It has been an interesting few days with most of the Illini taking in all of the great culture from around the world. But I say most Illini because Kofi Cockburn and Andres Feliz couldn’t make the trip. There were some travel issues, so Cockburn is in New York and Feliz is in the Dominican Republic, according to the Illinois men’s basketball Twitter account. They will both be back before August 26, though.
Despite missing two big pieces to the Illini having a successful season, the Orange and Blue carried on. Their first game was against CUS Insubria on Tuesday.
