The Brad Underwood era is underway in Champaign as the 53-year-old was formally introduced as the Illini's newest men's basketball coach.
Underwood, who spent last season at Oklahoma State after three seasons at Stephen F. Austin, wasn't shy in setting expectations for his Illini team moving forward.
"I use the term a lot, and you'll hear me, 'I dream big.' It's a cliche that obviously I didnt' come up with, but I do. I dream big. And I dream bigger. And winning a national championship is something that can happen here," he said. "And I want to be a part of that and I want to help lead this program to that. And when your director of athletics has that same vision, that was important to me."
