For the second day in a row, Illinois basketball has reportedly lost a key contributor.
Wing player Tre White, who came to the Illini after playing at two different schools in his first two years of college basketball, will enter the transfer portal, according to ESPN.
White was a consistent scoring player and a reliable option outside of the Illini’s top offensive options of Tomislav Ivisic, Kylan Boswell and Kasparas Jakučionis.
“I’m fiery right now,” White said after the Illini’s NCAA Tournament second-round loss to Kentucky. “I feel like I can go play another game.”

White started 31 of 32 games for Illinois this season. He averaged 10.5 points per game and 5.5 rebounds per game as a 6-foot-7 forward.
He also shot just over 50 percent from the field.
This means White will be looking for his fourth team in four years.
