Bruce Weber's Track Record at Illinois

Mark Tupper has some great facts on Bruce Weber at Illinois, in his blog today:

And even though Weber bashers will bash away regardless, a couple of statistics offered up at the banquet indicate he must be doing something right. Illinois is one of only 10 schools in the country to have reached the NCAA Tournament every year since 2000. Illinois has now won at least 23 games for eight seasons in a row and 10 of the last 11 seasons. During Weber’s four-year tenure, Illinois has won 112 games and only Duke and Florida have equaled that number of victories.

And, going into this season, Weber is 8-for-8 in seniors graduating. With current seniors Carter, McBride and Marcus Arnold all on track to get their degrees, that would make it 11-for-11.

Weber bashers, take THAT!
