Henson, 83, went 423-224, including 214-164 in Big Ten play, in 21 seasons (1975-76 to 1995-96) in Champaign; he's best known for guiding the 1988-89 Illini, appropriately nicknamed the Flyin' Illini, to the 1989 Final Four.
See a picture of the new State Farm Center court design in the tweet above.
