Greetings from courtside at State Farm Center as the No. 15 Illinois Fighting Illini are set to host No. 22 Ohio State. Big Ten Player of the Year candidate, E.J. Liddell is questionable tonight for the Buckeyes as he is fighting the flu. If Liddell is unable to go for Ohio State, expect senior Kyle Young to play a greater role along with a need for added production from sophomore Zed Key. Adam Jardy is reporting that Liddell began experiencing symptoms in the Buckeye's most recent game against Indiana, a win over the Hoosiers. Illinois will be without freshman RJ Melendez tonight as he recovers from successful surgery on his appendix. Jacob Grandison is hoping to continue his hot shooting from the Illini's last game at Michigan State on Sunday when he made 6-of-10 from three-point land. The Illini will likely need a quality effort from Grandison and Luke Goode to replace Melendez. Goode didn't play for the Illini on the road against Michigan State.
