It's been 13 years since Illinois played for the NCAA title. Here's what that starting five is up to now:
Deron Williams
The three-time NBA All-Star and two-time Olympic gold medalist is enjoying his first season away from basketball. Part of his time is spent as one of the hosts of the Ballers and Brawlers podcast on combat sports.
Dee Brown
Brown spent 13 months back at his alma mater working for then athletic director Mike Thomas and briefly on the men's basketball support staff. After resigning in Oct. 2016, Brown was named a UIC assistant coach this past August.
