The Illinois basketball team finished up their season with a loss to UCF in the Elite 8 of the NIT. This was a sad loss but one that was bound to happen.
Illinois is now essentially starting over. With a new head coach, things are going to have to change next season so we can get back on the winning track.
Paul Banks has a preview of next season.
One of the main goals for the Illinois basketball team was to keep Jamall Walker on the staff. He is one of the main recruiters that snagged the class of 2017.
