Fighting lllini Basketball u KlVUliSM C/ : ILLINOIS WBB I HE UNIVERSITY AT A GLANCE "^^^^W HiEi T +■ j- h^^^^^iB m*L * T *BB . nii The Krannerf Center for the Performing Arts is comprised of four individual theaters, which host more than 275 performances each year. Since its founding in 186", the University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign has earned a reputation as an institution of international stature. Its distinguished faculty, outstanding resources, breadth of academic programs and research disciplines, and large and diverse student body constitute an educa- tional community ideally suited for scholarship and research. Known internationally for its achievements in research and graduate study, the University enrolls some 9,000 graduate and professional students in more than 100 disciplines, and attracts some $200 million a year in private, state, and federal grants and contract appropriations. In recent years, a significant amount of this support has been directed toward the creation and development of major centers for advanced research and study, including more than $100 million for the National Center for Supercomputing Applications and the Center for Supercomputing Research and Development. To- gether, these two centers have established the University as a recognized world leader in the fields of supercomputing architec- ture, design, and applications. In 1989, the University inaugurated the Arnold O. and Mabel M. Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology. The most visible example of the University's commit- ment to inter-disciplinary stud> r , the institute brings together investiga- tors from several disciplines for the study of human and artificial intelligence. The University's research mission shares prominence with a fundamental commitment to undergraduate education. Nearly 26,000 undergraduate students are enrolled in 1 undergraduate divisions, together offering more than 4,000 courses in more than ISO fields of study. The divisions include the College of Agriculture. College of Applied Life Studies. College of Commerce and Business Administration. College of Commu- nications, College of Education, Did you know . . . ■ . . . Nearly 26,000 under- graduate students are enrolled in 10 undergraduate divisions attheUI? ■ . . .

College of Engineering. College of Fine and Applied Arts, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Institute of Aviation, and School of Social Work. About 30 percent of the campus' graduates choose to continue their education in graduate or professional schools. Typically, 83 percent of graduates who apply- to law school are accepted; 75 percent are accepted to medical school. Academic resources on the campus are among the finest in the world. The University of Illinois Library at Urbana-Champaign is the third-largest academic collection in the nation, housing more than 1 3 million items in the main library and 35 departmental libraries. Only Harvard and Yale have larger collections. The library's computer- ized cataloging svstem was the first Fighting Mini Basketball in the world to serve as the primary access to a large academic library. Users can access the library's collections from more than 200 computer terminals placed through- out the campus. In recent years, the University has entered into cooperative agreements with such corporations as IBM, AT&T, Apple, and Zenith, placing 8,000 computer terminals in classrooms, residence halls, and campus libraries for use in class- room instruction, study, and research. A great deal of teaching and learning takes place off campus as well. Through the Cooperative Extension Service, for example, the University manages programs in agriculture, urban and rural revital- ization, youth development, and more — taking knowledge into homes and workplaces throughout the state and serving an estimated 700,000 citizens annually. Through the Office of Continuing Education and Public Service, the University offers regular academic courses off campus and via correspondence, and maintains professional develop- ment programs with business and industry, social agencies, schools, professional societies, and govern- ment officials. Among the University's most significant resources is its talented and highly respected faculty. More than 80 faculty members belong to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the National Academy of Sciences, or the National Academy of Engineering. Ten scientists have received the National Medal of Science and SO have received the Presidential Young Investigators Award while on the faculty. Another prime indicator of the University's excellence is the success of its alumni. Eight gradu- ates have won Nobel Prizes for the United States, and another 15 have won Pulitzer Prizes. A major center for the arts, the campus attracts dozens of nationally and internationally renowned artists each year to its widely acclaimed Krannert Center for the Performing Arts. Designed by alumnus Max Abramovitz, an architect of New York City's Lincoln Center, the facility 7 has four indoor theaters and an outdoor amphitheater. Together, they host more than 275 perfor- mances each year, including those by major symphony orchestras, classical and modern ballet compa- nies, and individual artists such as Luciano Pavarotti, Jean-Pierre Rampal, and Isaac Stern. The University also supports three major museums: the Krannert Art Museum, second only to the Art Institute of Chicago among Illinois public art museums; the World Heritage Museum; and the Museum of Natural History. Other major facilities include the Assembly Hall ( 16,321 seats). Memorial Stadium (70,053 seats), and the Intramural-Physical Educa- tion Building, one of the largest recreational facilities of its kind on a university campus. Located in east- central Illinois in the two cities of Llrbana and Champaign ( population 110.000). the University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign is the state of Illinois' flagship public university. The Student Union, at one end of the Quad, contains a bowling alley, pool tables, video games, a computer room, cafeteria and several meeting rooms. Fighting illini Basketball Campus Life Learning and participating are important outside, as well as inside, the classroom. And at the University of Illinois, the opportunities are as limitless in extracurricular arenas as they are in academic arenas. Housing? First-rate residence halls with good food, the nation's largest fraternity and sorority system, independent housing and a wide range of apartments provide broad choices of where and how to live. Activities? More than 700 student organizations provide an outlet for every interest, from the philanthropies of Volunteer Illini Projects to the rock music of student radio station WPGU. There are more than 40 student organiza- tions for minority interests. Sports and recreation? The Intramural-Physical Education Building is one of the largest complexes on any campus, with four gymnasiums, 23 handball/ racquetball courts, weight and exercise equipment, indoor and outdoor pools, tennis courts and more. The U of I has one of the most comprehensive intramural sports programs in the nation. If the great outdoors is more to y r our liking, the university's 1,500-acre Allerton Park includes sculpture gardens, formal gardens and natural woodlands. Culture and entertainment? The domed Assembly Hall seats more than 16.000 for rock concerts, ice shows, circuses, Broadway musicals and, of course, Illinois basketball. Beautifully restored Foellinger Auditorium on the Quad seats 1,750 for concerts, films and speakers. And the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts, "arguably the best performing arts facilities in the nation," according to the education editor of Time Magazine, holds four theaters for plays, dance and concerts by such famed names as the Chicago Symphony and Itzhak Perlman. Off campus? Champaign and Urbana, with a population of 110,000, offer shopping, restau- rants, movie theaters, night spots and many other big-city amenities. Yet, they retain a Midwestern college-town atmosphere. Studying and relaxing are two of the more popular activities on the Quad. Did you know . . . ■ . . .

I Fighting Illini Basketball CADEMICS The University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign is among the nation's leading public universities, enrolling some 26,000 talented undergraduate students. Its faculty, prominently represented in the most esteemed scholarly academies, is dedicated to the University's founding land-grant mission — providing an education that offers the most advanced technical and professional instruc- tion in the context of a broad-based education in the liberal arts and sciences. Students are admitted to one of the University's 10 under- graduate divisions that, together, offer more than 4,000 courses in some 150 programs of study. Some of the most popular majors at the Urbana-Champaign campus are: accounting, electrical engineering, architecture, biology, psychology and agricultural economics. The University of Illinois maintains the oldest agricultural test field in the nation. The Morrow Plots — now surrounded by the central campus — have been an experimental corn field since 1876 and have been designated a National Historic Landmark. The University's commitment to providing the richest possible educational environment is seen throughout the campus — from the nation's third largest academic library, to support for innovations in computer-aided instruction and nationally recognized programs and services for disabled students. The Undergraduate Library offers extensive instructional programs on using the library and its services, including library tours, computer workshops, reference services and term-paper research counseling. The University's progressive residence hall system provides a full range of programs and services designed to support each student s academic pursuits. Assistance is available to all students to help them make the Illinois graduates are some of the most sought after in the country. most of the vast resources. Student- athletes benefit from the special programs of the Division of Intercollegiate Athletics academic services office, and each receives the attention of a hill-time academic counselor. Academic services offers educational evaluation, advising, classroom performance monitoring, scheduled study halls, tutoring and effective use of the University facilities. The Llniversity of Illinois also administers an extensive study abroad program. More than 600 Illinois students study abroad each year in nearly 40 countries, including Japan, Great Britain, Brazil and China. F( )1K nving commencement .

Fighting lllini Basketball Illinois' Commitment to Success The goal of each sports program within the Division of Intercollegiate Athletics at the University of Illinois is to strive toward success. John Mackovic, UI's director of athletics and head football coach, has instituted a new commitment to success for Fighting Illini student- athletes. Among the needs which must be served are: 1) the student's objectives as a scholar; 2) the student's requirements as an athlete, and 3) the student's personal goals as an individual. This comprehensive balance of academic excellence, athletic achievement and personal well- being is stressed daily by Mackovic, his administrative staff and his coaches. Inevitably, a student- athlete's playing days will end, but with the help of lis unique program, each Fighting Illini athlete will be fully prepared for career and personal challenges ahead. Among the elements stressed by the academic services department to assure student-athlete success are counseling and tutorial services, a monitoring program and a state-of- the-art computer laboratory, which was put in place this fall. Athletically, the University of Illinois has long supported a broad- based sports program. Its coaching staff and facilities are among the nation's best. The UI's support units include excellent staffs for recruit- ing, equipment, facility mainte- nance, fund raising, publicity and promotion. Its sports medicine staff not only assists student-athletes in strength training and conditioning. but also in personal health mainte- nance. As important as the UI's commit- ment is to the student-athlete's performance in the classroom and on the field, it also considers the individual's spiritual and emotional needs, and, his/her career objec- tives. Fighting Illini student-athletes are afforded the opportunity to Forward Tom Michael spends time working in the athletic study hall. attend a variety of seminars during their collegiate experience, helping them enhance their post-athletic lives. Among the seminars offered are those in career placement, financial planning, time and stress management, sexual harassment, drug and alcohol education and player/agent relations. The strong relationships built within the vast Illinois alumni networking system provide excel- lent opportunities for all student- athletes, whether it be for summer jobs, internships or, ultimately, in career placement after graduation. Once the individual's career is established, the DIA asks for his/her participation in a follow-up program that allows current student-athletes to benefit from their predecessors' experiences. Former student- athletes are asked to return to campus tor seminars and discus- sions that serve to provide guidance and understanding for future graduates. While at the University of Illinois, student-athletes are encour- aged to participate in the DIA's community -outreach program. Expected to be in place soon is a cooperative effort between UI's student-athletes and the Champaign- Urbana school district. The plan calls for a group of athletes to be assigned to a specific school for the entire year to serve as role models. They might serve as informal instructors in the classroom, or assist teachers on the playground and on field trips. Numerous other community-outreach programs are already in place for UI's student- athletes, including a speaker's bureau. This commitment to success is not a one-time event for Ul student- athletes, but rather an on-going practice. Fighting Illini Basketball B OARD OF TRUSTEES The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois exercises final authority over the administration and governance of the University, within limits fixed by the Illinois Constitution and state law. Trustees are elected statewide by the citizens of Illinois in Novem- ber general elections. The nine elected members serve six-year staggered terms; three terms expire and are filled every two years. Board members serve without pay. The governor of Illinois is an ex officio member of the board. Two students, one from each campus, serve single-year terms; student trustee votes are advisory only. The student trustees for 1991- 92 are: Byron Mitchell (Urbana- Champaign) and Catherine Caporusso (Chicago). I he president of the board is elected annually, in January, from among the elected trustees.

Since then he has advanced the University's triple mission of teaching, research and public service in the pursuit of the goal of making the University of Illinois the best public University in America. His leadership at Illinois is marked by an exceedingly strong commit- ment to the human resources of the University and to the humanizing value of the University for society. Ikenberry has responsibility for all aspects of University operations, including campuses at Urbana- Champaign and Chicago, an enroll- ment of about 60,000 students, and an annual operating budget of more than $ 1 billion. Ikenberry received his doctorate in higher education research from Michigan State University in I960. He taught at Michigan State and at West Virginia University before joining the Center for the Study of Higher Education at Pennsylvania State University in 1969. He had risen to senior vice president when he was named president of the University of Illinois. He holds honorary degrees from Michigan State University, Millikin University, Illinois College and Rush University. He is also an Honorary Alumnus of Perm State. A holder of numerous corporate and civic board memberships, he is past chairman of the American Council on Education, the National Association of State I niversities and Land-Grant Colleges and the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. He is a member of the executive committee of the Association of American Universities. Ikenberry led the Big Ten Presidents Council from 1987 to 1990 and serves as the Big Ten representative to the National Collegiate Athletic Association President's Commission. Ikenberry lives with his wife, Judith, in the President's House in Urbana. The Ikenberrys have three sons. Chancellor Morton W. Weir Morton W. Weir became the campus' fifth chancellor in April of 1988. Weir joined the Urbana- Champaign faculty in 1 960 and has served in a variety of faculty and administrative posts since then. Before assuming the leadership of the campus, Weir served as vice president for academic affairs, the senior academic officer for both U of I campuses, at Urbana-Champaign and Chicago. Weir is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and member of the Society for Research in Child Development, Phi Kappa Phi and Sigma Xi. He has served as editor, member or com- missioner for a number of profes- sional journals and organizations. He currently is a member of the national advisory committee of the Ounce of Prevention Fund and is on the board of directors of Voices for Illinois Children. Weir received his bachelor's degree, with honors, from Knox College in Galesburg in 1955. He earned a master of arts in 1958 and a doctorate in experimental psychol- ogy in 1959, both from the Univer- sity of Texas at Austin. In 1977, Knox College awarded him an honorary Doctor of Laws degree. Weir is a native of Canton. He and his wife, Cecelia, have three children •1 Fighting Mini Basketball ■iSlATli ATHLUTICS D, /VISION OF INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS The forerunner of the Division of Intercollegiate Athletics (DIA), the University of Illinois Athletic Association, was chartered in 1892 as a not-for-profit corporation of the state of Illinois; it was charged with overseeing and conducting the University's intercollegiate athletic programs and associated support services, and operated as a separate entity. After the state legislature voted in June, 1989 to bring UI athletics within the University proper, the DIA assumed the functions and responsibilities of the Athletic Association. The Division of Intercollegiate Athletics began operations officially July 1, 1989. The Director of Athletics is the Division's chief executive officer, and reports directly to the Chancel- lor of the Urbana-Champaign campus. The Chancellor has final say regarding the athletic program in all areas except the budget and approval of major appointments. Those decisions rest with the University of Illinois Board of Trustees. The Athletic Board serves the DIA in an advisory capacity. It is composed of 19 members, 16 of i i which are voting members (eight faculty, four alumni, three students and one representative from the University's Board of Trustees); the three non-voting members are from the University administration. The faculty and student mem- bers are nominated by the I rbana-( Campaign Senate and scln ted b\ the < ham ellor for 1991-92 Athletic Board consideration by the President of the University and the Board of Trustees. DIA revenues are derived from three major sources: gate receipts from football and men's basketball, television rights fees for those two sports, and donations to the Fight- ing Illini Scholarship Fund.

MX Hammer, Ray Charles, Amy Grant. Broadway plays and Bill Cosby. That place is the Assembly Hall. One of the world's most unique arenas, the Assembly Hall has won world-wide acclaim for its architec- tural design — a design that has been used as a model for more than 125 buildings around the globe. The Assembly Hall was built between 1959 and 1963 at a cost of $8.35 million. The structure consists of two concrete bowls placed face to face; the 400-foot diameter of the dome makes it the largest of its kind in the world. Its circular seating arrangement makes the Assembly Hall an ideal place to watch an event; it gives each of the spectators (potentially 16,321 for basketball) an excellent, unobstructed view of the exciting action on the court. That capacity has been stretched to overflowing on 43 occasions. The all-time attendance mark was set March 1 , 1987, when 16,793 Fighting Illini fans enjoyed a victory over eventual national champion Indiana. Illinois has enjoyed great success in the Assembly Hall. In 29 seasons the team has won 77 percent of the games it has played (273-82 record). In fact, in a recent two-year period, the Fighting Illini went on a streak of 31 wins there. In 1990-01. Illinois averaged over 12.000 fans per home game for the 1 2th consecutive season: 21 "".003 tans passed through the turnstiles. In 1970-71, the Assembly Hall accommodated an NCAA record-setting 177,408 spectators (since broken), when all 1 1 home games were sellouts Last season. Illinois averaged The Assembly Hall was constructed between 1959-63 at a cost of $8.35 million. 13,563 fans per game in its 16-game home schedule. The Indiana game was a sellout. Fighting Illini Basketball u nai^m NIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS ATHLETIC FACILITIES With revenue generated from three major sources (football and men's basketball gate receipts, radio/ television revenue and donations), the University of Illinois over the years has been able to maintain and upgrade its athletic facilities, staying on par with the best major colle- giate programs across the nation. The Division of Intercollegiate Athletics is in a stepped-up phase of capital development. Recent additions to the athletic facilities during this Campaign for Excellence include new artificial turf on the Memorial Stadium football field, as well as an air-supported dome to cover it during the off season. The bubble," as it is called, allows for Zuppke Field to be utilized year round for such activities as postseason bowl preparation, in- tramurals, and spring baseball practice, as well as others. Other additions to Memorial Stadium include a nationallv-renowned football/training headquarters, featuring one of the nation's largest and most advanced weight training rooms, a sports medicine area, and athlete study halls. This has brought all aspects of the football program into one central area, thereby increasing efficiency and perfor- mance. The weight room, training rooms and athletic study halls are used by all varsity athletes. The team training table is also located in Memorial Stadium. All- you-can-eat meals are served daily in the varsity room. Football is not the only athletic- program receiving a boost from the new and improved facilities. Baseball begins its fifth season in the first-rate Illinois Field, which seats 1.500 and is targeted for an expan- sion to accommodate 5,000. The nationally-acclaimed track team is also primed for its fifth season in the $2.2 million dollar track and field stadium. Future expansion plans for this facility allow for up to 12.000 seats. During the fall of 1991. con- struction was completed on the 14-court Clinton C. and Susan A. Atkins Tennis Center. The $2.5 million indoor-outdoor facility opened in October. In 1990, Illinois' volleyball team took up residence in its newly-refurbished home, historic Huff Gymnasium. On the drawing board is an athletic administration office building, featuring a public gallery, U of I Hall of Fame, and offices for numerous Division of Intercollegeiate Athletics personnel. Also planned is a 5,000-seat multi- sports competition building, which would provide much-needed space for practice and competition in volleyball, wrestling, fencing, gymnastics and basketball.

Fighting lllini Basketball I RECTOR OF ATHLETICS JOHN MACKOVIC As Director of Athletics and Head Football Coach, John Mackovic brings a wealth of successful coaching and administrative experience to the Division of Intercol- legiate Athletics. His integrity, attention to detail and success on and off the field with the Illinois football team led to his appointment as director of athletics by the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois in December of 1988. Under Mackovic's leadership, Illinois led the Big Ten Conference with seven league titles (men's and women's track, volleyball, baseball, men's gymnastics) and one NCAA national championship (men's gymnas- tics) in 1988-89. In addition, the men's basketball team advanced to the NCAA Final Four. In 1989-90, Illinois captured two Big Ten titles (women's gymnastics and baseball). Mackovic's administration also can take credit for the department's aggressive campaign to improve the University's athletic facilities. The Clinton C. and Susan A. Atkins Tennis Center was opened in October. The refurbishing of historic Huff Gymnasium last summer gave the Fighting mini volleyball team a new home beginning with the 1990 season. One of Mackovic's proudest accomplishments as Illinois' athletic director has been the establishment of a total person" program for UI's student-athletes. The concept is a commitment designed to nurture Illinois' young men and women not only as athletes and schol- ars, but also to help them succeed as citizens in the community upon their graduation. Mackovic's expertise as a football coach at the University of Illinois speaks for itself. The fourth-year Fighting Illini mentor is widely recognized as one of the nation's premiere strategists, having been named the Big Ten Conference's Coach of the Year in each of his first two seasons, an unprecedented feat. During Mackovic's first three seasons, the Fighting Illini compiled a 24-11-1 overall record and an 18-5-1 mark in conference games. Ml three teams went on to postseason bowl appear- ances, with the 1989 squad emerging as champions of the Florida Citrus Bowl. Prior to arriving at Illinois, Mackovic served as president of the Cypress Professional Development Group, a consulting and training organization. He also is president of his own company, Yes, Inc. a service- related organization directed to motivational speaking with radio and television exposure. Mackovic also has been active in a number of civic and charity events, including the Champaign-Urbana March of Dimes. He also is a member of the Board of Directors of First of America Bank in Champaign. Mackovic was previously head football coach of the Kansas City Chiefs of the National Football League and at his alma mater. Wake Forest. Mackovic was an all-conference quarterback at Wake Forest and graduated in 1965 with a bachelor's degree in Spanish. He earned his master's degree in educational administration from Miami of Ohio in 1967. Mackovic, his wife, Arlene, and children, Aimee and John, reside in Champaign.

The 59-year-old Okay, Okla., native enters his 30th season of college coaching as the fifth- winningest (577 victories) active NCAA Division I coach. After guiding Illinois to its most success- ful basketball season ever (record 31 wins and NCAA Final Four appear- ance) in 1989, Henson is one of just nine coaches to have taken teams from two different schools to that late March-early April extravaganza. Henson has proven he can win year in and year out, regardless of the perceived talent level and regardless of outside expectations. Last season, Henson and his staff guided the Fighting Mini to a tie for third place in the Big Ten race, despite losing four of five starters from the previous season. Michigan Coach Steve Fisher recognized Henson's coaching performance after his Wolverines became Illinois' 20th victim of the season. In his postgame press conference at the Assembly Hall in February, he said, "I'm going to cast my vote now for Lou Henson for coach of the year in the Big Ten . . . Lou Henson, he's my national coach of the year for what he's done with this team. It's a phenomenal job." At Las Cruces (N.M.)

The Fighting Illini have also produced 500-plus Big Ten records for 1 1 years in a row; no other conference team has such a string going. The Orange and Blue also enjoy a streak of nine consecutive 20-plus victor)' seasons, the longest chain ever among Big Ten teams. Under Henson the Fighting Illini have also kept pace with the nation's most successful teams of the past decade. Illinois finished the 1990-91 season as the No. 10 team Fighting Illini Basketball Henson's Coaching History, Year- By- Year in the country in terms of whining percentage over the last 1 years (.727). Henson's teams also have put together the top winning percentage (.688) in Big Ten games over the last eight seasons. Henson's success has not been limited to his stay in Champaign- Urbana, however. He has a proven track record wherever he has lent his expertise. His teams have either tied or set school records for victories (in a season) seven times. It is no accident that Henson has fielded postseason-tournament caliber teams 18 times, including the last 1 2 years in a row, and that his teams have averaged more than 21 wins per season. Henson's basketball career began in his home town. After taking his skills to Connors (Okla.) Junior College and New Mexico State, he moved to a less familiar vantage point, the sidelines.

The final loss was to the eventual champion, UCLA, in the semifinals of the NCAA Tourna- ment. It was the third consecutive time the Bruins had knocked off Henson's Aggies. New Mexico went on to win its final game against St. Uufi -> ■ Bonaventure and finish third in the tournament. Members of that 19^0 quintet included three players who made names for themselves in the NBA: Sam Lacey (Kansas City Kings), Charlie Criss (Atlanta Hawks) and Collins (Chicago Bulls) On top of the four 20-win seasons at New Mexico State. Henson won 19 games twice and had only one losing season. Over his 29-year career, Henson has had just three losing seasons. Within two years of each, however, he had either won 20 games or led his team to a postseason tourna- ment. Despite the three years of disappointment John Wooden's teams handed Henson at tourna- ment time, it was Wooden's retire- ment that paved the way for Henson' s arrival in Champaign UCLA decided to replace Wooden with then-Illinois coach Gene Bartow. Henson was chosen to fill the vacancy left by Bartow, and rebuild a team that finished 8-18 the previous year. He was the third coach in as many vears for Illinois.

In his first three seasons Henson's combined record at Illinois was just two games over .500. From then on, he has never been fewer than seven games over that mark. Former assistant Tony Yates made recruiting inroads to Chicago, and Collins has strength- ened those ties, all of which have provided the foundation for a program that is generally considered one of the nation's best, year-in and year-out With the NIT final four appearance in 1980, a Big Ten co- championship in 1984 (after which he was voted ESPN's national coach of the year), eight consecutive NCAA tournament appearances and the Final Four trip to Seattle in 1989, the program has become one of the country's most consistently strong. Henson has always been a stickler for defense. His 1966 New Mexico State squad held its oppo- nents to 39 percent shooting from the field. For six of the last seven seasons, his teams have been either first or second in the Big Ten in at least one of the two defensive statistical categories (TG percentage or points allowed). Since he has led the Fighting Illini program, the opponents' combined field goal percentage is 44.4, while the Illini have shot 49.0. Henson earned his 500th career victory at Indiana Feb. 29, 1988. He is the 21st coach in NCAA history to manage that feat. His 5~ 7 " 7 wins rank fifth among NCAA Division I active coaches. In addi- tion, he has won more games than any other current Big Ten coach.

Despite fielding his youngest team in a decade at Illinois, Henson guided the Fighting Illini to a tie for third place in the Big Ten, after most college basket- ball observers had picked the team to finish eighth. Along the way, Illinois led the Big Ten in rebound- ing and extended its streak of upper division Big Ten finishes to nine (the longest in the league currently), its streak of plus-. 500 Big Ten seasons to 1 1 (also the longest in the conference right now), and its streak of 20-plus victor}' seasons to nine, the longest skein ever among Big Ten teams. Though the Fighting Illini were restricted from postseason competition, they proved that they were an NCAA Tournament quality team for the ninth year in a row. Can Henson work his magic again this season? If he does, it will have to be without the services of not only last year's co- captains and co-MVP's, Andy Kpedi and Larry Smith, but also without leading scorer Andy Kaufmann. Besides being the team's inspirational leader in 1990-91, Kpedi was the squad's top inside defensive player and most effective rebounder, minute-for- minute. Smith was the Big Ten's no. 2 man in assists (4.9 per Big Ten game) last season, by far the Illinois leader (144 assists for the season), and was the league's second-leading rebounding guard (5.8 per game). The loss of senior-to-be Kaufmann was a late, unexpected develop- ment after the 6-foot-6-inch forward fell short of academic requirements for eligibility this term. Kaufmann, who came within eight points of the Illinois single season scoring record last year, is expected to return to the team next season. This will be the first season in at least SO years that the Fighting Illini Deon Thomas is Illinois' top-returning rebounder have not had a senior letterman on the team. Although they also don't have a single three-year letterman (for the first time since 1987-88), they do have slightly more experi- ence than last year's team. Players on this year's squad have earned a total of eight varsity letters, com- pared with just seven for the "Young Guns" of 1990-91. Frontcourt Illinois will lean heavily for offensive firepower on returning All-Big Ten forward, Deon Thomas, a redshirt sophomore. Thomas, who played at Simeon High School in Chicago, more than lived up to his expecta- tions as a first year player in 1990- 91. He was Illinois' top field goal shooter among the regulars (.577, good for third in the Big Ten), and set an Illinois record for points scored by a freshman (452). Using his soft touch from close and medium range, he scored in double figures in 26 of his 30 games, and led the team in rebounding (6.8 rpg) while and posting five double- doubles (double figures in both points and rebounds). Thomas will be used in much the same role as he was last year, but will be expected to become a stronger rebounder with Kpedi gone. Henson on Thomas: "When Deon fractured his wrist working out last spritig (April 23). it really Fighting Illini Basketball "We're a team once again that has no true post man, so we'll continue to use a motion offense, with a couple of our inside players flashing in an out of the post area. We don't even have any prototype power forwards. Physically, our team won't intimidate anyone, but we'll attempt to lead the Big Ten in rebounding, just like we did last year - with an all-out team effort. " Illinois Coach Lou Henson was a blow to our team. He had a tremendous freshman year for us. but increasing his physical strength and endurance is a key to our team's success this year. Fortunately, Deou had been through adversity before and had overcome it with good concentra- tion and hard work. We think he'll be a major factor in Big Ten basketball this winter. " Two 6-8 players, Scott Pierce and Tom Michael, should vie for the starter's role at the other forward position. Both have logged about the same number of minutes of playing time in their first college season, but Michael may have an experience edge because of his redshirt season in 1989-90. Their other stats are also similar: Pierce averaged 4.4 points per game and 31 rebounds per game, while Michael averaged 4. 2 ppg and 2.7 rpg. Pierce, the only Fighting Illini player from outside the state (Euless, Tex.), is regarded as the stronger inside player of the two, while Michael presents more of an outside threat, so it is very possible that the two could split time based on game situations, opponents and other variables. Henson on Pierce: "Scott showed our staff some great qualities as a freshman. He wasn't afraid to work, and he wouldn t back down against some pretty tough inside people in the Big Ten. He needs to get stronger in the offseason, and his experience with the Big Ten players' tour of Scandinavia this summer should be very positive. " Henson on Michael: "Tom is another key player for us this year. Though he hasn't shown it that much in game situations, he is an outstanding long-range shooter. I feel confident that he'll get untracked this year, and that will certainly help our team. Tom iweds to improve his rebounding and defense. The degree to which he can accomplish this will have a lot to do with how successful Illinois will be in 1991-92." With just nine players on scholarship this season, freshmen Robert Bennett and Marc Davidson stand a chance of picking up some meaningful playing time in their first year. Both stand about 6-6 1/2 tall, and both are accomplished rebounders and scorers, characteris- tics, which certainly caught the eyes of the Illinois coaching staff. Henson on Bennett: "Robert is a good scorer from 1 5 feet and inside: he averaged about 23 points per ball game last year at Julian High School (Chicago). But Brooks Taylor will be a key player in the backcourt. Fighting Illini Basketball Rennie demons returns at point guard for Illinois. what sets him apart is that he is an exceptionally quick jumper. Talmadge Milan has clone a great job teaching him the fundamen- tals; we're really looking forward to working with Robert. " Henson on Davidson: "Any time you are the son of a coach (Marc's father. Don is athletic director and basketball coach at Aurora Christian), you bare certain advantages, or at least opportunities. You are likely to understand the game just a little better, and you tend to learn things earlier, just baring been around the game for a longer period of time. Marc knows the game, and he is a versatile player. He can play just about any posi- tion on the court. He is an excel- lent shooter ballhandler and rebounder, and is comfortable both inside and outside. Like Robert Bennett. I think he has the skills to really contribute this season. " Backcourt sophomore Rennie demons "We'll sorely miss the presence of Lorry Smith at the point. He did a tremendous job down the stretch of our Final Four season. His experience really helped to hold us together last year. But we're optimistic about our guard play this season. We're young, without a doubt, but we have more than adequate talent, and I think it will start to show as we near the start of the Big Ten season. " Illinois Coach Lou Henson would appear to be Henson's choice to start at point guard. The Springfield Calvary High School product made the tough adjustment from prep to Big Ten basketball last season, and. for the most part, looked good doing it. demons logged 835 minutes (third behind Andy Kaufmann and Deon Thomas), the most by an Illinois true fresh- man since Bruce Douglas and Efrem Winters played 1,016 and 977 minutes in 1982-83. Henson on Clemons: "Rennie is one of the best I've ever coached at penetrating with the basketball. Even though last year he just went to his right and the opponents knew it. he could still manage to score or dish off successfully most of the time. He's a better outside shooter than many people realize. If he takes more perimeter shots this season and meets with some success, that added dimension to his game should make him even tougher to stop. " Brooks Taylor has played both point guard and the second guard position during his first two seasons at Illinois, and is likely to be asked to do so again in this his junior campaign. If Clemons continues to be effective at point guard, the Taylor would probably be used at the point in spot situations. Taylor is expected to be in the thick of the competition at the other backcourt spot, along with Tim Geers and TJ. Wheeler. Henson on Taylor: "Brooks has been effective for us as a ball handler and defensive player for the past two years, and I see him playing more minutes this year. If he can increase his offensive production, he stands a good chance at starting quite a few ball games on the wing (the second guard position). " Tim Geers. who like Taylor prepped at DeLaSalle High School in Chicago, can play either the forward or guard/wing position. He has played sparingly in his first two seasons at Illinois, but could vie for time at either spot. Henson on Geers: "Tim is a good scorer: he can hit the three- point shot He can also handle the ball, lie really needs to work on his Fighting lllini Basketball defensive game. If he can make some improvement in this area, we'll be able to use him more. " Sophomore TJ. Wheeler is expected to provide some scoring punch when he is in the lineup at the second guard position. He missed the second semester of last season due to academic difficulties, but was able to practice with the team. The Buckner, 111., product should also be a help under the boards. Henson on Wheeler: "Were were times late last season that it would have helped us to have T.J. available to play. It would have been easy for him to slow down and not practice hard since he couldn't play in the games, but he didn't. He took advantage of the time, getting his academics in order and worked diligently to help himself and the team get better. We're glad to have him available again. He is an aggres- sive player. He shoots the three- point shot well, he goes to the boards tough, and he's one of our best defensive players. " The Schedule If Henson's troops are to achieve their goals of winning 20 games and getting back to post-season competi- tion this season, they'll have to hit the ground running in late Novem- ber. With no exhibition games (due to NCAA restrictions) for rehearsal, and just 28 regular season contests, it leaves very little margin for error. Of their 1 9 opponents, nine played in the NCAA Tournament in 1991 . "This will be another tough season for us," Henson said. "We are still short in numbers (just nine scholarship players), but we're rounding the corner. Our young players are starting to gain some maturity, and we've got a shot at Lou Henson and his staff annually face one of the nation's toughest schedules. "/ feel that, year-in and year-out, we play one of the toughest schedules in the country, and this year is no exception. It starts with one of the better non- conference schedules of any Big Ten team, with teams like Penn State, Temple, Missouri and Connecticut, and the double round-robin Big Ten schedule speaks for itself. " Illinois Coach Lou Henson another upper division finish in the Big Ten and a trip to a postseason tournament. I think those are realistic goals for this team."

Fifth-year head Coach Cy Alexander will attempt to help his Bulldogs rebound this year, but will have to do so without the sen ices of two-time All- MEAC performer Travis Williams, who led South Carolina State in both scoring and rebounding during the last two seasons. Jackie Robinson is the top returning big man for the Bulldogs The 6-foot-S-inch sophomore averaged 9-2 points and 6.4 rebounds per game last year, and will be counted upon as a team leader. He should be joined by former shooting guard Chris Felix in the front court. Felix will move to the small forward spot to boost the Bulldogs front court scoring punch. South Carolina State s strength in the backcourt is what faciliates the move for Felix. Senior Petey Faust, who averaged eight points and 5~ assists per game a year ago. returns at point guard, and should be joined by senior Anthony Higgmbotham or one of two sophomores.

They tied with the Fighting Illini for third place in the Big Ten and went 19-1 1 on the season. Four starters return this year, but the starter who doesn't return os All-Amcrican and NBA first-round draft choice Steve Smith Coach Jud Heathcote is expecting better offensive balance without Smith and is hoping that the team's overall experience will contribute to better defense. The Spartans will be looking to Matt Steigenga, Dwayne Stephens and Mike Peplowski for leadership, Michigan State should also benefit from the eight games it played over the summer in Australia.

IOWA LAST SEASON January 28, 1991 at Champaign Emotions were high for this matchup, as is typical for recent UJinois-Iowa encounters This was not a high-scoring affair- though- like the 1 18-94 Fighting Illini home victory over Iowa a year earlier. It was a ragged game, with b. >ih teams shooting their worst field goal percentage of the season. In fact. Iowa s 50 points were its lowest since the 19S4-85 season, and Illinois 53 points represented its lowest winning score since January of 1984. Illinois guard Larry Smith grabbed a career-high 13 rebounds in the game, and the Hawkeycs posted an Assembly Hall record low of just one assist in the game.

The other major factor in the Fighting Illini win was the visitors superior rebounding. The normally-strong Hawkeyes were dominated under the boards by Illinois, -41-26 The Orange and Blue victory snapped a two-game losing streak, and put the Fighting Illini just one win awav from the magic No. 20.

Since Coach Steve Fisher and his staff brought in what many basketball observers have called the best recruiting class in the history of college basketball, it could be a big season in Ann Arbor if the team can mesh effectively Michael Tailey, Michigan's leading returning scorer, appears to have a clear track for the starting point guard spot, but the other four positions are up for grabs. Filth-year senior Kirk Taylor, will be challenged at the other guard position by senior Rob Pelinka, sophomore Jason Bossard, and freshmen Jimmy King and Ray Jackson. Up front, returnees Eric Riley, James Voskuil and Freddie Hunter will be challenged by newcomers, including high school Ail-Americans Juwan Howard, Jalen Rose and Chris Webber. Michigan will be a versatile, talented team, and will be capable of a first-division Big Ten finish. How far the Wolverines go this season depends upon the adjustment of the talented freshmen to the college game, and how well Fisher and his staff can integrate the new players with the veterans Starters Returning/Lost: 4/1 Lettermen Returning/Lost: 12/2 Illinois returnees vs. Michigan G GS PPG RPG APG Best Performance R demons 2/2 9.0 6.0 1.5 T Geers i 0.0 10 0.0 T Michael 2/0 20 4.5 0.5 S Pierce 2 3 1.0 s B Taylor 3 2.7 2.0 1.7 D Thomas 2 2 130 6.0 1.0 14 pts., 6 reb., 2 ast. at Champgn ., 2/28/91 1 reb. at Ann Arbor, 1/26/91 4 pts., 7 reb. 1 ast. at Ann Arbor, 1/26/91 4 pts., 1 reb. at Ann Arbor, 1/26/91 5 pts., 3 reb , 2 ast. at Champaign, 2/28/91 13 pts , 1 1 reb , 1 ast at Champ., 2/28/91 Head Coach: Steve Fisher Athletic Director: Jack Weidenbach Sports Information Director: Bruce Madej Michigan Roster 1990-91 Stats Player Ht.

In 1991-92, Coach Steve Voder must count on a group of returnees, who started a combined 29 games and newcomers, including a recruiting class ranked 22nd in the country by Hoop Scoop magazine to overcome the loss of five starters and six lettermen. Leading the list of returnees is 6-foot-7-inch Carlton McGee. The sophomore tallied 5 ppg and 1.7 rpg in 26 contests last year. The backcourt is where Wisconsin will be strongest.

But look for sophomore Arriel McDonald, last year's starting point guard, to take up some of the slack. Up front, it appears that junior captain Dana Jackson and sophomore Randy Carter have the inside tracks for the starting forward positions, since both started several games .i year ago And in the middle, it appears that the 7-foot Martin will spell Ernest Nzigamasabo, although at times Haskins may use them together If Minnesota can overcome its lack of experience and the young players come along quickly, the Golden Gophers should be able to improve upon their ninth- place Big Ten finish and their 12-16 overall record.

The most notable of the returnees is Ail- American and Big Ten Player of the Year, forward Jim Jackson. But the Buckeyes guards from last season. Mark Baker and Jamaal Brown, also return Baker, the point guard, started 30 of 31 games Che missed the second game with Illinois due to an injury), and should have an excellent shot at All-Big Ten honors. Brown has started since he began his career at OSU, and his consecutive games in the starting lineup now number 95. Coach Randy Ayers biggest challenge will be to decide who will replace forward Treg Lee and center Perry Carter, both frontline performers in the forecourt Senior Chris lent appears u> have the inside track to start at power forward, since he started all 30 games at thai position two years ago. And "foot Bill Robinson should get the bulk of playing time at center, if he can avoid getting into the foul trouble that has plagued him in the past Starters Returning/Lost: 3/2 Lettermen Returning/Lost: 10/4 Illinois returnees vs. Ohio State GGS PPG RPG APG R Clemons 22 7.0 2.0 1 C T Michael 32 1 .3 1 .3 1 S Pierce 2 1 5.5 3.5 0.5 B Taylor 4/0 2.8 1.8 3 D Thomas 1 1 12.0 8.0 2 Best Performance 9 pis.. 4 reb., 2 ast. at Champaign, 2/20/91 4 pts ., 2 reb., 1 ast at Columbus, 1/19/91 7 pts., 6 reb.. 1 ast. at Champaign, 2/20/91 5 pts., 4 reb., 1 ast., at Champ.. 2/20/91 12 pts.. 8 reb., 2 ast , at Columb.. 1/19/91 Head Coach Randy Ayers Ohio State Roster Athletic Director; James Jones Sports Information Director: Steve Snapp Player Ht Wt.

OHIO STATE LAST SEASON January 19, 1991 at Columbus Ohio State's full court pressure caused Illinois' "Young Guns'' to set a record they really didn't want to set - a school record 32 turnovers in the 89-55 UI drubbing Even though 17 of those miscues came in the first half, the Fighting Illini trailed by only three points at the half. Part of the reason the score was so close was that Illinois had outrebounded the Buckeyes, 19-12, in the opening period. OSU responded with a 27-10 run in the first nine and one-half minutes of the second half, and the Buckeyes destroyed the Orange and Blue under the boards, 23-12, after the intermission. Jim Jackson led the Buckeyes, who shot 53 percent from the field, with 21 points, and Andy Kaufmann, who came off the bench to lead the poor-shooting Illini (37 percent for the game) with 14 points Ohio State (89) Illinois (55) ILLINOIS (55) FGA-M 3PM-A FTM-A Reb PF TP A TO BK S MIN Thomas 3-7 0-0 6-9 8 3 12 2 4 1 31 Michael 2-6 (3 2 0-0 2 1 4 1 ' 1 21 Kpedi 2-5 0-0 0-0 4 4 4 ' 28 demons 2-4 0-0 1-3 5 5 9 1 22 Smith 3-8 0-2 4-6 5 2 10 5 3 2 32 Kaufmann 5-12 0-3 4-4 4 4 14 2 5 1 25 Taylor 1-6 0-1 0-0 3 1 2 7 3 18 Pierce 1-2 0-0 2-2 1 5 4 ' 1 14 Geers 0-0 0-0 0-0 - 1 C ' 5 Kennedy 0-1 0-0 0-0 2 Spitz 0-0 0-0 2 TEAM 3 TOTALS 19-51 FG%: 0-8 373 17-24 FT%: 7 31 08 26 55 10 32 2 8 200 OHIO STATE (89) FGA-M 3PM-A FTM-A Reb PF TP A TO BK S MIN Jackson 9-16 0-1 3-4 5 2 21 7 3 1 3 31 Lee 4-8 1-1 4 4 9 1 2 2 21 Carter 3-8 0-0 7-10 11 • 13 1 5 1 1 31 Baker 5-10 6-7 3 3 16 2 6 2 35 Brown 2-3 1-1 - 4 5 3 2 14 Jent 3 6 1-3 1-1 4 4 8 1 ' 3 25 Robinson 0-0 0-0 2-2 3 3 2 2 19 Davis 3-5 1-1 0-0 2 7 2 - 1 13 Skelton 2-4 1-1 0-1 2 5 2 6 Brandwie 1-1 0-0 1-1 • C 3 4 Ratliff 0-0 0-0 0-0 1 1 TEAM 1 TOTALS 32-61 3-6 22-28 35 24 89 14 21 4 16 200 FG%: 3.35 FT%: .786 Half time score: Ohio State 30. lllino 27 Attendance: 13 February 20, 1991 at Champaign The second-ranked Buckeyes showed once again why they were atop the Big Ten, even without starting point guard Mark Baker, who didn't play due to an injur.- The Fighting Illini might have had a good chance to beat the Buckeyes, were it not for the fact that they were without the services of forward Dcon Thomas, who was nursing a sprained ankle sustained against Michigan State a few days previous.

Illinois 3 Sunday, March 10, 1991 at Champaign Illinois had just returned from a loss at Wisconsin, and wanted to end its season on a high note, since the team would not be playing in postseason action due to NCAA sanctions. Indiana had picked up steam coming down the final stretch of the regular season, winning four straight, and this win at Illinois helped boost its national ranking to No. 3. going into the NCAA Tournament. Just as they had at Bloomington in the Big Ten opener some nine weeks earlier, the Hoosiers raced to a big early lead. 1 1-0 The closest the Fighting Illini could come was a six points, 24-1S. with 6:2-1 left in the first half Illinois anemic -5-*5 shooting from the field and its dismal 5 accuracy from the free throw line, however, made the difference in this game Indiana 70, Illinois 58 INDIANA (70) FGA-M 3PM-A FTM-A Reb PF TP A TO BK S MIN Anderson 6-17 0-0 8-6 13 • 25 2 2 3 40 Cheaney 4-12 1-2 2-3 5 3 11 3 ' 25 Nover - -: 0-0 1-2 4 3 3 • • 6 32 Meeks "-2 1-1 2-2 4 3 5 6 2 • 55 G.

Illinois 25 Fighting iilini Basketball L HE BIG TEN CONFERENCE A meeting of seven Midwest university presidents January 1 1. 18 C )S at the Palmer House in Chicago, was the first development of what would become one of organized sports' most successful undertakings. Those seven men, behind the leadership of James H. Smart, president of Purdue Univer- sity, established the principles for which the Intercollegiate Confer- ence of Faculty Representatives, more popularly known as the Big Ten Conference, would be founded. At that meeting, a blueprint for the control and administration of college athletics under the direction of appointed faculty representatives was outlined. The presidents' first known action was to "restrict eligibility for athletics to bonafide. full-time students who were not delinquent in their studies." This helped limit some problems of the times, especially the participation of professional athletes and non- students'' in the university's regular sporting events. That important legislation, along with others that would follow in the coming years, served as the primary building block for amateur intercollegiate athletics. Eleven months after the presi- dents' meeting, one faculty member from each of those seven universi- ties met again at the Palmer House, and officially established the mechanics of the "Intercollegiate Conference of Faculty Representa- tives," or "Big Ten Conference" or "Western Conference." The seven universities were: the University of Chicago, the Univer- sity of Illinois, the University of Michigan, the University of Minne- sota, Northwestern University, Purdue University and the Univer- sity of Wisconsin. Indiana University and the State University of Iowa were admitted in 1899. Ohio State joined in 1912. Chicago withdrew in 19-i6, and Michigan State College (now Michigan State University) was added three years later in 1949. After a 40-year period of con- stancy in membership, the Big Ten recently expanded to 1 1 members for the first time. On June 4, 1990, the Council of Ten, comprised of Big Ten university presidents, voted to confirm its earlier decision to integrate Pennsylvania State Univer- sity into the conference. The Nittany Lions will begin play in the Big Ten Conference beginning next season. At the turn of the century, faculty representatives established rules for intercollegiate athletics that were novel for the time. As early as 1906, the faculty approved legislation that required eligible athletes to meet entrance require- ments and to have completed a full year's work, along with having one year of residence. Freshmen and graduate students were not permit- ted to compete, training tables (or quarters) were forbidden, and coaches were to be appointed by university bodies "at modest salaries." Football and baseball were the popular sports prior to 1900. The first "official" sponsored champion- ship was in outdoor track; it was held at the University of Chicago in 1906 and won by Michigan. Since then, there have been many different athletic events popularized on Big Ten campuses. Some, like football and basketball, became extremely popular, whole others, like boxing, fell by the wayside. Today, the Big Ten spon- sors 1 1 championships for men and 10 for women.

Illinois had lost four players who had completed their college eligibility, including 1989-90 Big Ten scoring champion Kendall Gill, and defensive stalwart Stephen Bardo. Part-time starters Ervin Small and P.J. Bowman were also gone. In addition, would-be senior Marcus Libert)- had opted for the NBA a year early. With the handing down of some NCAA sanctions in early November added in, even the most optimistic- Fighting Illini faithful entered the season with very modest expectations for the team. Enter veteran Coach Lou Henson. Even with the equivalent of less than one full-time starter back from the previous season, he worked his magic. Most college basketball analysts had predicted an Illinois finish of somewhere around eighth place in the Big Ten, but the Fighting Illini ended up tying Michigan State for third place in the conference race with an 11-7 record, and a 21-10 overall mark. It was the team's ninth consecutive upper-division Big Ten finish, its 1 1th plus-.500 confer- ence record in succession, and its ninth 20-plus victory season in a row. But it didn't come easily. Illinois opened up the season at the San Juan Shootout in Puerto Rico. The first game against the host team, American University, represented the first time a U of I basketball team played a regular-season game before the school's football team finished its regular season. The Fighting Illini defeated American-Puerto Rico, 103- 84, on Friday, Nov. 23, the day before the UI football team defeated Northwestern and became big Ten co- champions. Henson's forces ran into an unexpectedly powerful Nebraska team and lost, 100-"\3, in the second round of the tournament. No one became overly con- cerned, however, since Illinois came back with an 80-62 victory over Old Dominion to close out the eight-team .ill. in- Just after that Thanksgiving weekend trip, Illinois fans' worst fears seemed to come to pass. The Fighting Illini were clearly outplayed at home by the upstart Flames from the University of Illinois-Chicago. The 71-60 loss evened Henson's troops' record at 2-2. It took a few games for the Fighting Illini to show- some progress, even though they won their next two games with big scores. They opened the month of December with home victories over Eastern Illinois (106-87") and Wisconsin-Milwaukee (120-1 16) in double overtime. Henson was remarkably patient with his youthful team, even though its defense hadn't come together. Offensively, however, junior Andy Kaufmann showed flashes of his scoring ability that set records in high school. He tallied M) points against EIU, and -t6 points against WMU, numbers that held up all season as the Big Ten's top two individual scoring performances. Andy Kaufmann held the spotlight with the Big Ten's top two individual scoring performances. Illinois then played for the first time at Rec Hall in State College, Pa. It would be the first of many trips the Fighting Illini would make to Penn State, since the Nittany Lions are scheduled to begin Big Ten Conference play during the 1992-93 season. Penn State showed why it should fit into the Big Ten well. Bruce Parkhill's team outexecuted Illinois and won, 78-68, but the loss seemed to trigger something in the Fighting Illini. They returned home and put together a remarkable six-game winning streak, defeating Oregon State (112- 78) and Georgia Southern (85-67) to win their 12th Illini Classic. After cruising past Arkansas-Little Rock, 83-72, it was time to hit the road again. Illinois had played Missouri each December for the previous seven years in St. Louis, and had won all seven, even though the Tigers had produced some high-quality, nationally- ranked teams. Somehow the Fighting Illini left Mizzou fans scratching their heads again, nipping MU, 84-81, on the strength of SI percent shooting from the field, including nine three-point bombs. Many observers thought Illinois could win one of its late-December encounters with Missouri, Louisiana State and Memphis State, or perhaps two, with some extra good fortune. But the Orange and Blue managed to pull Fighting Illini Basketball In 1990-91 . . . . . . Illinois was 1 2-4 in games decided by fewer than 10 points. . . .

Illinois posted its 1 Ith-consecutive plus-. 500 season, longest currently in the Big Ten. . . , Illinois recorded its ninth-consecutive upper- division finish in the Big Ten, currently longest in the league. out victories in all three games. The excitement of the 102-96 home victory over Louisiana State was punctu- ated by 6-foot-0-inch guard Rennie demons' late-game driving layup over 7-1 behemoth Shaquille O'Neal. Illinois battled fatigue as well as a good Memphis State team in defeating the Tigers, 84-75, in a game delayed 24 hours by horrendous travel conditions between Cham- paign and Memphis. Red-shirt freshman Deon Thomas pulled down a season-high 16 rebounds in that game. The new year brought the Big Ten season and a heavy dose of reality for the Fighting mini. The January 2 tilt at Indiana was no contest at all, as Illinois appeared to have forgotten all the lessons it had ever been taught about defense. Bob Knight's team riddled the Orange and Blue with layup after layup all night in the 109-74 debacle, Henson's most lopsided defeat ever with the Fighting Illini. The home court advantage took on new meaning during the next two games because, although Illinois didn't play especially well, it managed to pull off two close Big Ten victories. Illinois defeated Purdue, 63-61, on a Deon Thomas tipin from behind the backboard with just four seconds left in the game, and topped Minnesota, 67-66, on a Rennie Clemons three-point play with just 3-2 seconds left. Illinois couldn't sweep the three-game home stand, though, and fell, 71-68, to defending Big Ten champ Michigan State. UI ran into a hot Ohio State ball club in Columbus two days later, and the Buckeyes showed why they would share the Big Ten title with Indiana. The Illini kept up with OS1' on the boards, but shot an anemic .373 from the field, and couldn't hit a single three- pointer at St. John Arena. UI set a team turnover record, committing 32 turnovers in that 89-55 loss. But Illinois bounced back again. Henson and his team put together their second six-game winning streak of the season, which included a 72-67 victory at Michi- gan, an ugly 53-50 verdict over Iowa at the Assembly Hall and unspectacular home wins over Wisconsin (70- 62) and Northwestern (73-59). The real thrillers of the set were a 59-56 victory at Purdue and an impressive 94- 74 runaway at Minnesota. The win at Purdue was Illinois' first since 1986. The Fighting Illini went 0-2 at Michigan State's new Breslin Center, with a 62-58 setback Feb. 16. Thomas sustained a sprained ankle early in the second half, which not only lessened UI's chances there in East Lansing, but also four clays later in Champaign against Ohio State. Illinois gave the high-flying Buckeyes a run for their money, but lost, 73-64. Ironically, it was in that Michigan State game that Thomas (with his 10 points) became the top freshman scorer in the history of UI basketball. What followed was one of the more satisfying Illinois wins in recent seasons. The Fighting Illini hadn't won at Iowa City since 198-1. In fact, it seemed that each year, they found a new way to lose. But the young team picked up its shooting touch, hitting on 56 percent of their field goals in the 79-74 triumph over the Hawkeyes. After the Orange and Blue hung on for a 68-65 win over Michigan at the Assembly Hall, Wolverine Coach Steve Fisher noted Henson's success during the season, saying the Illini mentor "has my vote for national coach- of-the-year." The win over Michigan was No. 20 on the season for the U of I. The Fighting Illini opened March with 91-81 win at Northwestern and discovered they had the inside track at finishing third in the Big Ten, a lofty' accomplishment for such a young team. Steve Voder's Wisconsin team took Illinois down a notch, however, as the Badgers dropped the visitors, 85-77. In that game Wisconsin shot 24-of-31 from the free throw line, while Illinois shot just 2-Of-4. With Illinois ineligible for postseason competition, the home finale with Indiana was, in a sense, a tourna- ment-type game. The Hoosiers dominated from the start, and the 70-58 win on that final day of the regular season pulled them into a tie with fading Ohio State for the Big Ten crown. It also dropped the Fighting Illini into a third-place tie with Michigan State. It was a very satisfying season for the over-achieving Illinois basketball team. Despite great odds, the Fighting Illini had kept intact the streaks of 20-plus win seasons, upper division finishes and plus. 500 records in the Big Ten. They had won 1 2 of 1 6 games decided by fewer than 10 points. They had broken the road-win barriers at Iowa and Purdue. They had placed the most players (tied with Ohio State) on All-Big Ten teams (three), and they had maintained their hold on the No. 1 record among Big Ten teams in conference competition over the last eight seasons, all with Coach Lou Henson's least experienced team in a decade.

A MCH WAD1UCU c HIE F ILLINIWEK One of the most dramatic and dignified traditions in college athletics is the performance of Chief Uliniwek at the University of Illinois. Since 1926, this symbol has stirred pride and respect in audiences at Memorial Sta- dium and the Assembly Hall Uliniwek (pronounced "ill-EYE-nih-wek") was the name of the loose confederation of Algonquin tribes that once lived in the region. The French changed the ending to "ois" in naming what became the state of Illinois. Uliniwek means "they are men." and former Illinois foot- ball Coach Robert Zuppke is believed to have suggested calling the UI symbol Chief Uliniwek. In 1926, Assistant Band Director Ray Dvorak con- ceived the idea of performing an American Indian dance during halftime of the Illinois vs. Pennsylvania football game in Philadelphia. Lester Leutwiler, a student inter- ested in Indian lore, was chosen for the role. Leutwiler's performance, done in a homemade costume, was re- ceived so well that he was asked to continue his dance through the 1928 season. Webber Borchers, the second Chief Uliniwek, was the first to appear in authentic American Indian regalia. He initiated a campaign to raise money to replace his homemade outfit with an authentic one. but with the Depression on, he received just $15. However, a Champaign merchant stepped in to fund the rest and Borchers was off. He recalled: "In the summer of 1930 I went, at my own expense, to the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. I hitchhiked out. called an Indian agent and explained my mission. He and an Indian trader called in an older Sioux Indian woman. She and two younger women made the suit." On Nov. S, 1930 in New York's Yankee Stadium. Illinois faced Army in the seventh game of the season. It was there that Borchers made the first appearance of Chief Uliniwek in that outfit. Since then, five different authentic outfits have been used by Chief Uliniwek. The one used in per- formances now was purchased in 1 983 from Sioux Chief Frank Fools Crow, and is topped by a headdress of turkev feathers. Chief Uliniwek appears at all men's basketball games, as well as women's basketball games and football games. Previous Individuals who have Portrayed Chief Illiniwek 1. Lester G.

Since then, the Fighting Illini program has grown to national prominence, gaining a place among the country's elite basketball programs. In the ensuing 86 seasons, Illinois has been at the forefront of the Big Ten conference, as well as the national college basketball world. In those 86 seasons, Illinois has produced a 1213- 662 record, one of the top-20 win totals in the nation. Its .647 all-time winning percentage in Big Ten games is tops among conference schools. The job of head basketball coach at Illinois has been a model of consistency throughout the 86 years. Only 13 men have served in the position, and there have only been six head coaches since 1923. The inaugural 1 906 team was coached by Elwood Brown and finished 6-8. 2-6 in conference. The first game in Illinois' basketball history was a 71 -4 romp over Champaign High School in Urbana. Brown left after one- season and was replaced by F.L. Pinckney. That 1907 season would turn out to be the worst season in Illinois basketball history. Pinckney guided the Fighting Illini to a 1-10 record, with a 0-8 conference record. The one victor}' marks the least wins ever by an Illinois team, and the winless conference record has also never been re- peated. Among the lowlights was a 42-3 loss to Minne- sota, marking the fewest points ever scored by an Illinois basketball team. With no place to go but up. the Illinois program welcomed its third head coach in three years when Fletcher Lane took over and guided Illinois to its biggest one-year turnaround in history. He posted a 20-6 record, 4-4 in conference play. Lane also left Illinois after his first and only season. He departed as the Fighting Illini's all- time leader in winning percentage at .769- Herb V. Juul took over for Lane and became the first Illinois coach to stay in Champaign for more than one year. His two-year record was 13-10 overall, and 10-10 in conference, good for fourth-place finishes both years T.E. Thompson took over for Juul in 191 1 and also stayed two seasons, finishing his career l-t-14 overall. 10- 13 in conference, good for fourth and fifth places re- spectively. The next eight years, from 1913-20, marked the first prolonged period of success in Illinois basketball history. Much of the success was due to head coach Ralph Jones, who had only one losing season during his eight years as head coach. He finished with an 85-34 record Illinois' best conference record to that point oc- curred in 191-4, when the Fighting Illini went 7-3 in the The 1915 team was perfect. The squad became Illinois' first and only team to go undefeated. Ralph Jones' 1915 team scored more than twice as many points as its opponents and won the conference title by a whopping three games over Chicago. The 1915 team started a three- year period in Illinois basketball history that has rarely been matched. Big Ten and 9-4 overall. That year set the stage for the 1915 season, arguably the best Illinois team ever. The 1915 team was perfect. The squad became Illi- nois' first and only team to go undefeated. Jones' 1915 team scored more than twice as many points as its oppo- nents and won the conference title by a whopping three games over Chicago. The 1915 team started a three-year period in Illinois basketball history that has rarely been matched. The arrival of the Woods brothers in 1915 had a lot to do with the success of this era. Guard Ray was named first team All-America all three years he competed (1915- 17), and brother Ralf, a forward, led the team in scoring in both 1916 and 191~ His brilliance at the foul line led to the establishment of the current Ralf Woods Award, given annually to the Fighting Illini player with the best free-throw percentage. Led by the Woods brothers, the 1916 team fell short of capturing another conference championship. The squad lost only three games, but all were in within the conference. Illinois finishing 13-3 overall, 9-3 in the con- ference. Two losses to Northwestern and a loss to even- tual champion Wisconsin dropped Illinois into a second- place tie with the Wildcats. Among the those two losses to Northwestern was Illinois' first-ever overtime game. Northwestern scored just two points in the overtime period to defeat Illinois, 23-21 , Feb 1 2 at what is now the Kenney Gym Annex. The 191 7 season would bring Jones his second and last Big 9 championship, this time tying with Minnesota for top honors. The 191" team also featured a starting guard named George Halas. The professional football pioneer and Chicago Bear owner and head coach was known on the team for his gritty defense and would be named captain of the 1918 learn before entering. the armed forces January 18, 1918. Fighting Illini Basketball Frank Winters took over the head coaching duties in 1921 and would only stay at that post for two years. His 25-12 overall career record would only yield two fourth- place ties in conference play. To replace Winters, Athletic Director George Huff looked to J. Craig Ruby, who had just completed his first year as head coach of Missouri. Known as one of the great tacticians of his time. Ruby favored a number of revolutionary rules change proposals, including advo- cating the elimination of the dribble to do away with stalling. Ruby's first three seasons at Illinois yielded three very good teams, which went 30-18 overall and tied for the conference title in 1924. After Ruby's first three years at Illinois his coaching magic wore off for almost a decade. It wouldn't be until 1935 that the Fighting Illini would finish in the top three spots in the conference again. The 1934 team set the stage for the 1935 champion- ship team when it posted a 13-6 overall mark and 7-5 conference record, good for fourth place.The only non- conference loss that season was a stunning 22-2 1 open- ing-game loss to St. Louis at newly-opened Huff Gym. The 1935 squad got off to a busy start. A season- opening double-header at Huff Gym before 6,205 fans Dec. 10 left Illinois at 1-1 to open the season. A young sophomore guard named Harry Combes scored the first points of the season and showed great speed. He would later become head coach for Illinois in 1948. The squad was only 5-3 after eight Big Ten games, but rallied to win its last four contests to tie Purdue and Wisconsin for the title. In 1936, Ruby's last Illinois team was 13-6 overall and 7-5 and tied for third in the conference. Combes, Jim Vopicka, and Robert Riegel combined to score more than half of Illinois' points that year. The man chosen to replace Ruby was Douglas Mills. He became one of Illinois' most successful coaches and administrators as well. In his 1 1-year tenure as head coach, Mills became the first Fighting Illini head coach to win or share three Big Ten championships. Mills Illinois coaching career began in stellar fashion in l c >37 with a tie for the Big Ten championship. With Combes, Riegel, and Vopicka back, Illinois had much of its firepower returning. Future major league baseball hall of famer Lou Boudreau made the biggest impact, how- ever, leading the team in scoring The 1938 season proved to be a tough year with the departure of many stars. Boudreau was still the leader and was named first team All-America by Madison Square Garden, hi the four years after the championship of '37, the best finish Illinois could muster would be third in 1 939 and a tie for third-place in 1941 . In 1941, Art Mathisen arrived in Champaign in what would precede the magical years of 1942 and 1943- Mills also took over as athletic director that year. Joining Mathisen in 1942 to form "The Whiz Kids" were Jack Smiley, Andy Phillip, Gene Vance, and Ken Menke. The teams of '42 and '43 captured the imagina- tion of the entire nation, and to this day The Whiz Kids remain one of the most storied teams in Illinois history. The Kids dazzled crowds everywhere averaging 58 points per game, while most teams were averaging in the low 40s. Illinois won back-to-back Big Ten crowns in '42 and '43. In 1943, the Fighting Illini went 12-0 in conference play, 17-1 overall. The lone loss was to Camp Grant at Rockford December 21 . Mills played mostly subs be- cause he felt it would be better for the team to lose a game at some time. The team was broken up March 1, 1943, when all five starters headed to active duty in the armed forces. All but Mathisen went on to play professionally, with Phillip becoming Illinois' only member in the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. Mills faced a major rebuilding job after the Whiz Kids departed. The 1944 team fell from the class of the Big Ten to 1 1-9 overall and 5-7 in the conference, good for sixth-place. Mills' last season as head basketball coach coincided with four of The Whiz Kids' return from military service. The largest home crowd in Illinois history, 7,785, jammed into Huff Gym to see their return December 6, 1946. The Whiz Kids only played the first half, building up a 49-13 lead on Cornell College. Two losses begin- ning the Big Ten race got Illinois into a hole out from which the team could never climb. The Fighting Illini won eight of its last 1 games, but could only climb to a second-place tie. After retiring from coaching, Mills retained his posi- tion as athletic director until 1966. Illinois tabbed Ham- Combes as Mills' replacement. Combes had been the head coach at Champaign High School. His success didn't end there. In his first nine- seasons at Illinois he won three Big Ten titles and com- piled an amazing record of 164-44 overall (.788) and 94- 30 in the Big Ten (.758). Combes' first team at Illinois, led by Dike Eddleman and Jack Burmaster, set a Big Ten scoring record with 1,530 points, en route to a 1 5-5 overall and 7-5 Big Ten finish. The next four years would yield three Big Ten cham- pionships, and only 10 conference losses. In 1949, 1951, and 1952 Illinois would finish third in the NCAA, with the latter two clubs losing two-point decisions in the semifinals Fighting Illini Basketball The 1940s "Whiz Kids" (left to right) Andy Phillip, Ken Menke, Art Mathisen, Jack Smiley and Gene Vance, remain one of the most storied teams in Illinois history. The 1949 team, led by Eddleman, Bill Erickson, and Walter Osterkorn, was Illinois* first 20-game winner since 1908, finishing 21-4. Illinois beat Yale, 71-67, to advance to a national semifinal showdown with Ken- tucky at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The Wildcats thumped Illinois. 76-47, forcing Illinois to de- feat Oregon State, 57-53. in Seattle for third place. A record for games won in a season was established in 1951, when Illinois went 22-5. including a dominating 13-1 in Big Ten play. Senior Don Sunderlage scored the most points by an Illinois player in a single-season net- ting 471 points, a 17.4 average. Illinois lost its only con- ference game at Indiana January 15. 64-53, temporarily putting Illinois into second-place. The Fighting Illini would win their next 10 games to beat out Indiana in the final standings by one game. Illinois again traveled to Madison Square Garden for the NCAA playoffs, beating Columbia, 79-71, and North Carolina State, 84-70, to set up another semifinal battle with Kentucky". In one of the most heart-breaking losses in Illinois basketball history. Kentucky nipped the Fight- ing Illini, - 6-~4. on a shot by Kentucky sub Shelby Linville with 12 seconds remaining in the game. Illinois once again rebounded for third place three days later, beating Oklahoma A&M. 6I-46, in Minneapolis. The biggest story of 1952 was the emergence of newcomer John Kerr, a center from Tilden Tech in Chi- cago. Kerr began his three-year reign atop the Illinois scoring lead with a sophomore-record 35~ points. Illi- nois again swept to the Big Ten championship and equalled the school record for wins in a season, this time going 22-4. The Fighting Illini headed to Chicago Stadium for the NCAA regionals. beating Dayton. 80-61, and Duquesne, 74-68, to advance to the semifinals again. This time, Illinois ran into an underdog St. John's club. The Redmen fought and clawed their way to a 61-59 win in the NCAA's first Final Four in Seattle. Once again. Illinois took third-place beating Santa Clara, 67-64, behind 20 points by Kerr. The next four years characterized a series of near- misses for Illinois, which finished second in the Big Ten in '53, '55, and '56. and tied for third in '54. Illinois 10-4 conference mark in '54 was only good for a tie for third, but Kerr shattered Illinois' single-sea- son scoring record by tallying 556 points in his senior year. He then departed on a 1 2-year pro career and be- came the first head coach of the Chicago Bulls in 1966. The 1963 season produced Combes' fourth and last Big Ten championship and 20-win season, when it posted a 20-6, 1 1-3 record. Downey exploded for an Illinois single-game scoring record with 53 points in a road loss to Indiana, as well as set the Big Ten records for points and field goals in a game. Fighting Illini Basketball Illinois was a game back of first place with only two remaining when the Assembly Hall opened its doors for the first time March 4, 1963. Illinois beat Northwestern in an exciting 79-73 nail-biter before 16,137 frenzied fans to stay within a game of first-place Ohio State. Even after Illinois edged Iowa, 73-69, on the last game of the season, the Fighting Mini would need an overtime loss two hours later by the Buckeyes at the hands of Indiana to grab a share of the conference title. Illinois then headed to East Lansing, Mich., for the NCAA playoffs. After beating Bowling Green, 70-67, Illinois was thumped by eventual national champion Loyola, 79-64. The 1965 season began with one of the biggest up- sets in Illinois basketball history. The Fighting Mini crushed defending national champion UCLA, 1 10-83, setting many Assembly Hall records. Combes would later call the game, "one of the best an Illinois team has ever played". Combes' last season in 1967 was one of incredible ups and downs, highlighted on the court by a stunning, 98-97, overtime win over No. 3 Kentucky in Lexington December 8. That year also included the uncovering of the "slush fund" scandal. Three Illinois players were disqualified as a result of the incident that eventually cost Combes his job. Star Rich Jones, junior center Ron Dunlap, and valu- able sophomore sub Steve Kuberski were suspended by the University of Illinois in the wake of the Big Ten in- vestigation into illegal payments to the players. Harv Schmidt, who played for the Mini in the 1950s, returned to Illinois to become head coach in 1968. Schmidt had been an assistant at New Mexico the three previous years but had no collegiate head coaching ex- perience. His seven year-tenure began with much more success than that with which it ended. The 1968 team was still stinging from the previous year and posted only Illinois' sixth losing season in his- tory, going 1 1-13 overall and 6-8 in the Big Ten to tie for seventh place. The team won four of its first conference games, but lost seven of its last nine. With the team's top five scorers returning, the Fight- ing Mini were expected to be better in 1970, but even Schmidt was surprised at the huge improvement that occurred. The club jumped to a 19-5, 9-5 record finish- ing tied for second in the conference. The performance earned Schmidt third-place in National Coach of the Year balloting. The 1970 team still finished tied for third-place in the Big Ten, but its record fell to 1 5-9. Illinois began the conference schedule 5-0 to move into sole possession of first-place at the semester break. However, the team would lose the next the five games to wipe out any Nick Weatherspoon led the Fighting lllini in scoring and rebounding in 1971 and 1972. chance of a conference title. That season Illinois set an NCAA attendance record, selling out all 1 1 home games in advance for an average of 16,128 fans per game. Stu- dents frequently camped out for tickets, and Schmidt encouraged the louder students to sit near the floor to help make more noise. After 1970, things went downhill for Schmidt. Crowds shrunk, the state's best high school players be- gan going elsewhere, the team lost more than it had in the past, and eventually the NCAA would put Illinois on probation. The 1971 team became Schmidt's second team in four years to finish below .500 at 1 1-13, 5-9. The most pleasant aspect of 1971 was the arrival of forward Nick Weatherspoon from Canton, Ohio, who stepped right into the starting lineup to lead the team in rebounds ( 10.6). "Spoon" would go on to lead the team in scoring and rebounding the next two years before playing eight seasons in the NBA. The 197-t season was a disaster. Illinois finished a dismal 5-18 overall and 2-12 in the Big Ten to tie for ninth-place. Schmidt was fired in the midst of a record 1 1-game losing streak and wound up 89-77 overall in his Fighting lllini Basketball seven years as head coach. To replace Schmidt, Illinois looked to Memphis State head man Gene Bartow. He was building a reputation as a coach adept at building programs from the bottom up. Bartow came in promising big things, but only a year later he was gone, accepting the head coaching job at UCLA. In his only year at Illinois, he recorded a 8-18. 4- 14 record, good for a tie for a ninth-place in the Big Ten. Illinois once again chose a coach known for turning losers into winners. It took Lou Henson a couple of years to establish his program in Champaign. The first three years were unspectacular, but paved the way for better teams to come. The 1976 team finished 14-14 overall and 7-1 1 in the Big Ten. The 77 squad was 16-14, 8-10, and the 1978 team finished as Henson's only sub -500 club at 1 3-14, 7- 11. Despite the poor record, the 1978 team signaled the arrival of Eddie Johnson and Mark Smith, two players who would lead the team into the 1980s and pave the way for Illinois' return to national prominence. In 1979, Illinois still finished seventh in the Big Ten but went 19-1 1. including an ascension to No. 2 in the nation after starting the year 15-0. Although the Fighting Illini went 4-1 1 from that point on, they still led the nation in defensive field goal percentage (.4O4). With everyone back for 1980, Illinois recorded Henson's first 20-win season at 22-13 to tie the school record for wins in a season. Illinois made its first post- season appearance since 1963, finishing third in the NIT. Illinois took another step on its ladder toward na- tional prominence in l c )81 when it appeared in its first NCAA Tournament since 1963- The Fighting Illini led the Big Ten in scoring for the second consecutive season and were again led by Johnson and Smith. Guards Craig Tucker and Derek Harper arrived to add backcourt punch, and Harper was named first-team Freshman All- America by ESPN and NBC. Illinois recorded its highest conference finish since 1973 in 1981, finishing with a 12-6 Big Ten mark, 21-8 overall record. That team was the best shooting team in Fighting Illini history with a 509 field goal percentage. The squad received a first-round bye in the NCAA Tour- nament and beat Wyoming, 67-65, in Los Angeles to advance to the regionals in Salt Lake City .where Illinois lost to Kansas State, 57-52. In 1983, Harper led the Big Ten in assists and steals, setting a school record for thefts with 67. By finishing 18-1 1 and getting another invitation to the NIT, it marked the first time in Illinois history that the Fighting Illini appeared in postseason play for three consecutive years. In smashing Long Island, 126-" 7 8, in the first round, Illinois set the mark for most points ever scored in a college postseason game. Dayton, however, beat Illinois, 61-58, for only Henson's fourth non-conference loss at Assembly Hall in seven years. One of Illinois' best groups of incoming talent ever arrived in 1983 Guards Bruce Douglas and Doug Altenberger, and forwards Scott Meents and Efrem Win- ters joined sophomores George Montgomery and An- thony Welch to form the nucleus for a team that would win 95 games during the next four seasons. The Fighting Illini became the 25th team to win 1,000 games in the second game of the year, beating Texas A&M in the Great Alaskan Shootout, 72-70. Harper fell one vote short of being named a unanimous All-Big Ten selection, before leaving school early for the NBA draft and becoming a first-round draft pick of the Dallas Mavericks. Douglas set school records for assists (189) and steals (78) in a season, as Illinois finished 21-1 1 and was beaten by Utah in the first round of the NCAA tour- nament. 52-49. The only non-conference blemish of the '84 season was a thrilling 56-54 Christmas Eve loss to No. 1-ranked Kentucky at Assembly Hall. En route to a Big Ten title tie with Purdue. Illinois had four overtime games, one of which — a 75-66 win over Michigan — lasted an astounding four overtimes. The next game, a double-overtime win at Iowa, was Henson's 400th as a college coach. Illinois headed to Milwaukee to beat Villanova in the NCAA tournament, 64-56. The Fighting Illini came from behind to defeat Maryland. 72-70, in the regional semifi- nals to set up a showdown with host Kentucky in the regional final. Illinois never led. but was within striking distance when a controversial foul called on Douglas put Wildcat guard Dickie Beal on the line to win the game. S4-50. In 1985, Basketball Times picked Illinois No. 1 in the nation in its preseason poll, but the Fighting Illini were upset twice in non-conference play. The Fighting Illini would head to Atlanta for the NCAA tournament after finishing second in the Big Ten with a 26-9, 12-6 record. Two wins over Northeastern ( T 6-57) and Georgia (74-58) brought about a regional semifinal tilt with Georgia Tech. The Yellow Jackets used a 25-10 burst to begin the sec- ond half and beat Illinois, 01-53. Junior-college transfer Ken Norman highlighted the '86 season, setting an Illinois all-time field goal percent- age of .641. The Fighting Illini once again led the Big Ten in scoring defense, allowing opponents only 61.6 ppg. Again, Illinois went to the NCAA tournament, this time thrashing Fairfield. - S SI . in Charlotte, N.C. to set up a game with Alabama. The Crimson Tide built a nine-point lead at halftime and was able to hold off Illinois, 58-56, despite 18 points from junior guard Tony Wysinger. Fighting Illini Basketball With four four-year starters gone, Illinois had to re- plenish its troops and did so with an outstanding group of newcomers. Guards Steve Bardo, Kendall Gill, and Larry Smith joined forward Nick Anderson in a highly- touted recruiting class. The '87 team finished 23-8 over- all and 13-5 in the Big Ten, good for fourth-place. Seeded third in the NCAA's Southeast Region. Illinois was beaten in arguably the school's most shocking upset ever, losing to unknown Austin Peay, 68-67. Two first-year players led Illinois in scoring in 1988. Northern Illinois transfer Kenny Battle finally got to unveil his high-flying game for the Fighting Illini and averaged 15.6 ppg and 5.5 rpg. Anderson led the team in scoring at 159 ppg after sitting out the '87 season. Along with Gill, Bardo, junior forward Lowell Hamilton, and Smith, this team would lay the foundation for the spectacular '89 team. Included in the 23-10, 12-6, third- place finish was Henson's 500th victory. Cincinnati was the of the opening round of the 1 988 NCAA Tournament, and Illinois disposed of another relative-unknown, Texas-San Antonio, 81-72. A rematch with Villanova, to whom Illinois lost in Hawaii earlier in the year, ended with disappointment again, 66-63- The 1989 team may very well have been the most talented team ever assembled at Illinois. It was com- prised of all of the important pieces from '88, as well as junior-college Ail-American P.J. Bowman and former high school Ail-American Marcus Liberty. The team shattered most of its all-time records, in- cluding most points in a season (3,1 10), most steals in a season (341), and most wins in a season (3D, in addition to setting an all-time mark for points in a game in a 127- 100 victory at LSU. The Fighting Illini won their first 16 games and were ranked No. 2 in the nation going into a nationally televised game against Georgia Tech, whom Illinois had already beaten, 80-75, at The Rainbow Clas- sic in December. The Yellow Jackets led, 47-31, after scoring the first basket of the second half, but Illinois managed to surge back to force overtime, eventually needing two extra sessions to win the game. Along with the No. 1 ranking the next day, Illinois found out that the club's catalyst, Gill, had broken a bone in his foot and would miss the next 12 games. Hurt by the loss of Gill, the team lost the No. 1 -ranking and three of its next four games, but rallied to finish second with a 14-4 conference record. With Gill back in the lineup, Illinois was awarded the No. 1 seed in the Midwest region in the NCAA tourna- ment and rolled to victories over McNeese State and Ball State at the Hoosier Dome in Indianapolis. A power- packed regional in Minneapolis, consisting of Illinois, Missouri, Louisville, and Syracuse, stood in the way of the lighting Illini' s first trip to the Final Four since 1952. The 1989 team may very well have been the most talented team ever assembled at Illinois. It was comprised of all of the important pieces from '88, as well as junior-college All-American P.J. Bowman and former high school All-American Marcus Liberty. Louisville fell victim to Illinois first, losing, 83-69, to set up a duel with Syracuse. The Fighting Illini held off the Orangemen to advance to Seattle where Illinois faced Michigan, a team it had already beaten twice that year. Despite Battle's 29-point, 1 1-rebound effort, Michigan defeated Illinois, 83-81. In April of of '89, high school All-America Deon Tho- mas signed a national letter of intent with Illinois. In the ensuing 1 7 months, Illinois was dragged through a gruel- ing NCAA investigation which eventually found no major wrong doings in the Fighting Illini program, but resulted in a three-year probation limiting scholarships and re- cruiting severely. On the court, Fighting Illini went 21-8 overall and 11- 7 in the Big Ten to tie for fourth-place. Gill became the first player since Norman in '87 to average 20 ppg and was named first-team All-America by UPI. He was also a finalist for the John Wooden Award and was the fifth player chosen in the NBA draft that summer, going to the Charlotte Hornets. Illinois seemed to be peaking going into the NCAA tournament, winning its last two games, a home dousing of Iowa, and a hard-fought win at Indiana, in which Gill became the first Illinois player to lead the Big Ten in scoring since Andy Phillip had done so in 1943- The Fighting Illini were seeded fifth in the Midwest region and headed to Austin, Texas to face Dayton. In another big postseason upset, the Flyers stayed with Illinois the entire way and won, 88-86. Going into the 1991 season no one expected much of Illinois. After losing Gill, Bardo, and Liberty, who declared himself eligible for the NBA draft a year early, Illinois was picked as low as ninth in the Big Ten by some publications. Junior forward Andy Kaufmann burst upon the scene scoring 660 points, the second largest single-season total in Illinois history. A three-game sweep of favored oppo- nents LSU, Missouri, and Memphis State set the stage the Fighting Mini's surprise tie for third in the Big Ten and a 21-10 overall finish. Thomas began his career, after sit- ting out 1990, scoring the most points ever by an Illinois freshman.

C 1967 Jim Dawson, G Kenny Battle Award The Kenny Battle Award honors the former Fighting lllini forward who was known for his tremendous amount of effort exerted in games, as well as practices. The award originated during practice as Head Coach Lou Henson talked about the kind of effort a player gave in practice and during game time. Henson expressed his wish for every player to come out and give what Kenny Battle did. In the words of Assistant Coach Mark Coomes, "Kenny Battle exemplified giving with even- thing he had all the time — 100 percent effort." The coaches felt no one could come up to the effort Battle contributed, but encouraged everyone to try to come close. The winner is chosen by the players and the coaches. 1989 Kendall Gill 1990 P. J.

MEDIA PROCEDURE FOR INTERVIEWS WITH UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS COACHES, ATHLETES AND ADMINISTRATORS To facilitate the schedules of Division of Inter-collegiate Athletics' (DIA) coaches and administrators and to expedite media requests, the University of Illinois Sports Information Office encourages media personnel to arrange interview requests through the Sports Informa- tion staff. Whenever circumstances prevent media personnel the time or opportunity to follow this proce- dure, DIA coaches and administrators are encouraged to accomodate media requests. Coaches and administrators have the flexibility to establish and maintain relation- ships with media that accomodate their respective schedules. This interview procedure is designed to enhance the availability of DIA staff members to answer questions from the media at a time which best facilitates each individuals schedule. Telephone calls to the homes of DIA staff members from the media may be made upon consent of the individual coach or staff member. Interview requests from the media for University of Illinois student-athletes should be arranged through the Sports Information Office. Media personnel are asked not to call the student-athlete at his residence. In most situations, the most convenient opportunity for media interviews is following the team practice sessions. If this is not a convenient time for the media, Fighting lllini Basketball return telephone calls from the athletes to the media will be arranged. The student-athletes' academic endeav- ors are of the utmost importance, and they will not be asked to miss classes for purposes of a media interview. In most situations, student-athletes are not available on the day of scheduled intercollegiate competition until after the event is completed. For more information, call the Sports Information Office at (217) 333-1390. PARKING No parking passes are issued at the Assembly Hall. All parking is free and adjacent to the building. Media personnel are encouraged to arive at least 45 minutes prior to tipoff, and to park in the Northeast lot (enter from Fourth Street), since the "Press and Participants" entrance is located on that side of the arena (see map). PREGAME AND POSTGAME SERVICES Play-by-play, halftime and complete final statistics, quote sheets, and pregame and postgame notes are all regular services on game day. Postgame information will be distributed to media at their position in the press box. Postgame — Coach Lou Henson and selected UI players will be available approximately 10-15 minutes after the conclusion of the game, and will be brought to the interview room (located just west of the north tunnel of the Assembly Hall). The visiting coach and players are available, subject to their team's policy. Those interested in audio taping grouped interviews should connect their recorders to the distribution amplifier provided by Sports Information. Output from the device is micro- phone level, terminated in 1/8" two-conductor plugs and jacks, or three-pin standard microphone male connec- tors. TELEPHONES Telephone lines in the press box must be ordered at least one week in advance of the game(s) for which they are needed. The orders should be addressed to Tony Mangano of Illinois Bell (312/727-5194, during regular business hours).
