ESPN's Andy Katz said Illinois State will play at Kentucky on Nov. 30.


per Jim Benson tweet


If Lynch were still there I would actually like ISUr's chances in that one. UK is going to be very average next year and is already being severely overrated. November would be a great time for ISUr to make a big splash by beating UK. As it stands now, ISUr will have a shot in that game, but not a great one. Just keep it respectable and it's a good game to have on the schedule.

Extremely solid schedule by ISUr. Hopefully they can rack up some wins. I hope Redbird fans bring their A-game in the non-con, cause the team is probably going to need to go undefeated at home and hope (with reasonable chances) to pick up a couple big/name wins away from home.

Great Job Birds!

That's a really good schedule. Its nice that the top 3 teams in the league are also going to play easily the top 3 non-con schedules. That's great for the league.

Win one or two of those big noncon games and it's going to be a very fun season, for everyone in the league: IlSt fans, WSU fans to have competition, and MVC fans in general to see some competition.

Do you think the game was scheduled in Cedar Fall this season specifically so Marcus Paige could play close to his hometown?

That's exactly why.

It's why the played at Evansville a couple years ago.

Roy Williams tends to do things like this for his seniors
