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 eighth season serving as the expert analyst on 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 Learfield Soprts, including distribution, sales operations, affiliate relations and programming, ISN programming includes Illinois football, men’s and women’s basketball, volleyball and baseball, along with the “Illini Today” series.

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 was named the 17th Fighting Illini men’s basketball coach on March 29, 2012.
the GROCE file Born Sept. 7, 1971, in Muncie, Ind. Hometown Danville, Ind. Family Wife, Allison; Sons, Conner and Camden 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 2013 Head Coach University of Illinois
Groce arrived at Illinois after four seasons as head coach at Ohio University, where he led the Bobcats to an 85-56 overall record, MidAmerican Conference Tournament titles and NCAA Tournament appearances in 2010 and 2012, and a national ranking of 25th in the final 2012 Coaches Poll. Ohio was the story of the 2012 NCAA Tournament, advancing to the Sweet 16 as a No. 13 seed with victories over No. 4 seed Michigan followed by No. 12 seed South Florida. The Bobcats finished just short of the Elite Eight, falling to top-seeded 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. Groce has recorded a total of three wins during his last two NCAA appearances, as Ohio also made noise in the 2010 tournament. 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.
The 41-year-old Groce is now in his 20th year in the coaching profession and has been part of teams that have made 16 postseason appearances in the previous 19 years. His record in 15 years as an assistant was an impressive 349-156, giving him a combined record of 434-212. Groce earned his first head coaching job at Ohio following four seasons on Thad Matta’s staff at Ohio State from 2005-08, the first two as assistant coach and last two as associate head coach. During Groce’s time in Columbus, the Buckeyes amassed a record of 105-35, advanced to the NCAA championship game in 2007 and second round in 2006, claimed back-to-back outright Big Ten Championships in 2006 and 2007, and won the NIT in 2008. Groce played a key role in recruiting many of the top players at Ohio State and was named Rivals.com’s 2006 National Recruiter of the Year. In all, Groce spent eight years as an assistant under Matta. Prior to his time at Ohio State, he served three years on Matta’s staff at Xavier from 2002-04 and one season at Butler in 2001. The Musketeers
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. Groce, meanwhile, was one of just six head coaches at a non-BCS school to total at least three NCAA Tournament wins over the last three years. Groce’s last three Ohio teams all averaged more than 70 points per game, with the Bobcats leading the MAC in scoring in both 2010 (74.7 ppg) and 2011 (74.4 ppg). Ohio’s point guard, meanwhile, was the MAC leader in assists in each of Groce’s first three seasons. Under Groce, the Bobcats totaled three first-team All-MAC selections in Jerome Tillman (2009) and D.J. Cooper (2011 and 2012), while five more players earned honorable mention All-MAC honors (Michael Allen, 2009; Armon Bassett, 2010; DeVaughn Washington, Fighting Illini head coach John Groce with his wife, Allison, 2011; Walter Offutt and Ivo Baltic, 2012). and sons, Conner (left) and Camden.

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. Fundraising increases were experienced in the annual fund, capital projects, endowments and sports-specific giving.
In his first year at Illinois, Thomas directed Fighting Illini teams that won a national championship in men’s gymnastics and Big Ten titles in women’s soccer, men’s gymnastics, men’s tennis and men’s golf, while also producing six NCAA individual champions, and 24 All-Americans in a wide range of sports. Illinois finished 21st in the final Learfield Director’s Cup standings, just one spot behind the school’s highest all-time finish.
Under Thomas, UC Athletics Development instituted the Director’s Society for UC Athletics, soliciting donors giving over $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 over $17 million.
In December 2011, Thomas announced the hiring of Tim Beckman as the Fighting Illini football coach. In April 2012, Thomas also named new head coaches in men’s and women’s basketball with the hiring of John Groce for the men and Matt Bollant for the women. 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. In 2008, Kelly led UC to a school-record 11 wins along with the school’s first Big East Conference Championship and an appearance in the FedEx Orange Bowl. Both feats were repeated in 2009, with UC winning their second-straight Big East title and playing in the AllState Sugar Bowl after finishing 12-0 and No. 3 in the final BCS rankings. Thomas also hired Butch Jones, who has gone on to ensure Cincinnati’s dominance on the conference scene, sharing in a Big East title in 2011. Thomas brought back a Bearcat when he hired former UC assistant Mick Cronin as head men’s basketball coach in 2006. In five seasons, Cronin returned the program to national prominence and UC was the only Division I team to improve its win total over each of the five seasons from 2007-11, going 26-9 in 2010-11 and returning to the NCAA tournament for the first time since the 2004-05 season, beating Missouri en route to an exciting third-round loss to eventual 2011 national champion UConn. Cronin has gone on to lead the Bearcats to a second place finish in the 16-team Big East tourney in 2012 and another slot in the NCAA tournament. 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, including a league-high five Big East Academic Excellence Awards in 2009-10. The overall Academic Progress Rate (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 1000, including men’s basketball. During Thomas’ time at UC, the number of Big East Academic All-Stars increased from 124 to 218. From 2007-11, UC student-athletes consistently achieved overall grade-point averages (GPA) over 3.0 and boasted a student-athlete graduation rate of 70 percent, 10 percent higher than the overall student body. In that same ATHLETIC DIRECTOR HISTORY time period, the Graduate Success Rate (GSR) for student-athletes increased 1892-94 Edward K. Hall from 66 percent to 77 percent. 1894-95 Fred D.

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 by $7 million, a vital 20 percent increase, while simultaneously reducing the annual operating deficit by over $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.
Thomas raised private funding and built the Sheakley Athletics Center, providing football and other UC athletic teams much needed additional practice space. The facility also serves as a competition venue for women’s lacrosse. The complex converts to an indoor practice facility from November to March thanks to an airsupported structure inflated over the 100-yard field.
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, 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 MAC football championship and Thomas’ hire of men’s basketball coach Keith Dambrot has led to unparalleled success on the hardwood with Dambrot’s program becoming one of the most successful in the MAC over the past seven seasons. 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 studentathletes. 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 has coordinated over $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 September of 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. 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. 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.

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
preseason notes New Era of Fighting Illini Basketball John Groce enters his first season as head coach of the Fighting Illini after taking the Ohio Bobcat program to new heights during his four seasons in Athens. Groce led the Bobcats to Mid-American Conference Tournament titles and NCAA Tournament appearances in both 2010 and 2012. Ohio won a school-record 29 games last season and advanced to the Sweet 16 with victories over No. 4 seed Michigan and No. 12 seed South Florida before falling to top-seeded North Carolina in overtime in the regional final. The Bobcats finished the season ranked 25th in the Coaches poll. Groce recorded a total of three NCAA Tournament wins at Ohio, as the Bobcats also defeated No. 3 seed Georgetown in 2010. Returning for the Illini Illinois welcomes back four starters, nine letterwinners and a total of 11 players, including six of the eight players who logged a majority of the minutes last year. Overall, Illinois returns 70.7 percent of its points, 69.3 percent of its rebounds, and 72.4 percent of its minutes played from the 2011-12 campaign. Leading the way this season are senior guards Brandon Paul and D.J. Richardson. Paul was a third-team All-Big Ten selection last year after leading the Illini in scoring (14.7 ppg), assists (2.9 apg) and steals (1.4 spg), while ranking second on the team in rebounds (4.7 rpg). Richardson, meanwhile, was third on the team in scoring with an average of 11.6 points and was the UI’s top 3-point shooter, nailing 71 treys. Another senior the Illini will rely on is forward Tyler Griffey, who averaged 4.9 points and 3.3 rebounds last year. Griffey scored in double figures four times, led by a career-high 18 points at Michigan. Junior Joseph Bertrand enjoyed a breakout season last year, averaging 6.5 points to rank fourth on the team. His comingout party came in the Braggin’ Rights game, where he scored 19 points on 9-of-9 shooting versus Missouri. Bertrand also netted a career-high 25 points against Nebraska. The heart and soul of the team is sophomore Tracy Abrams, who was voted the team’s most valuable player by his teammates last season in becoming the first true-freshman in school history to be named Illini MVP. Abrams earned 19 starts, averaging 4.3 points and 2.3 rebounds. Sophomore Nnanna Egwu gained valuable experience last season as a true freshman, playing nearly 10 minutes per game as a reserve behind Meyers Leonard while also competing against Leonard each day in practice. Like Egwu, sophomores Myke Henry, Mike Shaw and Ibby Djimde, as well as redshirt-freshman Devin Langford, will have the opportunity to compete for expanded roles this year after adjusting to the rigors of the college game last season. Also returning for the Illini is junior Kevin Berardini, who is now in his third year as a walk-on. New Faces While the Illini do not add any scholarship freshmen to the roster, there are three new additions to this year’s team. Fifth-year senior Sam McLaurin graduated from Coastal Carolina in May and is eligible to play immediately due to NCAA graduate transfer rules. McLaurin will bolster the UI frontcourt after averaging 10.0 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.2 blocks last season for the Chanticleers, while shooting 65.2 percent from the field.
Hometown product Rayvonte Rice returns after starring the last two seasons at Drake. Rice will sit out this season due to NCAA transfer rules, then will have two seasons of eligibility remaining with the Illini. Rice nearly reached the 1,000-point mark in just two seasons at Drake, totaling 983 points. He averaged 16.8 points and 5.8 rebounds last season, earning second-team All-Missouri Valley Conference honors while leading the MVC in steals at 1.9 per game. Rice led Centennial High School to a state title as a junior in 2009, and finished his prep career as the all-time leading scorer in Champaign-Urbana history. The final newcomer is freshman Mike LaTulip, who turned down scholarship opportunities elsewhere to join the Illini as a preferred walk-on. LaTulip averaged 22 points as a senior at Prospect High School, making 75 three-pointers on the season while shooting nearly 39 percent from behind the arc. Illini Backcourt Features Two 1,000-Point Scorers Guards Brandon Paul and D.J. Richardson reached the 1,000-point milestone last season, with Richardson netting his 1,000th point against Ohio State on Feb. 21 and Paul scoring his 1,000th point the very next game versus Iowa on Feb. 26. Paul currently ranks 43rd on the Illinois all-time scoring chart (1,056 points), with Richardson right behind at No. 44 on that list (1,035 points). Paul and Richardson enter their senior season as two of only four active Big Ten players with 1,000 career points, joined by Indiana’s Christian Watford (1,287 points) and Northwestern’s Drew Crawford (1,283 points). D.J. For Three D.J. Richardson led the UI with 71 three-pointers last season, ranking third in the Big Ten with 2.2 threes per game. Richardson currently ranks seventh on the Illini career three-point field goals list with 195 and is on pace to finish his career ranked among the top three most prolific 3-point shooters in school history. Historic Night for BP3 Brandon Paul scored a career-high 43 points in Illinois’ 79-74 win over No. 5 Ohio State on Jan. 10 at the Assembly Hall. It marked the third-highest scoring performance in school history and tied the fifth-highest single-game total in the NCAA during the season. It also was the highest point total by a Big Ten player in 18 years. Paul was incredibly efficient in the game, hitting 11-of-15 shots, including 8-of-10 3-pointers, and 13-of-15 from the line. He became the first NCAA player in the last 16 seasons with 43+ points on 15 or fewer field goal attempts. And his eight 3-pointers tied the Illini school record. Paul scored Illinois’ final 15 points of the game over the last 2:40, outscoring the Buckeyes 15-8 down the stretch. Leonard a Lottery Pick The Illini look to fill a big opening in the middle of the lineup previously occupied by Meyers Leonard. Following an impressive sophomore campaign where he ranked second on the team in scoring (13.6 ppg), third in the Big Ten in rebounding (8.2 rpg) and led the conference in blocked shots (1.6 bpg), Leonard declared for the NBA Draft. Leonard was drafted by the Portland Trail Blazers with the No. 11 overall pick, becoming the third Illinois player selected in the lottery and 15th first-round pick in school history, and the highest drafted player since 2005, when Deron Williams was taken third overall.

2011-12 in Review
2011-12 Season In REview It was a tale of two seasons for the Illini basketball program in 2011-12. Illinois started strong and played like a top-25 team through the first half of the season. But the close games that had gone the Illini’s way shifted in favor of the opposition in mid-January, and Illinois was unable to regain momentum, finishing the season with a record of 17-15 overall and 6-12 in the Big Ten. The Illini opened the year with three straight double-figure wins at home, then headed to Mexico for the Cancun Challenge. In the semifinal game of that tournament, the Illini jumped out to an impressive 18-point halftime lead over a Richmond team fresh off an NCAA Sweet-16 appearance. The Illini went on to the defeat the Spiders by nine points, setting up a showdown with Illinois State for the championship. ISU was ready for the challenge of facing its in-state rival from the Big Ten, scoring the game’s first seven points and going on a 17-3 run at the start of the second half to open up a sevenpoint advantage. But the Illini regained control after a 13-3 run of its own to put away the Redbirds and win the Cancun Challenge title. D.J. Richardson was named Tournament MVP, while Sam Maniscalco earned All-Tournament Team honors. Following a blowout win over Chicago State, the Illini entered a big week that featured a road game at Maryland in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge followed by a home game against 19th-ranked Gonzaga. The Illini responded to the call, winning both games. The nine-point win at Maryland was Illinois’ third straight victory in the Challenge and its sixth overall, tying the Illini for the most victories by a Big Ten team in the event’s history. Sam Maniscalco led the effort with a career-high 24 points and five 3-pointers. The 82-75 win over Gonzaga, meanwhile, caught the attention of poll voters, as the Illini entered the Top 25 the following week. Meyers Leonard was impressive against the Bulldogs, scoring a game-high 21 points on 9-of-11 shooting. Two more victories followed, extending Illinois’ winning streak to 10 and keeping the Illini among nine undefeated teams left nationally while also equaling the ninth-best start in school history. The run came to an end, however, at the United Center against a UNLV squad that would go on to earn an NCAA Tournament berth. After a win over Cornell, the Illini took on ninth-ranked Missouri in St. Louis. The Illini roared back from a 14-point second-half deficit to take a 70-68 lead with two minutes
remaining. Mizzou, however, reeled off seven unanswered points to retain the Braggin’ Rights trophy. Joseph Bertrand had his coming out party against the Tigers, making all nine shots he attempted and scoring a game-high 19 points. Big Ten play began in exciting fashion with the Illini defeating Minnesota in double-overtime at the Assembly Hall. Minnesota owned a 2-point lead and the ball with 18 seconds left in regulation. But the Gophers missed the front end of a one-and-one and the Illini forced overtime when Meyers Leonard made two pressure packed free throws with seven seconds remaining. The Illini outscored the Gophers 11-2 in the second overtime, with Leonard and Brandon Paul combining for 10 of the UI’s 11. A road loss at Purdue followed, but the Illini earned a road win the following game, defeating Northwestern by one point in Evanston. With the game tied, freshman Myke Henry grabbed an offensive rebound and was fouled on a putback attempt with six seconds left. He made one free throw to put the Illini on top, and Meyers Leonard then made a huge defensive play, blocking Drew Crawford’s potential gamewinning shot as time expired. The Illini next defeated Nebraska, setting the stage for a showdown with No. 5 Ohio State. Led by Brandon Paul’s epic performance, Illinois overcame its largest deficit of the season to defeat the Buckeyes. The Illini trailed 48-37 early in the second half before taking a 57-54 lead. Ohio State would not go away, however, regaining a two-point lead with three minutes left. That’s when Paul took over, scoring the final 15 points for the Illini on a pair of 3-pointers and nine free throws. After hitting two free throws to tie the game, Paul’s first three during his run gave the Illini a 69-66 lead with 2:02 to go. Following two more free throws, his second trey – and school-record tying eighth of the game – came with the shot clock expiring and OSU
Meyers Leonard raises Brandon Paul in celebration following Paul’s career-high 43-point effort that led the Illini to a 79-74 victory over No. 5 Ohio State. defender Aaron Craft blanketing him, putting the Illini ahead 74-70 with just 43 seconds left. He then hit five-of-six from the line in the final 22 seconds to close out the win. Paul scored a career-high 43 points on the night, the third-highest single-game total in school history, fifth-highest in the NCAA on the season, and the most by a Big Ten player in 18 years. Paul did more than just score, however, adding a game-high eight rebounds and careerhigh four blocked shots to his totals. The win improved the Illini to 15-3 overall, 4-1 in conference play, and back into the Top 25. The tide turned after that game, however, as Illinois dropped 12 of its final 14 games. Seven of those contests, including the first five, were all decided by five points or less. Both victories during that stretch came at the Assembly Hall, 42-41 over No. 9 Michigan State and 65-54 over Iowa.

ILLINOIS 67, loyola chicago 49
ILLINOIS 66, SIU Edwardsville 46
ILLINOIS 79, Lipscomb 64
Meyers Leonard scored 15 points and had six blocks and Brandon Paul added 14 points to lead Illinois to a 67-49 season-opening win over Loyola Chicago. Leonard, a 7-foot-1 sophomore, had nine points by halftime and hit the first 3-pointer of his career for the Illini. Paul overcame a cold-shooting first half in which he scored two points to lead Illinois. Paul’s 3-pointer with just over nine minutes to play gave the Illini a 48-38 lead and the breathing room they needed to finish off the Ramblers. Loyola had pulled to within 38-34 with 11:53 to play after an 11-2 run. Walt Gibbler led Loyola with 19 points, 15 in the second half.
D.J. Richardson scored 20 points and Tyler Griffey and Meyers Leonard had career nights in the paint to lead Illinois to a 66-46 victory over Southern Illinois-Edwardsville. The Illini totaled 48 rebounds, better than in any game last season, with Griffey and Leonard setting career highs with 14 and 11,respectively. SIUE was led by 13 points from Mark Yelovich and 12 from Corey Wickware. The Cougars lost their season opener after winning their two exhibition games and fell to 0-11 all time against Big Ten opponents. The game was the first of the Cancun Challenge, which includes eight Division I teams. Eight games are being played in the U.S. and then eight in Cancun, Mexico.
D.J. Richardson scored 17 points, and Illinois used a 14-0 second-half run to put away Lipscomb 79-64 in the second round of the Cancun Challenge. Illinois survived the first half mostly without their 7-foot1-inch big man, Meyers Leonard. The sophomore sat after picking up his second foul less than two minutes into the game and didn’t return until the second half. Illinois struggled without him; Lipscomb tied the game 19-19 on a Zavion Williams jumper midway through the second half and trailed 33-26 at halftime. With Leonard back, Illinois put together its run. Baskets by Brandon Paul and Nnanna Egwu finished it off and made the score 50-33 with 12:13 left. Sam Maniscalco added 15 for Illinois. Jacob Arnett led Lipscomb with 17.

Meyers Leonard had a double-double with 22 points and 12 rebounds as Illinois defeated Richmond 70-61 in the Cancun Challenge. Sam Maniscalco added 19 points and D.J. Richardson 15 for the Fighting Illini. Darien Brothers matched Leonard with 22 points for the Spiders, including six 3-pointers. He was backed by 11 apiece from Kendall Anthony and Cedrick Lindsay. Only five players scored for Illinois and just six for Richmond. Illinois shot 42.3 percent (22 of 52), only slightly better than the 38.3 percent (18 of 47) by Richmond.
Sam Maniscalco scored 14 points, including five in the final minute, and Illinois hung on to beat Illinois State 63-59 in the championship game of the Cancun Challenge’s Riviera Division. Richardson scored 13 points and Brandon Paul added 12 for the Illini. Maniscalco’s basket gave Illinois a 59-54 lead and his layup restored a five-point lead after a pair of Illinois State free throws. Jackie Carmichael had 17 points and Jon Ekey scored 14 for the Redbirds, who had a chance to win at the end, but Tyler Brown missed a long 3-pointer with a second remaining and the Redbirds trailing 61-59. Paul made two free throws for the final margin. Illinois improved to 8-0 all-time against Illinois State. The schools, whose campuses are only 50 miles apart, went nearly 3,000 miles to meet in Cancun.
Myke Henry scored 14 points and Illinois easily defeated Chicago State 90-43. Illinois jumped to a 13-3 lead, and a 17-4 run at the end of the first half pushed the Illini’s advantage to 44-19 at the break. Henry, a freshman forward, returned from an ankle injury and came off the bench. After close wins against Richmond and Illinois State in which the Illini had to rely on a small rotation of veteran players, the large leads throughout the game allowed Illinois to dig deep into its bench. Five Illini players finished in double figures, with the bench contributing 48 points. Chicago State was led by forward Jeremy Robinson’s 14 points and six rebounds in its lowest scoring effort of the season.

Sam Maniscalco scored 24 points, Brandon Paul had 17 and undefeated Illinois pulled away to a 71-62 victory over Maryland in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge. The Fighting Illini trailed at halftime and led by only one point with 8 minutes left before Maniscalco knocked down a pair of 3-pointers in a 10-2 run that proved too difficult for the feisty Terrapins to overcome. Terrell Stoglin scored 25 for Maryland and James Padgett had 16. The Terrapins had won six straight in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge and were riding a 13-game home winning streak against nonconference opponents. But Maryland, playing its first season under coach Mark Turgeon, gave the Illini all they could handle before fading down the stretch. Illinois trailed 41-37 before Paul scored on a drive and Maniscalco hit a 3-pointer to give the Illini their first lead since 2-0. Nnanna Egwu followed with a layup and Tyler Griffey popped a jumper from deep in the corner to make it 47-41 and seal the 10-point run. After the lead dwindled to 51-50, Maniscalco scored from beyond the arc with 7:45 left. The 6-foot guard popped another 3 with 5:28 remaining to make it 59-52, and although the Terrapins closed to five points in the final minute, they couldn’t complete the comeback.
Meyers Leonard scored 21 points and helped Illinois hold No. 19 Gonzaga’s Robert Sacre to two second-half points in an 82-75 upset. D.J. Richardson added 19 points for undefeated Illinois. He hit two free throws and a three-pointer that with 5:35 to play put Illinois up 67-60. Sacre fouled out two minutes later. He finished with 16 points. But he went scoreless for more than 20 minutes. Elias Harris led Gonzaga with 19 points. Brandon Paul scored 13 for Illinois. Illinois rotated its big men--the 7-1 Leonard, 6-8 Tyler Griffey and freshmen 6-8 Ibby Djimde and 6-11 Nnanna Egwu--on Sacre. Early on the 7-foot Gonzaga center had his way, scoring 14 first-half points and keeping the∆3 Bulldogs close through the first half. But after a basket with 4:22 to play in the first half, Sacre went cold, frustrated by the rotating cast of Illini around him. With Sacre invisible, the Illini went on a 7-0 run early in the second half. Sacre finally found his touch again, hitting a short jumper and pumping his fist in relief as Gonzaga closed to seven at 69-62, but that relief was short lived. On the next possession Leonard quickly hit a jump shot that erased Sacre’s two points and kept the lead at 71-62. Leonard, with 3:38 left in the game, then drew a charge from Sacre and the packed Assembly Hall erupted as Sacre walked to the bench.
On a night when nothing worked quite right for the Illini, Brandon Paul scored 11 points in the final four minutes and single-handedly drove a comeback that delivered a 48-43 comeback win over St. Bonaventure to keep Illinois unbeaten. Like his teammates, Paul struggled much of the night. Then, as Illinois waited for somebody to provide a spark, he came to life. Paul finished with 17 points. D.J. Richardson added 11 and Leonard had nine points and eight rebounds. Andrew Nicholson led St. Bonaventure with 17 points and eight rebounds. Both teams played sloppy on offense and struggled to get good shots for much of the night. The Illini hit just 31.9 percent of their shots and the Bonnies 35.4. St. Bonaventure went up 38-30 with 6:18 to play on a long jump shot by Nicholson. Then, after a 3-pointer by Richardson cut the lead to 39-33, Paul took over. First he hammered home a dunk with 3:58 to play that cut the Bonnies’ edge to 39-35 and revved up what had been a quiet crowd. After a bucket by Demitrius Conger, Paul turned a steal into a layup and, after he was fouled, a three-point play that made the score 41-38. His second three-point play tied the game and Leonard’s free throws gave Illinois its first lead since late in the first half. Down 48-43, St. Bonaventure’s had one last gasp. Nicholson tried a three and missed, and the rebound fell, fittingly, to Paul.

D.J. Richardson scored 20 points to lead four players in double figures and the No. 24 Illini beat Coppin State 80-63. Illinois shot 56 percent from the floor against Coppin State’s zone defense, including a season-best 10 threepointers. After Illinois jumped out to a 17-point lead in the opening minutes of the second half, Coppin State went on a 20-5 run to cut the lead to 59-57. Illinois responded with a 13-3 burst after Illinois center Meyers Leonard and Coppin State guard Taariq Cephas both received technical fouls when the two got tangled up and had to be separated. Tony Gallo scored 21 points for Coppin State, which also made 10 3-pointers. Leonard had 18 points and 11 rebounds for his second career double-double, while guards Sam Maniscalco and Brandon Paul each scored 12 points. The starting backcourt trio of Maniscalco, Paul and Richardson combined for nine of Illinois’ 10 3-pointers, most of which came against Coppin State’s zone defense. Maniscalco had five assists and no turnovers, while the rest of the team had 21 assists and nine turnovers. The 10 victories to start the season marks the best opening for an Illini team since 2005, and it is the fourthlongest winning streak for Illinois under Weber.
The cold-shooting Illini were led by 19 points from D.J. Richardson. Illinois shot 25.4 percent (16 for 63) and had 15 turnovers. The Illini went only 7 of 25 from 3-point range as they suffered their first loss to UNLV, 64-48, at the United Center in Chicago. UNLV went on a 14-2 run to close the first half to hand No. 19 Illinois its first loss of the season. In the opening 20 minutes, Illinois had nine turnovers and made just eight of 28 field goal attempts, including 3 of 11 on 3-pointers as it disappointed a large, orange-clad throng of fans. The Illini then missed eight of their first nine attempts to start the second half, but a Richardson 3-pointer helped the Illini get within eight. Then the Runnin’ Rebels took off. Carlos Lopez had a nice follow shot, Kendall Wallace sank a long 3-pointer and Moser drove for a basket after another Illini turnover as the Rebels ran out to a 15-point lead with 11:15 to go. Richardson hit his fourth 3-pointer of the second half to get the Illini within 11 with 6:14 remaining. Illinois whittled it to eight with 4:24 to go on a basket by Meyers Leonard. But Thomas had a dunk with 2:25 remaining to end a 7-minute field goal drought for UNLV and the Runnin’ Rebels regained control. Illinois, which is 32-11 at the United Center, has lost three straight and five of six on the Chicago Bulls’ home floor.
The 64-60 victory was anything but easy for No. 25 Illinois against Cornell. Meyers Leonard had 19 points and a career-high 16 rebounds, overcoming a back injury to lead the Illini. After trailing for the most of the game, Illinois was sparked by D.J. Richardson’s nine points in the second half and narrowly avoided its second consecutive loss. Josh Figini scored all 14 of his points in the first half to lead Cornell. Illinois opened the second half 1 for 13 from the field and fell behind 42-36, then put together a 14-6 run to regain the lead. The teams exchanged leads until the final minute, when Richardson hit a pull-up jumper with 17 seconds left to put Illinois ahead 62-58. Cornell hit six 3-pointers, including three by Figini, to jump out to a 24-14 lead. Led by several baskets from Leonard, Illinois tied the score 32-all by halftime. Richardson, the team’s leading scorer, scored 17 points, 11 in the second half. Brandon Paul broke out of a scoring slump with 15 points on 4-of-8 shooting for Illinois. Illinois outrebounded Cornell 42-25 and had 13 offensive rebounds. There were eight lead changes and the score was tied nine times.

Phil Pressey had 18 points, five assists and two steals, and the ninth-ranked Tigers held off a second-half charge by No. 25 Illinois for a 78-74 victory in the annual Braggin’ Rights game. Reserve Michael Dixon added 18 points and Ricardo Ratliffe had 14 in 19 minutes for Missouri, which squandered a 13-point cushion with 13 minutes left before recovering late. The Tigers have won three straight in the series and they’re 12-0 for the first time since opening the 1981-82 season 19-0. Reserve Joseph Bertrand had a career-high 19 points on 9-for-9 shooting, and Meyers Leonard had 14 points and 13 rebounds for Illinois in its second loss in three games. Brandon Paul added 19 points and nine rebounds for Illinois. Illinois led 70-68 after three free throws by D.J. Richardson with 2:01 to go, but Missouri answered with seven straight points Ratliffe scored twice inside, recovering an errant pass on one and putting back his own miss, and also forced a turnover. Illinois got no closer than three points the rest of the way, with Paul committing two turnovers. Phil Pressey’s layup was the clincher with 12 seconds to go for a five-point lead after Missouri worked the clock. Bertrand, a sophomore, totaled two points in the previous six games and came in averaging 3.2 per game. He scored nine points in a 17-3 surge for a 62-61 lead with 7:01 to go. The Fighting Illini were 14 for 23 to start the second half. Missouri helped with undisciplined play, throwing up several ill-advised 3-point attempts, but regained the lead on a driving shot by Phil Pressey with 6:45 to go. Both schools were ranked for the second straight year and eighth time in 31 all-time meetings.
Brandon Paul scored a breakaway dunk that put Illinois ahead in double overtime and Meyers Leonard hit the layup that sealed the 81-72 victory over Minnesota. Paul swiped the ball from Ralph Sampson III for the dunk that gave the Illini a three-point cushion at 73-70. Leonard’s layup with 1:11 left made it 78-72 and finished the Golden Gophers. Paul finished with 21 points. Leonard had 20 and a gamehigh 11 rebounds for his third straight double-double. Sampson led Minnesota with a game-high 22 points plus nine rebounds. Julian Welch added 15 points. The Illini led by 13 midway through the second half before the Gophers stormed back to tie it with just over 6 minutes to play on a 3-pointer by Welch. A pair of Leonard free throws with 7 seconds left sent the game to overtime.
Kelsey Barlow scored 14 points, including 11 in the second half, to lead Purdue over Illinois 75-60. Ryne Smith scored 12 points, all from 3-point range, and Terone Johnson and D.J. Byrd had nine each for the Boilermakers, who have won three straight. Brandon Paul scored 17 points and D.J. Richardson had 15 points and six rebounds for the Fighting Illini, who have lost three of their last five games. Purdue led at halftime 26-24, then started the second half on a 26-5 run. The spurt was capped with a 3-pointer by Byrd with 12:08 left. The Boilermakers pushed the lead as high as 27 points in the second half.

Myke Henry made one of two free throws with 6 seconds left and Meyers Leonard blocked a shot just before the buzzer as Illinois pulled out a 57-56 victory over Northwestern. Leonard hit a free throw with 29 seconds left to put the Illini up 56-54, but Northwestern’s Drew Crawford tied it on a tip with 17 seconds remaining. After Brandon Paul drove but couldn’t connect, Henry was fouled on a rebound follow-up. He made one free throw but missed the second. Crawford rebounded and tried to drive the length of the floor, but the 7-foot-1 Leonard swatted the shot away. Leonard led the Illini with 12 points. Paul and Joseph Bertrand added 10 each. Shurna, the Big Ten’s leading scorer at 18.6 for Northwestern, had 17 first-half points but just the three in the second under tough defense from Paul.
Joseph Bertrand scored a career- and game-high 25 points to save Illinois in a 59-54 comeback victory over the Cornhuskers. In a sloppy game that that included 34 turnovers -- 20 by the Cornhuskers -- Bertrand went 11 for 12 and hit the game-winning shot with less than a minute to play on a smooth floater after gliding through the Cornhuskers and into the lane. The Cornhuskers were tied 54-54 and had the ball with 1:21 to play. But Toney McCray turned the ball over, setting up Bertrand, who hit his short floater and gave Illinois a 56-54 lead. The Cornhuskers had a chance at the other end, but Bo Spencer settled for a long jumper on the run that missed. Paul came up with the ball and, on the break, drew an intentional foul going to the basket. As Sadler argued the call, the junior hit two free throws to put the game all but out of reach at 58-54 with 21 seconds to play. Spencer led Nebraska with 13 points. McCray added 12, and Brandon Richardson scored 10. Illinois cleaned up its turnover problem in the second half. Both teams had a dozen in the first 20 minutes, but Illinois had just two in the second half. Nebraska didn’t score in the game’s first 4-plus minutes, giving Illinois a chance to race ahead, but the Illini muffed the opportunity. Illinois put up just five points in those first 4 minutes.
Brandon Paul scored a career-high 43 to lead the Illini past the No. 5 Buckeyes 79-74. The most important of Paul’s shots was an off-balance 3-pointer that, with 43 seconds left, gave Illinois a 74-70 lead that all but finished the Buckeyes. Paul scored the final 15 points for the Illini. Ohio State led 39-34 at halftime, and was up 64-61 with just over five minutes to play. But with the game tied at 66 with just over two minutes to play, Joseph Bertrand swiped the ball from William Buford, putting the ball in Paul’s hands for a baseline 3-pointer that put the Illini up 69-66. Paul’s 43 points was the third-highest scoring performance in Illini history and he tied a school record with eight 3-pointers. He also had a team-high eight rebounds. Leonard added 14 for Illinois and Bertrand and D.J. Richardson scored 10 each. Deshaun Thomas scored 23 points and Jared Sullinger added 21 for Ohio State. Ohio State looked ready to put the Illini away early in the second half, stretching its lead to 48-37 in the opening two minutes. Illinois ran off its own 7-0 run, pulling to with two at 48-46 on a 3-pointer by Richardson. Ohio State went up 52-46 on a short turnaround jumper by Sullinger over Leonard with 14:25 left in the game. The Illini then scored eight straight, taking the lead 55-54 with a baseline jumper by Leonard with 11:18 to play. On Illinois’ next possession, Paul drew what the officials judged to be an intentional foul by Craft, sinking two of his three shots and giving the Illini a 57-54 edge with just under 11 minutes left. Buford answered a long miss by Paul with two points on outside jumper that tied the game again at 61. Then, after a Leonard turnover, he drained a 3-pointer for a 64-61 Ohio State lead with 6:18 to play.

Tim Frazier hit a floater in the lane with 8 seconds left and Jermaine Marshall blocked Sam Maniscalco’s layup at the buzzer to give Penn State a 54-52 upset of No. 22 Illinois. Frazier finished with 12 points and nine assists for the Nittany Lions, who ended a three-game losing skid. Off a timeout, Frazier drove at the top of the key before Jon Graham’s pick freed him from hounding defender Brandon Paul. The Illini lost for the first time since re-entering the AP Top 25 this week. They had a short stay atop the Big Ten as the league’s lone one-loss team in conference play. Paul had 20 points to pace the Illini, while Meyers Leonard added 15. The Illini chipped away at a nine-point deficit several times in the second half thanks in part to better ball movement. Paul’s 3 from the left wing with 39 seconds left tied the game at 52. But Illinois couldn’t break through after shooting 33 percent in the first half and going scoreless for an 8-minute stretch spanning both periods. Illinois shot 34 percent (17 of 49) for the game. Cammeron Woodyard finished with 17 points for Penn State, while Marshall finished with seven points and five rebounds. Illinois’ poor start from the field warmed Nittany Lions fans hoping to witness another tight game with the Illini on a chilly, snowy night in Happy Valley. Five of the last eight games in the series have been decided by two points or less.
Jordan Taylor struggled with his offense and headed to the locker room at halftime with five points on 2-of-6 shooting in the face of some tough defense by Illinois. But when it mattered most, Taylor found himself with the ball, driving across the lane as the shot clock wound down with under a minute to play. The senior hit a midrange jumper that gave the Badgers a five-point lead and that bit of breathing room was enough for Wisconsin to hold on for a 67-63 victory over the Illini. Joseph Bertrand added 15 points for Illinois. Jared Berggren had 18 points for the Badgers and it was his defense that limited Leonard’s opportunities. Illinois took a 50-46 lead with just over 9 minutes to play on a jumper by Leonard, but the Badgers went on a 7-0 run to retake the lead. Taylor hit a short jump shot, Mike Bruesewitz made a 3-pointer and Ben Brust added a fastbreak layup that put the Badgers up 53-50. The Badgers finished with 10 second-chance points. The Illini tied the game at 53-53 with 5:16 to play on a basket by Bertrand, but a jumper by Brust put the Badgers up for good, 55-53, with just over 5 minutes left. D.J. Richardson added 13 points for the Illini and Paul, two games removed from a 43-point night against the Buckeyes, had 10. While Taylor struggled early for the Badgers, Bertrand found his shooting stroke midway through the first half, and finished with 12 points over the first 20 minutes. They included two on a drive and short jumper just before the buzzer that tied the game at 26-26.
Chip Armelin scored a season-high 14 points, and Austin Hollins highlighted a whirlwind comeback in the final minutes to finish with 14 points as Minnesota defeated Illinois 77-72 in overtime. Andre Hollins had 14 points to help the Gophers prevail despite shooting only 18 for 29 from the free-throw line after halftime. Brandon Paul had 22 of his 28 points after the break for the Illini, who surged ahead on a series of slick layups by Paul. But Meyers Leonard, who finished with 17 points and 13 rebounds, committed a costly fifth foul with 4 seconds left to give Austin Hollins a three-point play that tied the game.

Brandon Paul made two foul shots that gave Illinois the lead with 45 seconds to play, then missed the front end of two 1-and-1s in the Illini’s 42-41 win over No. 9 Michigan State. The shooting - 32.6 percent for Illinois and 24.1 percent for Michigan State - was so bad that players suggested the ball may have had too much air in it. The win ended a three-game losing streak for the Illini. The loss cost the Spartans a chance to move into first place in the Big Ten with No. 3 Ohio State. Spartans forward Draymond Green spent much of the game on the bench with foul trouble, then was helped from the court with what appeared to be an injury to his left knee with just under 4 minutes to play. He didn’t return. Green finished with five points and eight rebounds in 16 minutes. Keith Appling, the other half of the two Izzo singled out, had four points and four rebounds to go with five turnovers. Paul led Illinois with 18 points. He scored 13 of Illinois’ 20 second-half points, but was 6 of 17 from the field. He was 5 of 9 from the free throw line and the Illini finished 9 of 17. After burying those two late free throws, his misses on the 1-and-1s that followed gave the Spartans - with Green on the end of the bench wincing in pain - a chance to steal the game with 11 seconds to play. But down 42-40, Michigan State’s Derrick Nix missed the first of his two free throws. Appling then missed a driving shot with 2 seconds left, the final chance for the Spartans. With 2:09 left and Michigan State up 40-37, Illinois freshman Tracy Abrams hit a 3-pointer to tie the game.
Brandon Paul scored 22 points, but John Shurna scored 24 points to lead Northwestern past the Fighting Illini 74-70. Reggie Hearn added 20 points on 7 of 8 shooting for the Wildcats, who shot 60 percent from the floor to win back-toback Big Ten games for the first time this season. Meyers Leonard tallied 21 points for Illinois and was 10 of 12 from the field, making his first nine shots. Northwestern opened the game with four quick 3-pointers to take an 18-9 lead, but a driving layup from Tracy Abrams topped a 20-11 run for Illinois to tie the game at 29. Illinois didn’t hold a lead until 16 minutes left in the second half, and an Abrams jumper with 5:17 left tied the score at 56-56, but Northwestern went on a 16-8 run from there to take control.
The Fighting Illini committed 30 fouls and frittered away their chance by giving up a late 15-6 run that allowed No. 23 Indiana to pull away for an 84-71 victory. D.J. Richardson rediscovered his shooting touch, finishing with 19 points, Brandon Paul added 13 points bug struggled from the field, shooting just 4 of 11. Sophomore center Meyers Leonard picked up three fouls in the first 7 1/2 minutes of the second half, going to the bench with four fouls. He fouled out with 3:09 to go after scoring 17 points. Fouls were a common theme, as three Illini fouled out and Indiana went 35 of 42 from the free throw line. Indiana’s Cody Zeller finished with 22 points, five rebounds and went 5 of 8 from the field and 12 of 14 from the free throw line. Victor Oladipo and Christian Watford had 18 points and Jordan Hulls finished with 15 points and seven assists. Hulls’ 3-pointer broke a 46-46 tie. Zeller then drew a foul on a dunk and completed the three-point play to give Indiana a 52-46 lead. After Watford grabbed a loose ball and called time out, Zeller drove in for a layup to make it 54-46 with 15:24 to play. Illinois responded with 3s from Paul and Richardson on consecutive possessions. Paul followed that with a layup, then hit 1 of 2 free throws to get the Illini within 57-55 with 10:58 to go. With Illinois within 62-59, Zeller and Oladipo changed the equation by drawing fouls. They combined to make 5 of 6 free throws, starting the late 15-6 run that gave Indiana a 77-65 lead with 4:49 to go.

Tim Hardaway Jr. scored 15 points and Evan Smotrycz added 13, helping No. 22 Michigan remain unbeaten at home with a 70-61 win over Illinois. Trey Burke added 14 points for the Wolverines, but it was Smotrycz and Hardaway who provided a big lift by shaking off their shooting slumps in the first half. Hardaway entered the game shooting 19 percent from 3-point range in conference play. Smotrycz wasn’t much better at 24 percent, but they each went 2 for 2 from beyond the arc before halftime. Brandon Paul led Illinois with 21 points and Tyler Griffey added 18. Hardaway gave the Wolverines a 10-8 lead with a 3-pointer from the left wing, and he later rattled in a shot from the baseline - after Smotrycz had stolen an Illinois pass - to make it 25-20. Smotrycz made a nice backdoor pass to Matt Vogrich for an easy basket, then added a 3-pointer of his own to make it 30-21. Michigan was ahead 37-31 at halftime and pushed the lead to double digits early in the second. It was 53-44 after Paul made a 3-pointer for Illinois, but Vogrich connected from long distance for the Wolverines and Jordan Morgan scored to put Michigan up by 14. Illinois went on a 7-0 run to cut the lead in half, but Morgan broke up Paul’s pass into the post, and Hardaway made a layup in transition to make it 60-51. Illinois center Meyers Leonard, who at 7-foot-1 had at least a 5-inch height advantage over every Michigan starter, was in foul trouble early and finished only with five points, although he did have 12 rebounds. The Illini had 14 offensive rebounds to Michigan’s six but couldn’t take advantage. Zack Novak scored 12 points for Michigan.
Robbie Hummel scored 19 points and three other Boilermakers scored in double figures, helping Purdue hold off struggling Illinois 67-62. Lewis Jackson and D.J. Byrd added 13 points each and Terone Johnson scored 12 for Purdue. The Illini repeatedly closed to within two over the game’s final 10 minutes. But the Boilermakers found a way to climb away every time. The last came on Hummel’s free throw with 19.5 seconds to play that put the Boilers up 65-62. With Illinois forced to foul, Hummel then sank two more. Freshman Tracy Abrams led Illinois with a career-high 22 points. Brandon Paul added 19 points. Illinois has lost seven of eight while Purdue has won two straight to stay in the top half of the Big Ten.
Bo Spencer scored 27 points and Nebraska used a 36-4 run to roll over Illinois 80-57. The Cornhuskers snapped a four-game losing streak and sent the Illini to their fifth consecutive loss. Joining Spencer in double figures were Caleb Walker with 13 points and Brandon Richardson with 12. D.J. Richardson led Illinois with 15 points. Nebraska jumped in front with a 17-2 run to close the first half. The Huskers held the Illini without a basket for more than 7 minutes and forced six turnovers. The Nebraska spurt continued after intermission. The Huskers outscored Illinois 19-2 to open the second half, going up 52-28 on Mike Fox’s 3-pointer with 14:33 remaining. Nebraska’s biggest lead was 32 on Spencer’s layup, which made the score 68-36 with 7 minutes left. Nebraska made 56 percent (30 of 54) and outscored Illinois by 10 in the paint.

Deshaun Thomas scored 19 points and No. 8 Ohio State regained its shooting touch by hitting 65 percent from the field, rolling past Illinois 83-67 to remain in the thick of the Big Ten race. William Buford, maligned for his recent poor shooting, had 17 points on 7 of 9 from the field, and Aaron Craft added 11 points to go with five assists. Meyers Leonard had 21 for Illinois. The game was a dramatic turnaround for Brandon Paul, who had 43 points in Illinois’ 79-74 stunner over then-No. 5 Ohio State on Jan. 10. Paul almost destroyed the Buckeyes by himself, making 11 of 15 shots from the field - including 8 of 10 3-pointers - and 13 of 15 free throws. But on this night, he managed just nine points on 2 of 9 shooting.
Meyers Leonard had 22 points and 14 rebounds off the bench as Illinois defeated Iowa 65-54 to end a six-game losing streak. The Illini hadn’t won in February and had lost nine of 10 since defeating Ohio State in early January. Brandon Paul added 17 points and D.J. Richardson scored 12 for Illinois. Leonard had 15 points by halftime. Matt Gatens powered the Hawkeyes with 22 points and 5 of 6 shooting from 3-point range. But Gatens was held in check by Paul in the second half, scoring just seven points. Illinois led 34-23 at the break and weathered a Hawkeye run that closed the gap to 38-34 early in the second half.
Illinois was down by eight at halftime and by all rights No. 13 Michigan’s lead should have been more. But the Illini clawed back and pulled to within a point with 15:37 to play and, with momentum on their side, looked ready to make a run toward their second straight win. Three times over the next six minutes, though, chances to either tie the game or take the lead slipped through Illinois’ hands. And Tim Hardaway and the Wolverines - who never trailed - put Illinois away 72-61. Hardaway led the Wolverines with 25 points and 14 rebounds and Trey Burke added another 21 points for the Wolverines’ first win in Champaign since 1995. Michigan turned to Burke in the first half and he answered with 14 points. And when the Illini slowed him down, the Wolverines looked to Hardaway in the second. The sophomore was 6 for 7 from the field - including all four of his 3-pointers - and was 5 for 6 from the free throw line. Down 35-27 at the half, Illinois opened the second half a 12-5 run, half of it three straight short-range buckets from the 7-foot-1 Meyers Leonard. That pulled the Illini to within a point with 15:37 left in the game. But missed jump shots by Brandon Paul - who had 15 points on the night - and Sam Maniscalco and a free throw miss by Paul all cost Illinois chances to tie or lead. Then Hardaway put some distance between the teams.

#14/15 Wisconsin 70, Illinois 56
March 4, 2012 // Kohl Center, Madison, Wis. Senior Jordan Taylor scored 16 points in his final home game, helping No. 14 Wisconsin beat Illinois 70-56. Josh Gasser added 16 points and eight rebounds for Wisconsin. The Badgers honored Taylor and fellow senior Rob Wilson in their final Kohl Center appearances. Brandon Paul had 22 points for Illinois. Illinois had only three assists, a season-low. It was the 265th victory at Wisconsin for Badgers coach Bo Ryan, tying Harold “Bud” Foster for most wins in the program’s history. Wisconsin came into Sunday’s game allowing an NCAAbest 51.8 points per game, and they looked every bit like the nation’s top defensive team as they held the Illini to only 18 points in the first half. The Badgers took away whatever fight was left in the Illini early, hitting five of their first nine 3-point attempts as they charged to a 22-9 lead. The Illini got a buzzer-beating 3-pointer by Paul at the end of the half, one of the few highlights of the opening 20 minutes, but still went into halftime trailing 31-18 - their lowest scoring output in a half all season.

Iowa 64, Illinois 61
March 8, 2012 // Bankers Life Fieldhouse, Indianapolis, Ind.
Matt Gatens scored 20 points to help Iowa defeat Illinois 64-61 in the first round of the Big Ten tournament. D.J. Richardson missed a 3-pointer in the closing seconds that would have tied the score. Meyers Leonard had 18 points and six rebounds and Richardson and Joseph Bertrand added 11 points each for Illinois. Brandon Paul, Illinois’ top scorer, finished with four points on 2-for-11 shooting and committed seven turnovers. Aaron White had 13 points and nine rebounds for eighthseeded Iowa. Illinois shot well early and jumped to a 24-19 lead. Richardson’s 3-pointer as time expired in the first half gave the Fighting Illini a 31-27 lead at the break. Just as Illinois appeared ready to create some space after a nice baseline drive and baby hook shot by Leonard pushed its lead to 44-37, Iowa quickly recovered. A 3-pointer by Gatens, then a steal and dunk by Gatens cut Illinois’ led to two. Melsahn Basabe’s dunk with just over 12 minutes left tied the score, and then a put-back by White gave Iowa a 48-46 lead. Iowa stretched the advantage to 57-50 on a jumper by Gatens, and the Hawkeyes remained ahead into the final minute. Iowa led 60-56, and Illinois had the ball. But Paul threw the ball right to Iowa’s Roy Devyn Marble on the inbounds pass. Marble was fouled but missed the free throw. But White, playing with four fouls, grabbed the rebound. Gatens was fouled with 37.6 seconds left, and he made both free throws to put Iowa up 62-56. Bertrand drained a 3-pointer to cut Iowa’s lead to 62-61 with 16.1 seconds left. But Gatens made two more free throws to set up Illinois’ final possession.

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 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.

Bruce Weber was hired at Illinois on April 30, 2003, succeeding Bill Self, who had left to become head coach at Kansas. Weber arrived in 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. In his first season, Weber led the Illini to an outright Big Ten championship, NCAA Sweet 16 appearance, and final record of 26-7. Weber earned consensus National Coach of the Year honors in his second season in 2005, directing Illinois to its first-ever appearance in the national championship game and to the Final Four for the first time since 1989. The Illini went 37-2, tying the NCAA record for wins a season (since broken). Illinois won a second consecutive outright Big Ten title, also won the Big Ten Tournament, and received the overall No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. Illinois won its first 29 games of the season, stood atop the national polls for 15 straight weeks, and was ranked No. 1 in the final 2005 Associated Press poll. Weber’s 2006 Illini squad again won 26 games and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. The Illini also made NCAA Tournament appearances under Weber in 2007, 2009 and 2011. Weber was not retained following the 2012 season. He is now the head coach at Kansas State.

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 700 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 the Assembly Hall. Not only is the Orange Krush considered one of the nation’s premier basketball student sections, it also 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 $2 million to charity. The Orange Krush Foundation is almost entirely studentrun and has donated funds to worthy causes including The V Foundation for Cancer Research, The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, Make-A-Wish Foundation, Coaches vs. Cancer and the Developmental Services Center. In addition, the Orange Krush Foundation also funds scholarship. Krush created the Matthew Heldman Memorial Scholarship 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. 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:

university of illinois athletes of the year
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.
