Wisch: Illini Coaching Search Has Fans Feeling the ’Paign

But because Thomas went after coaches that he – as well as the vast majority of other ADs in the country – couldn’t get, he ended up badly embarrassing Illinois. Twice.

Wisch: For Illini Hoops, Loyalty Only Goes So Far

Thompson: Butler Advances To The Final Four, Again

It seems VCU has stolen the show in this year’s NCAA Tournament. The Rams improbable, yet dominant run has been unbelievable, but what’s more amazing is Butler’s return to the Final Four.
