10.7 points, and led the Illini in assists (3.2 apg). Abrams currently plans to apply for a medical hardship waiver for a sixth season of eligibility in 2016-17. Graduate Transfers Add Experience For the third time in four seasons under Groce, the Illini will benefit from the addition of graduate transfers. Mike Thorne Jr. is eligible immediately after graduating from Charlotte in May. The 6-11, 270-pound center will bolster the UI frontcourt with his back-to-the-basket game. Thorne averaged 10.1 points on 53.4 percent shooting last season for the 49ers while ranking fifth in C-USA in rebounding with an average of 7.3 boards. Following the injury to Abrams, the Illini staff hit the recruiting trail in August to strengthen the point guard position. They found that player in Khalid Lewis, who is eligible immediately after graduating from La Salle in May. Lewis was unable to travel with the Illini to Europe due to the late signing, but arrived in time for the start of fall semester classes. He averaged 6.0 points, 2.0 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.0 steals last season at La Salle, ranking second on the Explorers in both assists and steals. Hill and Nunn Ready to Take Next Step With key scorers missing from the lineup last season, thensophomores Malcolm Hill and Kendrick Nunn became go-to players in the Illini offensive attack. Illinois will look for even more production from this duo as the team’s leading returning scorers enter their junior campaign. Hill was an honorable mention All-Big Ten pick last season after averaging 14.4 points and 4.8 rebounds. He scored in double figures in 29 of 33 games, including 16 times in conference play. Arguably the most improved player in the league last season, Hill had a number of highlight performances including a career-high 28 points in the victory over No. 11 Maryland, 27 points and the game-winning layup vs. Penn State, 22 points at Alabama in the NIT and 20 points vs. No. 7 Villanova at Madison Square Garden. Nunn ranked third on the Illini in scoring, averaging 11.1 points, and led the team with 54 three-pointers. He netted double figures 18 times and was the UI’s leading scorer in seven games, including six during conference play. Nunn topped 20 points on four occasions, led by a career-high 25 points in a victory at Northwestern followed by 24 points behind a career-best six 3-pointers vs. Indiana. Also Returning for the Orange and Blue Rounding out the returning letterwinners for the Illini are Jaylon Tate, Maverick Morgan, Leron Black, Mike LaTulip and Cameron Liss. Tate shared point guard duties last

season and led the Illini in assists, ranking 13th in the league with an average of 3.0 apg. He had 11 games with four or more assists, including a five-game stretch during Big Ten play where he averaged 6.2 apg. Tate has also been nearly automatic at the free throw line, knocking down 84.3 percent on the season and leading the league during conference play with 92.3 percent accuracy. Morgan has played back-up minutes at center over the first two seasons and could take on an expanded role following the graduation of Nnanna Egwu. Morgan averaged 2.5 points in 31 games last season and gives the Illini a good screener and physical presence in the post. Black showed flashes during his freshman season while adjusting to the college game. He broke into the starting lineup midway through conference play and ended up averaging 5.0 points and 4.3 rebounds on the year. Black became the first Illini player since 1986 to record a doubledouble in his first career start, tallying 15 points and careerhigh 13 rebounds in the win over Purdue. He has had a great offseason and was the team’s top performer during the European trip in August. LaTulip is entering his final season with the Illini. A preferred walk-on who earned a scholarship for the 2015 spring semester, LaTulip is one of the team’s most respected players because of his work ethic and competitiveness. He has elected to redshirt this season in order to retain a final year of eligibility as a graduate transfer. Liss, meanwhile, returns for his second season as a walk-on, providing depth in practice for the UI frontcourt.

Back in Action Michael Finke and Alex Austin will both challenge for minutes in the Illini rotation after sitting out last season. Finke elected to redshirt, focusing on gaining weight and adding strength while becoming acclimated to the college game. He previously averaged 19.6 points and 9.3 rebounds as a senior at Centennial High School in Champaign. Finke is a stretch post player who can knock down threes and has good passing skills.

Coleman-Lands is a top-50 recruit who averaged 23 points, four rebounds and three assists as a senior at La Lumiere Prep, earning a spot in the 2015 Jordan Brand Classic. A prolific scorer and tough defender, Coleman-Lands missed three months over the summer with a lower leg stress fracture. He is now in the process of working his way back to basketball activities with no timetable set for his return. Jordan averaged 18.6 points and 4.1 rebounds as a senior at Plainfield East High School, finishing fifth in voting for Illinois Mr. Basketball. The first-team All-State selection is a tremendous shooter who finished his career as East’s all-time leading scorer with 1,483 points and record holder with 162 career 3-pointers. Williams is a top-100 recruit from Chicago who is the latest Simeon High School star to attend Illinois. He averaged 14 points, four rebounds and five assists as a senior. Williams is a versatile athlete who has the ability to play multiple positions. He saw action both on the wing and at point during the team’s preseason European trip.

THE FIGHTING ILLINI

EUROPEAN TRIP RECAP The Fighting Illini got an early start on the 2015-16 season by participating in an international trip to Europe. The Aug. 9-19 trip featured three days in Ghent, Belgium, two in Deauville, France and four in Paris. Illinois played four games while also enjoying a number of sightseeing tours. The following is a look back at how the Illini performed on the trip. Aug. 11 – Illinois 68, Waregem 63 The Fighting Illini opened their European tour with a five-point victory over Waregem, a Belgian Division II professional team. Illinois took the court one day after traveling through the night and found itself in a tight game from the outset. Coach John Groce scripted minutes for his squad and stuck to that plan regardless of the score as 11 players saw action, with nine logging at least 14 minutes and no one playing more than 27. Illinois went on a key 14-3 run late in the third quarter to take a 53-42 lead. The hosts fought back and took a 58-56 lead of its own with five minutes remaining. Freshman D.J. Williams scored on a driving layup to tie it, and Malcolm Hill drained a 3-pointer off an insideout pass from Mike Thorne to put the Illini ahead 61-58. After Waregem’s Van Hulle hit a jumper to bring them within one, Kendrick Nunn was fouled on a pull-up and made the bucket plus the and-1 to give the Orange and Blue a 64-60 lead. Waregem again pulled to within one point, but Hill had the answer, driving hard to the basket through traffic and hitting a contested layup with 30 seconds to go to put the Illini up by three. After a defensive stop, Williams calmly knocked down a pair of free throws with seven seconds remaining to close out the win. Sophomore Leron Black had a double-double, registering game highs of 16 points and 14 rebounds. Hill added 15 points, while Thorne just missed out on a doubledouble, finishing with 10 points and nine rebounds.

Aug. 12 – The Netherlands 81, Illinois 54 Playing for a second-straight day to start its European tour, Illinois fell to the Netherlands National Team in Rotterdam. The Dutch squad, comprised of professional players, was in training camp preparations for EuroBasket 2015. The Illini battled the Orange Lions throughout the first half, trailing by just three points at the break. But they were outscored 51-27 in the second half as the Dutch surged to the win in front of a sold-out crowd of 1,500 orange-clad fans at the Topsportscentrum. Coach John Groce once again rotated different lineups, had players at multiple positions and substituted frequently, as a total of 10 players logged double-figure minutes. Juniors Maverick Morgan and Kendrick Nunn led the Illini in scoring, each registering 10 points. Junior Malcolm Hill and senior Mike Thorne added seven points apiece while freshman Aaron Jordan added six. Sophomore Leron Black continued his work on the glass, collecting a game-high eight boards. Nunn, meanwhile, added seven rebounds and freshman Michael Finke garnered six. Junior Jaylon Tate led the UI with five assists and posted an assist-turnover ratio of 5:1 in 28 minutes.

Aug. 15 – Illinois 95, Bretigny Select 73 A balanced offensive attack led the Fighting Illini to a 22-point victory over Bretigny Select during the third game of its European Tour. Playing their first game after a two-day break, the Illini shot nearly 46 percent from the field (37-81) and had five players score in double figures with seven totaling between eight and 15 points. After combining for just seven 3-pointers through the first two games of the tour, the Illini knocked down seven treys against Bretigny. The Illini also did a good job taking care of the ball, committing just 13 turnovers on the night compared to 37 through the first two games. Sophomore Leron Black recorded his second doubledouble of the tour, scoring 15 points and grabbing 10 boards. Senior Mike Thorne, junior Kendrick Nunn and freshman Aaron Jordan tallied 12 points apiece. Junior Jaylon Tate had his best performance of the tour, dishing out a game-high six assists while registering 10 points on 3-of-5 shooting and a perfect 4-of-4 at the foul line. Freshman Michael Finke was the UI’s second-leading rebounder with eight boards while chipping in nine points, and junior Malcolm Hill added eight points. The Illini trailed Bretigny by six points midway through the first quarter before going on a 15-1 run to grab a 28-20 lead early in the second. The Orange and Blue led by 10 at the break and opened up the second half by scoring nine of the first 12 points to extend its lead to 16. The margin swelled to 20 at the start of the fourth quarter. Illini head coach John Groce started his third different lineup of the trip and continued to subsititue frequently and spread out the minutes. Ten players logged at least 15 minutes with only one exceeding 20 (Tate, 26).

EUROPEAN TRIP RECAP FINAL BOX SCORE Illinois: 68 Waregem: 63 Date: 8/11/15 Location: Waregem, Belgium Time: 8 p.m.

Aug. 17 – Illinois 96, AMW Select 77 Illinois closed out its European tour with a 19-point victory over AMW Select in Paris. After falling behind 11-2 out of the gate, the Illini fought back to within one possession by the end of the first quarter. Less than a minute later, the UI faced its biggest deficit of the game at 10 points. The Orange and Blue responded with a staggering 26-3 run to open up a 45-32 lead with 3:22 remaining in the half. AMW got back to within nine, but freshman Aaron Jordan drained a 30-foot 3-pointer at the buzzer to get the Illini lead back to double digits, where it remained the rest of the way. Sophomore Leron Black continued his torrid play, recording his third double-double of the four-game tour with game highs of 21 points on 8-of-12 shooting and 15 rebounds. He scored in a variety of ways against AMW, from post moves in the paint to offensive rebounds, pull-up jumpers and pick-and-pop action. Black averaged a double-double for the trip at 14.0 points and 11.8 rebounds. Black was one of four Illini to score in double figures on the night. Junior Malcolm Hill netted 14 points while going a perfect 5-for-5 from the field. Freshman D.J. Williams set his trip-high with 14 points, and fellow freshman Aaron Jordan hit double digits for the second straight game with 13. Senior Mike LaTulip – who will redshirt this season in order to retain his final year of eligibility as as graduate transfer – earned the start for the game as an acknowledgement from Coach John Groce for all of his hard work and sacrifice for the program. LaTulip made the most of his opportunity, scoring nine points. While Black dominated the glass throughout the game, the Illini also received seven boards from senior Mike Thorne. Junior Jaylon Tate, meanwhile, had his third straight game of the tour with at least five assists, posting a game-high six assists compared to just one turnover. Illinois shot its best percentage of the trip, knocking down 47.6 percent from the field. Groce continuined with his plan of dividing the minutes nearly equally, with 11 Illini logging double figures and no one playing more than 23 minutes.

2014-15 IN REVIEW

2014-15 SEASON IN REVIEW There were a number of highlights for the Illini in 2014-15, as Coach John Groce’s third Illini squad battled through injuries and adversity throughout the season to record 19 victories – including two RPI top-10 wins – and post a .500 record in conference play. The injury bug hit early, with starting point guard Tracy Abrams suffering a torn ACL during a September workout, sidelining him for the season. The Fighting Illini started off the regular season on fire, recording four home wins by an average of 32.3 points. The offense was rolling, as Illinois recorded 114 points against Coppin State – the UI’s highest point total in a game in 21 seasons – and drained 15 three-pointers to equal its record at State Farm Center. The Orange and Blue also reached the century mark with 106 points against Austin Peay while hitting 14 treys. The combined 29 threes marked the most made in consecutive games in school history. Illinois closed out the season’s opening month by winning the Las Vegas Invitational. Following another high-scoring win over Indiana State in the semifinal round, the Illini won it with defense by defeating Baylor in the title game, 62-54. Rayvonte Rice was named MVP of the event while Malcolm Hill and Nnanna Egwu were selected to the AllTournament Team. The Illini improved to 21-0, meanwhile, in the month of November under Groce. Fresh off of winning the Las Vegas Invite, the Illini appeared in the national rankings, at No. 24 by the AP and No. 25 by the Coaches poll. The UI suffered its first loss at 15th-ranked Miami in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge, but responded with a 15-point home win over reigning NCAA Tournament participant American. A challenging week followed with games against Villanova in New York City and Oregon at the United Center. Malcolm Hill made his first splash

on the national scene, scoring a game-high 20 points against 7th-ranked Villanova at Madison Square Garden. But it wasn’t enough as the Wildcats pulled away from a 50-all tie with 8:30 remaining to win the Jimmy V Classic game. The Illini then had a five-point second-half lead slip away in falling to Oregon in Chicago. The UI wrapped up non-conference play with three straight wins, highlighted by a thrilling victory over Missouri in the annual Braggin’ Rights game. Illinois had final possession of a game that was tied at 59, setting up the last-second heroics. Rayvonte Rice drained a stepback, fadeaway 3-pointer from the top of the key as time expired, sending the Illini bench rushing onto the court to celebrate a secondstraight victory over the Tigers. Illinois entered Big Ten play with record of 10-3 and had a challenging start to the conference race with four of its first five games on the road. The Illini were unable to hold on to a late lead in the opener in Ann Arbor, falling to Michigan in overtime before also dropping a game at No. 20 Ohio State. Illinois suffered another setback when leading scorer Rayvonte Rice suffered a broken right hand in practice on the eve of its first conference home game. Despite those circumstances, the Illini showed great fight to defeat No. 11 Maryland at State Farm Center behind Malcolm Hill’s careerhigh 28-point performance. With Rice sidelined for nine games, other players began to step up. Following a loss at Nebraska, it was sophomore Kendrick Nunn who took center stage in the win at Northwestern, scoring a careerhigh 25 points. Nunn continued his torrid shooting the following game with 24 points and a career-high six 3-pointers, but it was not enough as the Illini were unable to hold on to a late five-point lead in dropping its first home game of the season to Indiana. A new hero emerged the following contest, as freshman Leron Black registered 15 points and a career-high 13 rebounds in a victory over Purdue, with Black becoming the first Illini in 28 seasons to notch a double-double in his first career start. Nnanna Egwu, meanwhile, set a milestone by becoming Illinois’ all-time leader in blocked shots during the Purdue win. Following a loss at Minnesota, the Illini closed out the month of January by defeating Penn State on Malcolm Hill’s game-winning layup with 4.4 seconds remaining. Hill finished one shy of his career high, earning Big Ten Co-Player of the Week accolades behind his 27-point performance. Illinois then defeated Rutgers at home by double figures, carrying momentum into its next road trip. And the Orange and Blue followed with arguably its most impressive feat of the season in East Lansing, defeating eventual Final Four participant Michigan State on its home court.

Rayvonte Rice drained a stepback, fadeway 3-pointer from the top of the key as time expired to give the Illini a thrilling victory over Missouri in the annual Braggin’ Rights game in St. Louis.

The largest crowd in State Farm Center history of 17,087 watched Illinois extend its winning streak to four in a row with an impressive come-from-

behind victory over Michigan. Trailing by seven with less than three minutes remaining, the Illini scored the last seven points of regulation and then dominated overtime by outscoring the Wolverines in the extra session, 14-2. A trip to 5th-ranked Wisconsin began a three-game skid. But the Illini looked to be back on track, closing out its home schedule with a dominating win over Northwestern followed by a 12-point victory over Nebraska on Senior Night. The Illini finished with a 14-2 record at State Farm Center, its best home mark under Groce. After closing the regular season with a loss at Purdue, the Illini finished 9-9 in Big Ten play, totaling its most conference wins since 2011. Illinois entered the Big Ten Tournament with its sights set on securing an NCAA berth. But after falling in the second round to Michigan, the Illini received a No. 3 seed in the NIT. Due to the renovation schedule at State Farm Center, Illinois drew a road game despite being a higher seed. The season came to a close in the first round at No. 6 seed Alabama.

RECORDS

YEAR-BY-YEAR RECORDS HEAD COACH ELWOOD BROWN (1 YEAR, 6-8, .429)

Leo Hana was put in charge of building the basketball program at Illinois after a women’s program had existed for years. A team, led by its playing captain Roy Riley, beat Champaign High School Jan. 6, two weeks before Hana was able to replace Riley with a “professional” coach. Elwood Brown became Illinois’ first basketball coach Jan. 20, 1906, and proceeded to turn in a commendable coaching job, especially since the squad lost two of its mainstays during the season. “The results of the season were on the whole satisfactory. In the future, there will not be such a lack of material as hampered the coach (Brown) this season,” wrote the 1907 Illio.

HEAD COACH F.L. PINCKNEY (1 YEAR, 1-10, .091)

Pinckney took over the coaching reins for a year in 1907. There was promise for a good season after the solid start the program had made in 1906. More than 100 men tried out for the team. Pinckney found at least three freshmen he thought would help the team and placed them on the varsity squad. However, the Western Conference Committee declared the three ineligible, leaving Pinckney with a much depleted team and Illinois with its worst record ever. The decision to make the freshmen ineligible gave Pinckney the same problem Brown faced the year before - turning out a winning team with limited talent.

HEAD COACH FLETCHER LANE (1 YEAR, 20-6, .769)

Fletcher Lane was Illinois’ third coach, but lasted just one season. His 20-6 team of 1908 benefited from a long Southern trip in which the team beat several YMCA and club teams from Tennessee, Texas, Alabama, and Georgia. The club was billed as a closely-knit group, due in part to the long trip. The players, however, did not appear to appreciate Lane’s coaching style. M.G. Dadant, the 1908 captain wrote, “Handicapped as they were by the lack of any competent coaching, the players went through the season in perfect harmony, each one relinquishing any personal feelings that the team might be better as a whole.”

HEAD COACH H. V. JUUL (2 YEARS, 12-10, .545)

H. V. Juul became the first Illinois basketball coach to stay for more than one year. He also became the first former Fighting Illini player to head the Illinois basketball program and was captain of the 1907 squad. After leading Illinois to a 12-10 record over two years, he departed to become a professional baseball player, enjoying stints with the Chicago Cubs and Cincinnati Reds. Juul was the son of a former Illinois Congressman and, prior to his death in 1928, was a committeeman in the 35th Ward in Chicago as well as campaign director for the Republican Party headquarters at the Morrisson Hotel in Chicago.

T. E. Thompson also had a twoyear career as head basketball coach at Illinois, compiling a 14-14 record. Thompson claimed, at the time, to be the only player in Western Conference history to have played five years of collegiate basketball. He was at Northwestern for one year before playing at Illinois for four additional seasons. In addition to his duties as basketball coach at Illinois in 1911-12, he also served as Athletic Director George Huff’s only assistant in the athletic department, doubling as the school’s general manager of athletics and as ticket manager. After leaving the university, he founded The Thomas Thompson Company in Highland Park, Ill., a manufacturer of enamel products.

After arriving at Illinois from Purdue, Ralph Jones left an impressive legacy behind in Champaign. Besides coaching freshman football and baseball during his tenure at Illinois, he was credited by some with originating the fast break in basketball. After leading the Fighting Illini to one outright crown and the sharing of one other conference championship, Jones left to coach at Lake Forest Academy. In addition, Jones was head coach of the Chicago Bears from 1930-33, where, among other achievements, he was credited with the revival of the T-formation and the use of a man in motion to throw off the defense.

HEAD COACH FRANK WINTERS

HEAD COACH J. CRAIG RUBY

While in his two-year stint as coach of the Illinois basketball team, Frank Winters was faced with having only a handful of veteran players available and was forced into installing an entirely new system of play. His 25-12 record in two years was a testament to the way Winters made negatives into positives. Upon arriving as head coach in the fall of 1920, he inherited a team whose best player, Chuck Carney, had just severely injured his knee in the last football game. Nonetheless, the team went on to an 11-7 record and improved to 14-5 in the 1922 campaign.

J. Craig Ruby was known as one of the great basketball tacticians of his time. He and legendary Kansas coach Phog Allen actively campaigned together for higher baskets to offset the advantage of tall centers. Ruby alone advocated the elimination of the dribble to do away with stalling, and wanted the hoop enlarged to 20 inches in diameter rather than the standard 18. Rubyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second season at Illinois produced a tie for the Big Ten Championship in 1924, but it was not until 1935 that he could lead his team to tie for top conference honors again.

Doug Mills was not only an extremely successful basketball coach at Illinois, but one of the University’s most prolific and long-standing administrators. He began his association with Fighting Illini athletics as a standout in both football and basketball in the late 1920s. Mills became the first Illinois head basketball coach to lead his squad to three Big Ten crowns. Also included in his 11-year coaching tenure was the formation of the legendary “Whiz Kids” team of 1942 and ’43. That team won back-to-back Big Ten crowns. After retiring from the coaching ranks in 1947, Mills retained his position as athletic director until 1966.

HEAD COACH HARRY COMBES (20 YEARS, 316-150, .678)

Harry Combes only had to move across town after accepting the job as head coach at Illinois. Prior to joining the Illini, he had been head coach at Champaign High School where he posted an astounding 254-46 record, including winning the state title in 1946. Once at Illinois, he won three Big Ten titles in his first five seasons (’49, ’51 and ’52). It was also Combes who led the Fighting Illini to three third-place finishes in the NCAA Tournament in the four-year period from 1949-52. The squad won 79 of the 100 games during those four years. Illinois’ 1952 Final Four appearance was the first officially recognized Final Four. Until Lou Henson broke the record in 1990, Combes’ 316 wins were the most wins ever by an Illinois head basketball coach.

HEAD COACH HARV SCHMIDT (7 YEARS, 89-77, .536)

Harv Schmidt, a former all-time great player at Illinois, returned to his alma mater in 1968 after serving as an assistant at New Mexico for three years. Within three years of his arrival, he had brought Illinois back to among the elite programs in the Big Ten. The beginning of his tenure marked what possibly was the high-water mark in fan enthusiasm. Illinois led the nation in attendance in 1970, averaging 16,128 per home contest, as students routinely camped out for tickets outside the newly opened, state-of-the-art Assembly Hall.

HEAD COACH GENE BARTOW (1 YEAR, 8-18, .308)

Brought to Illinois to continue the magical rebuilding jobs he had undertaken at Valparaiso and Memphis State, Gene Bartow was counted on by Athletic Director Cecil Coleman to restore the successful level of play fans had become accustomed to in the past. However, Bartow’s stay in Champaign was shortlived, lasting only one year and producing an 8-18 record. The lure away from Illinois was a strong one for Bartow; he was hired away by UCLA to replace legendary Bruin coach John Wooden.

HEAD COACH LOU HENSON (21 YEARS, 423-224, .654)

Lou Henson, the all-time winningest coach in Illinois basketball history, came to Champaign-Urbana after successful head coaching stints at Hardin-Simmons and New Mexico State Universities. He finished his Illinois career No. 12 on the NCAA all-time victory list with 663 wins. Illinois became a national power under Henson, being selected to the NCAA tournament 11 times. The highlight of the postseason competition came in 1989 when the spectacular Flying Illini team won 31 contests and advanced to the Final Four. Henson’s Illini were also seeded among the top four in their regional for six consecutive years (1984-89) for the secondlongest such streak (next to North Carolina) ever. Illinois finished in the upper division in the Big Ten nine consecutive seasons (1983-91), and had 11 straight years of producing a plus-.500 Big Ten record from 1981 to 1991, the fifth-longest streak of that kind in Big Ten history. Henson led the Illini to a 1984 Big Ten co-championship and No. 1 national ranking in 1989. He coached Illinois to nine straight 20-win seasons from 1983 to 1991 and finished his UI career as the third-winningest coach in Big Ten history with 214 victories.

HEAD COACH LON KRUGER (4 YEARS, 81-48, .628)

Lon Kruger was hired at Illinois on March 21, 1996, succeeding Lou Henson, who retired after 21 seasons. Kruger came to Champaign-Urbana after six seasons at Florida, where he led the Gators to their first Final Four in 1994. His previous head coaching experience included a four-year stint at his alma mater, Kansas State (1987-90), and at Pan American (198386). In 1998, Kruger led the Illini to a share of the Big Ten championship, the school’s first since 1984. He guided Illinois to NCAA Tournament appearances in 1997, 1998 and 2000. Kruger left Illinois to become the head coach of the NBA’s Atlanta Hawks. He is now the head coach at Oklahoma.

HEAD COACH BILL SELF (3 YEARS, 78-24, .765)

Bill Self was hired at Illinois on June 9, 2000, succeeding Lon Kruger, who left to become head coach of the NBA’s Atlanta Hawks. Self came to Champaign-Urbana after three seasons at Tulsa, where he led the Golden Hurricane to an NCAA Elite Eight appearance in 2000. His previous head coaching experience included a four-year stint at Oral Roberts (1994-97). Self became the first Big Ten coach since 1912 to win Big Ten titles in each of his first two seasons. In his first season, Self led the Illini to a 27-8 record and a share of the Big Ten championship. Illinois earned a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament, advancing to the Elite Eight. His second team saw the Illini again share the Big Ten title and advance to the NCAA Sweet 16 with a 26-9 record. In his third season, Illinois won its first Big Ten Tournament title in 2003 and advanced to the Second Round of the NCAA Tournament. He left Illinois to become the head coach at Kansas in April 2003.

YEAR-BY-YEAR RECORDS HEAD COACH JOHN GROCE (3 YEARS, 62-42, .596)

John Groce was hired at Illinois on March 29, 2012. Groce arrived in Champaign after four seasons as head coach at Ohio, where he led the Bobcats to a pair of MAC Tournament titles and a trip to the NCAA Sweet 16 in 2012. In his first season, Groce led the Illini to 23 victories, three wins over Top-10 opponents – highlighted by a buzzer-beating victory over No. 1-ranked Indiana – and an NCAA Tournament Round of 32 appearance. The Illini again won 20 games in Groce’s second season, advancing to the NIT Second Round. The Illini finished .500 in Big Ten play for the first time in four years during Groce’s third season, recording key wins over No. 11 Maryland and at eventual Final Four participant Michigan State.

HONORS AND TRADITION

ORANGE KRUSH “The Orange Krush are super, scintillating and sensational! They are a fantastic sixth man for the Fighting Illini. However, what makes them so unique is their willingness to help people in need and helping out with various charities, such as the V Foundation. Yes, they are special. To put it in ‘Vitalese’ they are awesome, baby, with a capital A!” –– ESPN Analyst Dick Vitale Orange Krush is a student-run cheering section of dedicated Illini students who love basketball, with more than 900 students standing courtside to cheer on the Illinois men’s basketball team. Members arrive hours before the game to get the best seats on the floor on game day, with the line of Orange Krush students waiting for the doors to open extending halfway around State Farm Center. Not only is the Orange Krush considered one of the nation’s premier basketball student sections, it also is a charity foundation as well. Founded in 1998, the Orange Krush Foundation is a University of Illinois studentrun foundation intent on improving the quality of life for the youth and young adults of the Champaign-Urbana and campus community by providing financial support and contributing community service to area not-for-profit organizations. Since the inception of the Orange Krush Foundation, Krush members have raised and donated more than $2.8 million to charity. The Orange Krush Foundation is almost entirely student-run and has donated funds to worthy causes including The V Foundation for Cancer Research, The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, MakeA-Wish Foundation, Coaches vs. Cancer and the Developmental Services Center.In addition, the Orange Krush Foundation also funds scholarship. Krush began its scholarship endeavors by creating the Matthew Heldman Memorial Fund, which honors Matthew Heldman, a point guard for the Illini’s 1998 Big Ten Championship Team, who was tragically killed in a car accident in 1999. The fund, in his name, endows a scholarship for a future Illini basketball player. After five years, the Orange Krush fulfilled the $250,000 commitment, and the fund is fully endowed. During the 2003 season, the Orange Krush Foundation announced the formation of the Rod Cardinal Sports Medicine Fund. This fund pays tribute to Rod Cardinal, who was the University of Illinois men’s basketball athletic trainer for 30 years. The endowment benefits all student trainers at the University of Illinois, which in turn benefits all varsity athletic teams. Krush completed fundraising for this fund in 2006. At the conclusion of the 2005 season, Orange Krush created the Louis and Dawn M. Weber Student Manager Enhancement Fund. Named

in memory of former coach Bruce Weber’s parents, the fund benefits Illinois’ men’s basketball managers. Orange Krush began its newest endeavor in 2009, announcing the Lou Henson Coaching Development Endowment Fund. Named in honor of former Illinois head coach Lou Henson, this $500,000 pledge will be used as a fund to promote the basketball coaching profession within the younger generation, supporting people entering the coaching profession in positions such as graduate assistant, director of basketball operations and video coordinator.

BIG TEN MEDAL OF HONOR

In 1914, the Big Ten Conference endowed a Medal of Honor, to be awarded annually at each institution to the student demonstrating proficiency in scholarship and academics. Since 1982, a female athlete from each institution has also been awarded the Conference Medal of Honor. A total of 18 Fighting Illini basketball players have earned the accolade in the history of the award, including Edward A. Williford, the University of Illinois’ first recipient of the award. There has been one father-son UI Medal of Honor duo, Lee Sentman (track) in 1931 and his son Lee Sentman III (fencing) in 1958. The following is the list of Illinois basketball players who have won the Big Ten Medal of Honor:

UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS ATHLETE OF THE YEAR

The University of Illinois Athlete of the Year was first given in 1940. The award was given annually until it was discontinued in 1973. There were no awards given until 1982, when the Big Ten began a Conference Athlete of the Year, in which each school nominated a male and female athlete. Since 1982, Illinois has recognized a male and female Athlete of the Year. In 1993, the awards were renamed the Dike Eddleman Athlete of the Year awards in honor of the 11-time UI letterman and Olympian. Over the years, 16 basketball players have earned the distinction of Illinois Athlete of the Year.
