Illini Basketball 2026-2027

Feels about exactly what we'd expect for Illinois, but was curious if we'd get the preseason offense #1. Michigan that low is really surprising.

Seems a pretty favorable jump offensively for Florida, but also has them taking a step back defensively, so that evens out i think Texas confuses me. jumping to 14 defensively when they finished last year 83 seems... unfounded.

And then Lville... offseason darlings once again, but what is the actual gameplan.

Great to give Hurley more bulletin board material.

There isn't a world where he'll be worse than 5 of those teams in front of him.

100% there's a world where that can happen

Just a couple years ago (24-25) they were AP Preseason #3 and finished unranked (#32 on KP)
That team lost it's entire starting lineup to the draft off two championships.

There is no way Iowa St, Alabama, Houston, Kansas will. I'm not sure any of these teams will even show up in the preseason top 15.

I'm still not sure who are on some of these rosters. Lipsey is back?
