Jeff Jordan gets scholarship from Illini (AP) (sports.yahoo.com)

Jeff Jordan is beginning to prove that basketball ability really does run in the family. Michael Jordan's son walked on at Illinois last year, but coach Bruce Weber said Thursday that the sophomore guard has earned a scholarship. Jordan is averaging almost 10 minutes a game off the bench for No. 25 Illinois (16-3), which is enjoying a remarkable turnaround after going 16-19 last season.
