Yes, the Illini do practice against zone defenses

Thus, the Illini have suffered consecutive home losses at a time when they desperately need wins for their NCAA Tournament resume.
Whether it's a 1-3-1, a 2-3 or a 3-2, it just doesn't add up for the Illini.
"They went 3-2 to a 2-3 and basically it's been 80 percent of our practice the last couple of days," Weber said. "We don't get enough inside touches. We're not a great passing team and against a zone you have to pass the ball. You have to make reads, and when you don't shoot the ball well from 3 it makes it difficult."
