Champaign, Ill. - Illinois will continue its preparation for the 2011-12 basketball season by competing in the annual Orange & Blue scrimmage on Sunday at 4 p.m. at the Assembly Hall. The scrimmage will consist of four, eight-minute quarters. Each quarter will be contested as its own game, with the score resetting after each quarter. The rosters also will change each quarter, giving the staff an opportunity to see various lineups in action.
