Wisconsin Bolsters Resume With Overtime Win at No. 8 Illinois

Slated for doctor's visit this week Boswell (hand) is slated for a doctor's appointment this week and has a shot to return Sunday, per Scott Richey of The Champaign News-Gazette.

Impact Boswell was practicing without contact as of last week, and he appears to be trending closer and closer towards a return as he's slated for a doctor's visit this week after Illinois' clash with Wisconsin. There's a chance the guard, who's missed six straight games, could potentially return as early as Sunday against Indiana.

Should return in around three weeks Boswell (hand) is expected to be sidelined between three and four weeks, head coach Brad Underwood told Jeremy Werner of 247Sports.com.

Impact Boswell fractured his hand in practice when he collided with another player, and after undergoing surgery, he'll have his hand pinned and plated. Underwood's timeline suggests the star guard will return around mid-February. Losing Boswell is a huge blow for Illinois, as he's averaging 14.3 points, 4.2 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game while starting in each of his 18 appearances.

Fractures hand, out until February Boswell fractured his right hand and is expected to return to action in mid-February, per Joey Wagner of 247Sports.com.

Impact It's not clear how the Illini starting point guard fractured his hand -- in practice, in a game or otherwise -- but he'll be sidelined for a significant amount of time. This is a serious blow to Illinois, as the senior was in the midst of a career year, averaging 14.3 points, 4.2 rebounds and 3.4 assists as an every-game starter. In his stead, Mihailo Petrovic and a few others should see their minutes spike.

Balanced output in win Boswell logged nine points (4-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt), five rebounds and five assists across 30 minutes during Thursday's 81-55 victory over Rutgers.

Impact Boswell was a factor as a scorer, as a passer and on the glass, as the senior point guard has done all season. After he hit double-digits in nine of the first eleven games of the season, his scoring has dipped a bit, as he's hit double figures just once in the past four games. Still, Boswell is averaging a career-best 14.5 points while shooting 47.0 percent from the field; there's no reason to worry yet about his quieter recent stretch.

Nebraska Hits Game-Winner vs. Illinois, Improves to 11-0 For 1st Time In History

Held in check by Buckeyes Boswell totaled four points (1-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and one assist in 31 minutes during Tuesday's 88-80 win over Ohio State.

Impact Boswell's four points were his lowest mark on the season, and a real outlier for the guard who averaged 17.0 points heading into the showdown with Ohio State. He was cold from the field, hitting just 25 percent of his shots. Still, his four shots were also season low, he's usually much more assertive, as he came into the night averaging 11.4 shots per game. Again, this looks like an outlier for the starting point guard.
