Illinois has finished the regular season at #4 in the Big Ten, giving them a double-bye in the conference tournament. We'll be watching their first tournament game on Friday, March 13th, approximately 2:30pm, at The Junction (39th and Lexington).
We won't know our opponent until Thursday night (could be Northwestern, Minnesota, or Iowa), but that's why they call it March Madness!!!! If you aren't working on Friday, or if you are working but are able to play hooky, join us at The Junction, 329 Lexington Avenue (southeast corner of 39th St. & Lex) - close to the Grand Central stop on either the 4/5/6 or 7 trains. We'll have the game on two TVs in the back room with sound. Tipoff will be 25 minutes after the end of the early game, which starts at Noon, so could start a little before 2:30.
