I was surprised it was not on TV. Not ESPN3 or Big Ten Network. Nice win though for Driscoll and his team. This season could be even better for UNF.

it was on BTN Express it turns out. This is the internet streaming version of the normal Big Ten Network.

i finally found the one sole camera up above section 114 just before halftime.

Because illinois' arena (State Farm Center) is still not finished its refurbishment yet, they pulled the entire floor and moved it to the Prairie Capital Convention Center to play on. Since the PC3 was built in 1976, its pretty ancient as basketball arenas go. Honestly, the game was sort of a throwback, school band instead of loud PA music. A basic scoreboard that says "Home" and "Visitor", no constant advertising LED boards flashing under the scorers table.

I recognized about 4 former Illinois players from their 2 Final Four appearances who came to see the game.
