The Illini have a good team. They just beat #11 Texas Tech without Tomislav Ivisic.
They're young at some spots, but they have a good mix of big guards and frontcout players. Boswell is a strong veteran player.
And with the Ivisic brothers, Stojakovic, Mirkovic, and Petrovic, they might lead the country in Slavic surnames.

College football has Penn State as its perineal underachievers from the Big-however many there are now. College basketball has Illinois and Purdue.

Back In The Day - When college basketball was top notch, Illinois always had a top 10 team.

OP, Kendall Gill and Marcus Liberty aren't walking through that door in Champaign.

Illinois use to have one of the best logos in college sports. It’s a shame they don’t use it anymore.

Illinois has always been a good basketball team.

How exactly are you coming to that determination?
In 2024, Illinois won the Big Ten, and lost to the UConn Champions in the Elite 8.
By any metric, Illinois has outperformed LSU over the last 5, 10, 15 years. There's no reason that should be the case based on program potential. Really, I'd say LSU is one of the most underachieving programs in all of college basketball, along with Georgia, USC, Penn State, and some others.
Purdue really does not belong with the underachieving programs. They're top 10 in winning percentage over the last 10 years, with 6 deep tournament runs (Elite 8 or better). It was again that historic UConn team that ended their run in 2024.

The problem with Purdue is the lack of Final Fours and national championships compared to Indiana, Michigan State, and Ohio State and now UCLA in the big ten.

Illinois just waits for the tournament to crash out, LSU does it well before

Not really sure why LSU is even in a basketball thread
Congrats on being 1 of 2 teams in a 16 team conference to miss the tournament last year.
