Illini Head to EIU Friday for Charity Exhibition

Illinois at EIU » Listen | Live Stats | Donate to Red Cross

First-year Illinois head coach Brad Underwood will take his Fighting Illini squad on the road to Charleston, Illinois on Friday, November 3, facing Eastern Illinois in an exhibition game to benefit disaster relief efforts. The game will be played at 7 p.m. at Lantz Arena and is sold out. 

The game can be heard on the WDWS radio or online at FightingIllini.com or TuneIn online radio. There will not be television coverage or a video stream of the game. 

The NCAA has granted Division I college basketball programs a waiver to participate in a third exhibition game if proceeds go toward pre-determined disaster relief. Proceeds from this game will go to the American Red Cross.

This will mark the first time in school history that the Illini will play a men's basketball game at Eastern Illinois.
