Illinois will have a pair of seven-foot brothers next season.
Arkansas transfer Zvonimir Ivisic will play for Illinois next year, he announced Saturday. The 7-foot-2 forward averaged 8.5 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game in his sophomore season. He began his collegiate career at Kentucky, where he played 15 games before transferring to Arkansas.
The Croatian forward will be joining his twin brother Tomislav Ivisic at Illinois. Both brothers average more than a block a game giving Illinois a tall and formidable front court defensively.
Illinois went 12-8 in the Big Ten this season and was eliminated in the second round of the NCAA Tournament by Kentucky. Next season, they will be anchored by a true pair of twin towers.
