Ubben Basketball Complex on the campus of the University of Illinois. This $5.5 million dollar facility is a direct result of the university's commit- ment to excellence in athletics. It houses not only a full-sized prac- tice court, but its features include locker rooms for the coaches and players, a players lounge, video review room, training room and weight room. The 40,000-square- foot facility is home to everything the players need to make it through the day. After classes, players can spend time studying or using the computers in the video room.

The Hall has served as home to the Fighting Illini since its con- struction in 1963 and in 1999 it became even better after a multi- million dollar construction project that brought the team a new lock- er room, state-of-the-art training room, a dining area and a new tunnel area to accommodate net- work television trucks and team buses. Illinois opened play at the Assembly Hall on March 4, 1963 with a 79-73 victory over Northwestern. Since that first game, the Illini have racked up a 385-117 mark, including a 126- 35 slate in the 1990s. Since 1963, Illinois has sold out 122 games at the Assembly Hall, which seats 16,450.

Stukel p; 1 resident James J. Stukel begins his sixth year as chief executive officer ot the University oi lUinois. Since becoming the University's 15th CEO, Stui/ One of the most dramatic and dignified traditions in col- lege athletics is the perform- ance of Chief Illiniwek at the University ol Illinois. Since 1926, this symbol has stirred pride and respect in audiences at Memorial Stadium, the Assembly Hall and Huff Hall. Illiniwek (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. Illiniwek means "they are men" and former Illinois football coach Robert Zuppke is believed to have suggested calling the UI symbol Chief Illiniwek. In 1926, Assistant Band Director Ray Dvorak conceived the idea of performing an American Indian dance during halftime of the Illinois vs. Pennsylvania football game in Philadelphia. Lester Leutwiler, a student interested in Indian lore, was chosen for the role. Leutwilers per- formance, done in a homemade cos- tume, was received so well that he was asked to continue his dance through the 1928 season. Webber Borchers, the second Chief Illiniwek, 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 dollars. 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 mis- sion. He and an Indian trader called in an older Sioux woman. She and two younger women made the suit. ' On Nov. 8, 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 Illiniwek in that outfit. Since then, five different authentic outfits have been used by Chief Illiniwek. The one used in per- formances now was purchased in 1983 from Sioux Chief Frank Fools Crow, and is topped by a headdress of turkey feathers.

He's been a tremendous asset during the transition of coaching staffs with the players and in recruiting." -Bill Self An Illini Academic Ail-American, Rob Judson returned to his alma mater when he joined Lon Kruger's staff in 1996. Bill Self saw the same qualities that Judson has earned as one of the most-respected assistants in the nation and asked him to remain on the staff when Self was hired in June. In four seasons at Illinois, Judson has helped continue the great tradition of Fighting Illini basketball that he was a part of as a player in the late 1 970s. A four-year letterwinner at Zion-Benton High School, Judson played for his father, Phil, who was one-half of the famed Judson twins who led tiny Hebron High to the 1952 Illinois High School state championship. Twenty-three years later, Rob was his team's MVP, an all-state selec- tion and a top recruit by the University of Illinois and Lou Henson. While playing for the Fighting Illini from 1976-80, Judson starred not only on the court but in the classroom. Illinois went 70-52 in his four years, a mark which included a third-place finish in the 1980 NIT. As an Illini, he set the I'he JtidsoH fa»iily: Rob.

Judson's coaching career began at Palatine High School in 1980, then moved to Wauconda High School (1981-83) and Glenbrook South High School (1983-89) in suburban Chicago before joining Jim Molinari at Northern Illinois University. He followed Molinari to Bradley in 1991 (five years to the day), where he was the Bradley head coach's chief recruiter. A former Illinois Basketball Coaches Association District Coach-of-the-Year, Judson is a member of that organization's Hall of Fame and is currently on the organization's Board of Directors. Judson was the fourth member of his family to letter at Illinois. Besides his father, Phil, who let- tered in 1955 and 1956, his uncles Paul and Howard left their mark on Fighting Illini basket- ball. Paul lettered from 1954-56, earning first- team All-Big Ten honors as a junior and senior. He was Illinois' most valuable player in 1955.

Jim ZieHnslii, Illinois' strength and conditioning coach, is committed to seeing every individual on the team become stronger, faster and the best overall athlete he can be. "I believe that strength training has a huge impact on the success of a basketball team," Zielinski says. He is a firm believer in individual- izing a work out regiment for each player, because every person has individual needs and goals in his strength program. STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING COACH Jim Zielinski Veteran strength coach Jim Zielinski, who has spent the last four sea- sons as Director of Strength and Conditioning at Oregon State, returned to his home state this year as the head strength coach for the University' of IlUnois. A native of Rockford, 111., Zielinski graduated from Northern Illinois in 1986 where he was a defensive back under Coach Bill Mallory. He helped lead his squad to a win in the California Bowl in 1983. A 10-year veteran of the business, Zielinski joins the UI staff after stints at Oregon State (1995- 99), Northern Illinois (1988-93) and Nebraska (1988). During his time at OSU, he was respon- sible for the strength program design, speed and strength development, and all test and evalua- tion for the varsity sports. From 1988-95, Zielinski was the head strength and conditioning coordinator for the Northern Illinois Huskies 16-sport program. During his six and a half years at NIU, Zielinski imple- mented the program design and monitored the athlete's daily progress. He began his career as an assistant strength coach at the University of Nebraska. Zielinski and his wife Teresa, have three children James Edward, Alexandra Marie and Zachary. "We sit down with each and every player and pick out specific goals. That could be his body weight, a goal we want him to bench press or a goal we want him to squat," Zielinski added. Zielinski also uses a hands- on approach to strength and conditioning training. He and his staff work individually with each player to ensure that the student-athlete is doing the exercises correctly. He also emphasizes the mental preparation of strength training and how the mind prepares the play- ers for the battle of the game. Another key in the strength program, especially down the stretch, is to pre- vent injuries. It is a long season with a lot of games and the teams which have put in the time in to become the best conditioned, rise above the rest down the stretch of the year. 2000-01 Fighting Ii.lini Basketball Sports Medicine ILLINm \L>^ When it comes to sports medicine, the University of Illinois has the finest in medical personnel to keep the Fighting Illini basketball players healthy and on the court. The sports medicine staff's No. 1 goal is the pre- vention of injuries, but in the unfor- tunate event of an injury the staff works diligently to get the athlete back into playing condition as quick- ly as possible. Rod Cardinal, one of the best in his field, has been a long-time member of the training staff at the University of Illinois. He is in his 28th year working with men's basketball after being appointed assistant athletic trainer at the University in July 1 973. Besides his responsibilities in athletic training, Cardinal holds the impor- tant job of travel manager for the Illini, which covers everything from booking charter service to hotel rooms to planning menus for meals on the road. The Sports Medicine Staff: Dr. Stephen Soboroff, Rod Cardinal and Dr. Robert dirtier. physicians, who tend to the medical needs of the student-athletes. Dr. Stephen Soboroff is the head team physician and Dr. Robert Gurtler is the team orthopedic surgeon. Prior to his appointment at Illinois, he served in a similar capacity at the U.S. Military Academy. A native of Blaine, Minn., Cardinal graduated from Southwest State University (Minn.) in 1971 with a B.S. in health and physical educa- tion. He was a student trainer in high school, and in college for three years prior to his "West Point position. He also played varsity basketball in college. Cardinal earned a master's degree in 1977 from Illinois in physical education and sports medicine with an additional emphasis in educational administration. He received the Alumni Achievement Award from Southwest State University in 1995. ("ardinal, along with his wife, Mary have three grown children and reside in Tolono. The sports medicine team would not be complete without the team Soboroff has served in this capacity for the University of Illinois since 1983. He directs the drug-education and drug-testing programs, and pro- vides consultations to the athletic training staff. He received his M.D. from the UI College of Medicine in Chicago in 1969, and is certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine. Soboroff serves on the University of Illinois faculty in the School of Medicine and the Department of Kinesiology. Gurtler also has been on the team's medical staff since 1983. He is responsible for treating orthopedic injuries to athletes in varsity sports. In addition to his duties with the U of I, Gurtler has a private practice at Carle Hospital, focusing primarily on sports-related injuries. 2000-01 Fighting Illini Basketball ijMm Richmond's Endow ment RICHMONDS ENDOW COACH'S POSITION T he University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has been close in many respects to Jack Richmond all his life. The Champaign resident, U of I graduate, retired businessman, and longtime benefactor has again strengthened his ties to his alma mater. A lifelong Fighting Illini fan, Jack and his wife, Marge, sig- nificantly increased their previous seven-figure commitment to the Division of Intercollegiate Athletics by endowing the salary of the men's basketball head coach position. "The Richmond Family Endowed Men's Head Basketball Coach," is the latest on a long list of generous support from the Richmond fam- ily. Jack, whose ancestors helped settle Champaign County, recalled his parents Arthur Dean and Mildred Richmond, contributed to the U of I lor the construction of Memorial Stadium. Seven-year-old Jack was on hand for the dedication of Memorial Stadium Oct. 17, 1924, and has been hooked on Fighting Illini sports ever since. His own years at the U of I were greatly satisfying. He was a mem- ber of Phi Gamma Delta fraternity, and was active in sports. As a freshman gymnast, who earned his numerals with the U of I team. Jack broke his sternum following a dismount from the rings. No longer able to compete as a gymnast, he focused his attention on weight training. At that point, weights weren't popular and were nonexistent at the U of I. "I always thought that weight training, if done properly, would help athletes. Nobody believed me, " he said. Still, he convinced Seward Staley, director of the U of I School of Physical Education, to purchase a set of Olympic weights. A small but dedicated weight lifting team was formed, and the sport spread. Today, the benefits of weight training are widely recognized and top- notch equipment is readily available across campus. Jack smiles and says, "I feel like I was 60 years ahead of my time. " Jack graduated in 1 943 with a bachelor's degree in agriculture. After a tour in the Army, he put his degree to work at the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Soil Conservation Service as a county farm planner. Later, he joined Marchant Calculators as a salesman and had clients ranging from grain elevator operators to the U of I. He remained with Marchant, which was acquired by Smith Corona and became known as SCM Corp., until 1972. Then he was ready to embark on a new course — the stock market. He had dabbled in the market since 1955, but by the early 1970s he had become active. He enjoyed success in this realm as well. Jack stayed busy investing and active in organizations such as the Champaign Lions Club, in which he was president, Sons of American Revolution, the Society of the War of 1812, and three Masonic orders. By the mid-1970s, he was "looking at organizations to find a good place to put my money," he said. His solution was, "where people need it and where it will do the most good." Jack and Marge Richmond with Mr. Richmond's mother, Mildred That place, he decided, was the U of I. A donor since 1965, his gen- erosity to the University increased significantly over the years. Jack and his mother became members of the Presidents Council in 1 976 and Marge became a member in 1990. Thanks to seven-figure commitments from the estate of Mildred Richmond and from Jack and Marjorie Laird Richmond, the U of I constructed the Richmond Journalism Teaching Studio, adjacent to and affiliated with Campbell Hall for Public Telecommunication, the new WILL broadcast facility at UIUC. The Richmond Studio honors Jack, Marge, and the memory of Arthur Dean and Mildred Hummel Richmond. Always interested in U of I athletics. Jack is an honorary member of the I Man's Association and has been a member and former president of the Illini Quarterback Club since 1955. He also joined the Rebounders Club shortly afi:er former head coach Lou Henson founded it. Jack is also a life member of the Fighting Illini Scholarship Fund. Now the Richmond name will also be forever associated with the athletics at the U of I through the endowment of the men's basket- ball head coach position. Jack said he hopes his gift ensures success for the Fighting Illini program for future generations through the Richmond Family Endowed Men's Head Basketball Coach. For lifelong Illini fan and generous supporter Jack Richmond, it just doesn't get any better. ?f#J 2000-01 Fighting Illini Basketball The Players /r7% ILLINm 2000^01 Preview M.J>^ 2000 Big Ten Tournament Runner-Up ,.. A return to the NCAA Tournament ••• Returning all five starters and 12 letterwinners ••• Beginning of the Bill Self era. Bill Self begins his tenure as the 1 Sth coach in Illinois basketball history with one of the most anticipated sea- sons in recent memory. All five starters, nine of the top 10 scorers and 12 letterwinners from the 2000 squad return giving Self a strong nucleus of experience. Yet, with just two seniors among the top nine returning scorers, the lUini are still relatively young. Illinois is coming off a 22-10 season, includ- ing an 11-5 mark in Big Ten play, good for tourth place in the league. Despite the talent and experience returning, the lUini will have to battle to match last years 22 victories. A schedule rated by some as the toughest in the nation will severely test Illinois in November and December. "It's probably as competitive a schedule as anyone in America will play," Self said. "The Big Ten schedule is always going to be a beast, but you throw in our November- December schedule and it's one that will def- initely keep our players and fans excited about each up-and-coming game." "We have a chance to play up to five games against consensus Top 10 teams in the non- conference portion of the schedule. This schedule will be a great gauge as to where we are on the national level." Self welcomes two newcomers to the squad in 7-Ioot-2-inch center Nick Smith and 6-5 guard Brett Melton. Smith is the tallest play- er in mini history, while Melton adds solid depth at guard with his uncanny long-range shooting ability. "Nick Smith is going to be a very good play- er," Self said. "Whether his strength allows him to play a lot this season is yet to be seen. He is a tremendous shooter." "Brett should be able to contribute right from the start and make an impact immedi- ately. He has tremendous shooting range." Another player making his first appearance for the lUini will be Jerrance Howard, a point guard who helped lead Peoria High School to a 23-4 record while dishing out 7.8 assists per game in 1999. Howard sat out last season as a redshirt. These players will join an lUini squad which returns 89 percent of the team's scoring and 87 percent of the rebounding. The Illini leaders in every statistical category return for the 2000-01 season. "We want to pressure whether we're on offense or defense," Self said. "We want to put our opponents on their heals and attack both offensively and defensively. We want to contest every dribble, every pass and every shot." Leading the backcourt labeled as one ot the top tandems in the nation is the sophomore- junior guard combo ot Frank Williams and Cory Bradford. Bradford was the team's leading scorer each of the last two years and was selected as a Wooden Award Preseason Ail-American (one of 25 players) for the sec- ond consecutive season. Bradford has set school three-point shooting records in each of his first two seasons and figures to move high on the UI career scoring list. A former Parade All-American, Williams started 29 games at the point last year and led the team in assists with an average of 4.1 per game. He also finished second on the team in scoring with an average of 11.4 points. "Cory has proven himself o\'er the last two years as a very good player," Self said." "Frank played very well over the last half of last season. You have to remember that thev were just first and second year players a year ago. Both still have a lot to improve on, but from a size and skill viewpoint, ver)' few teams have what we ha\'e at those positions." mF^'mm 2000-01 FicHiiNc, Illini Basketball 2000-01 Preview mm In addition to Bradford and Williams, the lUini return the services ot sophomore Sean Harrington, senior Nate Mast, and walk-on Joe Cross, a transfer from Florida International and the younger brother of Dan Cross who played for former Illini coach Lon Kruger at Florida. Harrington shot 40 percent from three- point range (20-50) last season and led the squad in free throw shooting at 83 percent. Harrington's court time grew steadily during the season. Mast has been used as a back-up point guard during his Illinois career as he saw action in 21 games last year. Cross played in just 10 games after becoming eligible for the spring semester in 2000. Howard is expected to add considerable depth to the point guard posi- tion after sitting out last season as a redshirt. Freshman Brett Melton, from nearby Mahomet-Seymour High School, is an out- standing three-point shooter and should be able to contribute off the bench, while red- shirt freshman Jerrance Howard will try to fill one of the Illini biggest needs as a back- up point guard. The Illini have experience and size at the other perimeter position. Senior Sergio McClain started 19 of 32 games last year and for the second year in a row, junior Lucas Johnson ended the season in the start- ing lineup. Budding star Brian Cook has proven to be effective facing the basket and has three-point range. McClain averaged 6.8 points and 3.8 rebounds last year, while ranking second on the team with 53 assists. He started the final 1 5 games in which he played last season. Johnson averaged 6.1 points and 3.3 rebounds while shooting 40 percent from three-point range. He also may have led the Big Ten in floor burns as his hustle and defensive intensity made him an Illini crowd favorite. He started the final 1 games of the season. Cook can move to the perimeter if the Illini want to go "big" or play inside with his back to the basket. The Illini frontcourt has experience, depth and talent. Brian Cook enters the 2000-01 season as one of the top players in the Big Ten. The 2000 Big Ten Co-Freshman of the Year, enters the season stronger and more experi- enced. He averaged 10.2 points and 4.8 rebounds in Big Ten play last season, includ- ing a run through the Big Ten Tournament that landed him on the all-tournament squad. Cook has the size to play inside with his back to the basket, and the ability and quickness to move to the three-point line. His versatility could cause match-up prob- lems for opponents all season. Marcus Griffin was third on the team in scoring with an average of 10.7 points per game last year, but was replaced by Cook in the starting lineup after suffering a knee injury in January. Griffin missed just five games, but was effective coming off the bench the remainder of the season averaging 7.3 points in 13.3 minutes over the last 10 games. Two juniors who saw considerable action each of their first two seasons are Damir Krupalija and Robert Archibald. Krupalija averaged itearly 14 minutes per game last year while shooting nearly 58 per- cent from the floor and averaging 4.1 rebounds per game. He suffered through much of the season with an injured toot. He led the Illini with an average of 5.5 boards in 24 games in 1999. Archibald started 20 games last year and shot 52 percent from the floor. Another summer in the weight room increased the 6-11 tor- ward/center to 250 pounds. Nick Smith, the 2000 Gatorade Player-of- the-Year in Florida, has shown signs of being one of the team's outstanding shooters. Already the tallest player in Illinois history at 7-2, Smith will continue to work on his strength to gain playing time as a freshman. "This is a good team to run a 'high-low' offense like we have," Self said. "All of our big guys have goods skills and there is no rea- son they can't be effective. One area we need to improve on is back-to-the-basket scoring ability" 2000-01 Fighting Illini Baskliball ILLMIS 2000-01 Roster NUMERICAL * Denotes letters won ALPHABETICAL \ No Plaver Pos Ht Wt Yr 00 Brett Melton G 6-5 195 Fr. 5 Nate Mast** G 5-11 170 Sr. 12 Joe Cross G 6-2 200 Sr. 13 Cory Bradford** G 6-3 200 Jr. 21 Robert Archibald** F 6-11 250 Jr. 22 Lucas Johnson** F 6-8 230 Jr. 24 Sean Harrington* G 6-3 185 So. 25 Jerrance Howard G 6-1 190 Fr. 30 Frank Williams* G 6-3 205 So. 33 Damir Krupalija** F 6-9 232 Jr. 34 Brian Cook* F 6-10 240 So. 40 Sergio McClain*** F 6-4 230 Sr. 45 Nick Smith C 7-2 240 Fr. 52 Marcus Griffin* F 6-9 235 Sr. Hometown/High Schooi/IC Mahomet, 111. /Mahomet-Seymour HS Champaign, 111. /Central HS Carbondale, Ill./Carbondale HS/Florida International U.

With a talented, yet young squad, Illini head coach Lon Kruger knew expectations were high, but also knew it would be a challenging year. A competitive non-conference slate gave the Illini a chance to see where they would fit into the rugged Big Ten Conference. Tough back-to-back losses to No. 17 Duke (69-72) and No. 24 Maryland (67-69) early in the season taught the young Illini important lessons they would rely on later during conference play. A win over eighth- ranked Kansas at the United Center in Chicago was the biggest non- conference victory of the season. Illinois posted an 8-3 record in non-conference play and ranked 19th in the nation opening the Big Ten season. Big Ten play opened with a bang when freshman Frank Williams nailed a three-point bomb at the final buzzer to give the Illini an 80- 77 victory over Ohio State in front of a national TV audience. A three-game tailspin put the Illini in a hole before turning things around with a victory over Penn State at the Assembly Hall. Illinois completed the conference portion of the schedule by winning eight of 10 games with losses coming to eventual national-champion Michigan State and at Ohio State. The eight victories came by an average of 22 points per game, with a 5 1-50 victory at Penn State the only victory less than nine points. The Fighting Illini finished the season in fourth place with an 1 1-5 mark in the Big Ten. Illinois went 4-5 vs. ranked teams during the season, including two wins over Indiana. The biggest victory over the Hoosiers came Feb. 22 when the Illini ran around, through and over Indiana with an 87-63 victory at the Assembly Hall. In the Big Ten Tournament, Illinois opened with an electrifying 72-69 victory over Indiana when scoring leader Cory Bradford nailed a three-pointer with 1.3 seconds remaining in the game. Illinois defeated Penn State for the third time during the season to end up in the championship game for the second straight season. Michigan State wore down the Illini 76-61 before starting the Spartan march to the national title. Illinois returned to NCAA Tournament play with a No. 4 seed in the South Regional. Illinois opened with a 68-58 victory over Penn before ending the season with a loss to eventual national runner-up Florida. Big Ten Co-Freshman of the Year Brian Cook was named to the All-Big Ten Tournament team after averaging 14.3 points and 6.6 rebounds in three games in Chicago. Cook's role with the team took a giant step up when Marcus Griffin was sidelined with a knee injury in late January. Cook stepped into the starting lineup and led the Illini in scoring in three of the next four games. In May, Kruger made the decision to leave Illinois and became the head coach of the NBA's Atlanta Hawks.

The Illini trailed 25-22 with 1:30 left in the first half, before going on an 8-0 run over that stretch to take a five point lead into halftime. Lucas Johnson hit back-to-back three pointers and Robert Archibald made a shot at the buzzer to account for Ul's points during ihe spurt. Illinois came out on fire to start the second halt, exploding on a 24-4 run to open up a comfortable mar- gin. Marcus Griffin, who was scoreless in the first half, scored all seven of his points during the run. Frank Williams hit a pair ot threes around a trey by Cory Bradford, and Sergio McClain scored both of his bas- kets during the stretch.

Early on it was all Duke, as the Blue Devils raced out to an early 11-3 lead. Illinois had trouble finding its rhythm offensively, connecting on only four of its first 16 shots from the floor. Brian Cook gave the Illini a spark off the bench, scoring seven points on three for three shooting, as Illinois narrowed the deficit to three. Cleotis Brown took over from there, hitting a pair of threes and a driving layup to put the Illini ahead going into halftime. Illinois went back and forth from man-to-man to zone defense in the second half to throw off Dukes rhythm and to contain Chris Carrawell. Carrawel! did not get many clean looks, but he continued to drive to the basket and draw fouls. Carrawell brought Duke back to a tie at 50-50 with a three-point play with 1 1 minutes remaining. Illinois made just two shots in over seven minutes, as Duke opened up a nine point advantage. A pair of threes by Frank Williams and free throws by Archibald and Bradford pulled the Illini within one with :40 remaining. Carrawell drew a foul on the next posses- sion and made both free throws, making it a three point game. A last second, long range three by Williams to send the game into overtime was off the mark.

C. 67 69 Illinois dropped to 2-2 on the season with a heart- breaking rwo-point loss to Maryland in the opening round of the BB&T Classic, 69-67. Illinois opened up an eight margin at 49-41 on Cory Bradford's third three pointer ot the game, less than five minutes into the second hall. But from there the Illini went ice cold trom the floor. Maryland switched defenses from man to a 3-2 zone, and Illinois struggled with the new look, scoring just one basket over the next seven and a half minutes. Maryland, meanwhile was able to erase the deficit as Terence Morris began to heat up and Lonny Ba.\ter scored on rebound baskets. Frank Williams kept the Illini in the game with five straight points down the stretch. With the game tied at 64 all, Maryland's Danny Miller threw up a desperation three with one left on the shot clock. The shot banked in off the side of the glass, giving the Terps a three point lead with :36 remaining. After a UI timeout, Williams answered with a three of his own to knot the score. Maryland then worked the clock down and guard Juan Dixon hit a tough baseline leaner past Marcus Griffin with just ;06 left for the victory. llHi FG-A 22iA EM REB PTS A TO B S Archibald 1-5 0-0 0-0 5 Brown 5-7 0-1 3^ 3 Griffin 6-9 0-0 0-0 S Bradford 3-13 3-8 3-3 1 Williams 6-13 2-4 4-4 2 Chukwudebel-4 0-0 1-2 1 Mast 0-0 0-0 0-0 1 Johnson 1-2 1-1 0-0 1 Harrington 0-0 0-0 0-0 Krupalija 0-1 0-1 0-1 2 Cook 2-4 0-1 0-2 4 2 2 10 13 2 4 2 12 1 2 3 12 3 1 3 18 6 3 3 3 10 2 1 3 12 10 10 2 4 12 1 Totals 25-58 6-16 11-16 29 67 14 18 7 12 FG% 1st: 11-25/.440 2nd: 14-33/.424 Game: .431 3PT% 1st: 2-5/.400 2nd:4-ll/.364 Game: .375 FT% 1st: 9-13/.692 2nd: 2-3/.667 Game: .688 Maryland FG-A 3P-A FT-A REB PTS A TO B s Miller 3-8 2-3 1-2 4 9 1 3 1 1 Morris 7-14 0-2 7-7 5 21 2 3 Baxter 5-9 0-0 6-8 12 16 1 1 Dixon 8-16 1-2 2-2 8 19 2 9 5 Blake 1-3 0-2 0-0 4 2 11 4 2 Nicholas 0-2 0-2 0-1 1 1 Cephas 0-0 0-0 0-0 Mardesich 0-2 0-0 2-2 3 2 2 1 2 Holden 0-0 0-0 0-1 Totals 24-54 3-11 18-23 40 69 16 20 6 10 FG% Isl: 14-29/.483 2nd: 10-25/.400 Game: .444 3PT% 1st: 1-7/.143 2nd: 2-4/. 500 Game: .273 FT% lst:3-5/.600 2nd: 15-18/.833 Game; .783 Score by Halves: 1st 2nd Game A: 13,536 Score by Halves: 1st 2nd Game A: 13,703 Illinois 33 34 67 Seton Hall 25 36 61 Maryland 32 37 69 Illinois 36 36 72 CA ME #16 Illinois Seton Hall Dec. 5, 1999 MCI Center, Washington D. C 72 61 Illinois rebounded from its loss to Maryland with a convincing double-digit victory over Seton Hall in the consolation game of the BB&T. The first half set the tone for the Illini as they pounded the oftensive glass and Cory Bradford broke out ot his shooting slump. Bradford entered the game hitting just 31% from the floor. But against the Pirates, he hit six of 14 shots, including five ot eleven from behind the arc, for a game high 19 points. Illinois had it going both inside and outside as Marcus Griffin con- trolled the paint, scoring a season high 16 points and adding three blocks defensively. Illinois led by as many as 15 in the second hall and held a 60-46 advantage with seven minutes remaining when Seton Hall made it interesting. The Pirates went on a 1 0-0 run to close the gap to within four. But just when the Illini needed a bucket to stop the run, they got via a long-range three by Bradford. After a pair of free throws by Cleotis Brown, Bradford hit his fifth three moments later, giving the Illini a comfortable 12 point margin with only two minutes remaining.

The Illini led by ten at halftime, and used a strong second half to pull away from the Broncs. Illinois shot .579 from the floot in the second hall , its best shooting ol the season. The offensive fireworks were led by centet Marcus Griffin, who was unstop- pable inside the lane, hitting eight ol ten shots from the floot on the way to a career high 1 8 points. Four other Illini (Bradlord, Brown, Johnson, McClain) scored in double figures. Illinois' detensive pressure was just as effective as its offense, as the Illini limited Pan Atnerican to just three field goals in the first 13 minutes ol the second hall.

The Illini showed off the cotnplece package of fine- tuned offense and suffocating defense against the visit- ing Kansas State Wildcats. The end result was a land- slide victory for the Illini. their second straight win with a margin of over thirt)' points. Illinois built a double-digit lead in the first half thanks to a 17-3 run over a seven minute stretch. That lead ballooned in the second half, behind the hot shooting of Frank Williams and Lucas Johnson. Williams finished with a season-high 20 points, and Johnson chipped in with 14, including a trio of three-pointers. The Illini were beaten on the boards, partially due to the foul trouble of Marcus Griffin which limited him to a season-low 1 5 minutes. But Illinois' defense was the real story of the game. It held Kansas State to just two field goals over the final twelve minutes of the contest. The Wildcats made just 16 baskets the entire game, on a dismal 27.6 percent shooting.

Kansas built a 24-12 lead during the first 12 minutes of the contest while the Illini continued to misfire from the field. UI missed 15 of its first 18 shots, and could not muster any offense until Frank Williams found the hot hand. On three straight possessions he hit a three, a baseline jumper, and another rhree to slice into the Jayhawk lead. He then dished out a couple of highlight reel passes ro Brian Cook and Marcus Griffin for easy baskets, as Illinois trimmed the lead to just one at the break. Cory Bradford, who had just a pair of free throws and went O-for-8 from the floor in the first half rurned things around in a big way. He hit five threes and scored 19 second-half points as Illinois pulled away. Marcus Griffin was the inside presence, giving Illinois the perfect inside-outside combination. Griffin appeared unstoppable on the block, scoring on three consecutive touches on the way to his first double-dou- ble. Frank Williams added 15 points and a career high eight assists in the victory.

The Illini jumped out to a commanding 30-14 advantage, establishing Marcus Griffm in the post and countering with a paif of deep threes by Cor\' Bradford. But over the next nine minutes, managed just one point while being outscored 21-1 by the Tigers. In the second half Mizzou was deadly from the floor, shooring 70 percent from the floor, including 8-of-lO from behind the arc. That helped the Tigers take an eleven point lead with four minutes remaining. But the Illini did not quit, setting up an aggressive fiill court press which created turnovers and easy baskets. Illinois narrowed the gap to 7 1 -70, but in the last two minutes Missouri made seven of eight free throws to end the ball game. The story of the game was the incredible perimeter shooting ot the Tigers. Missouri shot 65 percent from three-point land for the game. Guard Keyon Dooling, who led all scorers with 25 points, was the only Missoufi player to miss a shot from the floor in the sec- ond hall.

G A ME I Bethune-Cookman 47 #20 Illinois 97 Dec. 28, 1999 Assembly HalL, Champaign, III. Illinois bounced back from the tough loss to Missouri with its most dominating effort of the season against Bethune-Cookman. The Illini played with a small lead most of the first half, extending it to double- digits just before halftime, and never looked back. It was a balanced effort for the Illini. with five play- ers scoring in double figures. Freshman Brian Cook came off the bench with his best game of the year, scor- ing a career high 18 points to match the 18 scored by center Marcus Griffin. Along with Bradford (16), and Williams (12), Lucas Johnson continued his torrid shooting at the Assembly Hall, scoring 14 points behind four-of-five three-pointers. Illinois' defense was stifling, holding the Wildcats to just 16 points in the second hall on .182 shooting. In the first 12 minutes of the second hall, UI outscored Bethune 28-6, with the Wildcats managing just two field goals over that time. The Illini forced Bethune into 26 turnovers, while grabbing a season high 18 steals. The 50 point margin of victory is the largest under Lon Kruger and is the most since UI defeated Chicago State by 69 (121-52) on Dec. 18, 1993.

Illinois dominated its opponent for the second game in a row, blowing past Loyola-Chicago. The lIHni offense was the glaring highlight of the game, as it was a case of too many weapons for the Ramblers to handle. Loyola had no one with the physical presence to check Marcus Griffm down low, and GrJffm took advantage. The Illini center scored a career high 24 points and was just one rebound shy of recording a dou- ble-double. Senior Cleotls Brown added to the offense with his best game of the season, scoring 19 points behind a career high four three pointers. Finally, Frank Williams tied the Illini mark for third all-time in single game assists, when he dropped 13 dimes against the Ramblers. It was a relatively close game for the first 13 minutes, with the Illini clinging to a five point lead. Then the hosts broke out with a 25-6 run over five minutes to open up a comfortable margin of 24 points. In the sec- ond half, Loyola could close the gap to more than 14 as the Illini cruised to victory. Illinois was lethal from the outside, nailing 13 three- pointers in the game, which is just one short of the all- time Illini record for three-pointers in a game (14, against Iowa on Feb. 24, 1996).

The Illini opened Big Ten conference play with a thrilling 80-77 victory over visiting Ohio State. Cory Bradford was the offensive spark in the first half scoring 1 1 points, including three treys, as the hosts opened up an early 12 point lead. Despite being hobbled by an ankle injury, Victor Chukwudebe performed admirably, scoring three baskets in the half in place of Marcus Griffin, who was sent to the bench with two early touls. Ohio State was paced by its guards, Michael Redd and Scoonie Penn. They combined for 19 first half points and helped trimmed the UI lead to seven at halftime. Cleotis Brown came out of locker room fired up, scoring nine straight Illinois points to keep the lead in place. And late in the game, Cory Bradford had a pair of big baskets to keep the margin. But the Illini had no answer for OSU for- ward George Reese. With Krupalija, Archibald, and Chukwudebe sidelined with injuries, Illinois was forced to tise Lucas jofmson and Sergio McClain on Reese. OSU exploited this mismatch and Reese scored time after time in the post, on his way to 18 second-halt points. With OSU down by two, the Buckeyes looked again to Reese. He missed a turnaroimd jumper, but Brian Brown tipped in the miss to tie the game at 77-77 with just five sec- onds left. Illinois quickly inbounded the ball to Frank Williams, who dashed up the coun and put up a game- winning three from the top of the key. It found nothing but net as the horn sounded, ending the game.

In a game that was a talc of r\vo halves, the second half woes outweighed the first halt heroics for the Illini as they let a big lead slip away in a loss to the Badgers. Everything went Illinois' way in the first half, as the visitors iumped out to a I 3 point advantage at half. Over a ten minute stretch, the Illini went on a 22-4 run. holding the Badgers to just one basket over that time. Marcus Griffin had seven and Frank Williams had eight as Illinois shot 43 percent despite only 1-of- 10 from three-point range. But the tide turned in the second half the Badgers made their comeback, beginning with a 12-2 run over the first five minutes. Wisconsin, which made just one of its first 14 three-point attempts, caught fire led by four treys from Duany Duany. The Badgers even- tually regained the lead, but Frank Williams answered with a driving layup and foul with :32 left. Williams made the free throw for a 59-58 lead.

For the ninth game in a row and sixth straight time on the Assembly Hall floor, Purdue was victorious over the Illini, this time by a score of 69-66. Illinois started off very slowly, going four minutes before hitting its first shot ot the game. Purdue took a 12-4 lead behind Brian Cardinal's eight points, but the Illini answered with an 8-0 run of its own, with lour points a piece from Sean Harrington and Frank Williams. Marcus Griffin scored five baskets in nine minutes ol action to keep Illinois close, but Purdue took a three point lead into the locker room behind the strength ol Cardinal's 14 points. The game see-sawed back and fourth until the Illini broke a 48-48 tie with a quick 7-0 run, capped by Harrinton's second trey of the game. The lead did not last long, as Purdue responded with an 11-2 run of its own. All of Purdue's baskets during the pivotal point ol the game were offensive putbacks by senior Mike Robinson. Robinson had seven offensive rebounds in the second hall alone. The Illini found themselves down 65-61 with less than three minutes left. The lead was trimmed to one with under a minute and Illinois had possession. Cory Bradford got an open look at a three, but the shot was off and Ul was forced to loul. Carson Cunningham made two tree throws with :26 remaining to make it a three point game. Illinois called timeout to set the play, but Williams' attempted three to send the game into overtime came up just short.

Illinois dropped its third straight game with an overtime loss to the Michigan Wolverines. Sergio McClain earned his first start since the Bradley game on Nov. 22, and the junior responded with his best game of the season. McClain was a monster on the boards, grabbing 1 1 in the first half, as UI outrebounded Michigan 25-14. Illinois took a 38-34ead into halftime behind nine points from Marcus Griflin and eight a piece fi-om Bradford and Krupalija. Early in the second half the Illini lead again grew to seven points, but it was quickly wiped out by three straight Michigan treys, two by JamaJ Crawford and one by Ke\'in Gaines, givinh the Wolverines a 30^8 lead. The lead exchanged hands four umes before UM built a se\'en point cushion with 7:30 left. Illinois outscored Michigan 1 1 -4 over the next rwo min- utes to tie it at 74 all on Cleotis Brown's three free throws. Michigan then scored sbt straight points but again Illinois bounced back to tie. After a Michigan miss, Illinois called rime out with :23 to set up the final play. McClain passed to Bradford, who fumbled it and the defender knocked the ball out of boimds with one tenth of a second left. Robert Archibald tried to tip in a lob pass off the inbounds play but missed, sending the game into OT. In overtime, Illinois had the lead on three separate occa- sions, only to see Michigan tie it each time. The Wolverines went ahead for good on a dunk by Josh Asselin with :49 left. Cory Bradford's three anempt was off, forcing the Illini to foul and Michigan, which shot 82 percent from the line on the day. made the foul shots in the closing seconds to end the game. lllii FG-A 3P-A FT-A REB PTS A TO B S Archibald 5-7 0-0 2-3 8 12 3 2 Brown 2-6 1-3 3-3 4 8 15 1 Griffin 3-9 0-0 5-6 5 11 3 1 Bradford 8-22 5-13 7-9 3 28 1 McClain 6-13 0-0 3-3 18 15 5 3 Johnson 0-2 0-2 0-0 10 10 Harrington 1-2 0-10-0 2 10 1 Williams 1-5 1-2 0-0 3 3 6 2 Krupalija 4-7 1-2 1-2 3 10 1 Cook 1-2 0-0 0-0 2 Totals 31-75 8-23 21-26 45 91 7 21 2 8 FG% 1st: 13-32/.406 2nd: 14-31/.452 Game: .413 3PT% lst:4-8/.500 2nd:4-ll/.364 Game: .348 FT% 1st: 8-12/.667 2nd: 12-13/.923 Game: .808 Michig an FG-A 3 PA FT-A REB FTS A TQ B S Blanchard 5-13 1-4 11-11 Smith 2-5 0-0 Asselin 6-12 0-0 Jones 3-7 1-4 Gaines 4-12 2-5 Crawford 5-14 2-7 Groninger 1-2 0-1 Young 0-0 0-0 Vignier 0-0 0-0 3-4 1-4 3-4 8-9 2-3 3-4 AA 2-2 10 5 4 22 2 3 "5343 13 1 1 2 10 4 18 3 6 1 14 2 1 1 5 110 4 2 1 11 Tot.Tls 26-65 6-21 37-45 43 95 12 19 " 9 FG% 1st: 10-26/.385 2nd 3PT% lst:2-10/.200 2nd: FT% 1st: 12-I4/.857 2nd; 13-33/..V)4 Game: .400 4-10/.400 Game: .286 18-22/.818 Game: .822 Score by Halves: Illinois Michigan hi 38 iA 2nd OT( 44 9 48 13 lame 91 95 A: 11,367 2000-01 FlCHTlNG In INI BaSKEIBALL 2000 Csttne Summaries uir GA ME I 6 Penn State 76 niinois 87 Jan. 22, 2000 Assembly Hall, Champaign, III. Illinois ended its three game losing skid with a home victory over Penn State, 87-76, to move to 2-3 in the Big Ten Conference. Freshman Brian Cook earned his first career start, in place of the injured Marcus Griffin. Cook responded brilliantly by calmly knocking down five of five shots in the first half to pace the lllini. Cory Bradford, who missed some easy shots early in the game, finally got the ball to drop. He nailed rwo treys, including one at the buzzer to lead all scorers with 1 1 points as the lllini took a 43-32 lead into halftime. In the second half the lllini started to pull away thanks to the scoring duo of Cook and Frank Williams. Williams was a spark plug off the bench, scoring 16 points in 31 minutes ol action. The lead grew to as many as 17 points and it looked as though Penn State could get no closer as the lllini defense had frustrated jarrett Stephens, holding him to a season low 10 points. But the Lions remained close thanks to the play ol guard Joe Crispin. Crispin, who had scored 30 points in the Assembly Hall last season in a PSU victory, had just five points in the first half while sitting for 10 of the 20 minutes. But in the second half, Crispin was automatic, scoring from behind the arc, on drives, and at the free throw line. Crispin finished with 31 points, but it was not enough to offset the balanced lllini attack, which saw all ten players register in the scoring column.

Illinois controlled the first half, jumping out to as much as a 15 point advantage when Cory Bradford's trey made it 34-19. But in the final five minutes of the half Iowa began connecting Irom three-point range, cutting the deficit in half 40-32 by the break. Early in the second half, the Hawkeyes made their run, clamping down on defense and converting oppor- tunities on offense. The lllini saw a nine point lead turn into a five point deficit as the Hawkeyes went on a 20- 6 run. Lon Kruger called timeout to settle down his ttoops down with under seven minutes remaining. Just when it looked as though the lllini had let another big lead slip away, the team responded when it counted most. Frank Williams was the catalyst on ofTense, driving to the lane and either finishing or dumping it off to Brian Cook for easy baskets. The defense was intense, led by Sergio McClain's pressure on Dean Oliver and Robert Archibald hitting the boards. The result was a powerful closing run of 18-2 to pre- serve the victory, as the Hawkeyes managed just two free throws in the final seven minutes. mil FG-A 3P-A FT-A REB PTS A TO B S Archibald 3-5 0-0 0-1 10 6 10 1 Cook 7-13 0-1 5-6 4 19 3 2 Bradford 2-12 1-5 0-0 7 5 3 4 Williams 4-8 0-2 4-5 5 12 4 1 4 McClain 5-6 0-0 4-6 3 14 1 2 2 ChukwudebeO-2 0-0 0-0 2 10 Johnson 0-0 0-0 0-0 10 Harrington 0-0 0-0 0-0 10 Brown 3-8 1-4 0-1 3 7 2 1 Krupalija 3-5 0-10-1 6 6 2 10 Totals 27-59 2-13 13-20 43 69 13 14 10 FG% 1st; 18-34/.529 2nd; 9-25/.360 Game; .458 3PT% 1st: 2-11/. 182 2nd: 0-2/.000 Game: .154 FT% 1st; 2-4/.500 2nd; 11-I6/.688 Game: .650 Iowa FG-A 3P-A FT-A REB PTS A TO B S Griffin 2-8 1-4 0-0 3 Thompson 1-3 0-1 0-0 3 Jaacks 3-9 2-5 4-5 4 Oliver 4-12 1-4 4-6 2 Luehrsmann 4-8 2-4 0-0 3 Price 2-2 1-1 0-0 Fermino 1-1 0-0 1-2 2 Gomes 0-0 0-0 0-2 1 Henderson 4-6 0-0 O-I 4 5 2 4 2 10 12 3 13 5 3 4 10 1 1 10 5 10 1 3 8 3 Galloway 0-2 0-2 0-0 3 110 21-51 7-21 9-16 29 58 11 15 1 5 Totals FG% 1st; 12-27/.444 2nd; 9-24/.375 Game 3PT% 1st: 3-9/.333 2nd: 4-12/.333 Game FT% 1st: 5-10/.500 2nd;4-6/.667 Game Score by Halves; 1st 2nd Game A Illinois 40 29 69 Iowa 32 26 58 .412 .333 .563 \o>^ GA ME I 8 Illinois 66 #9 Michigan St, 91 Jan. 30, 2000 Breslin Center, East Lansing, Mich. Illinois saw its rwo game winning streak come to a halt in East Lansing, courtesy of Michigan State. The Spartans dominated the boards to take a commanding 91-66 victory, the worst defeat for the lllini since a 92- 56 loss at Temple on Dec. 10, 1991 Illinois fell behind by 12 during the first 10 minutes, due to MSU's second chance points and the hot shoot- ing of Morris Peterson. The lllini were able to trim the lead down to six at 32-26, but Michigan State closed the half with a 17-4 run behind six points from Charlie Bell and a pair of driving layups by Mateen Cleaves. Michigan State, which enjoyed a 22-6 advantage on the boards in the first hall, continued to attack the glass in the second. And the Spartan defense was just as aggressive, holding the lllini to just one free throw by Robert Archibald over the fitst nine minutes of the sec- ond stanza. By then MSU had opened up its biggest margin of the game at 36 points, a deficit from which the mini could not recover Although the lllini had just 1 1 turnovers and shot 48 percent from the field, rebounding was the key and the lllini were beaten 41-16 on the boards for the game.

After two straight road gaincs, Illinois came back to the Aisembly Hall and was a 73-59 winner over the vis- iting Minnesota Golden Gophers Wednesday night. Illinois came out and applied pressure on both ends of the floor, and jumped out to a huge advantage. After Kevin Burleson hit a three-pointer on the first posses- sion ot the game, the Illini scored 20 unanswered points to open up a seventeen point lead eight minutes into the game. Minnesota cut the lead down to ten, but the Illini pushed it back up to 18 after a basket by Victor Chukwudebe and back to back threes from Sean Harrington and Frank Williams. Illinois took a 39-28 lead into halftime. Terrence Simmons started the Gopher rally in the second half scoring Minnesota's first eight points as the lead was all of the sudden down to three points. But the Gophers would get no closer the rest of the way. Brian Cook's mid-range jumpers and the defensive intensity of Frank Williams (4 steals, 8 defensive rebounds) and Lucas Johnson (3 steals) carried the Illini to victory.

In the second half PSU warmed up while the Illini went cold from the floor. A twelve point lead at the 1 7-minute mark turned into a two point deficit as the Lions went on a 14-0 run. PSU began conneaing on the three-ball, with Crispin nailing two and Titus Ivory one as the hosts held onto a one point lead.

Aftet a PSU basket, Illinois had a shot clock violarion and the Lions had a chance to tie. Joe Crispin drove the lane and was fouled, but opened up a gash over his eye on the drive. He was imable to shoot the free throws, and was replaced by Brandon Watkins, who made one of two to make it 51-50. PSU fouled Brian Cook with :23 left, but Cook missed the ftont end of the bonus and the Lions called umeout. Gyasi Cline-Heard was then fouled on a dunk attempt with just :04 on the clock. Cline-Heard, a 39 percent foul shooter, missed both free throws and the Lions fouled Cook with :03 left. Cook again missed, leaving the Lions one more chance. PSU threw a ftrll length pass to Cline-Heard, who turned and had a clean look at a 1 5 footer. The shot bounced off the rim as the horn sounded, as the Illini escaped with the win.

Michigan builta 12-3 lead eight minutes into the game after holding the Illini to just one field goal, a lajoip by Frank Williams. Although the UM zone defense was giving Illinois fits , Michigan switched to man and from there the tide started to turn. That nine point deficit turned into a two point advantage for the Illini in less than seven minutes, with most of the damage being done at the free throw line. The story of the game came when Marcus Griffin checked in during the first half just 16 days after hav- ing arthroscopic surgery on his left knee. Griffin got the fans involved and gave the Illini an inpsirational lift, as the hosts took a 34-28 lead into the locker room. Cory Bradford, who went off for 28 points against the Wolverines in Ann Arbor, continued his hot shoot- ing against the foe. Bradford scored eight of Illinois' first 15 points in the second stanza as the lead grew to double digits. Michigan cut the lead down to seven with five min- utes left but the Illini responded with a crucial 12-1 run, led by seven points from Bradford, to put the game out of reach and move the Illini to 6-4 in Big Ten play.

Illinois extended its winning streak to five games with a 89-80 road victory over Minnesota on Thursday night. The Illini took their first lead less than three minutes into the game, and held it the entire way, despite a bar- rage of runs by the Gophers. Minnesora showed zone throughout the game, and the Illini made them pay by hitting from downtown. Frank Williams hit his first three treys of the game, while Harrington, Bradford, and Johnson each con- nected with one as Illinois nailed 6-of-14 threes in the first half on the way to a five point lead at halftime. Minnesota narrowed the deficit to 47-46 early in the second half but the Illini responded with a 14-4 run, led by two threes from Bradford and solid play from reserve Nate Mast, who was running the point while allowing Williams to rest. Mast had a pair of assists and scored four points in just six minutes of action. Minnesota trimmed the lead down again, this time to 72-68 with five minutes left. This time Illinois answered with another three by Johnson, and then a steal by Williams, who scored on the breakaway and was fouled for the thtee point play. Again the Gophers cut it to four points, 82-78, with 1:12 on the clock. But the Illini made 7-of-8 free throws in the final minute to hold on for the win.

In a back-and-torth contest that saw ten ties and nine lead changes, Illinois made enough plays down the stretch to put itself in position to win. And with the game on the line, Cory Bradford took it from there. It took 39 minutes and 58.7 seconds for Bradford to extend his streak of made three pointers. In a game dead- locked at 69 all with less than a minute left, Illinois' defense forced Indiana center Kirk Haston to fire up a three with the shot clock winding down. After the miss, Illinois called timeout with seven seconds left to diagram the play. Illinois was supposed to get the ball in to Frank Williams and let him create and either shoot or pass. But Indiana eleaed not to guard the inbounds pass, and instead denied Williams the ball by double teaming him. Kruger quickly improvised, direaing Sergio McClain to throw into Brian Cook and immediately get the ball back. McClain did, and he drove hard to the basket once the ball was returned to him. Indiana's defense was beaten, so they had no choice but to collapse towards McClain under the basket. Sergio kicked it out to a wide-open Bradford, who drilled the game wanning three -pointer with 1.3 left, his first three of the game which extended his streak to 60 straight games with a made three-pointer, and more importantly advanced Illinois to the semifinals.

And unfor- tunately for the IHini, the results mirrored the previous meeting as the Spartans worked their way to a 15-point victory. • llhnois hung tight in the early going, taking the lead on three separate occasions, capitahzed by a Cleotis Brown break-away dunk for a 16-15 lead. But with seven Tiinutes left in the first half, Cory Bradford had his nose broken after being hit with an inadverdant elbow in the lane. Bradford was out for the rest of the half and the lllini oftense seemed to sputter. Meanwhile, MSU went on a 9-2 run to take control at 24-18. A last-second three by Cleotis Brown cut the halftime Spartan lead to eight. Bradford returned to the lineup in the second haJf, but it was not enough to counter Illinois' poor shooting or slow down the Spartans, who buit the lead up to 16 points (55-39} after back-to-back threes by Mateen Cleaves. Illinois tried pressing and louling at the end, but could never get the deficit below 10 points. The lllini shot just 31 percent for the game, their second lowest FG percentage of the season. Frank Williams led the way with 11 points for the lllini, while Bradford and Brown were in double figures with 10 points each.

A team, led by its pla\'ing captain Roy R i I ey, beat Cham paign High School Jan. 6, two weeks before H.ma was able to replace Riley with a "pro- fessional" coach. Elwood Brown became Illinois first basketball coach Jan. 20. 1 906, and proceeded to turn in a commendable coaching job, especially since the squad lost two of its mainstays during the season. "The results of the season were on the whole satisFaaor)'. In the ftiture, there will not be such a lack of material as hampered the coach (Brown) this season."" wrote the 1907 illio. 1905-06 (6-8, 3-6) Coach: Elwood Brown Captains: (elected each game) Lineup: f Stewart, fTallmadge, c Riley, g Dadant, g Juul, g Ryan J 12 "1 Champaign High School (m Urbani) . .4 (W) J 20 27 Indiana (at Urbana) 24 (W) J 27 25 Purdue (at Urbana) 19 (W) F 2 19 at Minnesota 32 (L) F S 23 Wheaton 21 fW) F8 15 at Evanston Y.M.C.A 51 (L) F 9 14 at Chicago 49 (L) F 10 28 at Wheaton 37 (L) F 14 31 Oberlin 25 (W) F 16 7 at Indiana 38 (L) F 17 22 at Purdue 48 (L) F 24 24 Chicago 21 (W) F 28 25 Minnesota 27 (L) M 3 32 Wisconsin 35 (L) Big len: 4th place Head Coach F.L. Pinckney (1 year, 1-10, .090) Pinckne)' took over the coaching reins for a year in 1907. There was promise for a good season after the solid start the program had made in 1906. More than 100 men tried out for the team. Pinckney found at least three freshman he thought would help the team and placed tliem on the var- sity squad. However, the Western Conference Committee declared the three ineligible, leaving Pinckney with a much depleted team and Illinois with its worst record e\'er. The decision to make the freshmen ineligible gave Pinckne)' the same problem Brown faced the year before - turning out a winning team with limited talent. 1906-07 (1-10,0-8) Coach: F.L.

His 20-6 team of 1908 benefited from a long Soudiern trip in which the team beat several YMCA and club teams from Tennessee, Texas, Alabama, and Georgia. The club was billed as a closely- knit group, due in part to the long trip. The players, however, did not appear to appreciate Lane's coaching sr)'le. M.G. Dadant. the 1908 captain wrote. "Handicapped as they were by the lack of any competent coaching, the players went through die season in perfect harmony each one relinquishing any personal feelings diat the team might be better as a whole." 1907-08 (20-6, 6-5) Coach: Fletchei Lane Captain: M.G.

Craig Ruby (14 years, 148-95, .609) J. Cr.iig Ruby was known as one of the gR'.u basketball tacticians oi his time. He and legendan- Kansas coach Phog Allen actively cam- paigned together tor higher boskets to ortset the advan- tage ot tall centers. Ruby alone advocated the elimi- nation ot the dribble to do awav with stalling, and wanted the hoop cnLirged to 20 inches in diameter rather than the standard IS. Ruby's second season at Illinois produced a tie for the Big Ten championship in 1924. but it was not until 1935 [hat he could lead his team to tie for top conference honors again. 1922-23 (9-6. 7-5) Coach: J.

H 1915 Big Ten Champions Illinois posts a perfect 16-0 record and is named national champion by the Helms Foundation y 1924 Big Ten Champions Over the course of 95 years, the University of lUinois has enjoyed the creation of a stellar basketball tradition that includes Final Four appearances, All- Americans, Academic All-Americans, NBA first- round draft selections, and a place among the nation's elite basketball programs year-in and year-out. The University of Illinois basketball tra- dition got its start when the Big Ten Conference, officially began playing basketball in 1906. At the time the member schools of the "Intercollegiate Conference of Faculty Representatives", or "Western Conference", or "Big Ten Conference'" as it was known were University of Chicago, University of Illinois, University of Michigan, University of Minnesota, Northwestern University, Purdue University, and the Universit}' of Wisconsin. 1906-1909 (34-30) The first official game in Illinois history was a 71-4 romp over Champaign High School in Urbana on Jan. 12, 1906. The first four years of Illinois hoops saw four different coaches who combined for a 34-,^0 record. In the first season of Illinois basketball the Illini went 6-8, 3-6 in the Big Ten under head coach Elwood Brown. The following season the Illini"s record dropped to 1-10, 0-8 under F.L. Pickney. A new coach, Fletcher Lane, and a new season arrived in 1907- 08 and the Illini posted a 20-8 record and went 6-5 in the conference. Despite a successful sea- son, the Illini underwent its fourth coaching change in as many years and new mentor Herb V. Juul stayed two seasons { 1 909 and 1910) and was 7-6 his inaugural year and 5-4 the next season. • Big Ten grows to eight teams with the addi- tion of Iowa in the 1907 season. 1910-1919 (95-48) The new decade brought the program an extend- ed taste of success. In the 1910s Illinois won two Big Ten tides, in 1915 and 1917, and compiled a 95-48 record including a perfect 16-0 record in 1915. That 1915 season was the third in the eight-year tenure of head coach Ralph Jones and it produced the only unbeaten season in Illini history and the first Big Ten title for the Illinois basketball program. Following the perfect season the Illinois team was named national champions by the Helms Foundation. Jones" 1915 team scored twice as many points as its opponents and won the conference title by three games over Chicago. The arrival of the Woods brothers in 1915 had a lot to do with the success of this era. Guard Ray Woods 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 1917. His consistency at the free throw line led to the establishment of the Ralf Woods Award, which is still given annually to the Fighting Illini player with the best free-throw percentage. Illinois followed up its conference champi- onship season with a second-place finish after posting a 13-3 record. The Illini dropped two games to Northwestern and one to eventual champion Wisconsin, but the first loss to the Wildcats was the Illinis first-ever overtime game as Northwestern scored two points in the over- time period to beat Illinois, 23-21, Feb. 12, 1916, at what is now the Kenney Gym Annex. In 1918, Jones and the Illini picked up their second conference championship crown in three years as Illinois went 13-3 overall and 10-2 in league games. The 1917 team featured a starting guard named George Halas. The professional football pioneer and former Chicago Bear owner and head coach was known on the team for his gritty defense and he wis named captain of the 1918 squad before entering the armed forces Jan. 18, 1918. • Big Ten grows to nine teams with addition of Ohio State in the 1913 season. • Big Ten grows to 10 teams with addition of Michigan in the 1918 season. 1920-29 (99-68) Jones led the Illini into the decade ot the 1920s and started off this period with a 9-4 record and a third-place finish in the Big Ten in 1920. The following season a new mentor, Frank Wmters, was in Champaign-Urbana and his rwo-year stay produced an 11-7 mark in 1921 and a 14-5 record in 1922. Illinois Athletic Director George Huff replaced Winters with J. Craig Ruby, whose 14- year tenure at Illinois is the third longest in pro- gram history. In his first three seasons. Ruby led the Illini to a 31-18 record and a share of the conference title with Wisconsin in 1924. In 1924, Illinois was 11-6 overall and 8-4 in the Big Ten. After winning Illinois' third conference title in 1924, Ruby's Illini matched the win mark the following year (11-6, 8-4) but dropped to third 148 2000-01 Fighting Illini Basketball Ulinois BasKetball History \13/ «t to 2 r 1935 Big Ten Champions 1 940*s Illinois ranklTJth fllitionaff jn win percentage (.728) 1943 Big Ten Champions l* I » M Ofkie Eddleman j^ ^ 1937 Big Ten Champions 1942 BigTen Champions place in the standings.

Illinois won its first game at the new gym, 23-22. The remainder of the decade saw Illinois go 10-7 in both 1927 and 1929 taking fourth and fifth in the league standings, and 9-8 in 1926. The only losing season in Ruby's Illinois career came with a 5-12 mark in 1928 and it is one of only 12 los- ing seasons in the University's 95-year history. 1930-39 (120-61) In the decade of the 1930s Illinois picked up Big Ten championships number four and five in 1935 and 1937. In 1935 the Illini squad was 5-3 after its first eight games, but tallied in the clos- ing stretch of the season and won its last tour contests to grab a share of the conference title. A new star on the playing floor emerged in the 1933 season with the addition of Harry Combes to the roster. Combes, a thtee-year letterwinner, starred for the Illini from 1935-37 and later returned to his alma mater as head coach of the Illini in 1948. Combes helped lead Illinois to both its BigTen titles in the 1930s. Ruby closed out his coaching tenure in 1935- 36 leading Illinois to a 13-6 record, 7-5 in the Big Ten, and third place in the league standings. The man chosen to replace Ruby was Douglas Mills. In his 1 1-year tenure as head coach. Mills established himself as the first coach in Illinois history to win or share three Big Ten champi- onships. In his first season, 1936-37, Mills' Illini squad ^1 r r* 1949 BigTen Champioi captured a share of the Big Ten championship with a 10-2 league record. The Illini were 14-4 overall. Following that season, the men's gymna- sium got a new name, George Huff Gymnasium, after former Illinois athletic director George Huff, who passed away on Oct. 1, 1936. During the championship season, future major league baseball Hall of Famer Lou Boudreau led the team in scoring with 8.7 points per game. 1940-49 (130-36) The decade of the 1940s brought much success to Illinois basketball. Head Coach Doug Mills led the Illini to consecutive BigTen titles in 1942 and 1943. The Illini would add another league championship under Harry Combes in 1949. The Illini were the 13th-winningest Division I team in the nation in the 1940s. Illinois' 150-57 record and .725 winning percentage was the best in the Big Ten. In 1941, Mills added to his coaching duties when he was named the school's director of athletics. That same year Art Mathisen atrived in Champaign in what would soon become the creation of the tamed "Whiz Kids." In 1942, joining Mathisen were Jack Smiley, Andy Phillip, Gene Vance and Ken Menke, who captuted the attention of the entire nation while winning back-to-back conference titles and combining tor a 35-6 record, 25-2 in the Big Ten over those two seasons. To this day the "Whiz Kids" remain one of the most storied teams in Illinois history. They dazzled crowds everywhere averaging 58 points per game, while most teams were averaging in the low 40s. 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 the play professionally, and Phillip became a member of the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. After the departure of the Whiz Kids, Mills faced a major rebuilding job. Mills closed out his time as head coach at Illinois in the 1947 season. That mark coincided with the return ot the "Whiz Kids" from military service. A crowd of 7,785, the largest home crowd to that point in Illinois history, jammed into Huff Gym to see their return on Dec. 6, 1946, against Cornell. The Whiz Kids played only the first half of the game in building a 49-13 lead, and the Illini won 87-39. The Illini opened league play with two losses and dug theit way back to a second-place finish by winning eight of their last 10 games. After retiring from coaching. Mills retained his position as athletic director until 1966. Fotmer Illini Harry Combes was re-associated with the program when he was selected to replace Mills as head coach of the Fighting Illini. He had previously served as head coach at Champaign High School. In his first nine seasons at Illinois, he won three Big Ten titles and compiled an amazing record of 164-44 overall (.788) and 94- 30 in the BigTen (.738). Combes first team at Illinois in 1947-48, led by Dike Eddleman and Jack Burmaster, set a Big Ten scoring record with 1 ,530 points, en route to a 15-5 overall record and 7-5 league finish.
