Joseph Bertrand

Joseph Bertrand opened eyes with a tip-dunk off a missed jumper yesterday. He's not 100 percent, but he went through probably 75-85 percent of the drills yesterday, and he participated in all of the conditioning drills (running, sprints). So that's a positive sign, and it appears Al Martindale and the athletics training staff has done a fine job helping Joseph and his right knee get back in order after surgery.

Not certain if you'll see him playing at Illini Madness, but I think you will.
