Just a year prior, no one could have predicted the Illini would make a run, snag a top-four seed in the Big Ten Tournament, be a solid NCAA tournament bid and then everything gets canceled by a pandemic. This has absolutely been the craziest sports year in my lifetime.
But things will eventually go back to as normal as possible. The college basketball season in a few months away still, so I assume there will be a game plan in place to open up the season on time. With that being said, Illinois should be ready to hop back on the horse and start winning again.
