WIll the Illini leave Providence with a losing record? Or will John Groce's team correct some of the flaws it showed in the first two games, namely on defense? Did beat writer Marcus Jackson expect this kind of offensive outburst from Mike Thorne Jr.? Will the defense improve? Before the Illini and Friars tip off Wednesday night at the Dunkin' Donuts Center, Jackson conducts his weekly chat at 12:30 p.m. Wednesday. As always, feel free to submit questions ahead of time.
