BEST team not to win a championship. My favorite Illinois team and the only other team that could play above the rim all 5 starters were 5 slama jama. WHAT a game that would be 89"Illinois vs 83"Houston. I say Illinois by 3-103-100. 80s were the best days for college hoops🏀☝󾓦💪

Those were the days! I remember going to the Prairie State Games before Kenny Battle's freshman year and watching him dominate and jump out of the gym. What an exciting team!

This team should've had Laphonso Ellis. Why he chose Notre Dame I will never know

All under 6'7" but none below 6'4". Would they succeed today?
