The word "team" is often overused in sports writing. It's used casually to refer to a collection of players that represent any old franchise or college. It's used passionately to describe a rooting interestthat's our team. And, occasionally, it's used to discuss what has come to be a clich: the idea of a group of individuals coming together for the common good, sacrificing all personal gain for the greater goal of winning a championship. Serious scribes don't toss around that meaning of the word team lightlyor very often. And with good reason. In sports, there's rarely a cause to use it. But, there is no wiser usage of the word "team"a unified core of players all working toward the same goalthan when applying it to the 200405 Fighting Illini squad that we've all come to cherish. They were a "team" like no other. Tales from the 200405 Fighting Illini captures the team stepby step on its March to the Arch. NewsGazette reporter Brett Dawson shadowed Bruce Weber's boys the entire season and shares his insights into what made this team so special. The entire season was a rollercoaster ride of emotion: from the thrilling peaksvictories over Wake Forest, Wisconsin, Michigan State and Arizonaand unfortunate lowsthe loss to Ohio State and the death of coach Weber's mother. Dawson adds a new perspective to those moments, plus goes behind the scenes to discover what made this team tick. He examines their funny bone as well as their fierce will to win. It's all here: from Midnight Madness to the first "Dee for Threeeeee" to the hoisting of two Big Ten trophies and finally a date with North Carolina in the NCAA finals. Dee, Deron, Luther, Roger, and Jamesled by the national coach of the yearhave a story to tell. Until today, only half of it has been told.
