But this cupcake has a razor blade in it.
It appears likely that Tracy Abrams, Malcolm Hill, Leron Black, Jalen Coleman-Lands, and Mike Thorne Jr. will be starting for the Illini.

Keene is one of the most dangerous players in college basketball. And just like Keon Johnson of Winthrop, he is a short dynamo of a guard who can completely dominate a game.
