consulted with HCBB about this.

I recall RZ irate with FURG over scheduling Missouri in St. Louis and leaving Illinois with just 6 home games.

BEAT NEBRASKA.

Social Misfit who wants to coach Illinois women's basketball.

- Other than our fans getting to see us play at a historic venue and… - OB25 November 3, 2026, 12:23:16
  - Definitely take that over the Mizzou game. Big Ten plus ND is a difficult grind for any program.* - gullit November 3, 2026, 12:41:02
  - Agreed. We’ll most likely lose both, but there’s more to gain from beating perpetually - voiceofreason November 3, 2026, 12:30:15
