Regular season

The 1911–12 season was T. E. Thompson's second year as head coach of the Illinois Fighting Illini men's basketball team. Under Thompson's guidance the Illini experienced a perfect non-conference season while at the same time having a less than perfect conference record.[1] Overall the team played to an eight win, eight loss record, however; all of the season's losses were within Western Conference play. During conference play the team won six times and placed fifth overall. The starting lineup for the team included; A. L. Hall, H. W. Dahringer and R. P. Gates as forwards, H. T. Leo as the center, with J. G. White and captain W. H. Woolston at the guard positions.[2]
