Illinois doesn’t play until Monday night at the Maui Invitational, but you can say that the Illini are already winning.

That’s Giorgi Bezhanishvili. He’s fun. He wants to have fun. He wants to win.
And he can dance.
Illinois’ freshman came in second place in the dance-off at An Evening with the Coaches Luau in Maui on Sunday (presumably), according to @RatedPTG on Twitter, who shared this amazing video with us. But Giorgi definitely deserved to win.
The best part of the video has to be Brad Underwood — in a Hawaiian shirt — at the first table looking on as his freshman big man is doing some concoction of a dance move.
Now, if he can show off those moves in the post against No. 3 Gonzaga on Monday, maybe the Illini can pull off a big-time upset?
