Lou Henson (R.I.P.)

[Illini Dylan]

Winningest coach in Illinois history was laid to rest today. Took the Illini and New Mexico State to a Final Four.

Came to Illinois in 1975 and built up the program from literally nothing. The Orange Krush student section was founded in his living room. Great man and coach who loved the U of I.

RIP
