These College Basketball Teams Are Flying Under the Radar—And Could Shake Up the Season!
Zvonimir Ivisic was a big get as a transfer to back up his twin, Tomislav. It gives Illinois 40 minutes of a 3-and-D center with physicality. Andrej Stojakovic and David Mirkovic bring crafty scoring and a willingness to keep the ball moving.
Add it all up, and the Illini are the top team in offensive TRACR in Division I. The bigger question is on the other side of the ball, where Illinois ranks 27th in defensive TRACR.

Zvonimir Ivisic has improved his physicality as the year has gone on, but Illinois still doesn’t get a lot of blocked shots and doesn’t have the individual defenders to handle massive wing scorers (Pryce Sandfort ate them alive to the tune of 32 points when Nebraska beat Illinois on Dec. 13).
