The non-conference schedule is almost put together.
Illinois reportedly added another game this week: a Dec. 29 matchup with Seattle, according to Rocco Miller.
The two programs have never played each other.
The Redhawks play in the West Coast Conference and rejoined Division I in 2009. They finished 21-14 last season, including an 8-10 mark in conference play.
Here’s a look at the updated non-conference slate for the Illini:
- vs Fairleigh Dickinson – Monday, November 2nd (Opening Night)
- vs Penn – Thursday, November 5th
- @ Texas Tech – Tuesday, November 10th
- vs Sam Houston State – Friday, November 13th
- @ Duke – Tuesday, November 17th
- vs Eastern Illinois – Friday, November 20th
- vs Winthrop – Monday, November 23rd
- UConn (United Center) – Friday, December 4th
- Missouri (Enterprise Center) – Sunday, December 20th
- vs Seattle – Tuesday, December 29th
- North Carolina (Bridgestone Arena) – Saturday, January 30th

As TCR’s Robby Nardini points out, there’s still one game left, and he says Underwood has hinted at a big-time matchup on Black Friday weekend.
