That's just a sample of good times to be had this weekend if you come out and experience Illinois athletics. The University of Illinois is concluding the month of January with five home athletic contests, starting with Orange and Blue wrestling on Friday. The first of three events on Saturday, the Illini women's track and field team will host the Illinois Invitational at the Armory, starting at noon. The teams competing include Brigham Young, Kent and Arkansas. At 4 p.m., head over to the Atkins Tennis Center and cheer on the Illini men's netters as the three-time defending champions take on Northwestern in their home opener.
Admission is free and so is the chili.
Head Coach Craig Tiley invites the Illini faithful to come out and taste the finest chili in the greater Urbana-Champaign area. Saturday's action closes with men's and women's gymnastics facing Michigan State in a pair of dual meets at 7 p.m. The first 50 UI students into Huff Hall get a free t-shirt. On Sunday, Head Coach Theresa Grentz and her women's hoops team will entertain conference foe Michigan State at 2 p.m. at Assembly Hall.
