Illinois’ Jake Davis Injury Update Not Ideal After 75-Point Win

The hope for Illinois would be that a 75-point win would be the only thing to talk about after Monday’s season-opening clash with Fairleigh Dickinson. But although the scoreboard read 120-45, Illinois had a concern: Jake Davis, who was injured in the first half and did not return. Davis, who started the majority of games last year for Illinois, is expected to be an every-night starter this season. That would be foiled quickly if Davis is forced to miss time with his injury.
