Gonna be another rough season for the Illini this year as they keep just working toward getting better... but next year's combo of Frazier/Dosunmu/Giorgi is almost certainly a Top 5 returning trio in the 2019/2020 Big Ten, *and* they'll put Cockburn on top of that? Yeah, they're due. I know I'm a Brad Underwood homer, but between his recruits improving with time and the fact that they've been *exceedingly* unlucky in close games (bottom 10 in KenPom Luck last season, bottom 3 in KenPom Luck this season) suggests that they're both far better than their record and they have a good outlook once the Luck regresses to the mean.
