Illinois basketball fans are seeing what fun it is to have some size in the paint.
This season, the Illini have trotted out multiple 7-foot big men. While Tomislav Ivisic, 7-foot-1, is currently hurt and should be back sometime in the coming months, his brother, Zvonimir, 7-foot-2, is holding his own in the paint.
Brad Underwood did a great job going out and landing both Ivisic brothers over the last two seasons. Having talented big men has been a trend with Underwood, and that trend will hopefully continue by landing Sinan Huan.
