Minnesota @ Illinois: Post Game Links


Posted Jan 30, 2005


On Saturday afternoon, Illinois celebrated its 100th Year of Basketball with a win over Minnesota, and look back into the past of Illinois Basketball. The All Century Team was formally announced and provided with their awards, and over 300 former players, managers, and support staff were welcomed back in front of the sold out crowd. The highlight of the afternoon was Lou Henson's return to Assembly Hall wearing his trademark bright orange blazer.
