Terrific Turnaround

For Bruce Weber, the Fighting Illini Mens' Basketball head coach, the 2008-2009 season has been quite a turnaround from last season. The men of the 2007-2008 team had an almost depressing record....went 5-13 in conference and 16-19 overall. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/conferences/standings?confId=7&year=2008

Their terrific turnaround this season has resulted in a 3-2 record in conference and 15-3 in conference thus far.

We recently had an "exciting loss" against the 5-0 in conference Michigan State. The final scored was 63-57. I'm not exactly sure anyone expected the opposing number 7 ranked team to have such a close win. http://www.bigtennetwork.com/news/article.asp?LIST_ID=2&STORY_ID=3185035

Although we aren't the same 2005 2nd place NCAA Championship team, the University Of Illinois Men's Basketball team has quite an improved team since last season.

    I am, as I type, wearing a U of I T-shirt (notice the capital "T"---A.P. style!). I will wear it each and every time I read your blog. I swear.
