March Madness in Boston

Thanks to everyone who came out to support Fighting Illini Basketball and the Boston Illini

From Duquense to Iowa State and finally to UCONN, our members and fans showed up to cheer on the Illini for what was a memorable.

  • Taking Over Hurricane's at the Garden

    Hurricane's at the Garden on Canal Street became the Boston Illini Club's home of the Sweet 16 and Elite 8. Hundreds of Illini fans and faithful turned up to energize before the game - our hosts even had their own version of "Blue Guys" available!

  • Illini Coming to Town

    Fans and alumni from all over visited Boston for the Sweet 16 and Elite 8 games. We were honored to have Athletic Director Josh Whitman, the Marching Illini Hoops Band, Cheerleaders, and Illini legends Dion Thomas and Stephen Bardo dropped by to meet with fans.

  • Courtside in the Garden

    Kudos to Fighting Illini Athletics for helping some lucky members score courtside seats for the UCONN game. We did our best with the cheerleaders and band to keep our team pumped. Unfortunately, UCONN was a tough match that went on to win it all.

  • Duquense Watch Party

    With a trip to Boston on the line, everyone was eager to watch Illinois steamroll Duquense. We gathered at the venerable watering hole - Teddy's on the Hill - to cheer on the Illini.
