Here are some quick updates on Illini basketball prior to the Indiana game tomorrow night:
-Mike Tisdale is gaining weight, reaching 230 pounds in a recent weigh-in. It is unusual for basketball players to gain weight during the season, but eating lots of calories and watching his teammates from the bench has worked well for Mike this year.
-Bill Cole had a MRI yesterday for a possible stress fracture in his leg. No word yet on his condition, but he could be out for the rest of the season.
-Rich Semrau was injured in practice this week. He sprained his medial collateral ligament and will be out for 2-3 weeks.
-The Illini are thinking they might qualify for the new CBI post season tourney or make a run in the Big 10 tourney to reach the NCAAs. It's still early, but they really need to get back to playing .500 basketball for the year to have much of a chance. More details in this article.
-There are rumors about one of the Illini big men considering a transfer after the season is over. Not sure if this is true, but it could make sense given the incoming recruits like Simpson and the number of bigs on the roster.
