Is Illinois the only B1G school that sits out players with concussions or is Illinois the only B1G school with players getting concussed?

I watched the St Anne game before Porta played game 2 in Champaign and Sikma broke the rebound record with 24 which was broke the next game by Kevin Washington with 27. Sikma chose to stay small school but he could have done well at Illinois.
OSU has 4 games in 8 days the last week, really hard to win out. They will have 7 loses by the end of the season.

Okay, serious griping time...
Why is it not "Paint the Hall Orange!?!?!?"
Why is it not "Paint the Hall Orange!?!?!?"
Presumably because it would now have to be “Paint the Farm Orange.” But EVERY game should be an orange out or Paint the Farm or Paint the Hall or whatever orange.

I would be fine with that.
Have heard from a reliable source that the coaching staff is rethinking their "head first" box out and defensive positioning techniques
We have historically been really good about injuries in Underwood's tenure. Unless we made a significant change to our techniques in the off season, I would bet this injury bug is mostly bad luck as opposed to being technique related.

Marble jr. jumped up and over BBV swinging his arm and hand directly into BBV's face ........should have been a Flagrant 1............................jmho
OSU plays at a pretty slow pace. And they are playing even slower on the road. They will try to make it a half court game, keep the crowd out of it, and feed Liddell as much as possible. Just don't let anyone else go off and we should be good. Trent should be able to make it tough on Branham. I'm a little worried about Plummer guarding Wheeler though.
Made my day!
Eh. Gotta disagree, Pru. It was incidental with two large humans going for the ball. No call was the right call.
Wheeler or Russell.
Might be a good time to insert RJ and AC any time they are successful at slowing the pace AND being more successful at that than us.

Hey that's cool, but the whole deal about the flagrant foul thing was any contact to the head
Intent was not to be factored in
I just gave my opinion
Doesn't matter now but that's a pretty nasty shiner that BBV has along with a concussion for it to be incidental contact
Incidental is getting harder and harder these days

Does anyone have a clip of the play? At the time, I thought it was just a finger to the eye or even a contact issue.

Tracey Anderson / Kevin Washington......?
And I offered a different opinion to yours.
I’m trying to find a replay of the hit, but I thought live Marble’s finger got BBV across the face.
Hopefully BBV isn’t out long.
Not just a fan, his dad played tennis for the Illini. Such a huge miss!I wasn't aware that Hummel was an Illini fan growing up at all (good lord as if my memories of Bruce Weber being our head coach weren't bad enough smdh)
and grandpa was a Prof here.
Looks like his mandible is receiving more contact, to me.
