Illinois latest Big Ten team to push pace

If I were a coach at a rebuilding program, the first thing I'd do is say my teams were going to play uptempo. And I actually would play uptempo. It makes perfect sense! Not only do fans get a more aesthetically pleasing (or at least exciting) brand of basketball, something to keep them interested while the program retools, but young recruits seem to prefer to play that style of basketball generally anyway. It's a selling point in at least two ways -- before and after the top talent arrives.
