Illinois Basketball: The Illini are on the verge of something special

I can’t tell you the last time this program has had this type of buzz. The Brad Underwood era started off rocky but is getting back on track with a 12-5 record overall and a 4-2 Big Ten record through about half of the season.

This great start to the 2019-2020 campaign has landed the Illini in second place in the conference. They are right behind Michigan State, who we were pounded by but the Spartans lost by almost 30 to Purdue over the weekend. Sometimes I don’t understand the Big Ten.

But the Illini are second in the conference right now.
