100 Years of Fighting Illini Hoops

125illinimoving.gifThis year celebrates 100 years of Fighting Illini basketball and the University of Illinois' (Champaign-Urbana) current 17-0 men's basketball record ties both the best start to a season and the longest single-season winning streak in school history. The other 17 game winning streak, also at the start of a season, was in 1988-89, my last year at U of I. Only the 25-game winning streak that included parts of three seasons from Feb. 21, 1914, through Feb. 9, 1916, bests the Illini's current string of victories.

126illini.gifThe 1988-89 team, coached by the all class act Lou Henson, stared: Kendall Gill, Steven Bardo, Nick Anderson, Kenny Battle, Lowell Hamilton, and Marcus Liberty. During the regular season Illinois beat Michigan twice but in the semi-finals of the big dance lost to Michigan when Lowell Hamilton failed to box his man out on the final shot of the game and Michigan got an easy put-back to keep the game from going into overtime. Michigan went on to have an easy win despite a close score over Seton Hall for the national championship. But, at least I'm not still bitter.../said with teeth clinched.

Drew is a little uncertain what to think about my new hat but he seems content to wear his Illini cap sent to him by an alumni friend of mine.

    Sorry Don, it wasn't Lowell that messed up, it was Nick Anderson that "forgot" to box out his man.

    Hmmm...I remember it as being Lowell. I could be wrong, but that is how I remember it. I should cut him some slack though as he was playing on an injured ankle.

    Nick Anderson did box out, but the ball went over his head and just out of his reach into the outreached hands of Shaun Higgens a frosh who nailed a fadeaway put back. Anderson turned and jumped, but higgie hit it anyway. A desperation shot that anderson could not have gotten. A terrible break, but had the Illini not played so poorly in the first half or not had Battle and Hamilton on the floor most of the game at the same time, despite both being injured it might never have came down to that last shot. (ps: I have the vidio from my taping that day)
