Player to Watch: 

Senior guard Rayvonte Rice (#24) has missed 9 games due to injury & suspension.  He led Illinois with 19 points in the win vs Northwestern and added seven rebounds.

I have a source that said Walter Pitchford did not travel

Hip flexor.

I suspect this means Fuller may get more time.

No Walter Pitchford for Tonight's game @ Illinois (and Leslee Smith ailing with swollen Knee)

I have a source that said Walter Pitchford did not travel

The refs are still going to call it

I have a source that said Walter Pitchford did not travel

So do I it's called twitter

With Egwu playing I could see Moses drawing a start
