Crisp ball movement vs. FDU

Nov 3, 2026 2:54 AM

Illinois is winding down a monstrous blowout victory over Fairleigh Dickinson University right now, and the thing that's stood out to me most is Illinois' ball movement.

30 assists to four turnovers so far, with 27 seconds left in the game. This is exactly the type of debut I envisioned and hoped for with Brad Underwood's team.

The Illini look sharp so far. Granted, the level of opponent isn't exactly Final Four caliber, but this looks like it's going to be a very fun season judging by what I've seen so far. 

Great passing has led to a three-point barrage. Check out some highlights below.
