l be a challenging one for new coach John Groce and his rebuilding roster.
The nonconference schedule will be highlighted by trips to the Maui Invitational and Gonzaga, an ACC/Big Ten Challenge meeting with Georgia Tech in Champaign, the annual Braggin' Rights showdown with Missouri in St. Louis and Auburn at the United Center.
The Illini will begin Big Ten play at Purdue on Jan. 2 and finish at Ohio State on March 10. Their home single-play opponents are Indiana and Penn State. They will travel to Michigan State and Iowa for their only meetings with those schools.
``Our team will be tested early and often,'' Illinois head coach John Groce said. ``Our nonconference includes every situation imaginable. The journeys of November and December give us the opportunity to be prepared for an extremely competitive Big Ten race. There have been as many as six teams ranked in various preseason polls. With the tremendous players, coaches and home court environments in this league, we'll be challenged at the highest level throughout the conference season.''
