CHAMPAIGN, Ill. – Illinois men's basketball single-game tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday at 12 p.m. CT. 

Illinois has sold out of public season ticket inventory for the second straight year, while student season tickets are sold out for the fifth season in a row, this time in a record 18 minutes.

Fighting Illini Basketball has high expectations once again this year and will enter the 2025-26 season ranked No. 17 in the AP poll. The Illini return three starters from a 22-win campaign, NCAA Tournament Second Round appearance, and final kenpom ranking of 17^th last season.

Illinois' key contributors returning are point guard Kylan Boswell, center Tomislav Ivisic, forward Ben Humrichous and forward Jake Davis.

Joining the mix are a pair of impact college transfers in forward Zvonimir Ivisic from Arkansas and guard Andrej Stojakovic from Cal.

Illinois has continued its successful recruiting run in Europe with two more standout acquisitions in point guard Mihailo Petrovic of Serbia and forward David Mirkovic of Montenegro.

A pair of promising freshmen from the U.S. high school ranks also look to make an immediate impact: guard Keaton Wagler, the 2025 Kansas Gatorade Player of the Year, and guard Brandon Lee, the No. 7 scorer in the state of New Jersey last season. 

Illinois is the winningest team in Big Ten play over the last six years of the Brad Underwood era and has won Big Ten championships in three of the last five seasons.

During this stretch the Illini are one of only four teams nationally with six-straight 20-win regular seasons, one of 13 teams in the country to make five-straight NCAA Tournament appearances, and the only Big Ten team to post a winning league record in each of the last six years.
