ROSEMONT, IL (WTVB) – The Big Ten suspended Illinois guard Alan Griffin two games Thursday for stepping on Purdue’s Sasha Stefanovic. Griffin was called for a flagrant foul 2 and ejected with 12:21 left in the first half Tuesday at Purdue when he stomped on Stefanovic’s midsection after the guard drove for a layup and drew a crescendo of boos.
#21 Illinois went on to win 79-62.
Griffin will miss games against Michigan on Saturday and Minnesota on Jan. 30.
He apologized Wednesday to Stefanovic and Purdue as well as Illinois and its fans on social media.
