CHAMPAIGN — It didn’t take long for No. 8 Illinois to find a replacement for Wright State in next week’s multi-team event. The Raiders pulled out of the four-team MTE on Friday afternoon because of COVID-19 related issues, and Chicago State was added as their replacement before noon Saturday.
The schedule for the round-robin event remains the same. Illinois will face North Carolina A&T at 1 p.m. on Nov. 25, play Chicago State at 11 a.m. on Nov. 26 (Thanksgiving Day) and finish the week with a noon game against Ohio on Nov. 27. All three of the Illini’s game will be broadcast on BTN.
Chicago State is coming off a 4-25 season in 2019-20. The Cougars beat just a single Division I team — an 89-81 road win at SIU Edwardsville. Chicago State coach Lance Irvin is 7-54 in two seasons.
