Brad Underwood isn’t stressing about Illinois’ PG situation
NCAA Basketball: Bethune-Cookman at IllinoisBrad Underwood’s offseason turned out to be an immediate success upon hearing the news that Terrence Shannon Jr. and Coleman Hawkins would be returning for another season.
Getting back a First Team All-Big Ten player in Shannon and a defensive anchor and program leader in Hawkins provides the Illini with a high floor for success.
One major question has lingered throughout the entirety of the offseason, however: Does Illinois have enough at point guard?
“Everybody seems to be worried about it except me,” Underwood said during Big Ten Media Day in Minneapolis on Tuesday.
