Pregame — 12:45 p.m.
The starters for Illinois today against UNLV are Trent Frazier, Kipper Nichols, Ayo Dosunmu, Aaron Jordan and Giorgi Bezhanishvili. The Illini are not only trying to end a three-game losing streak, they're also attempting to avenge an 89-82 loss to the Rebels last season in Las Vegas.
A nice treat today for the Illini faithful amid a tough start to the season ... Lou Henson is in attendance, along with wife Mary.
We'll tip off in about 12 minutes from State Farm Center.span id="cke_bm_89E" style="display: none;">
