@@makemlaughtilithurts1718 Bruce Pearl helped get Illinois on probation also. He was an assistant at Iowa in those days & told the NCAA that Illinois tried to buy Deon Thomas. Bruce Pearl lied (that's what he does) but the school redshirt Deon Thomas. They needed him bc Illinois lost their whole frontline after this season

It’s such a shame that anytime Nick Anderson is brought up people only remember those missed free throws in the NBA finals. For me this will always be what comes to mind first when I think of Nick Anderson.

All down hill? They went to the Final Four in 92 and elite 8 in 83. This wasn't even a great Indiana team. The 92 or 93 team was much better.
