Did some more digging and it looks like Illinois will face Lewis in an exhibition on nov 1st

You were right the first time. They are Division 1 Northeast Conference along with Fairleigh Dickinson, Monmouth (remember when people wanted King Rice to replace Groce :ROFLMAO:), etc

Cal State Bakersfield is a likely opponent from the Oahu Multi Team Event. Date unknown

Vs Hampton November 23rd

Waiting on one more. Will be a mid-major as part of the Maui Tournament. Interesting note, Illinois was actually looking to set up a home and home with a Power 5 team for this date, but they weren’t able to work anything out.

Based on the ticket availability I'm seeing on the United Center website, this is going to be an embarrassing turnout for Lou Henson night. I'd say 1/3 of the arena will be full at best.

Incorrect. The game will count on the W/L record, stats will count, etc. It doesn't count towards RPI and strength of schedule, but it is not the same as the EIU game or Wash U/Lewis last year.

I second this. 262-17 at Hargrave Military Academy :eek: Then brought in at Louisville as lead recruiter, where he had a ton of success. The one concern here is that he was lead recruiter during the scandal, however he was never directly linked to any wrongdoing. Then he goes to UNCW where...

Keatts, McCall, and Wade are the only three that generate any interest for me.

Expecting a loss. Not as concerned with this game as I am with the following two at home.

Happy to see them running a promotion for the Ohio State game. $50 dollars for an upper bowl seat is too much to expect people to pay but the 2 for $50 deal should make this a sell out.
