Illinois Fighting Illini Basketball Tickets

T he Illini started off last season 15-3 before a loss to Penn State started an avalanche that pushed them to 17-15 by the end of the season. This year they’ll be counting on seniors Brandon Paul and Tyler Griffey to provide the leadership to be able to push through the mid-season lull. Senior guard D.J. Richardson will be counted on as well to bring in the points from the perimeter.

Overall the senior leadership payed off for the Illini who wound up at the bottom of a highly competitive Big Ten but managed to hang on to a #7 seed berth into the East Regional's of the NCAA Tournament. With the likes of Miami, Marquette, and Indiana potential opponents inside the East bracket the Fighting Illini will need to be on their A game.

The Fighting Illini first began playing intercollegiate basketball in 1906. As of 2007, Illinois has a long list of accolades including one mythical national championship in 1915, 5 Final Four appearances, 2 Big Ten Tournament titles, and an incredible 17 regular season conference titles. Who can forget their 2005 NCAA Tournament run? After going an NCAA record 37-2 for the season, Illinois would play one of the most exciting games in the history of the tournament against Arizona. The Illini would have to come from a 15 point deficit with only 4 minutes left in the game to win by just one point.

The Fighting Illini have been a great team from the very start. The Whiz Kids - Andy Phillip, Gene Vance, Ken Manke and Jack Smiley - swept the Big Ten title by three games in 1942. In 1943, the team went 17-1, and Illinois was on the map as a basketball state. Though the team has never captured an NCAA championship, the Illini have made themselves true contenders every year, and are one of the msot consistent teams to have ever played college hoops.

The Illinois Fighting Illini play their home games at Assembly Hall in Champaign, Illinois. Assembly Hall was opened in 1963 and holds nearly 17,000 spectators. The dome is one of the most striking sports venues in America. At one point, Assembly Hall was one of only two such edge-supported domes in the entire world. This venue gets loud and is one of the great venues in which to watch college basketball. Buy Illinois Fighting Illini basketball tickets today and don’t miss any of this Big Ten action!
