No issues with Big+, announcers talk a lot of SCHMACK! Can listen to to the game on WDWS thru the internet. At least usually. Not getting any radio reception in MA.

GO ILLINI!

Any official injury reports?
Dan usually has a radio link in the game thread (and front page) you can use to stream audio.

Trying to justify if its worth it to spend $9.99 for the monthly B1G+ school pass to watch this single game...anyone else considering this?

I'm in the same boat. I'm already doing the YTV thing to watch the rest of our games this year. Given the opponent and the lingering impact of injuries on tonight's roster, I am leaning toward just listening to this one on the radio.

It covers more than one game actually...and it's less than 2 of your favorite weird $tarbuck$ drinks.

It's actually 2 games. This one and the Rio Grande Valley game are on + this month. You can get 2 games for 9.99 then cancel after the 2nd game.

The radio site Dan posts never works for me (my security/privacy software goes nuts). Here are some alternatives. One, or both, usually have the game.

WDWS - 1400 AM
Illinois Basketball Radio

Listening is nowhere near as good was watching. I listened to the exhibition games and then watched their highlights on YouTube. There were very extensive "highlights" of one game. I would not have believed they were the same game.

Since we’re getting technical ;) you can still actually watch all 4 games. I just double checked and you can watch the two exhibition games already played. I filtered on the game dates (10/23 and 10/29) to locate them in the BTN+ iOS app.

I live just north of Sturgis Michigan and was concerned about receiving audio. Turns out that all I need to do is say to my smart speaker "HEY GOOGLE PLAY WLS RADIO".

I’m driving from Chicago to Bloomington this evening. Is there a radio station I can pick up the game on?

Yes, I am as well. Is there another BIG+ game within the next month?

You can literally sign up-pay- and cancel within one minute so you don't have to worry about canceling after the 2nd game.

Man I'm an easy sell....I went ahead and did it. As a bonus you get to lead in with the Illini VB game beforehand

I’m astonished how quickly Illini nation panics. Yes, we have 4 impact players currently out. However, my guess is that every other player on our roster is rated well above the players on the ASU roster. Brad and Co. will implement a game plan that likely will result in an Illini +15 point victory, if not more. The minutes those playing is actually a huge opportunity for development not otherwise afforded. Could we get upset? Sure. Likelihood is perhaps 1% - 3% chance.
Breathe. Breathe. Gonna be ok….
