AD Mike Thomas gave basketball team a pep talk in the weight room Friday before practice
February 25, 2012 7:48 AM
It's no secret. After losing the last two games by 39 points combined, the priority for the Illini is finding some pride and energy.
Athletic director Mike Thomas, perhaps not coincidentally, found himself in gym clothes working out in the weight room just when the Illini were getting in a pre-practice lift.
"I thought it was a good opportunity to let them know I support them," Thomas said. "I believe in them. The coaches believe in them. The people who work with them every day believe in them. They need to believe in themselves."
