Illini follow NCAA tournament from afar

This isn't where the Illinois players want to be, playing in the NIT. It was NCAA tournament-or-bust for these guys. Truth is, with their spring break starting today, some of them would rather be on a beach somewhere than preparing for Kent State's visit Monday. That's just the way it is.

Illinois basketball player Alex Legion has been arrested for driving on a suspended license.

The transfer from Kentucky was pulled over on Monday at Fifth and Green in Champaign, according to the report. Legion must appear in court May 4.

An Illinois spokesman said the suspended license was due to a previous driving offense in Michigan.

Bruce Weber wasn't expected to comment on the matter.

Legion appeared in 22 games in his first season at Illinois, averaging 3.5 points and 1.5 rebounds in a reserve role.
