Impact Cockburn was limited to just 12 points in Thursday's loss to Ohio State, but he shot 73.3 percent from the floor Sunday and scored 20-plus points for the third time in the last four games. He's averaged 21.5 points and 7.3 rebounds in 30.3 minutes per game across that span.

Benjamin Bosmans-Verdonk - Remains out Sunday Bosmans-Verdonk (concussion) won't play Sunday against Michigan, Joey Wagner of 247Sports reports.
Impact Bosmans-Verdonk will miss a second straight contest after suffering a concussion during a Feb. 19 win over Michigan State. He played just 12 total minutes over his previous four appearances before suffering the injury, so his absence shouldn't impact Illinois' rotation.

RJ Melendez - Effective against Northwestern Melendez contributed 14 points (3-4 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, one block and two steals over 17 minutes during Sunday's 73-66 win over Northwestern.
Impact Melendez was efficient from the floor during Sunday's matchup and was also perfect in his six trips to the charity stripe to score in double figures for the first time in his collegiate career. While Sunday's performance was encouraging, the freshman has been on the fringes of the team's rotation for most of the year.
