CHAMPAIGN — Illinois men's basketball didn't lack for some standout offensive performances in the 2017-18 season.
Like Trent Frazier knocking down seven three-pointers and scoring 27 points at home against Iowa, then doing the same for 32 points against Wisconsin a month later.
Or Kipper Nichols posting a career-high 31 points at Madison Square Garden in the Illini's final game of the season in the Big Ten tournament against Iowa.
The Illinois offense as a whole, though, had its struggles in Brad Underwood's first season as coach. The Illini were among the Big Ten's least efficient offenses with three-point shooting and turnovers the biggest issues.
