* Illinois Men’s Basketball Injury List: Backup center Marcus
Allen has joined other victims of the Illini injury list. It was
announced Marcus Allen broke his nose in the first half of
Wednesday night’s game. He’ll be out a while because of the
severe pain. Starting point guard Chester Frazier is still
limping after a groin injury suffered in the above game. Chester
Frazier is on the wait-and-see list for Saturday’s upcoming game.
=======================
* Wisconsin men’s basketball rolls into Evanston Illinois to play
Northwestern. Enjoying a highly successful season the Wisconsin
Badgers have a 12 game winning streak going and are rank No 3
in the nation. Northwestern coach Bill Carmody said, ‘I don’t
think it matters to us who we play. We’re not playing well, not
rebounding, so it doesn’t matter who we play. We have to worry
about ourselves.’ Wisconsin is 16-2 overall and 2-0 in the Big Ten.
Northwestern is 10-6, 0-3 in the Big 10.
The NU Wildcats must find a way to stop Alando Tucker, who’s
averaging 20 points per game. Brian Butch, a 6 ft 11 inch
power-packed center, has played a major role in the success of
Wisconsin this season. Brian Butch has muscled in 10 points per
game and pulled in a solid 6.4 rebounds per game.
NU Senior forward Tim Doyle seemed to disagree, ‘I’d rather
play them later in the year, but that’s the way the schedule is.
We’re playing so many young players right now every Big Ten
game is an adjustment.’ Two freshmen are vying for the starting
role in the other forward spot. Last week’s starting freshman
forward Kevin Coble turned an ankle in Wednesday’s game and
may not be ready for Saturday’s against Wisconsin. If not, Jeff
Ryan, a 6 ft, 6 inch, freshman from Glenbrook South High School not
far from Evanston, is slated to make his first start of the
2006-2007 season. Center Vince Scott is the only Northwestern
player averaging in double numbers, 10.0 ppg.

2006-2007 Illinois
In 2005-2006 the Illini went 26-7 overall
Illinois 2006-2007 Preseason Preview
Coach Bruce Weber is counting on his squad to reach the
top of the ladder in Big Ten competition. Last year’s squad
went 26-7 overall and 11-5 in Big Ten play.
The Illini have two very high rated guards, senior Rich McBride
and junior Chester Frazier. Both are extremely quick and capable
of supplying points on offense and can harass opponents on
defense. Forward Shaun Pruitt and Warren Carter are slated to
provide some quality rebounding and are highly regarded for
their shooting abilities. 6 ft 11 inch, freshman center Brian
Carwell, Proviso East in Maywood IL, is highly rated but
remains a question mark until he acquires some experience.
Illinois Coach Bruce Weber said this, ‘I think Warren Carter
is the key to our team, He’s talented enough to be a
difference-maker, but does he have that inner fire? We’ll see.’
The following list of Illinois Basketball Players is from Big Ten
