Illinois has been waylaid by injury but heads to St. Louis a Braggin' Rights favorite

1 day to Braggin' Rights. Huge, huge game for many reasons.

The basketball team has suffered one major injury hit after another to diminish expectations. Senior point guard Tracy Abrams suffered a torn Achilles tendon in July, ending his comeback from the torn ACL that wiped out his previous season. [...]

During the team’s European adventure in August, junior forward Darius Paul’s off-court problems resurfaced in France. Authorities there nabbed him for vandalizing cars, resisting arrest and public intoxication. For the second and final time, Groce booted him off the team.
