Illinois basketball is set to get started in less than a month. I’ve seen some practice footage and watched Coach Underwood in his media availability, but that’s about it. For fun, I thought I’d predict the starting lineup and then see how it looks for real when the team has its exhibition against Illinois State.

Here’s my guess 1-5:

1. Mihailo Petrović 

2. Kylan Boswell
3. Andrej Stojaković
4. Ben Humrichous 

5. Tomislav Ivišić
