When reflecting back on the 2019-2020 Illinois Fighting Illini Basketball season and the sadness that comes from its abrupt, no-postseason ending, Andres Feliz is a player you can’t help but feel some heartbreak for. Far from a consolation prize, Andres Feliz will be back on the court competing with some former Illini on the House of ‘Paign roster in The Basketball Tournament.
A former 3-star recruit in 2016 who played his high school ball in Orlando, Florida — Feliz committed to the nearby USF Bulls — a team whose head coach at that time was current Illini assistant coach Orlando Antigua.
