I dug around online a bit as I'm not home ... appears it is not part of the BTN but is an online streaming option (for a monthly fee).
I don't see an option to just buy one particular game.

I get regular Big 10 Network. Does that mean I have plus, too, or is that an add?

Not going to be easy. LOL. They have some serious dudes.
But, this will make them much better for opening weekend in two weeks.
This may be the only time all year IUP is the smaller team.

Checking Curbelo, Frazier, and some of their other folks won't be any walk in the park, either.

Wonder who will get the pleasure of guarding Illinois center (and soon-to-be NBA Lottery Pick) Kofi Cockburn (7'0, 285 lbs).

Illinois coach Brad Underwood on tonight's exhibition:
"There won't be much talent disparity," Underwood said. "That's why they are on the schedule. They've got real dudes, real size. I hope they come out and punch us. I can't wait to see how we react."
Nice comment, of course. IUP has some great players. Not many NBA guys, however.
Interested to see how Joe uses the bench tonight. Easy to assume Morris, Armoni, Shawndale, Ethan, Demo and Sulaiman play heavy minutes. But, curious the pecking order of players 7-9.
Word this morning is the game is sold out. That's quite the contrast from IUP's previous similar exhibitions. That arena gets crazy. I doubt it will be amped up like does when Michigan comes to town, but a great experience nonetheless.

Illinois is ranked No. 11 in the AP Poll and a bit higher in others. This is a team with national title hopes and some NBA guys.
I'd say the goal is stay within 25-30 points. Try and come out hot as I'm sure they aren't expecting much.

They gave Kentucky a run a few years ago! Willem was the best player on the floor that night.

It won't be good. I know Joe has a massive following compared to just about every other D2 (and some low-end D1) fan base(s) around, but I have no doubt the gate will take a hit over this move.
I've been to a ton of away games at 3 p.m. It's just not the same atmosphere. Tough to get students during the day.
They'll still get the biggest gates in the league (probably by far) ... but I don't see those 3,400+ gates like they had rolling in 2019 playing in the afternoon. You're starting to then compete with youth basketball, blah blah blah. So, you'll probably lose the casual families, etc.
Who knows, maybe it will be a hit. But, I highly doubt it.
I think one of the things that always made IUP special was the Saturday night home games. Not many others play them. I don't know ... Saturday night just has a different vibe to it. It always felt like a bigger stage -- usually being the last game of the day.
So be it. Maybe this is just a one-year thing.
Side note, as expected it sounds like the KCAC will require masks. I haven't heard of any other Covid-related items -- spacing, etc.
