Beckman leaning on Toledo experience to survive struggles

By: Aaron Bennett

Updated: October 2, 2012

CHAMPAIGN - Illinois' 2-3 start is cause for concern for Tim Beckman, but the new head coach isn't panicking just yet. Beckman points to his first year at Toledo, in 2009, where his team went 3-5 in the MAC. That team struggled in many of the same ways Illinois is, but he got the Rockets turned around. They went 14-1 in conference play the next two years.
