What do we have so far non-con....MSU, VCU, ISU. We will get a bbuster home game also correct. IF we are as good as we all hope ...should be a decent opponent.

No word on any thanksgiving tournament yet either that I have heard.

Anything else.....?

I'm pretty sure we have a road game at Butler as the beginning of a four year series. I think Wright St. might already be on the schedule again, as well?

I wonder if we can go out and get a marquee road game. This might be the one year to take a buy deal to get national exposure, since I'm foreseeing most people putting us 2nd in the Valley, and in the NCAAs to start the year.

That and a couple of cupcakes (everyone always needs a couple of cupcakes) and the sked looks fine to me.
Although, of course, we should swindle for a home-and-home first

I agree AS. If no chance with Home-and-Home with anyone, I'd settle for a buy game at UIUC.

Dog, it looks like I'll get to see some good non-conference games before I head West in December. Boy, do I miss BU basketball when I'm gone.

Yes, Chico we know you miss BU Basketball but isn't love grand.

Bruce wants nothing to do with any upper-echelon MVC team, even at the Assembly Hall. Especially BU or SIU. He can't take an in-state loss.

And even if he would schedule a team he would most definately pick SIU over playing us again.

I thought (according to some online Illini fans) the door is ALWAYS open at UIUC for any in-state team to play 1 game at Assembly Hall.

But you are right BB - and BAM's seat would definitely heat up if BU or SIU went in and handed their arse to 'em

It's a load of BS. They would have never played BU when we had POB and Sommerville, and after the scare we gave them last year (we put them in the tournament by losing to them), they want nothing to do with us on any court anytime soon.

[TheAsianSensation]

If you're Illinois, would you want to play us?

Nope. Let them be.
