Illinois Basketball: Illini’s Non-Conference Schedule Reviewed: Part 1 of 3

The Illini play two exhibition games before regular season play.

On October 30, the Illini play Washington University out of St. Louis. I think we all know Whitman had a big influence on that, seeing that he was AD there before Illinois hired him. Next, the Illini play Lewis University on November 4.

Illinois finally starts regular season play on November 11 against Southwest Missouri State. This is the first of fourteen non-conference games.

While the Illini don’t need to run the table in these games, they need to get pretty darn close to that.

On December 27 the Illini will face Maryland in the first of eighteen B1G conference games.
