UI basketball notes: 'I thought Trent was pressing a little bit'

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Wednesday night was Trent Frazier's first game out of Illinois' starting lineup since Nov. 13 when he didn't play against Georgetown after suffering a concussion in practice the day before that game.

Andres Feliz got the start in Frazier's stead.

Frazier entered Wednesday night's 73-56 loss at No. 14 Purdue at the first media timeout, which didn't come until 7 1 / 2 minutes had passed. The 6-foot-1 sophomore guard finished with eight points off the bench, but was just 3 of 13 from the field and 2 of 6 from three-point range on a rough shooting night for the Illini.
