Illinois basketball lands Serbian star guard

Illinois just locked in Mihailo Petrovic, the Serbian point guard who’s been the talk of the offseason. After months of waiting, the Illini finally made it official—Petrovic is set to lead the backcourt for 2025-26. At 22, he brings serious experience, speed, and a physical edge that’s rare in college hoops. Coach Underwood calls him the “consummate point guard,” able to score or facilitate depending on what the team needs. With Petrovic now on board, do you think Illinois has the final piece for a deep tournament run? Let’s hear your thoughts on how he’ll fit in! #Sports #IllinoisBasketball #MihailoPetrovic
