With its NCAA second-round victory over UNLV, Illinois defeated a higher-seeded team for the second time in school history and recorded its first Tournament win since 2006. Illinois finished the year ranked 18th in Ken Pomeroy’s rankings and 25th in Jeff Sagarin’s ratings. Weber has earned a solid reputation in the college ranks and with NBA personnel as a coach who stresses player development and fosters an unselfish brand of basketball where the most important facet is team chemistry. Weber strives for an up-tempo motion offense coupled with hard-nosed man-to-man defense, traits that translate well to the NBA game. Illinois has had four players selected in the NBA Draft under Weber, as Deron Williams (No. 3, Utah Jazz)

Head Coach Bruce Weber five and five of its final seven games, culminating with a runner-up finish at the Big Ten Tournament. Weber’s Illini became the first No. 10 seed in the tournament’s history to advance to the title game, winning three games in three days with victories over Penn State, No. 17 Purdue and Minnesota to reach the championship game vs. No. 8 Wisconsin. With a depleted roster that had six different players combine to miss a total of 58 games due to injury during the 2006-07 season, the Illini still advanced to the NCAA Tournament and recorded 23 victories on the year, marking Weber’s fourth-straight season topping the 20-win plateau at Illinois and sixth straight overall. Despite losing three starters and 63 percent of its scoring from the 2004-05 NCAA runner-up squad, Weber directed the 2005-06 Illini to a thirdconsecutive 25-win season, a runner-up finish in the Big Ten, the second round of the NCAA Tournament, and a ranking among the nation’s top 17 teams throughout the entire season. The Illini spent the majority of 2005-06 ranked in the Top 10 and recorded 26 wins on the year to tie the fourthwinningest season in school history. Weber’s second year at Illinois, the 2004-05 season, will be remembered as the greatest in Fighting Illini history, in a remarkable year where Illinois celebrated its centennial season of basketball. The Illini reeled off 29 straight wins to start the year, tying the 12th-best start in NCAA Div. I history and the third-best start in Big Ten history. Illinois also secured its second-straight outright Big Ten championship with a 15-1 league record, as Weber became the first coach in Big Ten history to win consecutive outright titles in his first two seasons. Illinois then added a Big Ten Tournament championship in addition to its regular season title. Illinois won 37 games on the year to tie the NCAA record for victories in a season. The UI made its first Final Four appearance in 16 years and advanced to the NCAA Championship game for the first time in school history, finishing as the national runner-up. The Illini were ranked No. 1 in the nation for 15 straight weeks, including a first-ever No. 1 ranking in the final Associated Press poll. With all that Illinois accomplished during the season, it is no surprise that Weber swept the 2005 National Coach of the Year awards, claiming the following: the Naismith Award, the most prestigious coaching award in college basketball; the Henry Iba Award, presented by the U.S. Basketball Writers Association; and, the Adolph F. Rupp Cup. Weber was also named National Coach of the Year by the NABC, Associated Press, The Sporting News, Basketball Times, CBS/Chevrolet, Victor Awards and Nike Championship Basketball Clinic. It took just one season for Weber to etch his name in the Big Ten and Illinois record books after leading the Fighting Illini to its first outright Big Ten title in 52 years during the 2003-04 season. In leading his young team that featured just one senior on the roster, Weber became just the third coach in the history of the Big Ten to win an outright title in his first season. Illinois had to win 10 straight to end the regular season to claim the championship, including six-straight wins on the road.
Weber has won 296 games as a head coach, the 11th-most victories in ncaa history by a coach after his first 13 seasons.

director of athletics mike thomas Mike Thomas was named the 18th director of athletics at the University of Illinois on Aug. 10, 2011, after spending six years as the director of athletics at the University of Cincinnati. Thomas, 51, led a vibrant and successful Bearcats athletic program from 2005-11. A 26-year veteran of college athletics administration, Thomas is credited with boosting the Bearcat athletic program to national prominence during his six years as athletic director, during which the Bearcasts won five Big East team titles, an NCAA individual championship and produced 12 AllAmericans in a wide range of sports. Cincinnati’s football program won back-to-back Big East titles in 2008 and 2009 – the first in school history – and finished 12-0 in 2009, winning the Sugar Bowl and placing third in the final BCS rankings. Thomas also led a resurgence of the Bearcat men’s basketball program, which is the only Division I team to improve its win total over each of the last five seasons. The Bearcats finished 26-9 in 2010-11, returning to the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2004-05. From 2009-11, UC Athletics produced one NCAA individual champion, four Big East team titles, 12 All-Americans, and 72 All-Big East honorees. Thomas expanded and redefined academic services and the NCAA CHAMPS/ Life Skills program, resulting in UC being one of the most recognized schools in the 16-member Big East for academic success and earning multiple Big East Academic Excellence Awards. During Thomas’ tenure, the UC athletic program was one of the most recognized schools for academic success in the 16-team Big East, including a league-best five team academic excellence awards in 2009-10. From 2007-11, UC had a graduation rate of 70 percent among student-athletes, 10 percent higher than the overall student body. Bearcat student-athletes also emerged as community leaders, increasing community service hours from 1,000 annually to more than 5,500. Under his leadership, UC also nearly tripled its donor base, and raised $70 million for the athletic program. He expanded athletic facilities, including securing private funding for a new athletic center that includes new practice fields for football and other athletic teams. Thomas increased external funding for the UC athletic department budget by $7 million, a 20 percent increase, while simultaneously reducing the annual operating deficit by more than ATHLETIC DIRECTOR HISTORY $6 million. 1892-94 Edward K.

In terms of donor development, membership in UCATS increased by almost 300 percent during Thomas’ tenure and the department raised $70 million since his arrival. Fundraising increases were experienced in the annual fund, capital projects, endowments and sports-specific giving. Under Thomas, UC Athletics Development instituted the Director’s Society for UC Athletics, soliciting donors giving more than $50,000 or more annually, and increased George Smith Society membership ($13,500 or more annually) levels by 63
percent. 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 more than $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 athletic director at the University of Virginia before bringing that model to Akron. 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. While at Akron, support services and facilities for academic support for studentathletes were significantly improved, resulting in jumps in grade point averages and graduation rates of UA student-athletes. During his Akron tenure, Thomas was a member of the MAC Infractions Committee and chaired the Women’s Basketball Committee. 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. Thomas coordinated more than $155 million in facility construction and renovation, including $25 million in capital improvements at Akron, including 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 2009. 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.

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 compliance, merchandising, and facilities. He began his athletic administration career at the University of Iowa as an administrative and operations intern. Thomas received his B.S. degree in business administration from Colorado State University in 1983, and his M.S. degree in athletic administration from Western Illinois University in 1986.

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.

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
preseason notes New Roles, New Faces and New Outlook in 2011-12 Illinois will have quite a different look heading into the upcoming college basketball season. The Illini must replace four starters and five of its top seven scorers from last season. In fact, Illinois returns just 31 percent of its points, 21.3 percent of its rebounds and 33.5 percent of its minutes played from the 201011 campaign. Illinois returns six scholarship players and eight letterwinners overall. Head Coach Bruce Weber also welcomes seven new players to the mix in what is one of the largest groups of newcomers he’s had in his 33 years coaching. Returning for the Illini The most experienced Illini is junior D.J. Richardson, a two-year starter at shooting guard who averaged 8.4 points last season and is a career 39 percent 3-point shooter. Like Richardson, fellow junior Brandon Paul also has been a regular in the UI rotation. Paul started 24 games on the wing over his first two seasons and is Illinois’ leading returning scorer after averaging 9.0 points last year. The remaining Illini returnees all will have an opportunity to seize expanded roles this year. Junior Tyler Griffey is a skilled forward who has range behind the arc, and sophomore center Meyers Leonard has the natural athletic and physical talent to become a force in the paint. Sophomores Crandall Head and Joseph Bertrand give the Illini a boost of athleticism on the perimeter as combo guards who excel in the open court and have shown the ability to be strong defenders. Walk-on guards Jean Selus and Kevin Berardini also return for their second season with the Orange & Blue. Bradley Transfer Bolsters Point Guard Spot Illinois must replace the offensive production of four-year starting point guard Demetri McCamey, who left Champaign as one of only two players in Big Ten history to record career totals of 1,700 points and 700 assists. Fifth-year senior Sam Maniscalco will be looked upon to step in and help provide experience and leadership from the point guard position. Maniscalco graduated from Bradley University in May. He is eligible to play immediately for the Illini after receiving a transfer year of residence waiver from the NCAA. Maniscalco – who also was granted a medical hardship waiver following ankle surgery last season – was a second-team All-Missouri Valley selection as a junior in 2010 after averaging 13.1 points and 3.4 assists. He played in 111 career games at Bradley, totaling 1,210 points and 355 assists. Illini Staff Lands Another Star Recruiting Class For the third straight season, Illinois adds a top-15 ranked recruiting class to its roster. Six true freshmen
join the squad this season: guard Tracy Abrams, wings Myke Henry and Devin Langford, and frontcourt players Nnanna Egwu, Mike Shaw and Ibby Djimde. Four of the freshmen – Chicagoans Abrams, Egwu, Henry and Shaw – were all Top 100 recruits according to various recruiting services. The 2011 recruiting class is ranked 11th nationally by both Rivals.com and ESPN and No. 13 by Scout.com. Abrams earned all-state accolades after averaging 17.7 points, 6.2 rebounds and 4.6 assists last season at Mount Carmel High School. Egwu also earned all-state honors after averaging 16 points, 10 rebounds and five blocks last year at St. Ignatius Prep. Henry is an explosive scorer who averaged 25 points and 11 rebounds last season at Orr Academy, earning all-state recognition. Shaw also was an all-state pick who averaged 13 points and 7.5 rebounds last year and finished his career as the all-time leading scorer at De La Salle Institute. Langford hails from Huntsville, Ala., and averaged 21 points, 14 rebounds and seven assists last season, leading Lee High School to a state runner-up finish after winning state during his junior season. Djimde attended high school for two years in the United States after arriving from Bamako, Mali. He spent his senior year at Huntington Prep in West Virginia, averaging 10 points and eight rebounds. Another 20-Win Season for the Illini Illinois tallied 20 victories last season, recording the program’s 11th 20-win season in the last 12 years and 29th all-time, as well as the seventh 20-win season in eight years under Bruce Weber. Lock Down “D” Illinois has led the Big Ten in field goal percentage defense during conference play in each of the last three years. Illini league opponents shot 39.6 percent last season after shooting 39 percent in 2010 and 39.4 percent in 2009. Illinois, meanwhile, has topped the Big Ten in 3-point field goal percentage defense during league play twice in the last three seasons. Illini conference opponents shot 29.9 percent from behind the arc last year. In 2009, UI league opponents also shot 29.9 percent from 3-point land. Home Sweet Home Illinois went 14-2 at the Assembly Hall last season, recording the team’s best homecourt record in five years. The last time the Illini had fewer than two home losses was in 2006, the last of a seven-year run when the Illini either went undefeated or lost just one home game per season.

The Fighting Illini
italy trip recap The Fighting Illini got an early start on the 2011-12 season by participating in an international tour of Italy. The Aug. 10-20 trip featured three days in Rome, two in Florence, two in Venice and two in Como. The following is a look at how the Illini performed in Italy… Aug. 13 – Illinois 78, Roma Select 68 Illinois opened its Italy Tour with a 10-point win over Roma Select. Following 21 hours of travel and two days of sightseeing, the Illini were rusty early but used a third-quarter surge where they doubled up the hosts in the scoring column to pull away. Eleven UI players logged at least 13 minutes with no one playing more than 21. Illinois’ depth and constant rotation of players eventually took its toll. The Illini grabbed 13 steals, forced 22 turnovers and held a 43-to-22 advantage on the boards. Joseph Bertrand led the Illini in scoring, totaling 14 points on 6-of-7 shooting. He also had five assists to go along with four boards. Tyler Griffey scored in double figures with 11 and was the UI’s top rebounder, grabbing eight boards. Nnanna Egwu and Tracy Abrams added eight points each. Aug. 16 – New Zealand 85, Illinois 84 (OT) Illinois fell by one point in overtime to the New Zealand National Team. In an extremely competitive contest that featured 22 lead changes and 13 ties, New Zealand eventually prevailed after scoring on an offensive rebound with 2.8 seconds left in OT. Prior to that play, Brandon Paul had put the Illini in position to claim victory when he made a driving bank shot in traffic with 9.7 seconds remaining. Paul’s basket capped a rally that brought the Illini back from a 4-point deficit with less than two minutes remaining. The Illini had made a similar comeback at the end of regulation. Trailing 73-69 with 45 seconds left, Illinois forced the extra period after scoring on each of its last two possessions and forcing a pair of turnovers. Sam Maniscalco hit two free throws with :28 left to bring the Illini within two, then the UI defense forced a 5-second call on New Zealand’s inbounds pass to regain possession. Paul then drove to the basket and drew a foul, making both free throws to tie it at 73 with 18 seconds left. New Zealand tried to hold for the last shot but Meyers Leonard made a great defensive play and recorded a steal just before time expired.
The intensity and physical play was more reminiscent of a postseason showdown in March than an exhibition game in August. The Fighting Illini accumulated 21 steals and forced 29 turnovers. Paul led the Illini with 18 points. He made just four field goals but got to the free throw line repeatedly, connecting on 9-of13 from the stripe. Maniscalco shot 5-of-8 from the field and tallied 14 points, while Tyler Griffey also reached double figures, adding 13 points. Aug. 17 – Illinois 47, West Virginia 26 Illinois 26, Aviano Airmen 12 Illinois defeated West Virginia by 21 points in an exhibition scrimmage held in front of approximately 500 military personnel and their families at the Aviano Air Base. The 20-minute contest was part of a special opportunity that also saw the Illini and Mountaineers hold a youth clinic for children of the Airmen and had each team participate in a 10-minute scrimmage against the Aviano varsity unit. The three squads also held a dunk contest for the crowd with Illinois’ Joseph Bertrand claiming the victory. Illinois scored the first seven points vs. West Virginia and opened up a double-digit lead three minutes into the scrimmage. The Illini finished the half like they started, scoring the final seven points on breakaway dunks by Meyers Leonard and D.J. Richardson and a 3-pointer by Sam Maniscalco to take a 27-8 lead into intermission. The Illini pushed the margin to as many as 26 in the second half before the Mountaineers tallied the final five points. Illinois shot 62.5 percent, hitting 20-of-32 from the field and 5-of-8 from 3-point range. The Illini tallied 15 assists on 20 baskets and forced 15 Mountaineer turnovers. Richardson led the Illini with 11 points and made all five of his shots. Myke Henry scored seven on 3-of-5 shooting while Maniscalco added six points on a pair of 3-pointers and had a game-high four assists. Aug. 18 – Illinois 131, Castellanza Select 65 The Illini dominated every facet of the game in cruising to a 66-point victory over Castellanza Select. Illinois continued its hot shooting, making nearly 61 percent from the field (53-87), which included 11-of-20 accuracy from 3-point range. Illinois
held a 41-26 rebounding advantage and continued its pressure defense, accumulating 24 steals while forcing Castellanza into a total of 36 turnovers. Twelve Illini players logged at least 10 minutes as Coach Weber continued to sub frequently, often five players at a time. That resulted in balanced scoring with all 12 players entering the scoring column, including seven in double figures. Joseph Bertrand was the top UI scorer once again. He made 8-of-12 shots, including a pair of 3-pointers, for a game-high 18 points. Bertrand also tallied four steals. Tyler Griffey was right behind Bertrand, totaling 17 points on a perfect 4-of-4 shooting in addition to eight free throws. Brandon Paul had another strong game, registering 15 points and connecting on all three of his 3-point attempts. Paul also had a game-high eight assists. Aug. 19 – Illinois 89, Fulgor Omegna 85 (OT) Illinois closed out its trip with a come-from-behind overtime victory over Fulgor Omegna. The teams exchanged leads 12 times and were tied on another 10 occasions. Illinois trailed by four late in regulation but scored the last four points on a pair of offensive rebound dunks – first by Meyers Leonard with 20 seconds left, followed by Crandall Head with 13 seconds remaining – to tie the game at 78 and force overtime. Brandon Paul made a jumper to break an 81-all tie midway through the extra period, and the Illini scored three straight points at the line following a free throw by Omegna to make the score 86-82 with 46 seconds left. Head then hit the shot of the game, nailing a 3-pointer from 27 feet as the shot clock expired to put the Illini ahead by seven points with only seconds left, clinching the victory. Paul was the UI’s top scorer for the second time on the trip, registering 19 points. He also had a game-high four steals. Tyler Griffey reached double figures for the fourth time, scoring 15 points. Griffey had a double-double against Omegna, grabbing a game-high 10 boards, the highest rebounding total by a UI player on the trip. A total of four Illini scored in double figures on the evening, with Head and freshman Tracy Abrams adding 11 points each.

Led by seniors Demetri McCamey, Mike Davis and Mike Tisdale, the Illini finished the year in fourth place in a loaded Big Ten race and 20-14 overall, marking the seventh 20-win season under eighth-year head coach Bruce Weber. The Illini began the year at No. 13 in the polls and started red-hot, winning 10 of its first 11 games with the only loss coming to a Texas team that would later reach as high as No. 3 nationally. Illinois opened with three straight home victories before heading to New York’s Madison Square Garden for the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic. Illinois battled Texas wire to wire, led by McCamey’s 22 points. But the Longhorns eventually prevailed in overtime. The Illini bounced back the next day, defeating Maryland in the consolation game as McCamey scored 20 to earn a spot on the All-Tournament team. Two more wins followed, setting up the anticipated showdown with North Carolina in the annual ACC/ Big Ten Challenge. The Illini rolled to a 79-67 victory at the Assembly Hall behind Davis’ double-double (20 points, 10 rebounds). The momentum carried over to Seattle, where Illinois hit 12 three-pointers and all five starters scored in double figures in a 73-61 win over Gonzaga. Illinois added two more home victories to extend its winning streak to seven games and vault to No. 12 in the rankings. Following semester exams, Illinois saw its streak come to an end with an upset loss to UIC at the United Center. The Illini were then unable to maintain a late lead against Missouri, falling to the Tigers in the annual Braggin’ Rights to finish the nonconference with a 10-3 record. Illinois came out of the gate strong in Big Ten play, winning each of its first three games. In the conference opener at Iowa, the Orange and Blue set a school record by shooting 72.2 percent from 3-point range, hitting 13-of-18 from behind the arc. Illinois continued its hot shooting in a home victory over Wisconsin, then took it to another level in a blowout win over Northwestern. The Illini made 31-of-44 shots against the Wildcats, with the 70.5 percent accuracy setting school and Assembly Hall field goal percentage records. The 16th-ranked Illini stumbled after the strong start, dropping four of its next five games. The setbacks were

Brandon Paul scored 18 points to lead No. 13 Illinois to a season-opening 79-65 win over UC Irvine in the first round of the 2K Sports Classic. All of Paul’s points came on 3-pointers and he was 6 for 8 from the field with all of his shots from beyond the arc. Fifteen of his points came in the first 20 minutes as Illinois took a 42-18 lead. “One guy shot us out of it by himself,” astonished firstyear UC-Irvine coach Russell Turner said. “Credit to him.” While Paul and the Illini were finding their shooting stroke, UC Irvine hit just six of its 26 first-half shots (23.1 percent). The Anteaters didn’t score during one 5-minute-plus stretch, coming up dry on nine straight possessions in falling behind 34-10. While Illini coach Bruce Weber was impressed with Paul’s offense, that first-half defense was what he wanted to talk about. “We were intimidating defensively in the first half,” Weber said. “We were all over the place.” Illinois’ Demetri McCamey had 13 points and eight assists while Mike Tisdale scored 12 and Mike Davis added 11. UC Irvine opened the second half with more offensive life and outscored the Illini 47-37 over the final 20 minutes. Moore led the Anteaters with 18 points, while Patrick Rembert added 12 and Eric Wise and Pavol Losonsky had 11 each.
Senior guard Demetri McCamey scored 13 points to lead No. 13 Illinois to an 84-45 victory over Toledo in the second round of the 2K Sports Classic. McCamey was 3 for 4 from beyond the arc and had 11 points in the first half as the Illini opened a 47-18 lead. He played only 18 minutes and finished with seven assists. Mike Davis added 12 points and six rebounds for Illinois. Delino Dear scored 11 points for the Rockets. D.J Richardson’s 3-pointer capped Illinois’ 7-0 run to open the game. Illinois made its first five 3-point attempts. McCamey had two 3s and Richardson and Bill Cole had one each as the Illini went up 20-5 with 15:36 to play in the first half. The Illini were 20 for 33 (60.6 percent) in the first half, including going 5 for 11 from behind the arc (45.5 percent). McCamey finished the first half with 11 points and six assists. The Illini opened the second ahlf with an 8-2 run to take a 55-20 lead. Mike Tisdale added 10 points for the Illinois, who sat its starters for most of second half.
Demetri McCamey had 18 points and nine assists and D.J. Richardson added 16 points as No. 13 Illinois beat Bruce Weber’s former team - Southern Illinois - 85-63. The Illini led 41-30 at halftime and opened the second half with a 19-4 run to pull away. Richardson finished 4 for 5 from 3-point range. Carlton Fay led Southern Illinois with 13 points and five rebounds. Richardson hit a 3-pointer - one of four he made in the first half - just 31 seconds into the game to put the Illini on top. Fay quickly answered with a jumper - the first of six straight points he scored for the Salukis. Southern Illinois cut their deficit to one with 13:56 to play after Mykel Cleveland scored on a fast break layup. Richardson then hit his second 3-pointer to extend Illinois’ lead to 18-14. Troy Long’s 3-pointer with 11:51 to play in the first half cut Illinois’ lead to 22-20. It stayed that way until McCamey was fouled on a drive to the basket with 8:54 to play. McCamey made the layup and the free throw to put Illinois up by five. A double team by Meyers Leonard and Richardson forced a Saluki turnover, and the Illini capitalized with a jumper by Mike Davis that pushed Illinois’ lead to 27-20 with 8:15 to play. With 4:51 remaining in the first half, Richardson hit his fourth 3-pointer to put Illinois up by 10, but Southern Illinois’ Long answered immediately with another 3-pointer. McCamey opened the second half with a 3 that started Illinois’ 19-4 run and the Illini pulled away taking a 71-42 lead with 8:22 remaining in the game.

Texas sophomore Jordan Hamilton had 25 points and freshman Tristan Thompson had 20 points on 8-of-11 shooting and five blocks for Texas in the semifinals of the 2K Sports Classic. Senior Gary Johnson added 16 points, four in the Longhorns’ 8-0 run to start the overtime of their 90-84 victory over No. 13 Illinois. Demetri McCamey had 22 points to lead Illinois, which shot 38.4 percent from the field, including going 10 for 29 from 3-point range. Texas was just 3 for 12 from beyond the arc but the Longhorns were 25 of 44 from the free throw line while the Illini were 18 of 28. Cory Joseph hit a jumper with 24.6 seconds to play to give Texas a 75-73 lead. It was the Longhorns’ first field goal since the 7:55 mark. They were able to stay close and even take a brief lead late by going 8 for 10 from the free throw line over the last eight minutes of regulation. Jereme Richmond scored on a drive with 11.2 seconds left to tie it at 75 and Joseph missed a jumper at the regulation buzzer. The extra five minutes went all Texas’ way at the start as the Longhorns took advantage of a turnover and two missed shots by the Illini. Illinois got to 87-84 with 1:06 left on a 3-pointer by Bill Cole but the Longhorns made two of four free throws over the final 39 seconds to stay in front. Texas started the second half the same way it did the overtime. The Longhorns broke from a 45-all tie with a 9-0 run with Johnson scoring six of the points. Illinois missed its first eight shots of the second half. The Illini were able to get back in the game with a 7-0 run that was capped by a 3-pointer by D.J. Richardson with 12:22 to play.
The Illini rebounded from an overtime semifinal loss to Texas with an 80-76 victory over Maryland in the third-place game of the 2K Sports Classic. Demetri McCamey, D.J. Richardson and Tyler Griffey all hit three 3-pointers and the Illini, who finished 10 for 19 from behind the arc. McCamey finished with 20 points and seven assists, while Richardson and Griffey both had nine points, all on 3-pointers. Griffey’s 3s all came in a run spanning halftime that saw the Illini hit eight 3s in 10 attempts as they turned a 40-36 lead into a 56-47 advantage with 12:47 to play. Illinois went up by as many as 12 points - 69-57 with 5:35 left. But Maryland was able to get as close as 78-76 with 7.3 seconds left on a 3 by Terrell Stoglin. The Illini missed four straight free throws and five of eight from the 1:13 mark until Brandon Paul made two with 6.4 seconds left to seal the win. Stoglin had 17 points for Maryland, while Jordan Williams had 15 points and 13 rebounds, getting all his points and 11 rebounds in the second half. Illinois, which came into the game shooting 34.5 percent from 3-point range, shot 52.6 percent from behind the arc while the Terrapins were 5 of 18 (27.8 percent).
D.J. Richardson scored 16 points to lead No. 19 Illinois past Yale 73-47. Demetri McCamey added 11 for the Illini and Mike Tisdale had 10 points and a game-high 13 rebounds. Illinois led 30-17 at the half, but needed Richardson’s second-half shooting to put the Bulldogs away. Richardson was 6 for 8 from the field and 3 for 4 from the 3-point line. Yale was 4 for 20 from the 3-point line. Still, the Bulldogs closed within 40-31 with 15 minutes to play when Austin Morgan hit a 3-pointer. But the Illini quickly widened the gap over their next three possessions, turning a dunk by Mike Davis and a 3-pointer and a short jumper by D.J. Richardson to a 47-31 lead with 13:41 to play. Yale got no closer. The Illini tightened their defense over the final 15 minutes. That included holding Yale to five points over a seven-minute span as Illinois stretched the lead to 22 points at 58-36. The Bulldogs shot 27 percent for the game. The Illini closed the first half with an 8-2 run--keyed by Meyers Leonard’s dunk with 51 seconds to play. Both teams struggled in the first half. Illinois was 12 for 32 from the field. Yale was 6 for 25. While Illinois’ offense was flat in the first half, at least part of the problem was Yale’s defense. Greg Mangano led Yale with 14 points. Morgan added 12.

Mike Tisdale had 18 points and seven rebounds and No. 19 Illinois beat Western Michigan 78-63. Brandon Paul added 14 points and Demetri McCamey had eight points and 10 assists for the Illini, who have won three straight since losing to Texas in the semifinals of the 2K Sports Classic at New York’s Madison Square Garden. Matt Stainbrook led Western Michigan with 16 points and Nate Hutcheson contributed 15. Mike Douglas had nine points and seven assists. Western Michigan got the contest’s first bucket on Flenard Whitfield’s tap-in with 19:37 left, but Illinois scored the next nine points on Mike Davis’s jumper and dunk, Paul’s 3-pointer and D.J. Richardson’s jumper. Demetrius Ward’s 3-point shot pulled the Broncos within 11-7 with 16:16 left, but that was as close as Western Michigan got the rest of the game. Tisdale led Illinois with 10 first-half points, while Davis and Paul each contributed eight. Stainbrook led Western Michigan with 10 at the break. Illinois led 49-24 at halftime, its biggest lead of the game. Hutcheson’s 3-pointer with 16:03 left brought the Broncos within 53-36, but Tisdale’s tap-in with 7:59 left put Illinois ahead by 20 again at 70-50.
If Illinois’ game against North Carolina was a midterm exam, coach Bruce Weber wasn’t ready to give his team an “A” for the full 40 minutes. “Probably a B-plus,” he allowed. But the 20th-ranked Illini’s 79-67 victory over the Tar Heels was more impressive in the eyes of North Carolina coach Roy Williams, and one Illinois player, guard Demetri McCamey, in particular. “Demetri was something else,” Williams said. “He never looked like he felt pressure or anything.” McCamey finished with 17 points, second to teammate Mike Davis’ 20. But he had eight assists in a game where five Illini scored in double figures, and keyed a tough perimeter defense for Illinois that put the Tar Heels on their heels early and kept them there. Mike Tisdale had 14 points for Illinois, while Jereme Richmond added 12 and D.J. Richardson 11. North Carolina center Tyler Zeller picked up three early fouls and spent more than 9 minutes of the first half on the bench while the Illini built a 37-30 halftime lead. John Henson led the Tar Heels with 16 points while Zeller finished with 10. Illinois opened the second half with a dunk by Davis, a short basket by Richmond and two points from Tisdale to stretch what had been a seven-point halftime lead to 43-32 less than 2 minutes into the second half. A 3-pointer by Bill Cole upped Illinois’ lead to 56-43 with 13:19 to play. Freshman center Meyers Leonard followed that less than a minute later with a dunk off a nice dribble into the lane and feed from Richardson that stretched Illinois’ lead to 58-43.
No. 20 Illinois used a big second-half run fueled by 3-pointers to blow past Gonzaga, 73-61. D.J. Richardson and Mike Tisdale each scored 15 points, and Demetri McCamey had 11 points and seven assists for the Illini. “When the game is going on you don’t realize it, but they were pretty open 3s,” said Weber, whose team scored 10 of its first 11 baskets from beyond the arc in the second half. “We have good shooters if we pick and choose when we shoot them - if they’re open shots.” Tisdale started the surge with a pair of 3-pointers that broke open a 34-28 game, and the Illini proceeded to use a 14-3 run to take a 62-44 advantage. Illinois finished 52 percent from beyond the arc for the game. The Illini defense also was able to frustrate the Gonzaga offense, holding Stephen Gray to just two points until midway through the second half. Robert Sacre provided the only scoring threat for the Bulldogs during the Illini’s big second-half run. He scored nine straight points to help Gonzaga stay in the game, and finished with 15 points and 10 rebounds.. Mike Davis scored in the lane to break a streak of six straight 3-pointers and give the Illini a 67-47 edge. Gonzaga answered with a 10-0 run, but Richardson scored on a floater in the lane and Illinois was able to grind out the remaining minutes for the victory. Brandon Paul scored 12 points and Davis added 10 for Illinois.

From his first shot, Demetri McCamey knew something was wrong. The ball just didn’t feel right. Turns out the ball was an undersized women’s ball, something the officials finally fixed after seven minutes of No. 16 Illinois’ 74-63 victory over Oakland. The first seven-plus minutes were played with the size 6 ball. McCamey noticed the odd ball early but couldn’t convince the officials. Illini center Mike Tisdale finally did. Play quickly restarted with a size 7 men’s ball - about an inch larger and 2 ounces heavier - but neither team’s shooting immediately improved. McCamey and his teammates turned to defense to wipe out an early deficit. Oakland (5-4) led the Illini (9-1) 28-24 at halftime. Oakland was 12 of 33 in the first half, but most of its scoring came courtesy of nine offensive rebounds and nine first-half points from Hamilton. The Grizzlies were 3 of 15 from behind the 3-point line. As sluggish as Oakland was, the Illini were worse. Illinois was 10 of 32 in the first half and just 1 of 8 from 3-point range, and those numbers improved drastically after the first 9 minutes. The Illini had just 11 points with 9:23 to play and were down by nine. Suddenly they found their jump shot -all but absent at that point - and closed the gap on long-range baskets by Tisdale, Mike Davis and two by Richardson.
The Illini led by 19 at halftime and at least 10 during the whole second half, but their 86-76 win in front of a crowd kept small by snowy, windy weather was too close for Weber’s comfort. The Illini, playing in front of 5,100 fans in an arena that holds more than 16,600, knew it, too. Five Illini were in double figures, led by 14 points each from Mike Tisdale and D.J. Richardson. But five Bears were in double figures, too. And the 76 points scored by Northern Colorado (4-4) were more than Illinois had given up since the first game of its win streak, against Maryland. Bears coach B.J. Hill had his own frustrations - primarily 24 turnovers. The Bears trailed 45-26 at halftime but outscored Illinois 50-41 after the intermission. Cole scored 12 points for Illinois and McCamey had 11 nine in the second half after a quiet first 20 minutes. Kingman led the Bears with 21 points. Lloyd Elliot added 16, while Beitzel had 13, Emmanuel Addo 12 and Kaba 10.
Darrin Williams scored five points in the final 1:10 and Illinois-Chicago rallied from an eight-point second-half deficit to stun No. 12 Illinois 57-54, ending the Illini’s sevengame winning streak. After a sluggish start, Illinois used a 12-0 run to build a 49-41 lead with 7:30 to go and appeared in control. But the Flames, who led for a good portion of the game, weren’t about to go away in the United Center. The Illini shot 32.7 percent, struggling against UIC’s 1-3-1 zone. Demetri McCamey led Illinois with 16 points. After UIC’s Brad Birton went high to block a shot by Illinois’ Brandon Paul, the 6-foot-9, 282-pound Williams grabbed an offensive rebound at the other end, was fouled and made both free throws to put UIC up 53-52. McCamey was fouled and made both ends of a 1-and-1 to give the Illini a 54-53 lead with 52.2 seconds remaining. After Kreps’ layup rolled off the rim, Williams tipped it in and the Flames were back up 55-54 with 23 seconds to go. Illinois then missed three straight shots, one a dunk follow attempt by Paul, who seconds later was hurt and had to be helped off the court with a sprained ankle. Illinois’ Mike Tisdale was called for his fifth foul with 3.5 seconds left and Williams went back to the line and hit the first free throw but missed the second as UIC went up 56-54 with 3.2 seconds to go. After two timeouts, McCamey stepped on the line near midcourt as he caught an inbounds pass, giving the ball back to the Flames. Kreps was fouled and missed the first free throw and made the second for a 57-54 lead. Illinois then threw the ball out of bounds on its next inbounds attempt and UIC had its monumental upset as players raced on the court and mobbed one another.

Laurence Bowers made a four-point play with a layup and two free throws after an intentional foul with 40 seconds to go, fueling a huge final minute for No. 9 Missouri in a 75-64 victory over No. 21 Illinois. Marcus Denmon had 15 points and Bowers added 13 for the Tigers, who won the Braggin’ Rights game for the second straight year after dropping the previous nine. Justin Safford added 11 points. Mike Davis had 17 points for Illinois, which has dropped two straight after getting upset by Illinois-Chicago on Saturday. Mike Tisdale, who committed the intentional foul when he pushed Bowers from behind, had 13 rebounds and nine points. The Tigers scored eight points in a 9-second span of the final minute, going up by nine, and outscored Illinois 21-7 over the final 3:16.
Demetri McCamey led five players in double figures with 20 points and No. 23 Illinois beat host Iowa 87-77 in its Big Ten opener. D.J. Richardson added 17 for the Illini, who hit 11 of their first 13 tries from 3-point range and shot 67 percent from the floor to hold off the rebuilding Hawkeyes. The Illini hit their first seven 3s, then pushed a 12-point lead to 58-39 less than two minutes into the second half. Iowa rallied to get within 65-59, but McCamey sandwiched a key jumper around a pair of 3s to put the Illini ahead 70-59 with 7:01 left. Matt Gatens had a game-high 21 points to lead Iowa, which dropped its league opener for the sixth time in seven years. Against the Hawkeyes, the Illini were unstoppable from beyond the arc - finishing an astounding 13-of-18. Richardson opened the second half with yet another 3, and McCamey and Jereme Richmond toyed with Iowa’s defense for a fastbreak layup that put the Illini up by 19 with 18:10 left. Iowa coach Fran McCaffery, making his Big Ten debut, called a quick timeout and the Hawkeyes responded with a 10-0 run to get back within 58-49. Richmond’s intentional foul with 10:46 left put Iowa in position to get as close as three, but the Hawkeyes missed two free throws and threw the ball away. McCamey, who also had 10 assists, made them pay with a 3 from the wing put Illinois ahead 65-54. Mike Davis had 15 points to crack 1,000 for his career for Illinois, which has won five straight over the Hawkeyes for the first time since 1965.
Illinois guard Demetri McCamey scored 21 points, including making 11 of his 15 free throw attempts. He had 12 points over the game’s final 7 minutes that slowly buried the Badgers. Mike Davis and another senior, Bill Cole, added 11 points each for the Illini. Davis had 14 rebounds to help them outrebound Wisconsin 34-25. The Illini outshot the Badgers 66.7 percent to 42.9, and held Wisconsin to 28 percent shooting in the second half. Yet Wisconsin hung around, and pulled within 54-49 with 6:34 to play on a 3-pointer by Tim Jarmusz. Jordan Taylor and Jon Leuer led Wisconsin with 19 points each, and both nailed key shots late. That left it to McCamey to methodically finish off the game. He hit a 3 with 5:15 to play, pulling up at the line and firing as he led the Illini up the court, never looking for a passing option before he drained the shot that made it 59-49. After a 3-pointer by Taylor, Mccamey answered with another one, dribbling out the final seconds on the shot clock before launching the ball and finding the net for a 63-52 lead with 2:58 to play. McCamey, who had seven assists, said he never intended to take over the game’s final minutes; it just happened.

Weber’s message to a team he says doesn’t handle success well apparently sunk in, and Northwestern paid the price, falling hard to No. 20 Illinois 88-63. Demetri McCamey led the Illini with 14 points, and was one of six Illinois players to score in double figures. Mike Tisdale had 13, Davis 12, Meyers Leonard and Jereme Richmond 11 each and D.J. Richardson 10. The Illini led by 25 at the half, 49-24, and several times pushed their edge past 30 in the final 20 minutes. They hit 18 of their 22 first-half shots - 81.8 percent - and finished at 70.5 percent. Illinois led 47-24 at the half and scored its 65th point the Wildcats had been giving up 65.8 a game - less than 7 minutes into the second half. Northwestern’s problems were almost too many to count. Illinois outrebounded the Wildcats 40-17, and, at one point, had an 11-1 edge - an advantage that, with just under 8 minutes to play in the first half had the Illini up 33-17. John Shurna, the Wildcats’ leading scorer at 21.3 a game and the country’s most accurate 3-point shooter, didn’t take a shot in the first 6 1/2 minutes and didn’t make one until almost 9 minutes had passed. Struggling with an ankle sprain, he spent most of the second half on the bench and finished with seven points. The Wildcats shot just 34.3 percent overall. McCamey and Davis finished with seven assists each. Cobb led Northwestern with 18 points, and Michael Thompson had 15.
Andrew Jones converted an offensive rebound with 1 second left and Talor Battle scored 26 points to lead Penn State past No. 16 Illinois 57-55 for its second straight upset of a ranked team. Talor Battle had 26 points and it was the first time Penn State beat ranked foes in consecutive games since the 1954 NCAA tournament. The Nittany Lions beat then-No. 18 Michigan State 66-62 on Saturday. Illinois had 15 turnovers and got outrebounded 33-28, the second straight game Penn State has had the edge in both categories. After a layup by Illinois’ Bill Cole tied the game with 20 seconds left, go-to guy Battle set up for the last shot. His off-balance attempt off a drive through the lane bounced off the rim and into the hands of Jones, the 6-foot-10 center who dunked in the go-ahead basket. Illinois’ desperation heave downcourt was intercepted by Jones, and the blue-and-white faithful rushed the court despite repeated pleas from the public address announcer not to. Mike Tisdale had 16 points and a career-high 14 rebounds for Illinois, which had erased a 12-point first-half deficit. Demetri McCamey added 10 points. Flying around the court for one of its best defensive efforts of the season, Penn State took advantage of nine first-half turnovers by Illinois to jump out to a double-digit lead. Jeff Brooks’ 3 in the corner off Tim Frazier’s drive-and-dish made it 25-13 with 5:58 left. After a cold-shooting start, the Illini closed with a 12-0 run and found success attacking the basket Mike Davis’ inside bucket just before the first-half buzzer tying the game at 25 before the seesaw second half. Cole and Davis both finished with eight points for Illinois, which shot 41 percent for the game after opening Big Ten play hitting 64 percent from the field.
Wisconsin’s Keaton Nankivil nailed three 3-pointers in the second half of No. 20 Wisconsin’s 76-66 victory over No. 16 Illinois. Leuer scored 26 points and hit a critical 3-pointer down the stretch and Taylor added 22 for the Badgers, who rebounded from an overtime loss at Michigan State. Demetri McCamey scored 23 - going 17 for 21 from the free throw line - for the Illini. Taylor was 16 for 18 from the free throw line for the Badgers in a game that was marred by frequent foul calls. Illinois came into Saturday’s game as one of the nation’s top shooting teams, especially from 3-point range. But the Illini shot a season-low 30.2 percent from the field Saturday. Illinois guard D.J. Richardson continued to struggle, shooting 0 for 4 from the field Saturday. Richardson also was 0 for 4 in the loss at Penn State. Brandon Paul added 15 for the Illini. Wisconsin evened the season series with the Illini, who beat the Badgers 69-61 on Jan. 2. Leading by 2 at halftime, Wisconsin took control of the game with a 10-0 run to begin the second half. Nankivil hit a pair of early 3-pointers, helping the Badgers recover from their ugly 1-for-12 shooting performance from 3-point range in the first half. McCamey’s ability to drive and draw fouls kept Illinois in the game, and Wisconsin’s lead didn’t truly seem safe until Leuer nailed a 3-pointer with 5:10 left.

Brandon Paul scored 17 of his 20 points in the first half to lead No. 23 Illinois past 17th-ranked Michigan State 71-62. The Illini led 53-43 on a 3-pointer by Paul with 13:08 to play. But they had to hold off a late Spartans charge and ultimately won with seven free throws from four players that built a two-point lead back up to 65-57 with 5:25 left. Demetri McCamey had 15 points and 11 assists, and Jereme Richmond added 14 points off the bench for Illinois. The win ended a two-game skid for the Illini that included defeats at Penn State and Wisconsin. Michigan State was led by Kalin Lucas, who scored 15 points. Raymond Green had 12 but fouled out with 36 seconds to play. The Illini led 41-37 at halftime and outscored Michigan State 12-6 over the first 7 minutes of the second half. They closed that stretch with two inside points from Richmond on a long pass from McCamey that sliced just over the outstretched hands of two Spartans defenders and a 3-pointer from Paul after Richmond forced a Michigan State turnover. Davis finished with 11 points and 11 rebounds. After losing their shooting touch in back-to-back road losses to Penn State and Wisconsin, Illinois found its form. The Illini went 25 of 47 (53.2 percent) from the field and made eight of their 17 3-pointers. Illinois hit 61.5 percent of its shots - including six of its nine 3s - in the first half and led by as many as eight over the first 20 minutes. Roe had eight points and 10 rebounds for Michigan State.
Sullinger had 27 points and 16 rebounds while playing all 40 minutes, and the Buckeyes scored 14 straight points in the second half to rally past Illinois 73-68. Sullinger was 13 for 15 at the free throw line and scored Ohio State’s first nine points of the second half, keeping his team in the game when none of his teammates could find the basket. And finally, when Illinois’ last gasp ended, it was Sullinger, sitting in the lane grinning and holding the ball, signaling that it was over and the Buckeyes could relax. Trailing 34-33 at halftime, the Buckeyes came out cold. Sullinger’s nine points over the first 6:30 were all they could muster. Jereme Richmond had 18 points and 10 rebounds for Illinois, and Mike Tisdale added 15 points. Demetri McCamey, who leads the Illini with 16.2 points a game, scored just five on 2-of-11 shooting. Still, when Mike Davis’ layup dropped with 12:51 to play, Illinois was up 50-42 and Matta called a timeout. Starting with a pair of free throws by Jon Diebler with 11:39 left and ending with a 3-pointer by Deshaun Thomas with 7:47 to go, the Buckeyes went on a 14-0 run that gave them a 56-50 lead. The Illini, though, still had a run left in them. Down 68-61 with 2:12 to play, they scored seven of the next eight points, the last of them on a 3-pointer by the 7-foot-1 Tisdale to close to 69-68. The Illini were forced to foul Aaron Craft, who sank both free throws for a 71-68 Ohio State lead with 15 seconds left. The Illini brought the ball back up and McCamey flipped it to Tisdale as he moved inside toward the basket. Diebler stripped the ball from Tisdale’s hand and Sullinger, heading to the floor, latched onto it to seal the win.
Jordan Hulls scored 12 of his 18 points in the second half, and Tom Pritchard’s tip-in with 44.2 seconds left led the Hoosiers past No. 20 Illinois 52-49, setting off one of Bloomington’s wildest postgame parties in years. Pritchard, who drew four fouls in the first 9 minutes of the second half, came up with the game’s biggest play when he got his fingertips on a missed shot and redirected it in for the go-ahead basket, just his second all night. Indiana’s Christian Watford, who had 16 points, had blood on his jersey. The last time Indiana had beaten a ranked foe: Feb. 19, 2008 against Purdue. Mike Davis led the Fighting Illini with 14 points, but nobody else reached double figures. Demetri McCamey finished with six points, his second straight game with fewer than 10, and Illinois’ vaunted 3-point shooters were a dismal 5 of 20. Illinois has lost four of its last five. Hulls ended a 10-minute stretch in which the Hoosiers managed only one basket by driving in for consecutive layups midway through the second half. His 3-pointer with 7:36 to go gave Indiana a 41-39 lead - its first of the second half. Hulls’ next 3 with 5:01 left, extended the Hoosiers’ lead to 46-42, and then Hulls rallied his teammates on the defensive end. When Illinois answered with seven straight points to take a 49-46 lead on Brandon Paul’s 3 with 2:43 to go, the Hoosiers buckled down. The Illini didn’t score the rest of the game. Hulls fed the ball into the post where Watford drew a foul and made two free throws. Then after Watford missed a shot in the paint, Pritchard got through traffic to get his hands on the loose ball and into the basket.

Mike Davis scored 22 points, including 10 on dunks, to lead Illinois past Penn State 68-51 in front of a sparse crowd held down by a winter storm. Davis scored seven straight points midway through the second half to give the Illini a 50-39 lead with just over 10 minutes to play. Four minutes later he calmly buried a pair of free throws that put the game out of reach at 60-45. Bill Cole added 10 for the Illini, who had lost their last two games. Penn State lost senior forward Jeff Brooks just before halftime to a dislocated right shoulder. Tim Frazier and Talor Battle had 12 points each for the Nittany Lions. Just under 3,500 fans braved one of the worst winter storms in years to get to the Assembly Hall. That’s less than one-fifth of facility’s capacity.
Michael Thompson scored 22 points, hitting five 3-pointers, and Northwestern escaped with a wild 71-70 victory over Illinois. Northwestern blew a 12-point lead in the second half and had to hang on after getting it back up to seven. Demetri McCamey nailed a 3-pointer with 40 seconds left, pulling the Fighting Illini within 68-65. The drama was just beginning. Thompson turned the ball over near midcourt. McCamey then hit two free throws to make it 68-67 with 10.4 seconds left. John Shurna immediately answered with two of his own to bump Northwestern’s lead back to three. McCamey then missed a free throw with 7 seconds left, and the Wildcats’ Luka Mirkovic got the rebound and was fouled before making 1 of 2 to make it 71-67. Illinois’ Brandon Paul hit a 3 as time expired.
Mike Davis had 17 points and nine rebounds and Demetri McCamey scored 17 points in a surprise role off the bench to lead Illinois to a 71-62 victory over Minnesota. D.J. Richardson added 11 points for the Illini, who outscored Minnesota 23-2 off the bench to snap a four-game road losing streak. Trevor Mbakwe had 17 points and 16 rebounds and Ralph Sampson III added 16 points, 11 rebounds and four blocks for the Golden Gophers. Minnesota has lost four straight games, including two at home that have seriously hurt their NCAA tournament resume. Blake Hoffarber had 15 points, but Minnesota’s leading scorer made just 5 of 13 shots and was harassed all night by a determined Illinois defense. As the clock ticked down, a vocal contingent of Illini fans chanted, “This is our house!”

#14/12 Purdue 81, Illinois 70
Illinois 54, Michigan 52
Michigan State 61, Illinois 57
For one half, Purdue’s shooting was brutal. The shooting was so bad - 28.6 percent - that after one errant miss by JaJuan Johnson, Purdue coach Matt Painter eyed his leading scorer with exasperation as Johnson ran back upcourt, the coach’s arms stretched wide and his hands raised as if to say, “What was that?” But the No. 14 Boilermakers turned it around with 54 second-half points, locking up a comeback 81-70 win. The Illini led or were tied for all but 1:17 of the first half and went to the locker room up 32-27. But they knew, coach Bruce Weber said, that a storm was coming. The Boilermakers started their second-half push with a 10-4 run that gave them just their second lead of the afternoon. And they made it stick. E’Twaun Moore, who finished with 20 points, hit a 3-pointer with 16:05 to play that put Purdue up 37-36. As much as JaJuan Johnson and Moore hurt Illinois in the second half, Weber said, role players like Smith made key shots that stung, while Jackson - who finished with 10 points and five assists - cut up Illinois’ defense. Illinois was led by Brandon Paul’s 23 points. D.J. Richardson finished with 13. Demetri McCamey returned to the starting lineup after playing off the bench against Minnesota, but finished with just 4 points, 10.8 below his average.
Demetri McCamey scored 18 and Illinois held off a late Michigan charge for a 54-52 win. Bill Cole hit a free throw with 14 seconds to play to give Illinois the two-point edge. The Wolverines then missed a pair of shots at the other end, the last a desperation one-handed heave by Stu Douglass that hit the rim at the buzzer. The win keeps Illini hopes for an NCAA tournament spot alive. For Michigan, the loss ended a three-game winning streak that had the Wolverines thinking March Madness might be in reach for them, too. Mike Tisdale added 12 for Illinois, which led 32-22 at halftime. Jordan Morgan led Michigan with 12 points. Darius Morris had 11 points and Tim Hardaway Jr. scored 10.
Kalin Lucas scored 25 points, lifting Michigan State to a 61-57 win over Illinois. The Spartans have won two of three after losing five of six to bolster their shot at playing in a 14th straight NCAA tournament. The Fighting Illini have lost three of five to make it more difficult to earn one of the coveted 68 spots in college basketball’s showcase next month. Michigan State scored nine straight points after the game was tied at 51 to pull away in a closely contested game that had postseason-like intensity. Demetri McCamey had 15 points, Mike Davis scored 15 and Brandon Paul added 12 for Illinois. Lucas didn’t get much help offensively. Keith Appling scored nine points, Durrell Summers had all eight of his points in the first half and Delvon Roe added eight, including a low-post shot that put the Spartans ahead by four with 1 1/2 minutes left.

David Lighty scored 17 of his 21 points in the second half and William Buford had all 17 of his in the first to lead No. 2 Ohio State past Illinois 89-70, an impressive bounce-back game after two recent losses for the Buckeyes. Jon Diebler had 13 points, Aaron Craft 12 and Jared Sullinger 12 points and 11 rebounds for the Buckeyes, who had lost two of three after winning their first 25 games. Mike Davis scored 18 points, Mike Tisdale 14 and Jereme Richmond 11 for Illinois, in dire need of more wins to make the NCAA tournament field. Demetri McCamey was held out of the starting lineup but had 15 points and six assists. The Buckeyes never trailed after tying it 2-2, building a 15-point lead at halftime and then trading runs with the Illini. Ohio State shot 53 percent from the field to end Illinois’ string of 37 consecutive games holding an opponent under 50 percent. The last team to reach 50 percent was also Ohio State, which shot 53.1 against the Illini on Feb. 14, 2010. And he wasn’t alone. The Illini were 8 for 9 on 3-pointers in the opening half but still fell behind 47-32 in the face of Ohio State’s shooting and efficiency on offense. The Buckeyes were 20 of 35 from the field (57 percent) and didn’t have a turnover - to Illinois’ 52 percent shooting (12 of 23) and nine turnovers. Buford was the chief reason the Buckeyes pulled away. He had 17 points to go with two assists, feeding Diebler for a 3 from the right corner at the buzzer to send the large crowd into intermission with a sustained roar.
Mike Tisdale scored 25 points and Illinois kept its NCAA tournament hopes alive with an 81-68 win over struggling Iowa. Mike Davis added 20 points and nine rebounds. He was often the catalyst for the Illini on a night when Iowa, for a while, refused to go away. Davis’ short bucket with 12:34 to play gave Illinois a 58-43 lead that was too much for the Hawkeyes. Illinois led 36-31 at halftime and Iowa closed to within 38-35 early on a basket by Bryce Cartwright. But two free throws by Tisdale after Hawkeyes coach Fran McCaffery drew a technical and Davis’ subsequent basket drained the Hawkeyes. Melsahn Basabe led Iowa with 17 points. Jarryd Cole added 15.
JaJuan Johnson scored 23 points and E’Twaun Moore added 18 to help No. 6 Purdue beat Illinois 75-67. D.J. Byrd added a career-high 16 points for the Boilermakers, who overcame a 13-point deficit to win their seventh straight. Demetri McCamey scored 18 points and Mike Davis added 12 points and 10 rebounds for Illinois. The Fighting Illini shot 50 percent from the field, but Purdue made 11 3-pointers and committed just five turnovers. The teams were tied at halftime, but Moore hit a long jumper and Johnson converted a three-point play to put the Boilermakers up 44-39. Purdue led 53-51 when Illinois’ Mike Tisdale committed his fourth foul with 9:29 left. The 7-foot-1 center left the game, and the Boilermakers went on a 7-0 run over the next 1:05. Smith’s long 3-pointer pushed Purdue’s lead to 60-51 with 8:24 to play. McCamey made a 3-pointer, and Smith was called for a foul away from the ball. Davis made both free throws, and Purdue’s lead was trimmed to 60-58. McCamey converted a three-point play to cut Purdue’s lead to one point, but a steal and layup by Moore put Purdue ahead 67-62 with 5 minutes remaining. A fadeaway 3-pointer by Moore as the shot clock expired gave Purdue a 72-64 lead with 52 seconds left. Illinois stretched the lead to 29-16 before Painter called another timeout. The Fighting Illini made 12 of their first 16 field goal attempts. Three-pointers by Lewis Jackson, Byrd, Moore and Terone Johnson in a 3 1/2-minute span cut Illinois’ lead to 31-30. This time, Illinois coach Bruce Weber called the timeout. Moore hit a 3-pointer with 9 seconds left in the half to tie the score 37-all. Illinois shot 59 percent in the first half, but couldn’t shake the Boilermakers.

Demetri McCamey scored 22 points and Mike Davis added 13 to lead Illinois past Indiana 72-48. The win gives the Illini a .500 record in conference play and improves their resume for a spot in the NCAA tournament. It also give Illinois a first-round bye in the Big Ten tournament next week in Indianapolis. Illinois never trailed and opened up a 19-point lead at 34-15 on a McCamey layup with just over six minutes left in the first half. The lead grew to as much as 29 at 72-43 late in the second half on a bucket by reserve Joseph Bertrand. The Hoosiers were led by Verdell Jones’ 12. Jordan Hulls was held to four points after scoring 18 in a win over the Illini in their last meeting in January. Davis added nine rebounds.
Darius Morris scored eight of his 17 points in the final eight minutes, leading Michigan back from a nine-point deficit to beat Illinois 60-55 in the Big Ten tournament quarterfinals. Wolverines coach John Beilein beat the tourney’s winningest team, won his 1,000th game as a head coach. Mike Tisdale, Demetri McCamey and Brandon Paul each scored 10 points to lead the Fighting Illini. It’s only the second time in 14 years that Illinois did not advance to the semis. After closing the first half on a 17-4 run, the Illini didn’t let Michigan get closer than seven until Morris took over late. Morris tied the score at 51 with 3:24 left, and Tim Hardaway Jr.’s 3-pointer with 1:42 left finally gave Michigan a 56-53 lead that it didn’t relinquish.

Mike Davis tied his season high with 22 points, Demetri McCamey added 17 points and seven assists and Illinois dominated UNLV 73-62 to set up another meeting between Fighting Illini coaches past and present in the Southwest region of the NCAA tournament. The ninth-seeded Illini took control with an early 15-0 run and led by as many as 25 in a surprisingly easy rout, after losing 10 of their previous 16 games to bring into question whether they’d even make it into the 68-team bracket. Illinois moved to 15-0 this season when McCamey has at least seven assists. Oscar Bellfield scored 14 to lead the Runnin’ Rebels, who had lost just three of their previous 13 games - all against BYU and San Diego State, the Mountain West’s pair of top-10 powers. The Illini were on from the start, handling UNLV’s in-yourface defense with ease and building a 23-point lead while shooting 63 percent in the first half. The Runnin’ Rebels went scoreless for a span of nearly seven minutes in the first half. UNLV got within 61-45 on Stanback’s jumper with 8 minutes left, but D.J. Richardson hit back-to-back 3-pointers and then a layup to bump the lead back to 22 by the 5-minute mark. A Rebels rally that came way too late made the score look deceivingly close in Illinois’ first NCAA tournament win in five years.

#2/2 Kansas 73, Illinois 59
march 20, 2011 // BOK Center, Tulsa, Okla. Mike Davis led the Fighting Illini with 17 points and seven rebounds, but Illinois lost to No. 2 Kansas 73-59. Twin brothers Marcus and Markieff Morris combined for 41 points and 24 rebounds, powering the Jayhawks ahead in the second half against an opponent that was no mid-major upstart. Demetri McCamey and Mike Davis both put their names into the NBA draft before returning for one last season with the senior-laden Fighting Illini (20-14), who were once ranked as high as No. 12. The Morris twins scored 24 of Kansas’ first 29 points in the second half, punctuated by consecutive two-handed slams by Markieff that made it 62-51 with 3:51 to play. After an Illinois turnover at the other end, the twins each followed Tyshawn Taylor in making leaping spins into teammates to start a timeout. The Jayhawks avoided revisiting their loss to another No. 9 seed, Northern Iowa, exactly a year earlier and also on Oklahoma soil. Davis led the Fighting Illini with 17 points, D.J. Richardson scored 15 and Mike Tisdale chipped in 13 points and 11 rebounds for Illinois. McCamey was hardly a factor, finishing with just six points and seven assists. The Illini had been 15-0 when he had at least seven assists this season. Illinois Davis* Cole* Tisdale* Paul* McCamey* Richardson Bertrand Head Leonard Griffey Team Totals FG% 3PT% FT%

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 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. Ruby’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.

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.

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.

Lon Kruger was named the 14th men’s basketball coach at the University of Illinois on March 21, 1996, succeeding Lou Henson, who retired after 21 seasons at Illinois. 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).

year-by-year records Head Coach bruce weber (8 years, 193-86, .692)
Bruce Weber was named the 16th men’s basketball coach at the University of Illinois on April 30, 2003. Weber came to Champaign after five seasons as head coach at Southern Illinois, where he led the Salukis to consecutive Missouri Valley Conference titles in his last two seasons, and to the NCAA Sweet Sixteen in 2002. Weber became the third coach in Big Ten history to win an outright Big Ten championship in his first season in the league after leading the Illini to 10 straight wins to end the regular season en route to the 2004 title. Weber also led the Illini to the NCAA Sweet 16 and a final record of 26-7, tying the fourth-most wins in school history. Weber made history during his second season with the Illini, directing Illinois to its first-ever appearance in the national championship game and to the Final Four for the first time since 1989. Weber led the Illini to a record of 37-2, tying the NCAA record for wins a season. He became the first coach in Big Ten history to win consecutive outright league titles in his first two years after guiding the Illini to the 2005 outright title with a league record of 15-1. The Illini also won the Big Ten Tournament title and received the overall No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. Illinois won its first 29 games of the season, setting a school record and ranking as the third-best start in Big Ten history. Illinois was ranked No. 1 in the national polls for 15 straight weeks and was ranked No. 1 in the final 2005 Associated Press poll. Weber’s record in his third season matched his first as the 2006 Illini again went 26-7, tying the fourth-most wins in school history. Illinois was the Big Ten runner-up, advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament, and finished the year ranked 13th in the final AP Poll. The Illini again topped the 20-win marker in 2007, compiling a record of 23-12 and earning another NCAA Tournament berth. After advancing to the Big Ten Tournament championship game in 2008, Weber’s 2009 Illinois squad won 24 games, was the Big Ten runnerup, and earned a No. 5 seed in the NCAA Tournament. Weber’s 2010 UI squad won 21 games and made a trip to the NIT quarterfinals. Weber hit the 20-win marker for the seventh time in eight years in 2011 and led the Illini to the third round of the NCAA Tournament.

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. Krush membership has risen dramatically to 1,300 screaming Illinois students, 700 of which stand courtside, supporting head coach Bruce Weber and 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 the Assembly Hall. Not only is the Orange Krush considered the nation’s premier basketball student section, but it is a charity foundation as well. All students interested in membership in the Orange Krush must participate in the Orange Krush 3-point shot program, which raises money for local charities. Founded in 1998, the Orange Krush Foundation (formerly Team Krush Foundation) is a University of Illinois student-run 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 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, Make-AWish Foundation, Coaches vs. Cancer and the Developmental Services Center. In addition, the Orange Krush Foundation created the Matthew Heldman Memorial Scholarship Fund, which honors Matthew Heldman, a point guard for the 1997-1998 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 Coach 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 young 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. In the 95-year history of the award, 17 Fighting Illini basketball players have earned the accolade, 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:

Chosen by the coaches.
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.
