per The Athletic:
Ben Johnson basically had to throw a team together last year after getting hired and losing his entire roster to the portal. He at least put something respectable together. In Year 2, he has Battle and Garcia to build a rotation around, but I’m more interested in seeing the eight freshmen and sophomores on the floor. Here’s hoping Johnson builds Minnesota as a program, not a transfer portal outpost.

The Hoosiers bring back nearly everyone from last season's tournament team while the Illini dipped into the transfer portal to reload.
