The Basketball Museum of Illinois compiled a list of greatest Illinois basketball players. To find the entire list, go to Facebook and find the Basketball Museum of Illinois.
It should be noted that their criteria is that these are the players who had the best professional careers. With lists like this, no one ever agrees on what criteria should be used and then who should be on each list. It is just a way of creating conversation about the wonderful history of Illinois basketball!!!
