John Heuser - Good evening everyone, and welcome to the live blog from Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. Both teams, Illinois and Michigan have just started their warmups. Michigan's wearing its funky blue shoes with yellow laces that the Wolverines debuted against Minnesota in the regular season finale. Let the comments begin, with about 15 minutes until tip off.

6:12	John Heuser - Believe it or not, yes! There are actually two of us here, plus a photographer.

6:12	[Comment From Rudy Hein] Is it true that Frazier won't play for IL

6:14	John Heuser - That's the truth. He's in the arena, but not visible from press row. The word is that he's already had hand surgery and is wearing a cast. He broke the hand in practice on Wednesday. Sounds like the goal for the Illini is to get him back at some point for the NCAA tourney.

6:14	[Comment From I Am King] If thats true that would be a HUGE blow for IL

6:14	John Heuser - No doubt. He's the Big Ten assist leader, and the floor leader for Illinois.

6:15	[Comment From Travis] Does anyone know where to watch the game online?

6:17	John Heuser - Just talked to our beat writer Jeff Arnold a little more about Frazier's absence, and it looks like 6-5 senior Calvin Brock will move into the starting lineup and defend Manny Harris. Senior Trent Meachem is expected to shift over to point guard.

6:17	[Comment From MHC] Or at least get the play by play? I was watching it earlier today at work, but forgot the url

6:18	John Heuser - It's a BT Network game, so they may do a live streaming video from the game. We'll try to get a better answer for you.
