The Illinois basketball season cannot come soon enough! After an incredible run to the Final Four, the Illini have major expectations heading into the 2026-2027 season. Illinois retains over 60% of its scoring from last season and enters as one of the favorites in college basketball. There will undoubtedly be a massive target on the back of the Illini.
