WCIA – The start of the 2022-23 college basketball season is fast approaching, as Illinois men’s and women’s basketball travel to Minneapolis for Big Ten Media Days.
Brad Underwood and the men will look to defend their Big Ten title, while first-year head coach Shauna Green will try to get the women’s team out of last place. Even with opposite results in 2022, each team will look rather new heading into the new season.
“I said what I loved the most was putting the pieces of the puzzle together and trying to fit them together,” Underwood said. “We’re going to have to get these guys in and put this puzzle together soon enough because if you haven’t looked at our schedule, we’re up against a few people.”
“Really, the most important thing for us is to instill our culture and our expectations and our standards,” Green said. “Every day what it takes to be elite and have the means to win.”
The men’s first exhibition will be on October 28 against Quincy, while the women’s team won’t see the floor until November 4, when they also host Quincy.
