Bruce Weber has lost his team
Bruce Weber has lost his team, they currently trail Nebraska 64-36. I am guessing that means he has also lost his job. Hopefully they don't get it turned around before UM goes into Assembly Hall.

It has been mostly downhill for him since his '05 run with Bill Self's players. Even some good infusions of talent haven't helped that much. It's odd for a guy who came up at least partly through the minor leagues (so to speak).

I was actually thinking the same thing last week while watching Illinois play. Self really rebuilt that program and had them playing great ball. Under Weber it just seems like a steady decline.

has lost his team in true Zookian form

Its sad to see. I've always liked Bruce Weber. Always thought he was a good coach amd good guy.
February 18th, 2012 at 6:33 PM ^
He really REALLY has.

Currently a 42-2 run for Nebraska. Dear god.
February 18th, 2012 at 6:37 PM ^
Is that true?!?
If so, that must have been planned by the players, no?

ly
crap.
That's the sort of stuff you see on the yahoo frontpage. "Texas HS team wins game 105-8"
February 18th, 2012 at 6:51 PM ^
Haha that's a great

Illinois had their biggest lead at 24-16, then Nebraska went on a 26-2 run, or 36-4, or 43-7
Still crazy, but not 42-2
February 18th, 2012 at 7:29 PM ^
Yeah, I went through the play-by-play and counted 40-7. Either way, it's still incredible. But 42-2 and Weber would have been fired during the game.
February 18th, 2012 at 7:38 PM ^
Brian Ellerbe in Cameron thinks that's a rough stretch.
February 19th, 2012 at 12:00 AM ^
is certainly crazy, but then you remember the run is being done by Nebraska's basketball team! Cripes! If that isnt losing the team....
February 18th, 2012 at 6:35 PM ^
Good. It just makes that road game even easier.
February 18th, 2012 at 6:35 PM ^
holy shit.
February 18th, 2012 at 6:38 PM ^
He spent way too much time around Ron Zook

Meyers Leonard is sobbing uncontrollably.
February 18th, 2012 at 8:23 PM ^
his lottery pick projections are drifting away and now he realizes he has to come back to champaign next year.

Football team starts hot; dies
Basketball team starts well; dies

Make fun of Ron Zook all you want. I predict Illinois will be a repeat of MN after they fired Mason. Zook won big ten title at Illinois for gods sake. At least he could recruit and gave Ohio State some trouble. LOL!
February 18th, 2012 at 6:52 PM ^
Reminds me of Illinois football season.
February 18th, 2012 at 6:53 PM ^
his job.
February 18th, 2012 at 8:04 PM ^
I guess his toughness lessons over the past few days didn't sink in.

The goddamn plane has hit the mountain.
Quite a different view from the outside...
