Illinois basketball team faced a challenging situation after their game against the 11th-ranked Wisconsin Badgers on Tuesday night. Despite their loss, Illinois declined to participate in a postgame handshake to prevent the potential spread of a virus among players.
Illinois coach Brad Underwood expressed concern for his team's health, stating that in his 38 years of coaching, he had never seen anything like the current situation affecting the team. The team's leading rebounder and second-leading scorer, Tomislav Ivisic, played while sick, contributing seven points and three rebounds in the game.
