Illinois has an outstanding home in State Farm Center. Known as Assembly Hall from its construction in 1963 to 2013, the iconic arena was renamed State Farm Center on April 29, 2013, with the announcement of a 30-year, $60 million naming rights agreement. State Farm Center underwent a complete renovation from 2014-16, dubbed the Illinois Renaissance. The $169.5-million project included a renovated seating bowl; the addition of four levels of premium seating; improved restrooms and concessions; a team hall of fame; air conditioning and many other amenities. Construction occured around each Fighting Illini basketball season, with the project completed in the fall of 2016.

The historic building opened on March 2, 1963, and continues to attract attention for its design and construction. Four hundred feet across, it at one time was one of only two edge-supported domes in the world. The roof is supported by 614 miles of one-quarter inch steel wire wrapped at the base of the dome under intensive pressure. The architect was Max Abramovitz, a distinguished University of Illinois alumnus.

Illinois opened play at State Farm Center on March 4, 1963, with a 79-73 victory over Northwestern. Since that first game, the Illini have accumulated a598-169 (.780) record. Illinois has sold out a total of 258 games at State Farm Center and has ranked in the top 25 nationally in home attendance 37 of the last 39 years. Fans help turn State Farm Center into a sea of orange for every Illini home game, with practically every person in attendance proudly wearing orange. That, com- bined with the Orange Krush student cheering section surrounding the court, gives the Illini one of the best home court advantages in the country.

Seating capacity for Fighting Illini basketball following State Farm Center renovations is 15,544.

HEAD COACH BRAD UNDERWOOD (1ST YEAR, 2018) Brad Underwood was hired as Fighting Illini men’s basketball coach on March 18, 2017. He came to Illinois from Oklahoma State, where he led OSU to a 20-win season and NCAA Tournament appearance. The Cowboys had one of the most exciting and prolific offenses in the country, ranking fifth in the NCAA in scoring and leading the nation in adjusted offensive efficiency. Underwood arrived in Stillwater following a dominant run at Stephen F. Austin where he led the Lumberjacks to Southland Conference regular season and tournament titles in each of his three seasons. Underwood compiled an 89-14 record at SFA, tied with Brad Stevens (Butler, 2008-10) for the most wins by a head coach in his first three seasons at an NCAA school.

LOU HENSON COURT

The University of Illinois Division of Intercollegiate Athletics announced on Aug. 24, 2015 the naming of the basketball court at State Farm Center as Lou Henson Court. The court was officially dedicated at halftime of Illinois’ first home game in the renovated State Farm Center, on Dec. 2, 2015 versus Notre Dame in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge. The Lou Henson Court logo includes Henson’s signature accented by his patented orange blazer and a pair of wings as a nod to the Flyin’ Illini of 1989, his greatest UI team.

Henson was hired at Illinois on April 5, 1975. What followed was a legendary 21-year career in charge of the Orange and Blue. He amassed a 423-224 record, highlighted by 12 NCAA Tournament appearances, a total of 15 postseason bids, and eleven 20-win seasons. Illinois basketball was one of the nation’s most dominant programs during Henson’s tenure, earning a top-5 seed in the NCAA Tournament seven straight years from 1984 through 1990.

Henson’s Illini won the 1984 Big Ten Championship and advanced to the Elite Eight. His most successful season came with the Flyin’ Illini, who won a then-school record 31 games and advanced to the 1989 NCAA Final Four. Henson ranks fifth all-time among Big Ten coaches in both total wins (423) and conference wins (214). He was inducted into the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame on Nov. 20, 2015 in Kansas City.
