Game Preview: Illinois Fighting Illini vs. South Dakota Coyotes

On Saturday, Illinois plays host to a South Dakota team that beat Minnesota earlier in the season.

Illinois returns to its home court at the State Farm Center after a week of final exams for a showdown with the South Dakota Coyotes. Illinois' last contest, a matchup against UIC at the United Center, may feel like a long time ago as the Illini have had the entire week away from the court.
