I don't think they would host one even if the renovation was finished.
My immediate thought is make the tournament and then we can talk about some event like that.
Coming of historically bad attendance is not the time to host one if those events
Hmm. Are they having a problem filling Krush this year?
Sure looks like it, but I wouldn't make much of it though --the SFC expands Krush from 700 to 1200, at least according to the renovation website. So even if they've got a lot more interest, they made need to stretch this year.

Street Jam 3 years ago was a failure.

They have done this every year for at least the last 5 years

The good news for Illinois hoops fans. The injury list is just at one right now: Jalen Coleman-Lands is out for a few more weeks - healing a broken hand, John Groce told ESPN. This is a program ravaged by injuries and off-court issues, but can be dangerous this season -- if the Illini stay healthy. Tracy Abrams and Mike Thorne both back. Obviously it's a big year for Groce.

So it's about the same as the "once in a lifetime sales event" they have down at the local furniture store every year on President's Day?
Yeah it was a decent idea but really was not that great. I will always want it to be in Huff even though it can't hold basketball anymore. That said I did truly enjoy the open practice in '14 and poster signing. It was so cool being that close to an open practice and scrimmage.

Any word yet on Illini All-In Scrimmage? I loved that event.

Hill slotted in at #5 according to BIG10 Powerhouse. Definitely accurate summary and projection for this season, but little do they know he ain't the same athlete no more :thumb:

If we get solid (average) PG play then I don't think that is greedy at all. Although, I don't really count on tournament wins. The tournament is all about matchups.

It looks like espn is actually acknowledging our injury struggles last season. Maybe, just maybe, people (pundits) will understand how tough we had it last year.

No, two regular exhibition games. Closed-door scrimmages count as exhibition games, but there is not one this year.

What's Leron Black's status? Is he playing?
He has to serve his suspension, but if you mean if he has recovered from injuries, the answer is yes.

How long is the suspension? Forgive me for not knowing this info. Thanks.
Two exhibition games and four regular-season games.
