Illini Basketball: 2019-2023 Predictions
David Banks-USA TODAY SportsI know what you’re thinking. Yes, we are really going to talk about the next four basketball seasons. Why not? We’re in that limbo period between basketball and football. Volleyball is over (we’re coming back for you, Final Four). Baseball and softball appear to be off to good starts, so that’s a plus!
My mind has been pretty focused on the 2019-20 season for both our basketball and football programs. It seems that year three for Underwood and year four for Lovie would be about the time we should see some marked improvement. Other important sports (such as volleyball) have already proven to be elite. It’s time for the revenue sports to buck up.
