Tickets question for all of you big donors. I bought season tickets again this year. Will all ticket holders get a chance to buy tickets for the special games like Duke? How will these work or will we have to go thru Duke ticket office

I am a season ticket holder but not a big donor and I was able to buy tickets through the Illinois ticket office for the United Center Alabama game last year. I assume I will be able to buy tickets to special games this year. My only concern is the Duke game because this is a home game for them so I do not think tickets will be available.

Mirkovic:

“Mirković was one of my favorite players in the country last season and one of the best freshmen who did not declare for the draft. I’m expecting the Illini to run even more of their offense through the multi-skilled four-man who has tremendous dribble, pass and shoot skills at his size. He averaged over 13 points and eight rebounds per game while also dishing out 2.6 assists. He drilled 38 percent of his four 3-point attempts per game, too, and I think he has room for growth as he gets more comfortable with the speed of the game.

Mirković’s athleticism and defensive play will certainly create concern among NBA teams, but I think he’s too talented not to make it at some point. I’m expecting a first-team All-Big Ten season for the Montenegrin forward.”

Kooleymon:

“It surprised me that it took so long for Coleman to spike up the recruiting rankings. He was largely considered a solid four-star, top-100 prospect in his class up until the last three months, when he rose into the consensus top-20.

Coleman is a great shooter from distance who won all-tournament honors at the Under-18 FIBA AmeriCup tournament in Mexico. He plays hard, crashing the glass with impunity. His frame is also filling out, allowing him to absorb contact better on his drives. He knocks down shots off the catch and off pull-up situations and has shown he can play both on and off the ball. He’ll be a tremendous fit in Illinois’ scheme next season, partially replacing what Keaton Wagler brought to the fold.“
