College career

Sophomore season

He joined the Illini for the 2024–25 season. However, due to playing professionally, the NCAA took one year of eligibility from him, effectively treating him as a sophomore. Throughout the season he was plagued by health issues, as he suffered an ankle injury and missed several practices and games due to mononucleosis and the flu. Following the conclusion of the Big Ten regular season, he received an honorable mention from the media in the Big Ten awards.

Junior season

Prior to the start of his junior season, Ivišić underwent a tonsillectomy. He recovered in time to play in the opening game of the season. He later injured his knee in practice and missed the next three games.

Personal life

Tomislav's twin brother Zvonimir Ivišić was also a professional basketball player with whom he moved to Šibenik in Croatia from his hometown Vitez in Bosnia and Herzegovina when he was 14 to play for Šibenka. They both moved to Podgorica in Montenegro to play for SC Derby.
