Illinois’s Alex Legion had just elbowed Novak above his left eye while the two battled for a rebound midway through the second half at Crisler Arena on Jan. 4. Novak, leaving behind a trail of blood, was escorted to the Michigan dressing room, while holding a towel to a gash above his left eye. His return to the game looked doubtful.
