Regular season
Second year Fighting Illini coach, J. Craig Ruby, took advantage of 12 returning players from a team that finished tied for fourth in the Big Ten a season earlier. The 1923–24 campaign would be the first of two conference titles during Ruby's tenure as the Fighting Illini's head coach. Though the final conference record of eight wins and four losses was not impressive, the Illini were still able to tie Wisconsin and Chicago in the race to be the best in the Big Ten.[1] The overall record for this team would be 11 wins and 6 losses. The starting lineup included captain G.E. Potter, T.D. Karnes, and John Mauer at forward, Leland Stillwell at center, and Jack Lipe, and R.H. Popken as guards.[2]
