Brad Underwood’s tight rotation era may be over
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Illinois’ newcomers are settling in fast, fast enough to make head coach Brad Underwood stress over how to allocate his minutes.
In his years as Illinois head coach, Underwood usually sticks to a seven, maybe eight-man rotation. With the amount of depth and talent on his roster, that might look a little different this year.
After three exhibition games and the regular-season opener, Illini fans have started to get a better idea of which new pieces in the roster are going to prove themselves as most vital this season, and where they fit in the rotation.
