[QUOTE="Monticello, post: 1779230, member: 225597"] Like this post. I did some more digging just for the sake of digging and came up with this (which may mean something or may not, just found it interesting): Henson's tenure- the Big Ten sent 12 teams to the Final Four and had 5 NCAA champs (in 21 seasons), and the Illini had 13 top 5 finishes and one Big Ten championship. Kruger's tenure- the Big Ten sent 5 teams to the Final Four and had 1 NCAA champ (in 4 seasons), and the Illini had 3 top 5 finishes and one Big Ten championship. Self's tenure- the Big Ten sent 2 teams to the Final Four and had 0 NCAA champions (in 3 seasons), and the Illini finished top 2 all three seasons including 2 Big Ten Champions. Weber's tenure- the Big Ten sent 6 teams to the Final Four and had 0 NCAA champions (in 9 seasons), and the Illini finished top 5 in 7 seasons including 2 Big Ten champions. Underwood's tenure- the Big Ten has sent 2 teams to the Final Four and had 0 NCAA champions (in 5 seasons *Covid), and the Illini finished top 5 in 3 seasons including one Big Ten championship (really 2, because F 2021.)
