1913–14 Illinois Fighting Illini men's basketball team
The 1913–14 Illinois Fighting Illini men's basketball team represented the University of Illinois.
Regular season
The 1913–14 University of Illinois Fighting Illini men's basketball team, under the direction of second year coach Ralph Jones, took a step in a positive direction regarding the team's status in the Western Conference. The addition of key players, including future National Player of the Year, Ray Woods, helped guide the Illini to an overall record of nine wins and four losses.[1] The conference record, however, of seven wins and three losses marked, to date, the highest league winning percentage in the history of the university. Even though the team finished fourth in the conference, the starting squad of Kircher, Williford, Bane, Crane & Duner would return the following season.[2]
