The 2022-23 Illini Basketball Team is just WILD

Remember when Illinois was a 1-seed in the 2021 NCAA Tournament, just two short years ago?

What in the world has happened since then? Particularly, what has happened since #4 seeded Illinois lost in spectacular fashion to #5 seeded Houston in the 2022 NCAA Tournament?

Here’s a not-so-brief look at all of the wild events that have happened in the Illinois Basketball program since March 20, 2022.

OFF-SEASON:

March 21, 2022: Illinois bids farewell to fifth-year Senior Guards Trent Frazier, Da’Monte Williams, and Alfonso Plummer.

March 28, 2022: Polarizing sophomore PG Andre Curbelo enters his name into the transfer portal after sitting out roughly half of the 2021-22 season with a concussion.
