With the stretch of Nebraska at home (Feb. 18), at No. 2 Michigan State (Feb. 20), and No. 9 Purdue at home (Feb. 22), Illinois is facing back-to-back 1-day preps in league play for the first time in 28 years, since the 1990 Illini squad played at Wisconsin (Jan. 25), Ohio State at home (Jan. 27), and at Iowa (Jan. 29). Illinois is taking on top-10 ranked opponents in consecutive games for the first time since 2013, when the Illini defeated No. 8 Ohio State (Jan. 5) before falling to No. 8 Minnesota (Jan. 9). Illinois is looking for its first win over a ranked opponent since beating No. 20 Iowa in the second round of the 2016 Big Ten Tournament in Indianapolis (March 10). Illinois last defeated a top-10 opponent on Feb. 7, 2013, when Tyler Griffey s layup at the buzzer led the Illini to a victory over No. 1 Indiana in Champaign. Illinois is forcing turnovers on 22.2 percent of opponent possessions during Big Ten play, the highest rate recorded by a conference team over the last eight years (Michigan, 22.2, 2010). Illinois leads the Big Ten in percentage of minutes played by newcomers (.484) and ranks second in the league behind Nebraska in percentage of points scored by newcomers (.402). Illinois has led during the second half in 10 of its 16 losses, including seven times in its 13 Big Ten losses.

Black has scored at least 12 points in 11 of the last 12 games, averaging 16.7 points (200) on 61.8 percent shooting (81-131). Frazier was named Big Ten Freshman of the Week on Feb. 12 after averaging 19 points, 2.5 rebounds, two steals and 1.5 assists last week against Wisconsin and Penn State. Frazier scored a career-high 32 vs. the Badgers, the most points in the Big Ten by a freshman this season and third-highest total ever by an Illini freshman. Frazier has scored in double figures in 17 of the last 19 games, averaging 15.7 points (299) and 1.7 steals (33) while shooting 39.5 percent from 3-point range (47-119) over that stretch.

Game 29 Notes from No. 2 Michigan State Illinois hung with No. 2 Michigan State on its home court throughout the first half, with the game tied at 21 at the 8-minute mark and the Illini trailing by just three at half. But the Spartans opened the second half on a 9-0 run to take a double-digit lead, where the margin remained the rest of the way. Illinois shot a season-low 32.7 percent (17-52), going an unusual 6-of-25 on layups/dunks. Leron Black led the Illini once again, scoring a game-high 20 points in just 22 minutes after early foul trouble limited to six first-half minutes. Black was 6-of-12 from the field and set career highs in a Big Ten game for both free throw makes and attempts, going 7-for-8 at the line. It marked Black s third-straight game scoring 20+ points, sixth time this season, and seventh of his career. 2 // Illinois Fighting Illini Basketball

Attendance: Illinois Purdue ILL PURDUE Looking Back at Last Year s Illinois-Purdue Game #21 Purdue 91, Illinois 68 (Jan. 17, 2017 at West Lafayette) Another slow start on the road led to an early deficit, and the Illini were unable to slow down Purdue s powerful offense, falling to the No. 21 Boilermakers at Mackey Arena. Purdue s first five baskets came off 3-pointers as the hosts build a quick 15-5 lead. That perimeter shooting then opened up the inside game, as the Boilers made 25-of-38 shots inside the arc to keep the margin in double figures the rest of the night. Illinois tied a school record with just three turnovers for the game and outscored Purdue 17-to-5 in points off turnovers. But that wasn t enough to offset the hosts shooting 60.4 percent compared to the Illini s 40.3 percent shooting. Maverick Morgan led the Orange and Blue in scoring for the third straight game, finishing with 15 points. Malcolm Hill had 12 points, five assists and two steals and Te Jon Lucas added 10 points.

In five of those games, Illinois either led or was tied in the final minute. And in three more, the Illini trailed by just one possession down the stretch. Three of Illinois Big Ten games have gone to overtime, with a fourth decided at the buzzer: At Wake Forest Trailed by three with 1:15 remaining Led with 17 minutes left At Northwestern Tied with 30 seconds left with ball Also led in OT Maryland Led by two with 4.6 seconds left with ball Also led in OT At UNLV Trailed by two with 3 minutes remaining Led with eight minutes left Vs.

Black has made at least 50 percent from the field in 23 games and is shooting 56.3 percent on the year (42nd in NCAA), compared to 45.3 percent from the field last year. Black is shooting 60.8 percent in 17 home games this season ( ). Black has made 80.2 percent of his free throws this season (12th in Big Ten) after entering the year as a 70 percent career shooter at the line.

Frazier ranked eighth on the Illini in scoring through the season s first 10 games at 5.8 ppg. Following the 19-game scoring binge he now ranks second on the team with an average of 12.3 points on the season. Frazier s scoring average increases to 14.1 points during conference play only leading all Big Ten freshmen. Frazier has scored in double figures in 18 of the last 21 games overall.

7 Nichols averaged 16.8 points (67) while shooting 58.3 percent overall (21-36), 47.1 percent from 3-point range (8-17) and 94.4 percent at the free throw line (17-18) over a four-game stretch from Jan. 22 through Feb. 4. Nichols ranks fourth in the Big Ten in free throw shooting at 85.5 percent (71-83). He is second during conference play at 90.7 percent (39-43). Junior Michael Finke is fourth on the team in scoring at 9.6 points per game. He averaged 6.9 points last season. Finke ranks second on the Illini in rebounding at 4.8 rpg while leading the team with an average of 2.0 offensive boards (13th in B1G). Junior Aaron Jordan ranks third in the Big Ten in 3-point shooting at 45.5 percent (40-88). He entered the year as a 30 percent career shooter from 3-point land. Jordan has scored in double figures in 10 games on the season after entering the year with two games in double digits through his first 55 career games. Jordan has totaled 40 three-pointers in 28 games after making 28 triples over his first two seasons. Freshman Greg Eboigbodin is shooting 64.7 percent from the field (22-34) during conference play. Illini Sign Five-Star Point Guard The Fighting Illini inked five-star point guard Ayo Dosunmu (EYE-oh dough-sue-moo) of Chicago Morgan Park High School to a national letter of intent during the fall signing period. Dosunmu had a dominating junior season for the Mustangs, averaging 22 points, nine assists, seven rebounds and two steals. The first-team all-state selection led Morgan Park to the IHSA state championship in class 3A, despite an injury in the semifinals that kept him out of the title game. He also helped Morgan Park to the Public League Red South title. Dosunmu shined during the summer as well, excelling at the NBPA Top 100 camp and Nike Basketball Academy and on the AAU circuit with the Mac Irvin Fire. We feel we are getting the best point guard in the country in Ayo Dosunmu, coach Brad Underwood said. He possesses a number of traits that have elevated him to elite status. He is a proven winner, a great competitor, comes from a tremendous family, is a high-character young man, and has outstanding work ethic. Along with being a perfect fit for our system and style, Ayo embraces the power of Fighting Illini basketball and joining a program with such great history and tradition. It is extremely important to him to wear the I and represent our state. Following the commitment of 2017 Illinois Mr. Basketball recipient Mark Smith just six weeks after taking over in Champaign, Underwood has made another statement on the recruiting trail by landing the top 25-ranked Dosunmu, a McDonald s All-America Game candidate and the highest-rated guard to join the Fighting Illini program since Dee Brown signed in November Game 27 Notes from Indiana A 14-0 first-half run by Indiana put the Hoosiers ahead by 12. Illinois would not go away, cutting the deficit to two points with 12 minutes remaining (49-51). The Illini then trailed by three with the ball, but a 3-pointer by Kipper Nichols with 10:25 left missed, and the Illini could draw no closer than within two possessions from that point on. The Illini shot 54.5 percent in the second half (12-22). Illinois forced the Hoosiers into 18 turnovers, but the Illini converted just nine points off those extra opportunities. Leron Black scored a game-high 20 points on 8-12 shooting, marking his career high in a Big Ten game. It was Black s fourth 20-point game of the season and fifth of his career. Kipper Nichols had 16 points (4-9 FG, 2-5 3FG) and shot a career-high nine free throws (6-9 FT). After his double figure scoring streak of eight games was snapped against Penn State, Trent Frazier was back in double digits with 12 points. Frazier also dished out a game-high five assists, his highest total in the last seven games. ILLINOIS IN THE BIG TEN RANKINGS (CONF.

Game 25 Notes from Wisconsin Trent Frazier led the Illini with a career-high 32 points, the most by a freshman in the Big Ten this season. He topped his previous high of 27 points set against Iowa on Jan. 11. Frazier s career night ranks as the No. 3 all-time scoring performance by an Illini freshman: 1. Deon Thomas 34 points vs. Wisconsin-Milwaukee Dec. 3, Kiwane Garris 33 points vs. Iowa Jan. 19, Trent Frazier 32 points vs. Wisconsin Feb. 8, 2018 Frazier became the fourth freshman from the six major conferences with a 30-point game this season, joining Trae Young of Oklahoma, Collin Sexton of Alabama and Lindell Wigginton of Iowa State. Frazier knocked down 10-of-20 from the field, and tied his career-high with seven 3-pointers in 11 attempts. His seven treys rank fifth on the Illini all-time single-game list, one shy of the school record. It is the second time this season that Frazier has made seven threes in a game (Iowa on Jan. 11). Frazier became the first Illini freshman with a 30-point game since Demetri McCamey in 2008 (31 vs. Indiana, Feb. 7, 2008). Junior Leron Black recorded his first double-double in Big Ten play and second of the season. Black tallied 13 points and tied his season high with 11 rebounds. Sophomore Te Jon Lucas tied his career high with three steals. Illinois fell for the 10th time on the season and seventh time in Big Ten play despite leading in the second half. The Illini led with 17 minutes left and the game was tied with 11 minutes remaining. Illinois got back on the offensive glass, grabbing 14 of its own misses. That was the Illini s highest total in the last five games. Game 24 Notes from No. 17 Ohio State Illinois fell for the ninth time on the season and sixth time in Big Ten play despite leading in the second half. The Illini led with under eight minutes left and with just over five minutes to play. Illinois held the Buckeyes to just 18.8 percent from 3-point range (3-16). The Illini also held OSU to just four baskets over the first 14:15 of the second half. Senior Mark Alstork shined in the return to his home state. The Dayton, Ohio product scored a season-high 19 points, hitting 6-11 shots with three rebounds and a game-high three steals. Freshman Trent Frazier scored in double figures for the seventh straight game, with 12 points. Leron Black and Kipper Nichols entered the day with a combined average of 34.3 points over the previous three games. But they were plagued by foul trouble against the Buckeyes, finishing with nine points apiece. Game 23 Notes from the Win over Rutgers The Illinois defense forced 25 Rutgers turnovers, converting those extra possessions into 37 points. It marked Illinois most points off turnovers in a game in 10 years, since scoring 37 off Chicago State on Dec. 10, ILLINI AT STATE FARM CENTER Illinois Record at State Farm Center All-Time: (.778) (.790) (.623) (.860) (.765) (.877) (.730) Longest Win Streak: 33 G (1/17/04-1/28/06) Current Win Streak: 1 G (2/18/18-) Current Big Ten Win Streak: 1 G (2/18/18-) Current Non-Conference Win Streak: 14 G (11/29/16-) Illinois 91 points were the most allowed in game this season by Rutgers.

The Illini trailed by as many as nine points (last at 29-38), recording its biggest comeback win of the season. Illinois also trailed by six at the half (32-38), posting its largest halftime comeback win of the year. Illinois quickly erased the deficit by scoring six unanswered in just 1:39 to open the second half. There was only one lead change in the game.

10 PRESEASON NOTES Underwood Era Underway First-year head coach Brad Underwood is ushering in a new era of Fighting Illini Basketball. Underwood was hired in March after leading Oklahoma State to a 20-win season and NCAA Tournament appearance. That followed a dominant run at Stephen F. Austin where he led the Lumberjacks to Southland Conference regular season and tournament titles in each of his three seasons, compiling an record and leading to three straight NCAA Tournament bids. Owning the third-most victories in NCAA history by a head coach through his first four years (109), Underwood is now employing his exciting systems of uptempo and positionless spread offense with pressure and deny defense in Champaign. Setting the Stage The Illini return just two starters and five scholarship players from last season s senior-laden team that compiled a record and advanced to the NIT Quarterfinals. In fact, Illinois returns just 30 percent of its points, 42 percent of its rebounds and 34 percent of its minutes from the season. The Orange and Blue will need to replace its graduated top-three scorers in Malcolm Hill (17.2 ppg, 5.1 rpg), Maverick Morgan (9.9 ppg, 6.3 rpg) and Tracy Abrams (8.6 ppg), along with Jalen Coleman- Lands (8.0 ppg). Black and Finke Lead Frontcourt A pair of fourth-year juniors in forwards Leron Black and Michael Finke are the Illini s top returners. Black started the final 27 games last season, ranking fourth on the team in scoring with an average of 8.1 points while leading the Illini in rebounds with 6.3 per contest (14th in Big Ten). The Memphis native recorded three double-doubles on the year including two during the NIT and scored in double figures 13 times. Always active around the basket, Black will look to increase his rebounding and scoring production this season. Finke was the UI s sixth-leading scorer a year ago at 6.9 points per game. He also led the team in 3-point shooting at 41.1 percent. A tireless worker in the weight room, Finke now carries a muscular 235-pound frame. With his shooting ability and offensive skill set, he has the chance to excel in the pinch post. Lucas Emerges at Point The Illini s lone true freshman last season, Te Jon Lucas eventually took over the reigns at the point guard position. He started the final 15 games and ended up leading the team in assists on the season (3.1 apg). Lucas is a tenacious defender who provides energy on the court. He also will be counted on to provide leadership to his teammates. Nichols and Jordan Bolster UI Depth Kipper Nichols had a number of bright spots during his shortened redshirt freshman campaign last season. He averaged 5.3 points and 3.3 rebounds during conference play, breaking out with 13 points in a home win over Michigan and scoring a career-high 16 points on 6-of-8 shooting versus Minnesota. Nichols is a strong, physical player who can guard multiple positions. Aaron Jordan had a great offseason and has worked hard to challenge for a spot in the rotation entering his junior season. Jordan has made gains in all areas of strength and conditioning and has the ability to knock down shots and defend. Grad Transfer Alstork a Proven Scorer One Illini who could help replace the loss of scoring production is senior Mark Alstork. The Wright State graduate ranked third in the Horizon League last year, averaging 19.0 points. He netted double figures in 27 of 32 games, with 17 outings of 20-plus points. He also set a school record with 176 free throws while draining 70 threepointers. While known for his scoring, Alstork will be counted on to help the Illini in all areas and has that ability as he also averaged 4.7 rebounds and 3.5 assists last season for the Raiders. Freshman Influx Added to the mix of returnees is a talented and promising five-player freshman class. Underwood s first recruit was a big one in Edwardsville s Mark Smith. The first Illinois Mr. Basketball to select the Fighting Illini since 2010, Smith averaged 21.9 points, 8.2 rebounds, 8.4 assists and 2.1 steals as a senior. Formerly a multi-sport athlete, he did not focus solely on basketball until his senior year of high school. Smith is a powerful, skilled player with multi-positional skills and strong work ethic. The Illini inked one of the top players in the state of Florida in top-100 recruit Trent Frazier. He averaged 27.6 points, 6.3 rebounds and 4.4 assists as a senior. Frazier was an electric scorer in high school, tallying a schoolrecord 52 points in a game and leaving as Wellington High s all-time leading scorer with 1,742 points in three varsity seasons. Frazier has great quickness and deep shooting range. The third guard in the recruiting class is Da Monte Williams from Peoria Manual. The son of former Illini All-American Frank Williams, Da Monte is coming off a torn ACL that abruptly cut short his senior season after three games. He averaged 15.3 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists as a junior, leading Manual to a third-place finish in state. Williams has outstanding passing ability and vision and the length and competitiveness to be a strong defender. Underwood signed two frontcourt players during the summer. Greg Eboigbodin is an athletic, 6-9 forward from Nigeria who arrived in the U.S. for high school. He attended University of Detroit Jesuit High, where he first began playing basketball. Eboigbodin improved each year and ended up averaging 13.8 points, 13.4 rebounds and 1.5 blocks while shooting 66 percent from the field as a senior. He has added 25 pounds to his frame since June while continuing to learn and grow each day. Matic Vesel is a skilled, 6-10 forward from Slovenia. He has played with the Slovenian youth national teams, participating in the FIBA U18 European Championships in 2016 and the FIBA U20 European Championships this past summer. Vesel arrived on campus in August and joined the Illini at the beginning of the fall semester. Vesel has strong fundamentals and the ability to pass and shoot. He will look to add muscle and weight while experiencing strength training for the first time. RETURNING FOR THE ILLINI IN Category Returning Lost Return Pct.

He arrives in Champaign as the third-winningest head coach in NCAA history through four seasons, totaling 109 career victories. Underwood came to Illinois from Oklahoma State, where he led OSU to a 20-win season and NCAA Tournament appearance. The Cowboys had one of the most exciting and prolific offenses in the country, ranking fifth in the NCAA in scoring (85.7 points per game) and leading the nation in adjusted offensive efficiency (kenpom). The Cowboys ranked 14th nationally in 3-point field goal percentage (.402), fourth in the country in offensive rebounding percentage (.383) and fourth in the NCAA in free throw percentage (.789). Oklahoma State finished fifth in the Big 12 with a 9-9 conference record in a season where the Big 12 was rated as the top conference in the nation. That was a dramatic improvement for the Cowboys, who went 3-15 in league play a year ago. Oklahoma State came on strong during the second half of the season, winning 10 of 11 games from Jan. 21-Feb. 25, which included a pair of five-game winning streaks. Underwood arrived in Stillwater following a dominant run at Stephen F. Austin where he led the Lumberjacks to Southland Conference regular season and tournament titles in each of his three seasons. Underwood compiled an record at SFA, tied with Brad Stevens (Butler, ) for the most wins by a head coach in his first three seasons at an NCAA school. He led SFA to a 28-6 overall record and NCAA Round of 32 appearance in The 14th-seeded Lumberjacks rolled past No. 3 West Virginia in the first round, 70-56, before narrowly missing a trip to the Sweet 16 with a defeat to No. 6 Notre Dame in the second round. That Stephen F. Austin squad was efficient on both sides of the ball, ranking 57th nationally on offense and 38th on defense. The Lumberjacks averaged 80.2 points accompanied by highpressure defense that forced the highest turnover rate in the country (.259). Underwood s second SFA team went 29-5 in 2015, also advancing to the NCAA Tournament. The Lumberjacks ranked seventh in the nation in field goal percentage (.487) and led the NCAA in assists (18.7 apg). His debut season in Nacogdoches in 2014 included a 29-game winning streak and culminated in a 32-3 record and NCAA UNDERWOOD S DIVISION I HEAD COACHING RECORD Round of 32 appearance after a victory over No. 5 seed VCU in the opening round. Underwood earned the Joe B. Hall award, given to the nation s top first-year coach. Prior to taking over at Stephen F. Austin, Underwood served the 2013 season as associate head coach at South Carolina under Frank Martin. He went to Columbia with Martin after serving on his bench for five seasons as an assistant at Kansas State, with his final season elevated to associate head coach. Underwood spent his first year at K-State in the role of director of operations for then-head coach Bob Huggins. Underwood had two head coaching stints in the junior college ranks, compiling a record in three seasons at Daytona Beach ( ) and a mark in four years at Dodge City ( ). In between those opportunities, Underwood was entrenched in the state of Illinois for 10 seasons, as an assistant coach for Jim Kerwin at Western Illinois from Underwood is a December 1986 graduate of Kansas State University. He played in Manhattan for the legendary Jack Hartman, K-State s all-time winningest coach. Former Illinois head coach Lon Kruger also played and coached for Hartman at Kansas State. Underwood began his college career at Hardin-Simmons, where he later worked as a graduate assistant. Hardin-Simmons was the first college job for Lou Henson, the Fighting Illini s all-time winningest coach, and whose name permanently adorns the court at State Farm Center. Brad and his wife, Susan, have a son, Tyler, and two daughters, Katie and Ashley. Tyler also is a member of the Fighting Illini basketball team.

Those miscues, combined with just 3-of-18 three-point shooting, kept the Illini from earning the victory. Te Jon Lucas had a career-high 14 points on 6-12 shooting. 10 of Lucas 14 points came after halftime as he made a number of driving layups through the NU defense during crunch time. Leron Black had 15 points and seven rebounds while Mark Alstork added 14 points and five boards.

UMD ILL Game 9 Recap Maryland 92, Illini 91, OT (Dec. 3) It was another heartbreaker for the Illini, with an amazing comeback falling just short of victory in a 1-point overtime loss at home to Maryland. Maryland dominated the first half, shooting 73 percent compared to the Illini at 32 percent. The Terrapins scored the game s first 10 points and rolled to a lead at the half. The second half was a complete reversal, as this time the Illini offense was on fire. Trailing by as many as 22 points, Illinois roared back behind 68 percent shooting to completely erase the deficit and take its first lead at on a Mark Alstork 3-pointer with 1:51 remaining. Illinois could not close out the victory in regulation, however, committing turnovers on five of its last six possessions. Maryland s Bruno Fernando scored on a tip-in at the buzzer to force overtime. Both offenses were on fire in the extra session, leading to a situation where whoever had the ball last would be in the best position. Illinois scored on all eight of its OT possessions, and was a perfect 5-of-5 from the field. A layup by Mark Alstork with 17 seconds remaining tied it at 91. Terps guard Anthony Cowan was then fouled on a jumper just before the buzzer, and he made the first free throw to seal the victory for the visitors. Leron Black was one of five Illini in double figures, scoring 18 points on 8-11 shooting. Alstork tied his season high with 17 points and Aaron Jordan added 15. Last FG - UMD OT-00:39, ILL OT-00:17.

Game 15 Recap Illini 62, Grand Canyon 58 (Dec. 30) Illinois rode the hot hands of Leron Black and Trent Frazier once again and Da Monte Williams knocked down a key 3-pointer to put away Grand Canyon in closing out non-conference play. The entire game was played within a margin of two possessions, with both teams excelling on the defensive end and causing problems for each other s offense. The Illini trailed by five at halftime and by four with 11 minutes left. Frazier then scored back-to-back baskets to tie it and make the game even tighter the final 9:39. Frazier broke a 54-all tie by draining a 3-pointer with 2:17 left as the shot clock expired. Following a GCU layup, the Illini worked the shot clock down again, and this time Frazier found Williams spotting up near the top of the key.

Illinois pressured the MSU guards, forcing their two points guards into a combined 12 turnovers. The Spartans had 25 turnovers overall on the night, their most in the last 12 seasons and the second Big Ten team to turn it over 25 times against the Illini defense (Maryland on Dec. 3).

The sixth-ranked Spartans set a State Farm Center record for opponent field goal percentage, hitting 30-of-44 shots for a mark of.682. Michigan State owned the glass an area that the Illini have more than held their own on the season outrebounding the Orange and Blue 37-to-15. The Illini made 54 percent of its 2s, but again struggled from behind the arc, hitting just 28.6 percent of its 3-point attempts (8-28). Sophomore Kipper Nichols had an outstanding game off the bench, scoring a game-high 27 points. Nichols made 9-of-14 shots, including a career-high five treys in eight attempts.
