The Fighting Illini host the Fighting Irish on Monday as part of the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. Illinois is coming off an ugly win against Texas-Rio Grande Valley, while the Irish lost 73-67 to Texas A&M in Las Vegas.
The Illini will be without Trent Frazier and Benjamin Bosmans-Verdonk. Brad Underwood did not hold a practice on Saturday due to what he described as the flu bug. “As I’m walking down the court today, I have no idea who I’ve got,” Underwood said on Sunday. Andre Curbelo and Jacob Grandison missed the game on Friday with injuries, so they could also be out again.
