How the Illini can make consistency a habit
Brad Underwood raises his hands in bewilderment as his team gets blown out at home...again. Indiana is not good, and put the surging Illini in a blender all night.Happy Sunday, Illini Nation!
Inexplicably, Brad Underwood and the Illinois Fighting Illini basketball team has been able to squeeze my 40 years of Illini fandom into the three months that have comprised the 2022-23 season.
Emphatic victories over nationally relevant teams like UCLA (Vegas) and Texas (Madison Square Garden), sandwiched between compellingly awful beatdowns by Mizzou (by 22 in STL) and dual 15-point beatdowns at home to Penn State and Indiana...all three losses to unranked opponents.
