Illinois basketball starts the season on Monday with a nice tune-up game against Jackson State.
The game is slated to start at 7:30 p.m. CT/8:30 p.m. ET on the Big Ten Network. All Illini fans are excited to see the team on the court for a real game, but the question of who will be on the court still looms large.
There was a big injury update on Saturday, though. Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reported that newcomer Mihailo Petrovic, the projected starting point guard, and Ty Rodgers will both be out for the contest.
