The 6-foot-6 senior has started in 25 games this season, logging 17 points, five rebounds, three assists and 1.4 steals on 31.6 minutes per game.

Terrence Shannon - Uncertain to play MondayIllinois head coach Brad Underwood said Shannon (concussion) is day-to-day heading into Monday's game against Minnesota, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.
ImpactThough Illinois hasn't officially ruled Shannon out ahead of Monday's 9 p.m. ET opening tip, the fact that Underwood hasn't yet confirmed that the 6-foot-6 senior wing hasn't cleared the concussion protocol doesn't offer much hope that he'll be available. Assuming Shannon sits out his second game in a row, Ramses Melendez could be in store for another start on the wing.
