Illinois fans know the Big Ten season is a true test of toughness—every game is a battle, and the mental grind is just as real as the physical one. Coach Brad Underwood keeps it simple: focus on the next play, the next game, and never look too far ahead or behind. That’s easier said than done, especially when facing teams you’re “supposed” to beat. But Underwood’s approach is all about consistency and grit, and it’s what separates contenders from pretenders. How do you think this mindset shapes the Illini’s chances this year? Let’s hear your thoughts! #Sports #Illini #BigTen
