As I was on vacation the week prior to the Fourth of July and since have been working on a fantasy draft for my Illini 30 for 30 series, here are some pertinent updates around the Illinois men's basketball program.
1. Last Sunday, Illinois transfer Mihailo Petrovic committed to Seton Hall. I was unsure if Petrovic would stay in college basketball or go back playing overseas, but he has decided to play for the Pirates and Head Coach Shaheen Holloway. Here's hoping Mihailo will get some more consistent playing time at Seton Hall.
2. On Tuesday, it was announced that Illinois will be playing Fran McCaffery's Penn team on November 5th at State Farm Center as part of its nonconference schedule. Of course, this game will be a rematch of the Illini's first round victory against the Quakers during the first round of the 2026 NCAA Tournament.
