preseason notes New Era of Fighting Illini Basketball John Groce enters his first season as head coach of the Fighting Illini after taking the Ohio Bobcat program to new heights during his four seasons in Athens. Groce led the Bobcats to Mid-American Conference Tournament titles and NCAA Tournament appearances in both 2010 and 2012. Ohio won a school-record 29 games last season and advanced to the Sweet 16 with victories over No. 4 seed Michigan and No. 12 seed South Florida before falling to top-seeded North Carolina in overtime in the regional final. The Bobcats finished the season ranked 25th in the Coaches poll. Groce recorded a total of three NCAA Tournament wins at Ohio, as the Bobcats also defeated No. 3 seed Georgetown in 2010. Returning for the Illini Illinois welcomes back four starters, nine letterwinners and a total of 11 players, including six of the eight players who logged a majority of the minutes last year. Overall, Illinois returns 70.7 percent of its points, 69.3 percent of its rebounds, and 72.4 percent of its minutes played from the 2011-12 campaign. Leading the way this season are senior guards Brandon Paul and D.J. Richardson. Paul was a third-team All-Big Ten selection last year after leading the Illini in scoring (14.7 ppg), assists (2.9 apg) and steals (1.4 spg), while ranking second on the team in rebounds (4.7 rpg). Richardson, meanwhile, was third on the team in scoring with an average of 11.6 points and was the UI s top 3-point shooter, nailing 71 treys. Another senior the Illini will rely on is forward Tyler Griffey, who averaged 4.9 points and 3.3 rebounds last year. Griffey scored in double figures four times, led by a career-high 18 points at Michigan. Junior Joseph Bertrand enjoyed a breakout season last year, averaging 6.5 points to rank fourth on the team. His comingout party came in the Braggin Rights game, where he scored 19 points on 9-of-9 shooting versus Missouri. Bertrand also netted a career-high 25 points against Nebraska. The heart and soul of the team is sophomore Tracy Abrams, who was voted the team s most valuable player by his teammates last season in becoming the first true-freshman in school history to be named Illini MVP. Abrams earned 19 starts, averaging 4.3 points and 2.3 rebounds. Sophomore Nnanna Egwu gained valuable experience last season as a true freshman, playing nearly 10 minutes per game as a reserve behind Meyers Leonard while also competing against Leonard each day in practice. Like Egwu, sophomores Myke Henry, Mike Shaw and Ibby Djimde, as well as redshirt-freshman Devin Langford, will have the opportunity to compete for expanded roles this year after adjusting to the rigors of the college game last season. Also returning for the Illini is junior Kevin Berardini, who is now in his third year as a walk-on. New Faces While the Illini do not add any scholarship freshmen to the roster, there are three new additions to this year s team. Fifth-year senior Sam McLaurin graduated from Coastal Carolina in May and is eligible to play immediately due to NCAA graduate transfer rules. McLaurin will bolster the UI frontcourt after averaging 10.0 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.2 blocks last season for the Chanticleers, while shooting 65.2 percent from the field. Hometown product Rayvonte Rice returns after starring the last two seasons at Drake. Rice will sit out this season due to NCAA transfer rules, then will have two seasons of eligibility remaining with the Illini. Rice nearly reached the 1,000-point mark in just two seasons at Drake, totaling 983 points. He averaged 16.8 points and 5.8 rebounds last season, earning second-team All-Missouri Valley Conference honors while leading the MVC in steals at 1.9 per game. Rice led Centennial High School to a state title as a junior in 2009, and finished his prep career as the all-time leading scorer in Champaign-Urbana history. The final newcomer is freshman Mike LaTulip, who turned down scholarship opportunities elsewhere to join the Illini as a preferred walk-on. LaTulip averaged 22 points as a senior at Prospect High School, making 75 three-pointers on the season while shooting nearly 39 percent from behind the arc. Illini Backcourt Features Two 1,000-Point Scorers Guards Brandon Paul and D.J. Richardson reached the 1,000-point milestone last season, with Richardson netting his 1,000th point against Ohio State on Feb. 21 and Paul scoring his 1,000th point the very next game versus Iowa on Feb. 26. Paul currently ranks 43rd on the Illinois all-time scoring chart (1,056 points), with Richardson right behind at No. 44 on that list (1,035 points). Paul and Richardson enter their senior season as two of only four active Big Ten players with 1,000 career points, joined by Indiana s Christian Watford (1,287 points) and Northwestern s Drew Crawford (1,283 points). D.J. For Three D.J. Richardson led the UI with 71 three-pointers last season, ranking third in the Big Ten with 2.2 threes per game. Richardson currently ranks seventh on the Illini career three-point field goals list with 195 and is on pace to finish his career ranked among the top three most prolific 3-point shooters in school history. Historic Night for BP3 Brandon Paul scored a career-high 43 points in Illinois 79-74 win over No. 5 Ohio State on Jan. 10 at the Assembly Hall. It marked the third-highest scoring performance in school history and tied the fifth-highest single-game total in the NCAA during the season. It also was the highest point total by a Big Ten player in 18 years. Paul was incredibly efficient in the game, hitting 11-of-15 shots, including 8-of-10 3-pointers, and 13-of-15 from the line. He became the first NCAA player in the last 16 seasons with 43+ points on 15 or fewer field goal attempts. And his eight 3-pointers tied the Illini school record. Paul scored Illinois final 15 points of the game over the last 2:40, outscoring the Buckeyes 15-8 down the stretch. Leonard a Lottery Pick The Illini look to fill a big opening in the middle of the lineup previously occupied by Meyers Leonard. Following an impressive sophomore campaign where he ranked second on the team in scoring (13.6 ppg), third in the Big Ten in rebounding (8.2 rpg) and led the conference in blocked shots (1.6 bpg), Leonard declared for the NBA Draft. Leonard was drafted by the Portland Trail Blazers with the No. 11 overall pick, becoming the third Illinois player selected in the lottery and 15th first-round pick in school history, and the highest drafted player since 2005, when Deron Williams was taken third overall. 28 // fighting illini Basketball // 1,667 Victories // 17 Big Ten Championships // 29 NCAA Tournament Appearances // Five Final Fours Returning Illini Leaders Category Player Statistic 11-12 Rank Minutes/MPG D.J.
