Hill's support system helped him through his four-year career

CHAMPAIGN — Malcolm Hill doesn’t want the possible emotions of today’s Senior Night game, his last at State Farm Center, to get in the way of playing like he knows he can as Illinois tries to extend its winning streak to four against Michigan State.

Hill will likely be his calm, collected self.

But Senior Night isn’t solely about the players. It’s about their parents, too. So how does Hill think his parents will handle it?

“She doesn’t like showing her emotions, so I don’t know if she’ll be emotional,” Hill said about his mom, Machanda.
