The Big Ten men's basketball tournament is returning to Chicago's United Center in 2019.
And the league's annual media day event is back in the Chicagoland area as well ahead of the 2018-19 season after last year's stop in New York City and in Washington, D.C., in 2016.
On Thursday, the conference announced 36 men's basketball players who will attend the day-long event on Oct. 11 at the Hyatt Regency O'Hare in Rosemont.
For Illinois, senior guard Aaron Jordan and sophomore guard Trent Frazier will represent the Illini, along with second-year coach Brad Underwood.
Here's who the other Big Ten teams will send to the event:
