Illinois is expected to be without leading scorer Terrence Shannon on Saturday against Indiana according to a report. Stadium’s Jeff Goodman said on Twitter Shannon will not play because of a concussion he suffered against Penn State earlier this week. The 6-foot-6 Shannon is averaging 17 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists. He is the leading scorer for the Fighting Illini and scored 26 points in the first meeting with IU. He is coming off a team high 20-point performance at Penn State. Shannon’s absence will likely lead to more playing time for a trio of reserve wings. R.J. Melendez…

Indiana’s recent run of success on the hardwood has been fueled by the high-level play of Trayce Jackson-Davis and Jalen Hood-Schifino. Their production over the last six weeks has led to IU winning eight of ten games and has the Hoosiers squarely in the mix for a double-bye in the Big Ten Tournament. It has also led to a completely new NBA Draft outlook for both players. When ESPN’s Jonathan Givony published a mock draft in late December, neither of them were projected to be drafted in the 2023 NBA Draft. Both Jackson-Davis and Hood-Schifino dealt with lower back issues…

On his pre-game radio spot on Wednesday evening, IU coach Mike Woodson said Johnson is “probably another week or two” from returning. That was the first time Woodson put any kind of timeline on a possible return for his veteran floor general.…
