Illinois Fighting Ilini Tickets

When Bruce Weber took over as the head coach of the University of Illinois basketball program, he became an instant success when won the Big Ten regular season title and took the Fighting Illini to the Sweet Sixteen. Then the following season he guided the team to another Big Ten title, as well as a championship in the Big Ten Conference Tournament and a magical run to the NCAA Final Four that ended with a 37-2 record and a tough loss to the North Carolina Tar Heels in the national title game. Even though Weber has not achieved that level of success since then, last year’s Illini team showed tremendous promise and the hope that this season could be another big one in Urbana-Champaign. GoTickets is your best source for Illinois basketball tickets for every game this season.

The Illinois basketball schedule started off nicely last season as the Illini jumped out to a 10-1 record and rose up to #12 in the polls with early season wins over North Carolina and Maryland. The team struggled a bit in Big Ten Conference play but they played a very strong game against #1 ranked Ohio State in a home game at Assembly Hall in Champaign and they also had a home win over #17 Michigan State. As always, Assembly Hall was sold out for the majority of games last season, so many fans turned to GoTickets to find the best University of Illinois tickets at the best prices.

Last season’s Illinois basketball roster featured three seniors, but Weber had recruited a good class of freshman talent to come in and fill those voids. Any program that makes it to the Final Four will inevitably hit a slow period and need to rise up again, and that appears to be what is going on at Illinois. The team certainly has the fan support and recruiting ability to compete at the top of the Big Ten, and this year will give fans a chance to see newcomer Nebraska join the conference.
