Which was followed up by the best pregame intro ever when the Loosiers played here the next year and Chester Frazier gave him the Chest Bump Heard Round The World. Chet will forever be in my Top 10 Illini if only for that pregame intro. Fantastic.

No mention of position-less basketball?
An abused term with some truth to it. Underwood's offensive system typically starts with a big high in the middle and 4 out spacing, using a series of cuts and reads to get easy buckets. There's obviously more to it, depending on players and line-ups on both sides, whether we're in transition, etc.. However, when people talk about recruiting, they often justify every potential line-up as workable because we're 'positionless'. More like clueless*
*For the record, I put myself in that group
