Illini Apologize for Taunting Gordon: Illinois coach Bruce Weber and other Illinois officials apologized to Indiana and Hoosiers freshman Eric Gordon for obscene chants by fans during Thursday’s game in Champaign. Gordon had verbally committed to Illinois, but Indiana continued recruiting him and he eventually signed with Kelvin Sampson and the Hoosiers. Illinois fans chanted “Liar, liar,” among often obscene chants throughout the 83-79 double overtime loss. Gordon struggled in the first half, scoring only one point. But he finished with 19 points, including a big three-pointer that helped send the game into overtime.

Former college basketball coach Mike Jarvis is back with a new book, The Seven C's of Leadership.

-Jay Wright, NCAA Championship Men’s Basketball Coach, Villanova University
"At a time in America when we are witnessing an epidemic of opioid addictions and deaths, along with suicides, we need Coach Jarvis' Seven C's of Leadership – grounded in the power of Christ alone where we should all make our stand.”
-Lietenant Colonel Allen B. West (U.S. Army, Retired), Bronze Star recipient, and Member 112th U.S. Congress
