House of ‘Paign, the University of Illinois’ “alumni” team, made a surprise run last summer in The Basketball Tournament, reaching the quarterfinals before bowing out to eventual champs Golden Eagles.
This year, HoP is back for another crack at the title — and the $1 million prize that comes with it. Several names remain the same from last year’s squad, but some new faces join House of ‘Paign this summer. Let’s meet ‘em.
Mike LaTulip
LaTulip returns for his second season as GM/Head Coach. He deserves loads of credit for putting HoP together and “recruiting” this year’s team, as well.
