Weber says Illini need to get tougher

It's a "no-brainer" that Illinois should be a top 25 team next year, Weber said.

"But some things definitely have to change," he said. "It's going to start with a lot of competition through spring, motivated workouts throughout the summer. In all of that, mental and physical toughness will be emphasized.

"The most important thing is we get in the weight room. We get stronger. The workouts have to be competitive, and we set a great foundation for the fall to make a big jump next season. This next six months are going to be very important."
