Illinois-MSU Preview | Game Promotions

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. – With the overwhelming support of an energized student body, the final home game of the Fighting Illini Men's Basketball season against Michigan State will be played in front of a sold out crowd in State Farm Center. It will be the second home sellout of this season. Fans are encouraged to come early, be loud, and wear ORANGE to thank the six seniors for their tremendous dedication to the program.

Here's the most important information for fans in advance of the game on Wednesday night.

» Senior Night Festivities – Fans should be in their seats by 7:40 p.m. to celebrate seniors Tracy Abrams, Alex Austin, Malcolm Hill, Maverick Morgan, Jaylon Tate and Mike Thorne Jr. during pregame.

» 10 Student Half-court Shots for the chance to win $10,000 each – that's $100,000 in total! – To thank the student body for their tremendous support all season, the Fighting Illini want 10 lucky students to walk away with $10,000 each if they successfully make a half-court shot during either pregame (sponsored by Game Day Spirit), the first half (sponsored by FlyCU), or the second half (sponsored by Homefield Energy Services). The pregame shots will take place around 7:20pm so students are encouraged to be in the arena by 7pm to take advantage of the first opportunity. Students who would like to be selected for this opportunity must download the Oskee Rewards app (the new student loyalty program) and check-in at State Farm Center via the platform. Make sure to allow notifications through the app as we will notify the winners via Oskee Rewards. Follow the link to download the app in advance of arrival at the game.
