Weber: Illini need to be pushed

Bruce Weber again talked about how he's going to remain tough on this team, despite the fact it's late in the season, and usually coaches would take it easier to maintain a positive vibe. But the coach believes this group needs to be pushed.

Weber has gone so far as to text message players before a practice, to implore them to practice hard in that day's practice. He text messaged several players before today's practice.
