CHAMPAIGN — Trent Frazier vocalized one of his 2018-19 season goals on Monday. Now Illinois basketball coach Brad Underwood is going to hold the sophomore guard to it.
"I'm just going to put it out there because we're all going to hold him accountable to it now because he said it," Underwood said. "He said, 'I want to be All-Defensive Team in the Big Ten.' A year ago, that was far, far, far from anything in Trent's mindset. We've seen tremendous growth."
Frazier did lead all Big Ten freshmen in steals a year ago, and he was one of just five freshmen nationally to lead his team in assists, steals and three-pointers.
