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 Albert L. Hall and Henry J. Popperfuss as forwards, captain Carl P. Watson at center, and Louis S. Bernstein and Thomas Thompson as guards.[2]
