The full schedule for the Illinois basketball team was released on Wednesday, and the road to the national title looks tough.
Before Wednesday, there were only six games scheduled. Illinois is set to host a round-robin tournament with North Carolina A&T, Wright State and Ohio to start the season. After this cakewalk beginning, things really start to heat up for the Orange and Blue.
