Chester Frazier speaks

Frazier will see a doctor Tuesday morning to learn how much healing has occurred underneath his cast -- while Illinois' medical team has been trying to figure out what kind of padded glove it can rig up to protect the unspecified injury.

"This team needs me, so I'm going to try my best to get back on the court," Frazier said. "I was hoping for Friday-Sunday, but one day doesn't make too much of a difference."
