The Illini moved to 4-0 in the Big Ten and 11-3 overall with a 76-64 win over Maryland on Thursday night behind a monster performance from Kofi Cockburn and a Trent Frazier 2nd half heater.
After a fast start and a 21-7 Illini lead, Kofi Cockburn picked up his second foul. The Terps took advantage and turned a 14 point deficit into a 4 point halftime lead with Cockburn sidelined.

January 5, 2022
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- Relevant and powerful college football programs make the move that Bret Bielema made this week at the offensive coordinator.
Sure, it’s a little cold, maybe a little distasteful and even probably a little impatient move to terminate a person after just one season of work and after one season of a complete program rebuild by all staff members involved. It’s also something championship programs do when they see an element going in the opposite direction everybody desires.
