This is exactly why many of us like Ben Johnson. He is a great coach at the core. Minnesota is just a tough job to win at.
A couple of things:
1) You don't use NIL money to hire assistant coaches. It is paid to the players for the use of their Name Image, and Likeness.
2) All the history people have been arguing about means almost nothing. The question is what can a coach do now with the amount of NIL that Illinois Men's BB has available and the amount of money available for assistants..................under the current transfer rules.
What Groce did doesn't have anything to do with anything.

lol. We are going to play either Sean Millers team or Texas, the team Brad supposedly has expressed interest in. Amazing.
GMAFB. We’re tied for the most wins over the past 5 years with Purdue. If you’re expecting more than that over a 5 year period you’re borderline delusional.
Hi whoever from the NCAA Selection Committee has been reading this thread and wanted to set up some extra spicy drama.

Shoutout Carmel, Indiana …
Why would you think ILL would've been better off with Sampson during that era? He would've violated rules just as he did with Indiana and we would've been starting over at some point. Very good coach but he was a sleaze bag in his younger days two decades ago. I still would've taken the much cleaner Bruce Weber despite the up and down tenure after the 05-06 season.
Everyone in Iowa rejoicing when WVU was left out …

If we play Xavier, I think your head may explode.Everyone in Iowa rejoicing when WVU was left out …
No we aren't. With Purdue's record being better than ours this season they have the best record in the big ten over the last 5 years.
Might be referring to B1G wins.
Thought they put up that we were tied after we beat them in the regular season finale. Maybe they went back an extra year.
I thought I read somewhere before the big tournament this year that is it is 81-wins for both teams over the last 6 years. But over the last 5 years, Purdue has the most wins and Illinois 2nd.
Purdue has the best record in conference over the last 5 years including this season. Add in this season and now they have the best record over the last 6.
We are tied with them for the 5 seasons previous to this one.
Basically it is a brag that the Illini no longer have.
So am I. Purdue has the most conference wins over the last 5 seasons, and over the last 6 seasons. Illini can no longer make that claim.
I just looked at the records. We were tied with them for the previous 5 seasons. Purdue had the better record this season, so for the previous 6 they have the better record. Purdue also has the better record over the last 5.
They lost by 28. But they still made the sweet 16 last year. In fact, since the 2018-1019 season Houston has have made the Sweet 16 every year. In 2021 they made the final 4 before losing to national champion Baylor.
Honestly they were pretty lucky to survive Texas A&M last year. A&M outplayed them just couldn't close.
What am I to do with this information?
I was responding to someone who said they never get blown out
Bruce Weber got us to a national championship game. I'm sorry but all bad feelings aside from his latter portion of his tenure, he should be looked at more positively than negatively for that alone.
This person obviously doesn't read this board.
