How big of a deal is Illinois volleyball these days? Well, WDWS' coverage is getting supersized for tonight's NCAA match.
The Illini host Eastern Michigan at 7 p.m. in Huff Hall. WDWS will have its usual edition of "SportsTalk" with SCOTT BEATTY starting at 5. At 6, volleyball becomes the focus on the station.
"We're going to have an extended pregame," said DAVE LOANE, the Voice of Illinois Volleyball for 31 seasons.
Beatty will continue hosting from the WDWS studio in downtown Champaign, with live drop-ins from Loane, N-G volleyball beat writer SCOTT RICHEY and columnist LOREN TATE at Huff.
