Game Preview

For four years as Southern Illinois teammates, the only time Marcus Domask and Lance Jones faced each other was during the Salukis’ practices. The stakes will be considerably higher for their next battle.

Domask and No. 9 Illinois (11-2, 2-0) will be at sold-out Mackey Arena Friday night trying to knock off Jones and top-ranked Purdue (13-1, 2-1) in a battle for Big Ten supremacy. Both teams have benefited greatly from their grad transfers who stacked up all-league accolades while playing together in the Missouri Valley.

Domask, who lit up Northwestern for 32 points, six assists and five rebounds Tuesday night, enters the game averaging 13.2 points, 4.6 rebounds and a team-high 3.1 assists. The 6-foot-6 Domask has given Illinois’ offense a new dimension over the last month with a powerful frame and the handle to back smaller guards into the post and either create shots for himself or find open teammates on the 3-point arc.
