The Fighting Illini are headed to the United Center.
Illinois and Alabama men’s basketball have finalized a game at the home of the Chicago Bulls for Wednesday, Nov. 19. This is the return game from last season’s 100-87 victory by the Crimson Tide in Birmingham.
These two programs were NCAA Tournament teams this past March with Alabama making the Elite Eight, while Illinois advanced to the second round.
Illinois is 38-18 in 56 total games at the United Center, including a 18-8 record against non-conference opponents. The Illini, who last played at the United Center in 2023 for the Big Ten Conference Tournament, had played at the United Center in at least one regular season game from 1994 to 2018.
Ticket sales information will be released when available.
