Bret Bielema traveled with the Illini team Friday for its game at Michigan, according to Illinois broadcaster Scott Beatty on Friday's Illinois men's basketball radio broadcast.
This comes a day after Bielema's mother, Marilyn Bielema, died on Thursday.
On Friday morning, Bret Bielema tweeted, "Two different times and places that are alive in my mind. One of the last pics with my daughters and the other as I stand looking at an amazing mom who always put everyone else first. Those that knew her know what she was to my family and our community. Love you mom."
Beatty said that Marilyn Bielema died unexpectedly.
