Good evening everybody. It's finally that time. While I contend it's never not basketball season — it truly has become a 24/7/365 sport — it's hard to argue that point now. Illinois is exactly one hour from tipoff at State Farm Center.
It's basketball season!
It's HERE!
#Illini vs. IWU (Exh.)
FRI | 7 pm CT

Of course, tonight's game is more the unofficial start of the 2018-19 season. After all, it's only an exhibition game against Division III Illinois Wesleyan.
