Hall schedule posted
Sports & Leisure August 21st, 2005
I’m not sure why Wally or Josh haven’t posted this first, but DIA released the 2005-06 Men’s Illini basketball schedule (FightingIllini.com link.) I’ll echo a few others criticisms that the pre-season games at the Assembly Hall are lacking. There isn’t a Duke or Wake Forest to get us pumped up early like we’ve had in the last few years. Oregon will be fun, but Georgetown just doesn’t scare me. Arkansas-Little Rock will be tough.
Not that I would trade in my season tickets or anything. Only one stab at Wisconsin this year, and it’s on the road on a weekday (boo. One of these years I’ll make it up there for a weekend Illini basketball game.) We get Iowa away and at home, for our home closer/senior night.
Now, I know we’re two weeks away from football, and I’m looking forward to a fresh start there. But part of me knows basketball is only a few months away, and that makes me pumped!
