Best of Northern Illinois Men's Basketball (1900-2000) The Northern Illinois University athletic department celebrated 100 years of Huskies basketball in the
2000–01 season. A panel of 29 Administrators, NIU Staff/Faculty, NIU Alumni, Media and NIU Media Services were given the opportunity to cast votes for the greatest players to ever don the cardinal and black of Northern Illinois University, resulting in a total of 46 players. Eighty-six different Huskie players received at least one vote, including 33 Northern Illinois Hall of Famers, plus 12 performers either drafted or signed as free agents by the
National Basketball Association. Members of the All-Century Team were acknowledged at halftime of the NIU-
Ball State Cardinals men's basketball game on Saturday February 17, 2001 in
Chick Evans Field House. ==Season-by-season records==
