This should be fun.
After becoming just the second No. 16 seed to ever knock off a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament, the FDU Knights are bringing the show to Champaign this December for a 2005 Round of 64 rematch with Illinois.
Source: Illinois will host FDU on December 29th as part of its 2023-24 non-conference schedule.
