Illini Basketball Schedule for the 2024-2025 Season
Brad Underwood and Illini basketball always host a schedule of the best competition.

Official Illini Basketball Schedule for the 2024-2025 Season
The Illini basketball schedule for the 2024 season will be jam-packed with marquee matchups. Without a doubt, the Illini have an extremely difficult non-conference schedule. They face a number of the top SEC schools early in the season and also face the Duke Blue Devils at some point in February. Given the significantly difficult schedule, there should be no shortage of “resume-boosting” opportunities for the Illini. For instance, Alabama and Tennessee are tabbed as favorites in the SEC.
Here are the non-conference games that are currently on the Illini basketball schedule.
Non- Conference Schedule
Certainly, there are more games that will be added to this slate. However, most of the remaining slots will likely include low-major programs.
