Northeastern Illinois Golden Eagles men's basketball formerly represented Northeastern Illinois University in intercollegiate men's basketball. The team participated in NCAA Division I beginning with the 1990–91 season.[1]
The squad briefly joined the East Coast Conference before moving to the Mid-Continent Conference from 1994–98. At the end of the 1997–98 academic year, the university's administration disbanded the athletic department.[2]
Leading players of this era included high-scoring guard Reggie Smith (1991–94) and imposing center Monte O'Quinn (1992–96). Another guard, Andrell Hoard (1995–97), won the 1997 ESPN National Slam Dunk Championship.[3]
