Champaign is about to relive one of its proudest basketball moments as the entire starting five from the iconic 2004-05 Fighting Illini men’s team reunites for their 20th anniversary. Dee Brown, Deron Williams, Luther Head, Roger Powell, and James Augustine—names every Illini fan remembers—are all coming back to campus, along with former coach Bruce Weber. Their unforgettable run, especially that wild comeback against Arizona, still sparks debate about the greatest teams never to win it all. This reunion is more than nostalgia—it’s a chance for the community to celebrate a team that put Illinois basketball on the map. Who else still gets chills thinking about that Elite Eight game? #Sports #FightingIllini #Champaign
