Recruits have been referring to #illini staffer Bob McClain as the OL coach recently. Appears he will get the promotion after one season as an analyst. No official statement from team yet.

Has coached OL at Appalachian State and D-II schools, knows Rod Smith really well. pic.twitter.com/ZCg62vULmh

The #Illini played well defensively and had chances late, but couldn't pull off the road upset against Wisconsin, reports @mrwagner25 → https://t.co/w1eFrTrwQG pic.twitter.com/XVGGitSHyo

Brad Underwood was quick to praise Peoria native Da'Monte Williams for his step-up efforts against the #Badgers, but nevertheless the #Illini saw their four-game winning streak snapped. Beat writer @srrichey empties his notebook from the Kohl Center. https://t.co/oB00xF2zbT

RAPID RECAP: No. 20 Wisconsin 64, #illini 58

The Illini looked tougher, but Kohl Center losing streak continues as stars struggle in win-streak-snapping losshttps://t.co/xnL979dS0f

This one is going to hurt for that #Illini locker room. Another one where quite a bit went right but couldn't get it done.

15 in a row for the Badgers in this series.

But Illini certainly a challenger every night, anywhere at this point in Year 2.
