Illinois Men's Basketball Charity Match Set for Upcoming Season

Monday, 26 August 2024

On October 27th, the University of Illinois men's basketball team will take on Ole Miss in a pre-season exhibition match leading up to next season.

The Fighting Illini will travel to Oxford, Mississippi for the game.

Proceeds from the event will go towards benefiting CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) of North Mississippi.

This isn't the first time the Orange and Blue have done charity events like this.

Last year the Illini defeated No. 1 ranked Kansas at State Farm Center, an event that raised about $825,000 in charity.

The Ole Miss Rebels will be the first of 5 SEC matchups the Fighting Illini will go up against this year.
