CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (WCIA) — The Illinois Men’s Basketball team presented a slightly refurbished Music City Madness trophy to head coach Brad Underwood on Wednesday. The trophy had been broken in the locker room the previous month.

In a video shared on the team’s social media platforms, center Tomislav Ivisic handed the orange guitar, now glued and mounted in a custom frame, back to Underwood. This gesture followed an earlier social media clip showing Ivisic enthusiastically smashing the guitar on the floor to celebrate the team’s victory over Tennessee.
