Illinois coach Brad Underwood on the state of the team:“I like where we’re at because we’re whole again. We’re finally back in a position where we have our roster. We’ve played a lot to this point without somebody ... It’s nice to just be able to kind of grow that way. I feel solid. It’s a great league. Every game has its own merits and toughness. You have to be great. I’m very comfortable with where we’re at.”
