Illinois Basketball Official Visit Preview

There’s been a ton of great content put up this week by our staff previewing the Illinois vs. Penn State football game. The Friday Night Big Ten opener will be played in primetime on national television.

However, that game is merely a side dish to the main entree of the weekend: Hoops ‘Crootin.

Brad Underwood and his staff are hosting three of its highest rated targets this weekend. Oscar Tshiebwe, EJ Liddell and Terrence Shannon Jr. will all be arriving in Champaign Friday to attend the game and to spend the weekend in Champaign.

As has become tradition, the staff will be opening up the doors to Ubben prior to the game at 3 p.m. on Friday, as well as 11 a.m. on Saturday morning.
