Deon Thomas, the University of Illinois' all-time men's basketball scoring leader, will serve as the speaker at the 2022 UIS Basketball Tip-Off event. The annual fundraiser is an opportunity for fans to take a look inside the UIS basketball programs. The cost of attendance is $100. The event will include a Q&A with coaches and players, a catered meal, and interaction with the team. Attendees will also receive a UIS Basketball giveaway item while supplies last. The proceeds from the event directly benefit the UIS men's and women's basketball programs.
