New Head Coach of Illini Women's Basketball

Illinois has a new head basketball coach for the Illini women's program. Keeping the Rutgers connection going (Coach Grentz came from there to Illinois), Jolette Law has been named head coach for the Illini after having served as Associate Head Coach for the Scarlet Knights. At her press conference yesterday, she declared that the Illini will win a national championship. That is a bold statement but I like the enthusiasm and passion. We wish her good luck in her new position!

Check out Fighting Illini Men's Tennis

On Friday, I put up a post to highlight Illinois' highly successful wrestling program. Today, I want to highlight another sport we don't often mention on the blog: The nationally ranked (#6) men's tennis team. For those of you who may not know, in 2002-2003, the team won a NCAA National Championship and went 32-0!

They have continued to have success since that title and are currently preparing to play for the 2007 USTA/ITA National Men's Team Indoor Championship on February 16-19 in Chicago at the Midtown Tennis Club. So all of you Fighting Illini fans in Chicago that are looking for something to do this upcoming weekend, click here for the tournament schedule or here for ticket information. Go out and support the nationally ranked Fighting Illini Men's Tennis!

GO ORANGE AND BLUE!
