What Happened The Last Time Illinois Played?

Oct. 28, 2022: Illinois 87, Quincy 52

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — On Friday night, Illini fans packed themselves inside State Farm Center for the first time since the court was stormed nearly 8 months ago.

The feel of that Big Ten-clinching win wasn’t quite matched, but Illinois fought off early struggles to toughen out an 87-52 victory over Division II Quincy.
