The Illini basketball schedule dropped yesterday, so Carp takes a break from The 200 Level‘s regularly scheduled Illini football programming to dive into the full slate (which includes not one but TWO St. Francises), a brief overview of expectations for this year’s team, and maybe even a little bit of football talk after all.
