We’ve reached the end of what has been a long and painful decade of Illinois Basketball. In the last ten seasons, the Illini had three different head coaches and only managed to reach the NCAA tournament twice. Let’s rank the ten best players of this glorious stretch of Illini hoops.
This is my post so I get to make up the rules. In order to be considered, the player must have played at least two seasons at Illinois between the 2009-10 and 2018-19 seasons. That means there is no Ayo Dosunmu or Giorgi Bezhanishvili in this list.
