Slowly but surely, the Illinois basketball season is being pieced together to form one solid schedule.
With only six games on the schedule so far and a Big Ten slate to be released in the coming weeks, the Illini are looking at a tough road ahead.
The season tips off with a round-robin style tournament in Champaign where Illinois will face off against North Carolina A&T, Wright State and Ohio in a span of three days from November 25-27.
