Notre Dame (4-2) at Illinois (3-4) — 8:15 p.m. ESPN2
Good evening from the renovated State Farm Center for tonight’s reopening of the building, which looks fantastic! I believe many of you who come in here for the first time will be pleased with what you see. I’m excited to see what the atmosphere is going to be here with the students around the court and so close to it.
Tonight is also a big night for legendary coach Lou Henson, who is having the court officially dedicated in his honor. His signature and the orange blazer logo are down on the court and Henson and wife Mary will be honored here tonight at halftime.
