Regular season

For the first time since organized basketball became a sanctioned sport within the university, the Fighting Illini basketball team was led by a returning head coach.[1] Herb V. Juul remained as the head coach of a team that played only nine games, each being a conference game. The Illini finished their season with a record of five wins, four losses and a fourth place finish in the Western Conference. The starting lineup for the team included A. L. Hall and H. J. Popperfuss as forwards, captain Carl P. Watson at center, and L. S. Bernstein and T. E. Thompson as guards.[2]
