The Illinois basketball team has started the 2025-26 campaign off on the right foot.
Putting up back-to-back 113-point performances is something that is rarely seen in the college game. The Illini managed to accomplish this goal in the first two games of the season, and this offensive outburst has Illinois moving up the AP Top 25.
To begin the season, Illinois was ranked No. 17 in the country. That isn’t bad with quite a few missing parts, and the Illini having some big new pieces to the puzzle.
