The Illini posted a 3-1 record on their foreign tour of Italy last week. Underwood’s group rolled in the first three contests before dropping the final game to the Netherlands B Team on Friday.
The trip got off to a rocky start with Andres Feliz and Kofi Cockburn being left behind in the United States due to visa issues. Jamall Walker stayed behind for a few days to sort through whatever logistical issues the team and players had going on. It seemed like there was a possibility for Feliz and Cockburn to rejoin mid-trip, but that never came to fruition.
