Kasparas Jakucionis is dealing with adversity on the court for the first time in his college career.The talented freshman for No. 23 Illinois has finished with single-digit point totals in back-to-back games for the first time this season. He has missed 12 of his past 16 shots from the field and is 0-for-7 from beyond the arc during that time.Jakucionis will look to get back on track when Illinois (15-8, 7-6 Big Ten) takes on Minnesota (12-11, 4-8) in a conference clash on Saturday in Minneapolis.”He’s a hundred percent (healthy),” Illinois coach Brad Underwood said. “He’s top of the scouting report, and he’s going through a moment. Everybody goes through it, and he’s got to keep fighting his way out of it. We’re going to keep supporting him.”He’s one of the best players in the country, and he’ll be fine. He’ll get his opportunities.”The Fighting Illini have slumped alongside their standout freshman, who is projected to be a lottery pick in this summer’s NBA draft. Illinois is coming off an 82-73 loss Wednesday at Rutgers, which marked the team’s fourth loss in the past six games.Turnovers have plagued the star player and the team. Jakucionis has committed 23 turnovers in his past five games.Underwood reiterated that there was plenty of time for everyone to get back on track.”I like his aggressive plays,” Underwood said. “He’s going to have some of those (turnovers). I don’t want him thinking about them. He’s a good enough player that he shouldn’t dribble off his foot, he shouldn’t lose the ball. Those are mental carelessness mistakes.”But I don’t worry about them too much. I really don’t.”Minnesota hopes to knock off a ranked opponent on its home court for the third time this season. The Golden Gophers beat then-No. 20 Michigan 84-81 in overtime on Jan. 16, and they outlasted then-No. 15 Oregon 77-69 on Jan. 25.
