Oct. 28 Illinois basketball chat

Mike Thorne Jr. impressed many in attendance during Sunday's Illini scrimmage. Who else caught beat writer Marcus Jackson's eye? How is the Prairie Capital Convention Center coming along with the first game in Springfield less than two weeks away? Any injury updates? Recruiting?

Anything is fair game in Jackson's weekly chat, which gets off at 12:30 p.m. Wednesday. As always, questions submitted in advance are encouraged.
