In the process, Fighting lllini Head Coach Bruce Weber became just the third coach in the histo- ry of the Big Ten Conference to win an outright Big Ten title in his first season with Illinois' march to the title. Illinois had to win its final 10 conference games to claim the Big Ten championship, including six-straight wins on the road. In the final week of the reg- ular season, Illinois posted a pair of dramatic road victories, first at Purdue in overtime to clinch a share of the title, and then at Ohio State to win the outright championship. "THE SHOT" With Illinois tied 79-79 at Purdue in overtime, Luther Head grabs an offensive rebound off a miss by Roger Powell and puts back a contested shot with the clock winding down. "THE AFTERMATH" The lllini bench and hundreds of UI fans who, decked out in orange, traveled to the game, erupt in celebration after Head's put- back goes in, giving the lllini an 81-79 victory.

Celebrating 100 Years of Fighting lllini Basketball HOME COURT ADVANTAGE Illinois owns the best home court record in the nation over the last five years with a 63-3 mark. When it's time to take the game on the court, Illinois has an outstanding home in Assembly Hall. The Hall has served as home to the Fighting Illini since its construction in 1963 and in 1999 it became even better after a multi-million dollar construction project that brought the team a new locker room, state-of- the-art training room, a dining area and a new tunnel area to accommodate network television trucks and team buses. Illinois opened play at the Assembly Hall on March 4, 1 963 with a 79-73 victory over Northwestern. Since that first game, the Illini have racked up a 436-1 19 (.786) mark. Since 1963, Illinois has sold out 158 games at the Assembly Hall, which seats 16,500. Illinois set an all-time attendance record on March 9, 1996 when 16,863 fans jammed into the Hall to witness Lou Henson's final regular season game as head coach. In the past five seasons, Illinois has produced a 63-3 record at home, the best home court record in the nation over that time span. In addition to hosting the Fighting Illini, the Assembly Hall also holds performances for Broadway musicals, concerts and other shows. In the past few years, the WWE, Dave Chappelle, Ludacris, Ja Rule, Prince, Dave Matthews, Incubus, KISS, Matchbox 20 and the Dixie Chicks were some of the performers that took the stage at Assembly Hall. Illinois Basketball Centennial Season HOME COURT ADVANTAGE "The Assembly Hall can be an intimidating place. When you combine the Orange Krush, the lllini band and a very intense fan base, it makes for a great home court advantage. The suc- cess over the last five years with a 63-3 record backs it up." -Illinois Head Coach Bruce Weber NATIONAL ATTENDANCE LEADERS Each of the last 28 years, the Big Ten Conference has won the national attendance title for home games. In 2004, 2,122,586 total fans passed through the turnstiles for a 12,787 per game average. The Big Ten set the national record in 2000-01 as the League drew a record 2,342,022 fans, or 13,383 per game. The Big Ten saw six of its programs rank among the top 25 nationally, including ILLINOIS, which ranked ninth with an average of 16,072 fans per game. Six times the lllini have played before a crowd of over 30,000 fans. On Dec. 6, 1997 the Illinois-Saint Louis game drew a crowd of 32,429 at the TWA Dome in St. Louis. It was the largest crowd to ever watch a basketball game in the state of Missouri and it ranks as the sixth-largest crowd to ever watch a Fighting lllini game. 2003-04 Attendance Leaders (Home Games, Avg.) 1.

Prior to the game, head football coach Ron Turner threw out the ceremonial first pitch. Not to be out- shone, Coach Bruce Weber and Illini players Dee Brown, Roger Powell, Luther Head, James Augustine, Jack Ingram and Jerrance Howard took over the microphones during the seventh-inning stretch to lead the stadium in the singing of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame".

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 1 926, Assistant Band Director Ray Dvorak conceived the idea of performing an American Indian dance during half- time of the Illinois vs. Pennsylvania football game in Philadelphia. Lester Leutwiler, a student interested in Indian lore, was chosen for the role. Leutvviler's performance, done in a homemade costume, 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 performances now was purchased in 1983 from Sioux Chief Frank Fools Crow, and is topped by a headdress of turkey feathers. This year marks the 78th year of Chief Illiniwek. 20 Illinois Basketball Centennial Season SCHOOL SPIRIT HAIL TO THE ORANGE HAIL TO THE BLUE HAIL ALMA MATER, EVER SO TRUE.

Krush membership has risen dramatically to well over 700 screaming Illinois students sitting courtside, support- ing Head Coach Bruce Weber and the Illinois men's basketball team. Members arrive hours before the game to get the best seats on the floor on game day, with the line of Orange Krush stu- dents waiting for the doors to open extending nearly halfway around the Assembly Hall. Not only is the Orange Krush con- sidered the nation's premier basketball student section, but it is a charity foundation as well. All students inter- ested in member- ship in the Orange Krush must partici- pate in the Orange Krush 3-point shot program, which raises money for load charities. Founded in 1998, the Orange Krush Foundation (formerly Team Krush Foundation) is a University of Illinois stu- dent-run Foundation intent on improving rhe quality of life for the youth and young adults of the Champaign-Urbana and campus com- unity by providing financial support and mu ibuting community service to area not- to-r-prol it organizations. Since the inception of the Orange Krush Foundation six years ago, Krush members have raised and donated over 5600,000 to charity. The Orange Krush Foundation is almost entirely student-run and has donated funds to worthy causes including The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, Make-A- Wish Foundation, and Developmental Services Center. In addition, the Orange Krush Foundation creat- ed the Matthew Heldman Memorial Scholarship Fund, which honors Matthew Heldman, a point guard for the 1997-1998 Big Ten Championship Team, who was tragically killed in a car accident in 1999. The fond, in his name, endows a scholarship for a future Illlni bas- ketball player. After five years, the Orange Krush fulfilled the $250,000 commitment, and the fond is fully endowed. During the 2003 season, the Orange Krush Foundarion announced the formation of rhe Rod Cardinal Sports Medicine Fund. This fund pays tribute to Rod Cardinal, who was the University of Illinois men's basketball athletic trainer for 30 years. This endowment benefits all student trainers at the University of Illinois, which in turn benefits all varsity athletic teams.

A reunion celebration will be held at the Assembly Hall on Jan. 29 follow- ing Illinois' game vs. Minnesota. Alma Mater The Alma Mater statue is one of the most recognized landmarks on the Illinois campus. It was given to the university in 1928 by Illinois graduate and sculptor Lorado Taft. The inscription at the base of the statue reads "To dry happy children or the future, those of the past send greetings." The statue was moved to its present location in front of Altgeld Hall in 1962 and it now serves as a welcome at the entrance of the Quad. The Altgeld Bells The 132-foot tall Altgeld Hall bell tower is another well known campus landmark. The tower houses 1 5 bells that weigh in at a combined 1 5,625 pounds. The bells, which were installed in 1920, chime on the hour and at fif- teen minute intervals automatically while other selections, including the UI Alma Mater 'Hail to the Orange,' are played at special concerts that take place during the course of rhe year, Quad Day, Homecoming week, the Illini Union's anniversary and Commencement week- end. The Flyin' Illini The 1989 Illinois basketball season was a fitting end to the '80s Belong to the Illini' decade. The 1 989 team, dubbed the Flyin' Illini, went 31-5, earned a No. 1 seed in the Midwest Region and advanced to the Final Four. Illinois was the 14th winningest program in the nation in the 1980s, posting a record of 233-90 (.721). Illinois enjoyed nine 20-win seasons and finished in the top lour ol the Big Ten eight times. Hail to the Orange The Illinois Alma Mater and die centerpiece of the Marching Illini's "Three-In-One" halfnme performance is one tradition almost every Illini fan knows. While Chief Illiniwek stands at attention on the 50-yard line or at center court, alumni, students and diehard Illini fans alike link arms across the stands while singing the Alma Mater. Homecoming Homecoming, a tradition on just about every college campus in the United States, all began at the University of Illinois. The Homecoming celebration was conceived in 1909 by UI students OF. (Dab) Williams and W. Elmer Ekblaw, members of the Shield and Trident senior society. Homecoming is now coordinated by the Chancellor's Committee to Support Homecoming and the Student Alumni Association. The week- long celebration now includes campus decorations, a Homecoming 5K race, student service projects, "Lunch on the Quad," special "Comeback Guests," the traditional Friday night parade and pep rally on the UI campus and post-game social events. Orange Krush Orange Krush, one of the most recognizable student cheering sections in the nation, numbers over 700 screaming students courtside at all Illinois home games. In 1998, the group started the Orange Krush Foundation, and to date they have raised over $600,000. The Foundation supports one endowed scholar- ship, die Matthew Heldman Memorial Scholarship, for a men's basksetball player, in honor of the late point guard from Illinois' 1997-98 Big Ten Championship Team, and the Rod Cardinal Sports Medicine Fund ($300,000) to benefit the Sports Medicine program at the UI, in honor of the long-rime Illini baskerball trainer. Think Orange. Wear Orange. Over the past four seasons, a sea of orange has appeared on Game Day at Assembly Hall as Illini fans dress in all orange. It all started on Feb. 6, 2001 , when a sold-out crowd responded ro 'Paint the Hall Orange' night by showing up in all orange and cheering Illinois to a 77-66 win over Michigan State at home en route ro the 2001 Big Ten Chamionship. The Whiz Kids To this day the Whiz Kids remain one of the most sto- ried teams in Illinois history. In 1942-43, Art Mathisen, Jack Smiley, Andy Phillip, Gene Vance and Ken Menke came together to capture the attention of the entire nation while winning back-ro-back Big Ten titles and combining for a 35-6 record, 25-2 in the confer- ence. The team broke up on March 1, 1943, when all five starters headed to active duty in the armed forces.

Celebrating 100 Years of Fighting lliini Basketball 25 STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING There is no question that physi- cal and mental dominance of an opponent is the goal of ever)' major basketball program in the country and a sports specific strengdi and condi- tioning program plays a vital part of the success of any basketball ream. Jimmy Price, the strength and conditioning coor- dinator for men's basketball, is committed to the physical and mental development of each and every Illini basketball player. "The bortom line is that the team which dominates its opponent physically and mentally is going to win the game," Price said. "It is our personal mission to put each player in the best pos- sible position to be success- fid on the basketball court." The strength and condi- tioning program is designed to make each stu- dent-athlete a better basket- ball player. There are many different contributing lac- tors to physical dominance in the sport of basketball, but the one consistent factor is the need for power production. Basketball athletes require a training program that has a main focus on the development of power. Incorporating the Olympic lifting tech- niques (clean, jerk, squats and variations of each) into training gives the student- athlete the ability to increase the power that a student-athlete can produce. The Basketball Strengrh and Condirioning program philosophies are based on 10 key principles: 1. Ground Based Activities: Select lifting exercises and condirioning drills that apply force with the feet against the ground such as cleans, jerks and squats. 2. Multiple Joint Actions: Multiple joint actions improve your arhletic perform- ance by coordinating simultaneous mus- cle contractions and movements. 3. Three Dimensional Movements: Sport skills involve movements in three planes of space simultaneously: forward-back- ward, up-down, and from side-to-side. In ;ngth training only free weights allow rs in three dimensions simulta- 4. Train Explosively: The amount of force required tor a given activity is regu- lated by the use of two different types of motor unirs found in the body: fasr rwitch and slow twitch. These factors combined mean a fast twitch fiber can generate up to four times greater force that a slow twitch fiber, which is key to being explosive on the basketball court. 5. Progressive Overload: Application of the load has crucial impact on maximiz- ing performance and keeping sport injuries to a minimum. Overload occurs when the body responds to training loads greater than normal. Intensity and vol- ume are the key factors used to progres- sively increase the overload. The use of heavier loads increases the intensity, which increases the tensile strenath of the muscle group being trained. 6. Application and Periodization: Use different combinations of volume and intensity to generate different body responses. Volume and inrensity will be determined by the season of the sport. 7. Split Routine: The split routine allows good recovery and rebuilding as well as at least two full days of recover)' from each exercise. 8. Speed Day/Strength Day: Each train- ing day is designated by the type and velocity of the movements being per- formed. 9. Train the Correct Energy System: The primary objecrive of conditioning is to improve your energy capacity and, diere- fore, improve your performance. This means that if your sport requires explo- sive movements, then the training should be tailored around this principle. 10. Proper Sports Nutrition: This con- cept is of the utmost importance and is often most overlooked by student-ath- letes. Each and every variable in this area affects the outcome of the training day and the future of the next training ses- sion. Many student-athletes take this area for granted, which is a critical mistake because it is vital to completely replenish used energy stores. If this does not hap- pen, recover)' for the next workout will be compromised. "The use of these 10 principles is key in the process in developing explosive athlet- ic basketball players," Price said. "It is crucial for basketball stu- dent-athletes to maximize their explosive potential on the court. We think this type of training will have the greatest effect not only on the vertical jump but also the other vital skills that it takes to become a superior bas- ketball athlete." Working closely with athletic trainer Al Marrindale and the coaching staff is the most effec- tive way to implement and moni- tor an effecrive workout regime that best suits the individual needs of the student-athlete. Price uses a hands-on method of coaching for teaching proper techniques and lifting methods. "Toughness begins with practice and training. You cannot expect to be mental- ly tough in a game if you are not mental- ly tough during practice and training," Price said. Basketball Training Program Goals: • Maximize basketball athleticism by increasing the vertical jump. • Increase lateral speed and explosion. • Increase absolute strengdi. • Increase explosive power through Olympic lifting. • Increase sports specific agility. • Increase level of anaerobic basketball conditioning and mental toughness. • Strengthen joints and poorly developed muscle groups in order to prevent injuries. • Enhance nutritional habits to optimize lean body mass to fat mass rario. "It is a long and rigorous season," Price concluded. "The team that is in the best shape mentally and physically will rise above rhe competition at the end of the season. All of our training and practices are focused around one goal: winning in March and April." 26 llinois Basketball Centennial Season STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING Basketball Strength Room Fighting Illini basketball players have the opportunity improve their strength and conditioning at a state-of-the-art facility within the Ubben Basketball Practice Facility.

Hometown: Milwaukee, Wis. Family: Wife, Megan; Children, Hannah, Christy and Emily Education High School: Milwaukee Marshall High School (1974) College: University of Wisconsin- Milwaukee (B.S., education, 1978) Coaching Experience: Western Kentucky Asst. Coach, 1980 Purdue Asst. Coach, 1981-98 Southern Illinois Head Coach, 1999-2003 Illinois Head Coach, 2004-05 Coach Weber Has Been A Part Of 22 Postseason Appearances And 10 Conference Championships During His 25-Year Coaching Career. It took just one season for Bruce Weber to etch his name in the Big Ten and Illinois record books after leading the Fighting Illini to their first outright Big Ten title in 52 years during the 2003-04 season. In leading his young team that featured just one senior on the roster, Weber became just the third coach in the history of the Big Ten to win an outright title in his first season at a school. Illinois had to win 10 straight to end the regular season to claim the champi- onship, including six-straight wins on the road. It marked the first time since 1956 that the Illini won at least 10 con- ference games in a row. Weber joins Wisconsin's Guy Lowman in 1918 and Minnesota's Bill Musselman in 1972 as the only league coaches to win an outright title in their first seasons. He is also just the 1 1th Big Ten coach to at least share a Big Ten title in his first season. Weber also became just the sixth coach in the con- ference since 1951 (when Michigan State joined the league) to defeat every other conference team in his first sea- son. Illinois 1 26 wins in 2003-04 tied the third winnineest season in school histo- ry, and Weber also led Illinois to its third Sweet Sixeen appearance in the past four years with NCAA Tournament victories over Murray State and Cincinnati. Weber took charge as the 16th Fighting Illini men's basketball coach on April 30, 2003, after spending the previous five seasons as head coach at Southern Illinois University. He led the Salukis to the top of the Missouri Valley Conference with championships in 2002 and 2003 before continuing the trend at Illinois where the Illini have now won four Big Ten titles in the last seven seasons. Weber came to Champaign-Urbana after compiling a 103-54 (.656) record in five seasons as the head coach at Southern Illinois University. He gained 18 years of experience in the Big Ten Conference as an assistant at Purdue under Gene Keady, helping the Boilermakers to six Big Ten champi- onships and 17 postseason appearances. Energetic and personable, Weber has appeared on numerous national radio and television programs on networks such as ESPN, Fox Sports and CNN. Fame and success have not changed Weber. He remains generous and hum- ble. On road trips, no job is beneath him as he often helps team managers load the bus or passes out drinks and sandwiches to his players and stall. 33 linois Basketball Centennial Season HEAD COACH BRUCE WEBER "People talk about dream jobs. For me, I had a dream of being a Big Ten head coach, and this is that opportunity - not only to be a Big Ten coach, but also to be in a program that I believe is one of the best in the country, one that has a chance to win a national championship. That's a mouthful, but I believe it can be done." -Illini Head Coach Bruce Weber Weber's warm personality has made him a popular fig- ure in the state of Illinois, as he is a frequent guest at civic clubs, booster club meetings, golf outings and many other speaking engagements.

Weber earned Missouri Valley Conference Coach-of-the-Year honors following the 2003 season. The trademark of the Bruce Weber-led teams has been fundamentally sound defense, holding opponents to 40 percent shooting from the field in 2002 and 2003 and to 42 percent this past season. On the offensive end, the Salukis averaged 75.5 points in 2002 and 74.5 points last season, while Illinois led the Big Ten in scoring this past season, averaging 72.8 points. At the age of 48, Weber has 25 years or coaching experi- ence at the collegiate level with one season at Western Kentucky under Ready before moving with the long- time Boilermaker coach to West Lafayette the following year.

Richmonds Endow Basketball Coach's Position The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has been close to Jack Richmond all his life. The Champaign resident, U of I grad- uate, retired businessman, is a longtime benefactor to his alma mater. A lifelong Fighting Mini fan. Jack Richmond and" his wife, Marge, endowed the salary of the men's basketball head coach position with a gift of $2 million. This gift significantly increased their previous seven-figure com- mitment to the Division of Intercollegiate Athletics. Their generosity extends across the U- C campus. In May 2004, Jack made a six- figure gift creating the Jack C. Richmond Scholarships for the benefit of student ath- letes who are members of the men's varsity gymnastics team. In September 2003, the couple made a $1.5 million gift that will name and dedicate the Richmond Family Gallery, the first floor reception area of the planned University or Illinois Alice Campbell Alumni Center. The Richmonds also provided a $2 million gift to the College of Communications in 1998 that created the Richmond Journalism Teaching Studio, a broadcast facility for journalism students in Campbell Hall for Public Telecommunication. The Richmond Studio and the Richmond Family Gallery honor Jack and Marge as well as the memory of Jack's parents, Arthur Dean and Mildred Hummel Richmond. "The Richmond Family Endowed Men's Head Basketball Coach" is another example of the generations-long benevo- lence of the Richmond family. Jack, whose ancestors helped settle Champaign County, said his parents contributed to the U of I for the construction of Memorial Stadium. Seven-year-old Jack was on hand for the dedication of Memorial Stadium on Oct. 18, 1924, a day forever highlight- ed by Red Grange's five touchdowns dur- ing; an Illinois romp over top-ranked Michigan. Jack has been hooked on Fighting Mini sports ever since. But before Jack could attend the U of I, he learned a few lessons in life. The Richmonds were devastated by die Great Depression, losing their significant holdings of farmland and other assets. The dramatic change in lifestyle had a pro- found effect on Jack. It also made him further appreciate the University of Illinois. His years at the U of I were greatly satisfying. He was a member of Phi Gamma Delta social fraternity and was active in sports. As a freshman gymnast who earned his numerals with the U of I team, Jack said he broke his sternum fol- lowing a dismount from the flying rings. No longer able to compete as a gymnast, he focused his attention on weight train- ing. At that point, weights weren't popular and were nonexistent at the U oil. "I always thought that weight train- ing, 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 to first to the intramural level and then was adopted by the physical educa- tion department as a P.E. course. Today, the benefits of weight training are widely rec- ognized and top-notch equipment is readi- ly available across campus. Jack smiles and says, "I feel like I was 60 years ahead of my time." And those muscles paid off for Jack, who was a railroad worker, wrecking crew- member, meat truck driver, corn detassler, lifeguard, bouncer and even a model for the U of I art school to pay for his educa- tion. He graduated in 1943 with a bache- lor's degree in agriculture. He followed up his four years of ROTC at the U of I with a tour in the Army. Then he put his degree to work when he joined the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Soil Conservation Service as a county farm planner, opening district offices in Macon County and Clark County. Later, Jack was tecruited by a former member of the U of I gymnastics team as a salesman for Marchant Calculators. His Above: Jack and Marge Richmond with Mr. Richmond's mother, Mildred. Right: Jack Richmond, 1940. capacity to sell was exceptional, and he soon had clients from area grain elevator operators to the U of I. He remained with Matchant, 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 mar- ket. He had dabbled in the market since 1955, but by the early 1970s he had the time and resources to become more active in the stock mar- ket. He enjoyed success in this realm as well, and was more than willing to shate. A donor since 1965, his generosity to the U of I increased significantly over the years. Jack and his mother became members of the Ptesidents Council in 1976 and Marge became a mem- ber in 1990. The Richmonds are lifetime mem- bers of the Alumni Association as well. Always interested in ath- letics at the U of I, Jack and Mildted Richmond had made a $1 million commitment to the Athletic Department in 1981. He became an honotary member of the I Man's Association and has been a member and former president of the Mini Quarterback Club since 1955. He also joined the Rebounders Club shortly after former head coach Lou Henson founded it. Jack is also a life member of the Fighting Mini Scholarship Fund. The Richmond name will be forever associated with athletics at the U of J through the endowment of the men's bas- ketball head coach position. Jack said he hopes his gift ensures success for the Fighting Mini basketball program tor future generations through the Richmond Family Endowed Men's Head Basketball Coach. For lifelong Mini fan and generous supporter Jack Richmond, it just doesnt get any better. Celebrating 100 Years of Fighting lllini Basketball 49 2004 BIG TEN CHAMPIONS THE FIGHTING ILLINI 2004-05 OUTLOOK The top 10 scorers return from the 2004 Big Ten championship squad, and expec- tations for the 2005 season are flying high in Champaign-Urbana. In fact, sev- eral preseason prognosticators have the Fighting Illini standing alone April 4 in St. Louis. Bruce Weber begins his second season at the helm after leading the Illini to their first outfight conference title in 52 years with a 13-3 mark last season. Illinois is in a period of unprecedented success with four Big Ten titles in the last seven seasons, including three in the last four years. The Fighting Illini advanced to the Sweet Sixteen in the 2004 NCAA Tournament and are looking for more in 2005. "Last year was such a transition season; now that's over," said Weber. "We fought through it and had success at the end. Now there is no feeling-out period. Here it is. We know our goal. We know each other, and now we're going after it. Our focus is a little different. It's not selling our players on a new system. We have our system, now we have to perfect it so we can play on in late March and April. The kids are much more focused than a year ago." When assessing Weber's squad, one has to start with the backcourt or juniors Dee Brown and Deron Williams, and senior Luther Head. The Illini back- court enters the season rated among the best in the nation by several preseason publications. Williams is coming off a breakout season where he was named First-Team All-Big Ten and is a presea- son Ail-American entering his junior season. Brown used a strong stretch run to earn Second-Team All-Big Ten and honorable-mention All-America honors in 2004. Head made one of the key plays of the 2004 season at the end of an overtime victory at Purdue that clinched a share of the Big Ten title, and scored in double figures in eight of 10 games to end the regular season. Brown illiams are both on the Wooden ison list of Top 50 players. "When people compare our backcourt to some of the best around the country, the element that might separate us is Luther Head, kind of the x-factor," Weber said. "They complement each other well. We're able to play them together against any- body. Then, to solidify that, is (the fact) that the current sophomore class has been through the wars and can help provide quality depth." Williams, a preseason All-America pick by Playboy Magazine, led the Big Ten in assists with an average of 6.2, led the Illini in scoring at 14.0 points per game and ranked second in the Big Ten in assist/turnover ratio. The 6-foot-3-inch Williams enters his junior season as one of the top point guards in the nation and has proven himself as perhaps Illinois' top defensive player. "The thing people noticed most about Deron last year was his shooting," Weber said. "He can make an even bigger jump this year by becoming more consistent. His biggest step is the consistency factor and maturity level, and not following up a great game with a below-average game." Brown, playing the final month of the 2004 season with a painful stress fracture, finished second on the team with 13.3 points per game and 4.5 assists per game. He ranked third in the Big Ten in assist/turnover margin and led the Illini with 51 steals while ranking fourth on the team in rebounding at 3.7 boards per game. The 6-foot Brown, nicknamed the "One-Man Fastbreak," spent much of the summer recovering from the stress frac- ture and hopes to enter the season in good health. "I don't think people appreciate how much pain he played through last year," Weber said. "The last 10 games of last season when he bought in, started work- ing on his game a little more and figured out what things in his game he needed to start working on, his numbers were pretty incredible. That was a key to our success. "One thing we are missing from last year is Jerrance Howard and his leadership. To fans, Dee and Deron are leaders, but internally, they need to lose themselves to the team and lead." Head enters his senior campaign after averaging 1 1.0 points and 2.6 assists per game. He combines with Williams, Brown and sophomore Rich McBride to give the Fighting Illini an outstanding three-point shooting attack. One of the most athletic guards in the nation, Head gives Weber great flexibili- ty on the perimeter with his defensive ability. R "The first three weeks of practice last i year he was better than Dee and Deron before stepping back a bit," Weber said. "But he made big strides as the season went along and there is no reason he can't be mentioned in the same breath as the other two. He needs to play at a high level the entire season. I don't think he realizes how good he is." 52 linois Basketball Centennial Season 2004-05 OUTLOOK McBride showed his ability to impact games by coming off the bench to knock down six three-pointers and score 22 points in a tough win over Memphis at the Assembly Hall in December. McBride worked hard in the off-season to improve his ball-handling skills and adds great depth to a strong position for the Illini. "Rich's best attribute is shooting, but now he has to add some element to advance his game," Weber said. "He really worked on handling the ball more and he has a good feel lor the game. His athleticism improved over the summer and he had the biggest improvement on the team in the vertical jump." Freshman Calvin Brock adds another ter- rific athlete to the mix on the perimeter. The 6-4 swing guard Irom Chicago Simeon High School was named the Chicago Player of the Year as a senior. "We'll have to wait and see how much Calvin can contribute this season, but he is very competitive, he doesn't back down, and he has °;ood size and athleti- cism," Weber said. Sophomore Brian Randle is com- ing oft shoulder surgery after the 2004 season and adds great size and athleticism to the perimeter. The 6-7 swing forward earned nine starts as a freshman and shot 57 percent from the field. Randle is a terrific leaper and has shown great potential as a defender. "It was too bad for him that he had to miss the summer with his shoulder, because he had figured out what he needed to work on to raise the level of his game," Weber said. "Being out three or lour months, he was frustrated. He brings athleticism and defense that maybe nobody else on our team can bring to the court. He can rebound, he can run the court, and he just needs to improve on things he could have worked on over the summer like strength and skills." Senior Roger Powell, Jr., was third on the team in scoring last season at 1 1.6 points per game and is looking forward to a big final campaign. A mismatch for most teams, Powell uses his strength and post- up ability against smaller defenders, and his quickness and ability to shoot outside against bigger opponents. Powell ranked second on the team in rebounding last year at 5.0 boards per game and shot 59.5 percent from the field. "I loved the way Roger played against Duke in the NCAA Tournament last sea- son," Weber said. "He took the ball out and hit a couple of jumpers, he took the ball to the basket, he rebounded, he bat- tled good players, which is what he needs to do in all games. He can use his strength and explosiveness on the inside and when he has bigger people guarding him, he can take them outside and use his quickness and athleticism. He's really improved his shooting from last year and has made some strides going into his sen- ior season." Junior James Augustine and seniors Nick Smith and Jack Ingram return as Weber's most-experienced interior players. The 6- 10 Augustine averaged 9.6 points and a team-leading 7.3 rebounds per game last year, and spent much of the summer working on improving low-post moves and his jump shot. Augustine led the Illini by making 63.5 percent of his field goal attempts and totaling 42 blocked shots. "I said last year that our post play and how much they improved would deter- mine how lar we would go," Weber said. "James needs to be a consistent force. I don't think he realizes how good he is. He has to play with the confidence that he's a good player. Nick and Jack both had good stretches of play last season. If we can get to the point where we can get into a rotation with those guys and not lose anything, we can be in pretty good shape. They all give a little different look. Roger has the athleticism, James can run and jump, Nick is big, but he also can Celebrating 100 Years of Fighting Illini Basketball 53 2004-05 OUTLOOK shoot very well, and Jack has a big body and a good feel for the game. They all give you something different and you can keep coming at people. You hope that Warren Carter, Brian Handle and Shaun Pruitt can be added to that list." At 7-2, the tallest player in 100 years of Mini basketball. Smith averaged 6.8 points and 3.2 rebounds last year. An outstanding shooter, Smith gained 20 pounds during the summer and is look- ing forward to an outstanding senior sea- son. "He had some real good games during the season last year," Weber said. "His body is way better than last year. He's been able to keep the weight on while conditioning. There are few players his height who can step out and shoot as wel! as he can." Ingram earned more playing time as the season went along and became an impor- tant front-line player off the bench. The 6-10 senior shot 57 percent from the field and helped give the Mini an experi- enced physical presence off the bench. "Jack had a good finish last year and accepted his role," Weber said. "Once he accepted his role he began having success. He's got a big body, he is intelligent and those are things he needs to bring to our team." Sophomore Warren Carter has shown great promise and had a solid trip to Europe during the Big Ten Conference Tour. An athletic 6-9 forward, Carter is looking to earn more minutes in 2004-05 after aver- aging 1.2 points per game as a fresh- man. "Warren needs to continue working on his strength as he learns what it takes to play at this level," Weber said. "He's just now starting to fig- ure out how he can use his athleti- cism and his skills to help us. The trip to Europe helped and the coaches said he was one of the top players on that team. So, I hope that experience will carry over to our season. Freshman Shaun Pruitt was considered the best high school big man in the state of Illinois as a senior and enters his first season expecting to add depth to an expe- rienced front line. "He's got a good body and has a knack of knowing how to score," Weber said. "Strength and conditioning are what will determine how quickly he will come along and contribute." Illinois again played one of the nation's toughest schedules last season and has several traditional powers on the 2004-05 slate as well. The Mini take on Gonzaga, Wake Forest, Arkansas, Georgetown, Oregon and Missouri, as well as Valparaiso and Cincinnati in the Las Vegas Holiday Classic during the non- conference portion of the schedule before moving into the always-tough Big Ten. "We will play a variety of styles from all over the country," Weber said. "We have someone from each of the power confer- ences on our schedule. We're playing in several different venues, which should hopefully prepare us for postseason play. We'll be tested early. We get a Top 5 team in the first two weeks of the season, but it's certainly not the end of our season. The kids need to realize it is a marathon and we need to make strides to be there at the end of the year." The Fighting Mini and their fans have turned the Assembly Hall into maybe the toughest road arena in the nation. Illinois has posted a 63-3 home record over the past five seasons, the best home court record in the nation over that period. "The Assembly Hall is very intimidating for opponents," Weber said. "If you look at the record over the last five years, yes, Illinois has had good players, hopefully good coaches, but at the same time, other places have had that as well. But, the combination with very fanatic fans, great students right on the court, the openness of the arena, has made it a very rough place for opponents ro visit. 54 inois Basketball Centennial Season 2004-05 ROSTER NUMERICAL No. Name Pos.

Weber led his squad to Illinois' first outright Big Ten title in 52 years with a 26-7 overall record, 13-3 in the Big Ten. The Fighting Illini advanced to the Sweet Sixteen for the third time in the last four seasons. The 26 victories tied for third most in school history. Illinois won its last 10 games of the regu- lar season, including six road games, to clinch the Illini's third Big Ten title in four seasons. A dramatic overtime victory at Purdue clinched a share of the title in one of the most exciting games in Illini histo- rv. Luther Head made the winning basket after rebounding a blocked shot with just seconds remaining. Illinois swept past Murray State and Cincinnati in the first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament before dropping a tough 72-62 decision to Duke in the Sweet Sixteen. The victory over fourth-seed Cincinnati was Illinois' first-ever win over a higher-seeded team in the tournament. Sophomore Deron Williams earned first-team All-Big Ten honors after leading the Illini in scoring at 14.0 points per game, and leading the Big Ten with 6.2 assists per game. Running mate Dee Brown was named sec- ond-team All-Big Ten after averaging 13.3 points. Junior Roger Powell and sophomore James Augustine both earned All-Big Ten honorable mention honors. A key point in the early season came on Dec. 13 when the Illini posted a 74-64 win over Memphis. Illinois had lost badly to Providence in New York, and Williams suffered a broken jaw in the next game against Marvland-Eastern Shore. The Illini pulled togethet in the win over Memphis, held on to defeat llth-ranked Missouri in St. Louis and downed Illinois-Chicago at the United Center before Williams returned in heroic fashion during an overtime win over Illinois State on Jan. 3. An early home loss to Purdue and losses on the road to Northwestern and Wisconsin pushed Illini backs to the wall for any hopes of a Big Ten title. A victory over Michigan following the loss to the Badgers ignited a 12- game winning streak until the championship game of the Big Ten Tournament. Four of the final five games of the regular sea- son were road games at Penn State, Iowa, Purdue and Ohio State. Orange became the fashion during the unlikely streak, as the six- game Big Ten road game winning streak was Illinois' longest since 1956. Ilinois entered the NCAA Tournament as a No. 5 seed and promptly ran over Murray State by a score of 72-53, set- ting up a second-round game against Cincinnati. In perhaps the most dominating Illini performance of the season, Illinois posted a 92-68 vic- tor)' over the Bearcats. The Illini shot 64 percent from the field, includ- ing 58 percent (11-19) from three-point range in winning. Williams led all scorers with 31 points. Deron Williams was named the 2004 Most Valuable Player. Jerrance Howard was named the Kenny Battle Most Inspirational Player. Dee Brown won the Matto Award. Luther Head was named Most Improved Player. Roger Powell won the Lou Henson Courage Award. Nick Smith was the team's top tree throw shooter and James Augustine won the Illini Rebounders Award. Howard was the only senior on the squad and ended his career with three Big Ten Championships and one Big Ten Tournament Championship on his resume.

Bruce Weber was nervous when he walked into the Assembly Hall for his first game as Illinois coach. "You're kind of getting a little antsy because you don't know what's going to happen, you're a little bit short-handed and crazy things happen," Weber said, referring to his depleted team. But the I2th-ranked Illini had little trouble beating Western Illinois 94-66 despite having only nine players available. Luther Head, Aaron Spears and Rich McBride spent the game on the bench, serving suspen- sions for violating team rules. Dee Brown scored 23 points to lead five Illini play- ers in double figures as they built a 37-9 lead in the first 14 minutes and were never threatened. Western (0-3) put together a 12-2 run in the closing minutes of the first halt, but that was the most pressure it could put on the Illini all night. But the Illini started the second half with a 16-6 run to push a 49-28 halftime lead to 65-34. They were able to keep the spread at about 30 points throughout the second hall. Roger Powell added 14 points, Nick Smith 13 and James Augustine 12 for the Illini, who hit 52 percent of their shots and were 7-for-22 from behind the 3-point line. Deron Williams added 1 1 points, nine rebounds and eight assists, nearly a triple-double.

Illinois hadn't played tor 10 days, but if there was any rust, it didn't show. The Illini dominated the early going, outtunning and outhustling Missouri. Despite a size advantage for the Tigers, Illinois worked the ball inside tor layups, hooks and short jumpers and built a 40-19 lead with 4:20 to go in the first half. Missouri committed 11 of its 18 turnovers in the opening half. But Missouri chipped away, eventually tying the game at 67-67 on Bryant's 3-pointer. After Augustine's basket, Missouri's Arthut Johnson had a chance to tie the game again, but missed a shorr jumper wirh 23 seconds left. After Brown made two free throws with 19.7 seconds left, Missouri's Jimmy McKinnev hit a 3-pointer with 0.4 seconds left. After a timeout, the Illini iced the game by simply inhounding the ball.

Illinois (19-5, 10-3) held the BigTen's top scoring team 14 points below its season average in its seventh straight win. Luthet Head had 16 points and 10 rebounds lor Illinois, while Deron Williams added 13 points, including thtee 3-pointers in the second half that all came before the shot clock expired. Roger Powell had 12 and the Illini shot 58 percent, including 47 percent on 3-pointets. Brown, who was 7-of-14 from the field, was dan- gerous outside and inside, and his 3-poinrer with 1 2:4^ left in the second hall put Illinois in control with a 53-3 1 / lead. Unable to crack the relenrless Illinois defense, the Hawkeyes never cur the lead below double figures the rest ol the way. Illinois, which came into the game with the Big Ten's third-best scoting defense, shut down Iowa's outside shooters and slowed its ttansition game - essentially challenging the Hawkeyes' smaller front- court to score inside. The victory kept Illinois in second place in the Big Ten, one-half game behind Michigan State. Brown had 1 1 points in the first halt as Illinois shot 53 percent in taking a 39-28 lead.

What a difference a month makes. Illinois was hung with a 20-point loss at Wisconsin on Jan. 24 that dropped the Illini to 3-3 in the Big Ten before. They haven't lost since, winning eight in .1 row and finishing February with a perfect 7-0 record after beating Northwestern 66-56 to avenge one of those earlier losses. Dee Brown scored 20 points and the frontcourt duo of Nick Smith and Roger Powell combined for 27 points as the Illini (20-5, 1 1-3) broke open a close game in the second half. Smith and Powell scored all the points in a decisive 12-6 run that put the Illini up 55-44 with 8:52 to go.

Nick Smith hit two key 3-pointets in overtime and Luther Head converted an offensive rebound as he was tailing to the floor with nine-tenths of a second left to give No. 18 Illinois its ninth straight win, 81-79 over Purdue. The big shots bv Smith and Head clinched a share of the Big Ten Championship for Illinois (21-5, 12-3). The Illini are one half-game in front ot Michigan State (12-4) and one game in front of Wisconsin (11-4) in the conference standings. A win Sunday at Ohio State would give Illinois its first outright confernce title since 1952. Purdue's Kenneth Lowe tied the game at 79 with a 3-pointer with 22 seconds left, btit Roger Powell beat everyone down the floor and had an open look at a layup. His shot was off the mark, and Head followed it with an acrobatic one of his own to cap a thrilling game. Smith scored eight of his 12 points in overtime. The 7-foot-2 junior started the overtime with a 3- pointet for a 72-69 lead. He added anothet that bounced oft the front of the rim and rolled in for a 77-73 lead with 2:01 to play. David Teague answeted with a 3-pointer tot Putdue, and Lowe hit his 3-pointer 90 seconds later That set up Head's heroics, and the Illinois players mobbed the court and celebtated with thousands of their fans who made the trip. Head had 19 poinrs for the Illini, while Deron Williams had 16 points and 10 assists. Dee Brown added 15 points and seven rebounds. Lowe scoted 23 points and Teague added 17 for Purdue, which shot 55 percent from the field, but came up one play short.

The payoff came in the final regular-season game at Ohio State. Deron Williams' free throw with 16.5 seconds left ptovided the final margin in No. 18 Illinois' 64-63 win over Ohio State, securing the Illini's first outfight Big Ten title in 52 years. The Illini (22-5, 13-3) dominated most of the game, leading by as many as 16 points in the fitst halt and 17 in the second, before a furious Ohio State comeback in the final nine minutes. Williams hit a free throw to give the Illini a 64-60 lead. Ohio State countered on a 3-pointer by Tony Stockman with 6.2 seconds remaining. After a timeout, the Illini inbounded to Williams, an 86 petcent free-throw shooter, who was fouled with 5.2 seconds left. Williams missed the first of a one-and-one situa- tion, however, and Ohio State's Terence Dials rebounded. Brandon Fuss-Cheatham brought the ball the length of the floor as time slipped away. He tried to slide past Illinois center James Augtistine, but ran into his fight side, the ball squirt- ing loose as the final buzzer sounded. The Illini have won at least a share of a Big Ten title in thtee of the last four seasons and four of the last seven.

A team, led bv its playing captain Rov Riley, beat Champaign High School Jan. 6, two weeks before Hana was able to teplace Riley with a 'pro- fessional" coach. Elwood Brown became Illinois' first basketball coach Jan. 20, 1906, and ptoceeded to turn in a commendable coaching job, especially since the squad lost two of its mainstays during the season. "The results of the season were on the whole satisfactory. In the future, there will not be such a lack of material as hampered the coach (Brown) this season," wtote the 1 907 Ulio. 1 90S-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 71 Champaign High School (at Urbana) . .4 (W) J 20 27 Indiana (at Urbana) 24 (W) J 27 25 Purdue (at Urbana) 19 (W) F2 19 at Minnesota 32 (L) F 5 23 Wheaton 21 (W) F8 15 at Evanston Y.M.C.A 51 (L) F9 14 at Chicago 49 (L) F10 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) F24 24 Chicago 21 1\V) F 28 25 Minnesota 27 (L) M 3 32 Wisconsin 35 (U Big Ten: 4th place Head Coach F.L. Pinckney (1 year, 1-10, .090) Pinckney took ovet the coaching reins for a year in 1 907. There was promise for a good season after the solid start the program had made in 1 906, More than 100 men ttied out for the team. Pinckney found at least three freshman he thought would help the team and placed them 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 ever. The decision to make the freshmen ineligible gave Pinckney the same problem Brown faced the year before - turning out a winning team with limited talent. 1906-07 (M0, 0-8) Coach: F.L.

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

Craig Ruby (14 years, 148-95, .609) J. Craig Ruby was known as one of the great basketball tacticians of his time. He and legendary Kansas coach Phog Allen actively cam- paigned together for higher baskets to offset the advan- tage o^ tall centers. Ruby alone advocated the elimi- nation of the dribble to do away with stalling, and wanted the hoop enlarged to 20 inches in diameter rather than the srandard 18. Ruby's second season at Illinois produced a tie for the Big Ten Championship in 1924, but it was not until 1935 that he could lead his team to tie for top conference honors again. 1922-23 (9-6, 7-5) Coach: J.

Ptior to joining the Illini, he had been head coach at Champaign High School where he posted an astound- ing 254-46 record, includ- ing winning the state title in 1946. Once at Illinois he won three Big Ten titles in his first five seasons ('49, '51 and '52). It was also Combes who led the Fighting Illini to three third-place finishes in the NCAA Tournament in the four-year period from 1949-52. The squad won 79 of the 100 games during those four years. Illinois' 1952 Final Four appearance was the first officially recognized Final Four and the only Final Four appearance Illinois made until 1989. Until Lou Henson broke the record in 1990, Combes' 316 wins were the most wins ever by an Illinois head basketball coach. 1947-48 (15-5,7-5) Coach: Harry Combes Captain: Jack Burmaster Lineup: Eddleman, Burmaster, Erickson, Osterkorn, Marks, Green, Thurlby D 5 67 Coe College 27 (W) D 8 40 Notre Dame 38 (W) D 13 70 Pitrsburgh 33 (W) D20 70 at Pennsylvania 44 (W) D 22 "1 Washington State 35 (W) D23 59 Washington State 12 (W) 7 Harvard 41 (W) 7 at Wisconsin 52 (L) arthwesrern 47 (W) Ohio State 58 (W) at Minnesota 59 (L) | 19 46 Indiana 45 (Wl 118 J 24 I 28 F7 F9 I I i I 21 F28 M 1 Big! 57 Wisconsin 36 (W) 88 at Marquerre 66 (W) 57 Michigan 66 (L) 61 it Iowa 70 (L) 50 at Ohio State 57 (L) 98 Purdue 54 (W) 60 at Northwestern 43 (W) 52 at Indiana 51 (Wl en: 3rd place (r) 1948-49 (21-4, 10-2) Final AP Ranking: 4 Coach: Harry Combes Captain: Dwight Eddleman Lineup: Eddleman, Erickson, Osterkorn, Green, Sunderalge, Marks D 3 67 Butler 62 (W) D 8 59 at Notre Dame (OT) 58 (W) D 1 1 50 at DePaul 60 (L) D 13 73 Oklahoma 68 (W) D 18 80 Pennsylvania 61 (Wl D20 89 DePaul 51 (W) D21 71 Cornell 47 (W) D 29 77 Colgate 54 (W) D 30 85 Colgate 55 (W) J 3 62 Wisconsin 50 (W) J 8 44 at Indiana 42 fW) J 1 64 at Ohio State 63 (W) J 15 96 Creighton 30 (W) ] 29 45 (7) Minnesota (4) 44 (W) J 31 53 (6) at Purdue 55 (LI F5 61 (4) at Wisconsin 54 (W) F7 85 (4) Northwestern 66 (W) F12 64 (4) Ohio State (18) 49 (W) F21 80 (4) Iowa 49 (W) F 26 81 (4) at Northwestern 64 fW) F28 91 (4) Indiana 68 (W) M 7 53 (4) at Michigan 70 (L) Eastern NCAA Playoffs, at New York City M21 71 (4)Yale(ll) 67 (W) M 22 47 (4) Kentucky (1 ) 76 (L) Final NCAA Playoffs, at Seattle M 26 57 (4) Oregon State 53 (W) Big Ten: 1 si place 1949-50 (14-8,7-5) Coach: Harry Combes Captain: William Erickson Lineup: Osterkorn, Erickson, Thurlby, Sunderlage, Gatewood, Follmer, Fletcher D 3 60 ai Butlet 56 (W) D8 67 Toledo 51 (W) D 10 47 at Oklahoma 55 (L) D 14 65 Arkansas 53 (W) D 17 5 7 Oklahoma 47 (W) Illinois Basketball Centennial Season D22 D23 D27 D30 12 J7 J9 J 16 J 21 I 1 F4 F 11 F 13 F 18 F25 F27 M4 BieTe The 1948-49 Big Ten Championship was the first of three during Harry Combes' initial five seasons as head coach of the Fighting Illini. 59 St. Louis 47 (W) 63 UCLA 65 (L) 58 Columbia 46 (W) 68 Princeton 61 (W) 50 at Wisconsin 59 (L) 62 (16) at Ohio State 83 (L) 59 Purdue 54 (W) 76 Northwestern 50 (W) 66 Ohio State (11) 50 (W) 42 (20) at St. Louis 62 (L) 67 at Minnesota 57 (W) 65 at Iowa 70 (L) "2 Indiana (16) 83 (L) 70 Michigan 60 (W) 76 Wisconsin 58 (W) 66 at Indiana (17) 80 (L) 69 at Northwestern 52 (W) n: 3rd place (t) 1950-51 (22-5, 13-1) Final AP Ranking: 5 Coach: Harry Combes Captain: Donald Sunderlage Lineup: Sunderlage, Beach, Fletcher, Follmer, Peterson, Bemoras D 4 66 Marquette 47 (Wl D 8 74 Oregon State 51 (W) D9 54 at Toledo 68 (L) D16 69 at DePaul 68 (W) D 20 71 Washington State 48 (W) D 22 75 Pennsylvania 65 (W) D 28 65 (20) DePaul 68 (L) D 29 88 (20) Buder 52 (W) J 1 71 (20) at Wisconsin (OT) 69 (W) ] 6 70 Minnesota 62 (W) J 8 72 at Iowa 69 (W) J 13 68 (14) Michigan 47 (W) J 15 53 (14) at Indiana (6) 64 (L) J 20 69 (14) Iowa 53 (W) F 5 85 ( 14) at Purdue 76 (W) F 10 63 (16) Wisconsin 52 (W) F 12 79 (16) Ohio State 59 (W) F 17 70 (11) Purdue -...65 (W) F 19 71 (11) Indiana (6) 65 (W) F 24 89 (10) at Ohio State 69 (W) M 3 80 (6) at Northwestern 76 (W) M 5 49 (5) at Michigan State 43 (W) NCAA Warmup M 14 72 (5) at Kansas State (4) 91 (L) NCAA Eastern Playoffs, at New York City M20 79 (5) Columbia (3) 71 (W) M 22 84 (5) N.C.

He finished his Illinois career No. 12 on the NCAA all-time victory list with 663 wins. Illinois became a national power under Henson, being selected to the NCAA tour- nament 1 1 times. The high- light of the postseason com- petition came in 1989 when the spectacular Flying Illini team won a school-record 31 contests and advanced to the Final Four. Henson's Illini were also seeded among the top four in their regional for six consecutive years { 19S4-S9) for the second-longest such streak (next to North Carolina) ever. Illinois finished in the upper division in the Big Ten nine consecutive seasons (1983-91), and had 11 straight years of producinga plus-. 5()0 BigTen record from 1981 to 1991, the fifth-longest streak of that kind in BigTen histo- ry. Henson led the Illini to a 1984 Big Ten co-champi- onship and No. 1 national ranking in 1989. He coached Illinois to nine straight 20-win seasons from 1983 to 1991and finished his UI career as the third-winningest coach in BigTen history with 214 victories. 1975-76 (14-13,7-11) Coach: Lou Henson Captain: Appointed each game Lineup: r Adams, f Matthews, c Washington, g Williams, g Tucker, g Leighry N 28 60 ar Nebraska 58 (W) Dl 73 Kent State 54 (W) D4 67 Missouri-Rolla 65 (W) D 6 67 New Mexico 66 (W) D S 90 Norrh Dakota Srare 73 (W) D 11 7 3 at Furman 75 (L) D 13 58 ,ii Southern Cal 62 (L) 1)211 66 Arizona 60 (W) D22 106 Rice 64 (W) J 3 60 ar Iowa 84 (L) J 8 68 at Minnesota (17) 77 (L) 1 74 Northwestern 69 ( W) 12 71 Wisconsin 61 (W) 17 55 Indiana (1) 83 (L) 19 63 at Ohio State 64 (L) 24 63 Michigan State 74 (L) 26 76 Michigan (17) 75 (W) 31 71 Purdue 63 ( \V) F 2 62 Minnesota 72 (L) F ~ 61 at Northwestern 55 (W) F 9 70 at Wisconsin 59 (W) F 14 48 at Indiana (1) 58 (L) F 16 91 Ohio State 73 (W) F 2 1 59 at Michigan State 69 (L) F 23 75 at Michigan (15) 90 (L) F 28 62 at Purdue 81 (L) M6 70 Iowa 82 (1.)

Celebrating 100 Years of Fighting lllini Basketball 167 2004 BIG TEN CHAMPIONS BASKETBALL TRADITION ' ,„~ ILLINOIS TIMELINE 1906 Illinois basketball Champaign High tradition begins with a 71-4 win over School on January 12th 1918 Big Ten Champions. T 192S Dec. 12. 1925 Illinois opens the season against Butler at the new gymnasium, which would later be renamed George Huff Gymnasium before the 1937 season. 1915 Big Ten Champions. Illinois posts a perfect 16-0 record and is named national champion by the Helms Foundation 1924 Big Ten Champions Over the course of 100 years, the University of Illinois has enjoyed the creation of a stellar basket- ball tradition that includes Final Four appearances, Ail-Americans, Academic Ail-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 tradition 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 University 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. 12,1 906. The first four years of Illinois hoops saw four different coaches who combined for a 34- 30 record. In the first season of Illinois basketball the lllini 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 FT. Pickney. A new coach, Fletchet Lane, and a new season arrived in 1907-08 and the lllini posted a 20-8 record and went 6-5 in the conference. Despite a successful season, the lllini underwent its fourth coaching change in as many years and new mentor Herb V. Juul stayed two seasons (1909 and 1910) and was 7-6 his inaugural year and 5-4 the next season. • Big Ten grows to eight teams with the addition of Iowa in the 1907 season. 1910-1919 (95-48) decade brought the program an extended ess. In the 1910s Illinois won two Bit; Ten titles, 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 lllini history and the first Big Ten title for the Illinois basketball pro- gram. Following the pertect 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 confer- ence 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 Rait, 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 Rail "Woods Award, which is still given annually to the Fighting lllini player with the best free-throw percentage. Illinois followed up its conference championship season with a second-place finish after posting a 13-3 record. The lllini dropped two games to Northwestern and one to eventual champion Wisconsin, but the first loss to the Wildcats was the Illini's first-ever overtime game as Northwestern scored two points in the overtime period to beat Illinois, 23-21. Feb. 12. 1916, at what is now the Kenney Gym Annex. In I'M 8. Jones and the lllini picked up their sec- ond 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 was 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 lllini into the decade of the 1920s and started off this period with a 9-4 record and a third-place finish in the Big Ten in 1920. The fol- lowing season a new mentor, Frank Winters, was in Champaign-Urbana and his two-year stay pro- duced 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 program history. In his first three seasons. Ruby led the lllini to a 31-18 record and a share of the conference title with Wisconsin in 1924. In 1924, Illinois was 1 1- 6 overall and 8-4 in the Big Ten. After winning Illinois' third conference title in 1924, Ruby's lllini matched the win mark the fol- lowing year (1 1-6, 8-4) but dropped to third place in the standings. The lllini opened the 1926 season on Dec. 12, 1925, against Butler in the newly built Men's Gymnasium, which would later be renamed George Huff Gymnasium after Illinois Athletic Director George Huff. 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 losing seasons in the University's 1 00-year history. 170 inois Basketball Centennial Season ILLINOIS TIMELINE 1935 Big Ten Champions 1940s Illinois ranks 13th nationally in win percentage (728). I 1937 Big Ten Champions 1942 Big Ten Champions 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 rallied in the closing stretch of the season and won its last four contests to grab a share or the conference title. A new star on the playing floor emerged in the 1935 season with the addition of Harry Combes to the roster. Combes, a three-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 Big Ten 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-vear tenure as head coach, Mills established himself as the first coach in Illinois his- tory to win or share three Big Ten championships. In his first season, 1936-37, Mills' Illini squad cap- tured 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 gymnasium 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, futute major league baseball Hall of Famer Lou Boudreau led the team in scoring with 8.7 points per game. 1940-49 (150-56) The decade of the 1940s brought much success to Illinois basketball. Head Coach Doug Mills led the Illini in consecutive Big Ten titles in 1942 and 1943. The Illini would add another league champi- onship 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 arrived in Champaign in what would soon become the cre- ation of the famed "Whiz Kids." In 1942, joining Mathisen were lack Smiley Andv Phillip, Gene Vance and Ken Menke, who captured the attention of the entire nation while winning back-to-back conference titles and combining for a 35-6 record, 25-2 in the Big Ten over those rwo seasons. To this day the "Whiz Kids" remain one of the most sto- ried 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 profes- sionally, 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 .it Illinois in the 1947 season. That mark coincided with the teturn of the "Whiz Kids' from military service.

The season was highlighted by a 98-97 victory over No. 3 Kentucky in Lexington on Dec. 8. Another former lllini, Harv Schmidt, replaced Combes and led the team into the 1970s.

Although the lllini recorded a losing mark in 1971 (1 1-12), that season welcomed Nick Weatherspoon from Canton, Ohio. "Spoon" stepped right into the starring lineup and led the team in rebounds. The next two years he led the team in scoring and rebounding before becoming a first-round draft selection and spending eight seasons in the NBA. Harv Schmidt concluded his Illinois coaching career in 1974 as the Illini's record dropped to 5-18 and last place in the Big Ten standings. The follow- ing season. Gene Bartow served as head coach, but left to take the head coaching job in replacing the legendary John Wooden at UCLA after only one season. After Bartow's departure following the 1975 campaign, the University picked New Mexico State Head Coach Lou Henson to bring success back to the Illinois program. He did just that, taking a team that won 14 games in his inaugural season to a 19-11 record within just four years. The last years of the 1970s 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 ro national prominence. In 1979, Illinois finished seventh in the Big Ten, but went 19-1 1 overall, including ascension to No. 2 in the national polls after starting the year 15-0.

The 1982 season brought Illinois another post-sea- son appearance, in the NIT, and an 18-11 record. Harper led the Big Ten in assists and steals.

Guards Bruce Douglas and Doug Altenberger, and forward Scott Meents and Efrem Winters joined sophomores George Montgomery and Anthony Welch to form the nucleus lot a team that would win 95 games during the next lour sea- sons. In 1983, the Fighting 1 became the nation's 25th team to cap the 1,000-win mark with a 72-70 victory over Texas A&M in the Great Alaska Shootout. Latet that year. Harper was selected First-Team All-Big Ten, falling one vote shy of being a unanimous pick, before leaving school early for the NBA draft.

The 1984 season also marked Illinois' first back-to-back 20 win seasons since 1951-52. The Illini would go on to tecord a total of nine consecutive 20-win seasons from 1983-91. Illinois advance to the NCAA Regional Finals belore dropping a heart-breaking 54-51 loss to Kentucky on its home court causing the NCAA to put a rule in place not allowing a school to play in a tournament game on its home court. The Illini started out the 1985 season ranked No. 1 nationally by Basketball Times in its preseason poll.

During that same 1984-87 period, Illinois also ranked first in field goal defense, and the Illini wete first in three-point defense in 1987. luinor college transfer Ken Norman highlighted the I 986 season as he set the school record tor single- season field-goal percentage (.641). The next season saw the addition of an outstanding group of young players to the roster. Guards Steve Bardo, Kendall Gill and Larry Smith joined forward Nick Anderson in a highly touted recruiting class. This group produced another 20-win season (23-8) and a trip to the NCAA Tournament, where Illinois was beaten 68-67 by Austin Peay in arguably the school's most shocking upset. The 1988 season brought Henson his 500th career victory and laid the foundation for what would be an inctedible history making season in 1989. The 1989 team may very well have been the most tal- ented team ever assembled at Illinois. The players known as the "Flying Illini," included all the important pieces of 1988 (Kenny Battle, Gill, Bardo, Lowell Hamilton, Anderson and Smith) as well as junior college All-American P.J. Bowman and former high school All-American Marcus Liberty. The team shattered most of its all-time records including points in a season (3,1 10), most steals in a season (341), and most wins in a season (31). 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 Classic in December. The Yellow Jackets led, 47-31. but Illinois managed to sutge hack to force overtime, eventual!)' needing two extra peri- ods to win the game. Along with the No. 1 tanking the next day came some bad news. Illinois' catalyst, Gill, had broken a bone in his loot and would miss the next 1 2 games. Hurt by the loss of Gill. Illinois lost three of the next four games and its No. 1 ranking. The Illini tallied to finish second in the Big Ten with a 14-4 record and with Gill back in the lineup, the Illini were awarded a No. 1 seed in i he Midwest Region of the NCAA Tournament.

Louisville fell victim to Illinois, losing 83-69, which set up a regional final matchup with Syracuse. The Fighting lllini held off Syracuse to advance to the Final Four in Seattle where Illinois laced Michigan, a team it had beat twice already in 1989, in the national semifinals. Despite Battle's 29-point, 1 1 -rebound effort, Illinois fell to eventual national-champion Michigan, 83-81. 1990-99 (187-120) Coming off the Final Four season, Illinois went 21- 8 overall, 1 1-7 in the Big Ten in 1990.

Gill led the Big Ten in scor- ing and was a finalist for the John Wooden Player of the Year Award. He was the fifth ovetall pick in the NBA draft that summer, going to the Charlotte Hornets. Entering the 1991 season, Illinois, faced with the loss of Gill, Bardo and Liberty, who declared him- sell eligible tor the NBA draft after his junior sea- son, was picked to finish as low as ninth in the Big Ten by some publications. But, junior forward Andv Kaufmann burst onto the scene scoring 660 points, the second largest single-season total in Illinois history. He and the lllini proved the presea- son expectations wrong by going 21-10 and finish- ing third in the Big Ten. Illinois consecutive 20-win season streak was snapped in 1 12 when the lllini posted its first los- ing record in . going 13-15.

In 1994 a young upstart freshman, Kiwane Garris, would begin his assault on the all-time scoring list. He notched 446 points as a freshman and would be the catalyst on the lllini team over the next few After advancing to the NCAA Tournament in 1995, Illinois extended its run on postseason play with a berth in the 1996 NIT. In 1996, the lllini started the season 11-1 before losing Garris to injury. Without its leader, the lllini dropped its first five Big Ten games. Garris returned, but was never 1 00 percent and junior forward Jerry Hester missed games with a severely sprained ankle. The lllini fin- ished the 1996 season 18-13 overall, 7-1 1 in the Big Ten. But more importantly the 1996 season marked the end of the most successful era in Illinois basketball when Lou Henson announced his retirement before the end o! the season. In bis 2 1 yeats at Illinois Henson notched 423 victories and guided the lllini to 1 1 NCAA Tournament appeatances. The Okay, Okla. native coached Illinois to 11, 20-win seasons and finished his career as the thitd-winningest coach in Big Ten his- tory with 214 league victories. On March 21, 1996, a new era in Illinois basket- ball began when Directot of Athletics Ron Guenther introduced Lon Kruger as the University's 14th men's basketball coach. Kruger came to Illinois from the University of Florida and carried a list of impressive credentials, including guiding Florida to the Final Fout in 1994. In his first year at Illinois, Kruger guided Illinois to a 22-10 tecord and the second round of the NCAA Tournament. His 22 wins in 1997 are the most by a coach in his first season at Illinois. Over the course of the season, Illinois defeated five ranked opponents, including No. 7 Minnesota, 96-90, at tbe Assembly Hall. Illinois also traveled to Bloomington and handed Indiana a 78-74 loss, the first win for Illinois at Assembly Hall in Bloomington since 1990. Duting the course of the year, Garris etched his name in the Illinois record book with one of the best season perfotmances by any lllini player in his- tory. He finished his career second on the all-time scoring list with 1,948 points and set the single-sea- son tecord for free throws made and attempted. Garris averaged 19.4 points and missed being the Big Ten's leading scoter by three one-hundredths of a point. In 1998, Kruger did the unthinkable as he took a team picked to finish seventh in the Big Ten and guided the lllini to a share of its first Big Ten tide since 1984. On the way to the league crown, Illinois went 5-0 against Indiana, Iowa, and Michigan for the fitst time in school history the lllini had gone undefeated against those teams dur- ing the course of a season. Illinois advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament after earning a No. 5 seed in the West Regional. The lllini defense was the Big Ten's best as Illinois finished the year first in scor- ing defense, field-goal defense and three-point defense in league games.

After defeating Penn in the opening round, the Illini season ended with a defeat to evental national runner-up Florida. The Fighting Illini spent much of the season ranked in the Top 25, climbing as high as No. 15 in late December. An early three-game losing streak in Big Ten play put the Illini in a hole to start league play at 1-3. But, Illinois went on to win 10 of the last 12 league games before finishing second in the Big Ten Tournament. Cory Bradford earned second-team All-Big Ten honors after leading Illinois in scoring and the Big Ten in three-point field goals. He broke his own three-point field goal record by making 96 on the season. Forward Brian Cook was named Co-Freshman of the Yeat in the league and earned All-Tournament honors with strong play in the Big Ten Tournament. In May 2000. Kruger left Illinois to become head coach of the NBA's Atlanta Hawks. Another era of Illinois basketball was begun when the University named Bill Self its 15th head men's basketball coach on June 9, 2000. Self came to Illinois from Tulsa where he had led the Golden Hurricane to consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances. including an impressive 32-5 record and tourna- ment run to the regional finals in 2000. Self's first season at Illinois was certainly memo- rable. The Illini were ranked in the Top 10 the entire season and tied for the Big Ten Championship with Michigan State before earning a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. The Illini run was ended in the regional final to eventual national runner-up Arizona, the third meeting between the two schools on the season. Sophomore Frank Williams became the first Illini player to earn Big Ten Player of the Year honors since 1967 and was named to several postseason All-America squads. Junior Cory Bradford set an NCAA record by making a three-point field goal in 88 consecutive games. In 2002, Self became just the second coach, and first since 1913, to win BigTen titles in each of his first two seasons. Frank Williams again earned first- team All-Big Ten honors as the Illini earned a tour- way share of the Big Ten title before advancing to the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA Tournament. The five seniors who finished their careers took the Illini from an 1 1 th-place finish in the league in 1999 to consecutive BigTen titles in 2001 and 2002. I he 2003 squad started three Ireshmen, a sopho- more and one senior, and still finished with a 25-7 record and second-place finish in the BigTen. Brian Cook earned Big Ten Player of the Year hon- ors and the Illini won the BigTen Tournament championship lor the first time. Bill Sell left in March to take over as coach .it Kansas, paving the way tor Bruce Weber to be named the 1 6th Illinois head coach on April 30, 2003. Weber armed in Champaign after directing the Southern Illinois Salukis for five seasons. Weber's inagural season directing the Orange and Blue was magical, as he became just the third coach in 109 years of BigTen basketball to win an out- right conference championship in his first season. The llhni had to win its final 10 games of the regu- lar season to clinch sole possession of the title, with six of those wins coming away from the Assembly Hall. Weber also guided Illinois to its first NCAA Tournament victor)' over a higher seeded team, when the No. 5 Illini defeated No. 4 Cincinnati in the second round of the tournament.

The second is to upgrade students' educational experience through smaller classes and best use of the educational technology. Third is to cut costs where possible, stress productivity and create a positive, business- like administration that reassures taxpayers, tuition-payers and pri- vate donors that their money is being used efficiently. And fourth is to maintain the highest quality in a niche filled by relatively few U.S. Universities - basic and applied research.

Celebrating 100 Years of Fighting Illini Basketbal 225 DIVISION OF INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS The Division of Intercollegiate Athletics (DIA) was chartered in 1892 as a not-for-profit corporation of the State of Illinois. It was charged with oversee- ing 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 Inter- collegiate Athletics began operations officially July 1, 1989, and now, more than a century after University of Illinois athletics began, the mission is still to ac- hieve excellence both in the classroom and in sport competition. The director of athletics is the divisions chief executive officer, and reports directly to the chancel- lor of the Urbana-Champaign campus. The chancel- loi has final amhontv regarding the athletic program in all areas except for budget and major appoint- ments. Those decisions rest with the University of Illinois Board of Trustees. The Athletic Board serves the DIA in an adviso- ry capacity. It is composed of 18 members, (nine fac- ulty, five alumni, three students and one trustee); and the three non-voting (ex-officio) members from the University administration. The faculty and stu- dent members are nominated by the Urbana- Champaign Senate and selected bv the chancellor. The Division of Intercollegiate Athletics does not receive state tax dollars and over the years has been able to fully fund the NCAA maximum allow- able number of athletic scholarships for student-ath- letes in each of its sports programs, as well as to hire excellent coaches and maintain and upgrade its facili- ties, staying on par with the best major collegiate programs across the nation. This has been accomplished through revenues derived from the following major sources: gate receipts from football and mens basketball; television and radio rights fees for those two sports and corpo- rate sponsorships and donations to the I FUND. The I FUND contributions provide the maximum allowable number of scholarships in the 19 men's and women's sports at an average annual cost of approximately 512,000 for in-state student-athletes and about 518,000 for those from outside Illinois. FACILITIES The Division of Intercollegiate Athletics utilizes and maintains 14 facilities for competition and the administration of 19 sports. The facilities include Memorial Stadium, Assembly Hall, Huff Hall, Illinois Field, the Outdoor Track and Field and Soccer Stadium, the Armorv, Atkins Tennis Center, Kenney Gym, the Universitv of Illinois Orange and Blue Golf Courses, the Bielfeldt Athletic Administration Building, the Ubben Basketball Practice Facility'. Eichelberger Field Softball Complex, the Irwin Indoor Practice Facility and the Irwin Academic Center.

Completed in 2000 was the construction of the SI 2.5 million indoor football practice facility, locat- ed just east of the current football complex and lock- er room. The football practice field opens directly onto the East Outdoor Practice Field. In 1996, more than 100 members of the DIA staff moved into the Bielfeldt Athletic Administration Building, located on the east-west axis between the Atkins Tennis Center and the Assembly Hall. The facility houses DIA coaches, administration and staff including the I FUND, the Varsity "I" Association, accounting and personnel, athletic public relations, marketing and compliance. The Ubben Basketball Practice Facility opened in the fall of 1998 and features practice courts for men's and women's basketball, offices and meeting rooms, training and equipment facilities, strength and conditioning and locker rooms. In 1992, the DIA completed an $18 million renovation project on Memorial Stadium, replacing the main and balcony stands on the east and west sides of the Stadium. It has been a busy two decades for facility con- struction at Illinois as the Atkins Tennis Center opened in 1991, featuring six indoor and eight out- door lighted courts, along with a pro shop and bal- cony viewing areas. The Atkins Tennis Center has hosted the Big Ten Championships, the NCAA Regionals and numerous professional tournaments and is also a resource for the entire Champaign- Urbana tennis community. Illinois Field, the home of the 111 in i baseball squad, and the Outdoor Track Stadium have also seen construction upgrades, adding lights to both facilities and expanding the track stadium to acco- modate Illinois women's soccer matches. The Outdoor Track and Soccer Stadium also includes future plans for seating for 8,000 and a permanent press box. The indoor facility for track and field, the Armon", underwent a Si. 2 million renovation in 2003 to improve the infrastructure of the track and floor. In 1998, the Irwin Academic Center opened on campus, providing UI student-athletes with state-of- the-art computer study areas, conference rooms, career planning and placement and other academic programs all under one roof. The Irwin Center is utilized by over 600 student-athletes on an annual basis. The Illini men's and women's basketball squads compete in the Assemblv Hall, which has undergone more than SI 1 million in facility upgrades in recent years, including new locker rooms, training rooms, meeting and dining areas, storage and other improvements designed to showcase Illinois basket- ball. The newest feature in the Assembly Hall is a $1.7 million video replay board that was installed prior to the 2004-05 season. Huff Hall, the home for Illinois men's basketball and the famed IHSA "March Madness" state basket- ball tournament from 1925-63, has undergone over $1.5 million in construction since 1990 and is the home for Illini volleyball, wrestling and gymnastics. This past summer Huff saw its locker rooms and weight rooms remodeled. This past fall, the DIA broke ground on a state- of-the-art indoor golf practice faility. Future plans also call for a multi-purpose indoor sport building as well as expansion of the Atkins Tennis Center to allow the 2003 national champion men's team to host NCAA Championship events. The Bielfeldt Athletic Administration Building opened in June of 1996. 226 linois Basketball Centennial Season ATHLETIC EVENT FACILITIES Illinois basketball is played at the Assembly Hall.
