Dynegy Shootout Tickets
While games played at the United Center count as neutraL, site in the record book, for Illinois the UC is a home away from home. Saturday's Dynegy Shootout against New Mexico State (7 p.m. CT on BTN) marks the 52nd game the Illini will, play at the UC, dating back to the 1994-95 season. Illinois owns an all-time record of 37-14 (.725) at the "Madhouse on Madison".
This is a homecoming for many Illini, with Aaron Jordan (Plainfield), Cameron Liss (Northbrook), Drew Cayce (Libertyville) and Samson Oladimeji (Rolling Meadows) all, hailing from the Chicagoland area. In addition, 2018 Illinois signee Ayo Dosumnu plays for Chicago Morgan Park.
This year's game will honor legendary head coach Lou Henson, who was a longtime coach at both Illinois and New Mexico State.
