Hours after Illinois’ exhibition win over Illinois State, forward Ben Humrichous made headlines on Instagram, announcing his engagement to former Illini women’s basketball star Adalia McKenzie.
“All I can say is… Praise God!!” Humrichous wrote in the post.
It’s not clear to me when they started dating, but I’d be led to believe it was after Humrichous arrived on campus last year following his transfer from Evansville.
Humrichous returns to Brad Underwood’s squad this year after appearing in 35 games last season and averaging 7.6 points.
McKenzie graduated in May after playing in all 125 possible games during her Illini career, the sixth-most in program history. She scored 1,495 points, good for 13th on Illinois’ career scoring list.
Congrats to the happy couple!
