With Tomislav Ivisic (@TIvisic) sidelined, Zvonimir Ivisic (@zvonimir_ivisic) more than fills the void with near triple-double in @IlliniMBB's 113-70 win against @FGCU_MBB on Friday night. Story from #Illini beat writer @srrichey: news-gazette.com/sports/one-…

No Tomislav Ivisic will probably mean more Jason Jakstys tonight against Florida Gulf Coast. #Illini

What I didn’t notice until he stood up was Brandon Lee had a boot on his left foot and is on crutches. So that’s notable. #Illini
Brandon Lee was technically the first #Illini player out to the court area, but Andrej Stojakovic is the first to get some shots up.
