Regular season

The 1911–12 season was Thomas 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; Albert L. Hall, Homer W. Dahringer and R. P. Gates as forwards, H. T. Leo as the center, with James G. White and captain William H. Woolston at the guard positions.[2]
