NORMAL — Illinois State's basketball season is still scheduled to start in a Big Ten Conference location.
It just won't be in Lincoln, Nebraska.
Illinois State head coach Dan Muller confirmed Monday morning the Redbirds will play Ohio State to open the season on Nov. 25 at Value City Arena in Columbus. That was first reported by buckeyextra.com.
ISU was set to play in the Golden Window Classic in Lincoln on Nov. 25-29. Matt Norlander of CBS Sports reported late last week the Redbirds had pulled out of that multi-team event.
