Illinois Fighting Illini |
| 03/13 | 5:35am | Chester Frazier | G | Doubtful | Hand | Frazier injured his hand in practice on Wednesday and is likely to sit out Friday's Big 10 Tourney matchup with Michigan. He has played through many ailments, but an injury to the right hand of a right-handed shooter is more problematic.
