What we’re most excited for this Illinois Basketball season

I wasn’t too avid of a watcher of the 2004-05 Illinois team (I was 7 and lived in the Chicago suburbs with very few relatives who attended Illinois), so the best backcourt duo I have ever seen is Trent and Ayo. The pair had its fair share of bumps and bruises last year, but when they were both on, boy, they were both on. And that’s when this is fun.

Hopefully after a year of playing side by side and understanding their roles in Underwood’s system, this dynamic duo can average upwards of 30 points per game and just be a national force to be reckoned with.
