Can the university see my browsing history if I use incognito mode, but while still connected to IllinoisNet?

It might sound like overkill, but it doesn't hurt to pick a good VPN while you're choosing your first VPN. In particular, you should avoid a VPN housed in a Five Eyes country (Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the UK, or the US). The three VPNs recommended by Privacy Tools are Mullvad (Sweden), Proton (Switzerland), and IVPN (Gibraltar). Many other services are fine. But in all cases, you are switching your informational deference from your base ISP (in this case, IllinoisNet) to your new pay-for-play ISP (your VPN), and you have to rely on faith that the VPN will act to protect your interests if push comes to shove.
