Does anyone know the date of this exhibition game?

Sadly the official Illinois basketball record guide doesn't list exhibitions:

I know, which is why I am asking here.

I don't remember the date, but I am pretty sure I was there. That was the Sarbonis (sic) team, right? The giant big man who was so good for so long internationally? But the date? Sorry.

I did some research online just for the challenge and you know what? Even though I'm usually pretty good at finding something like this, I can't find anything about the game itself... If I do, I'll let you know.

And yes, I did recognize Sabonis' name on the roster I found of that season-just no schedule. Sorry...

"COACH LOU HENSON'S basketball team took the court Tuesday to begin a series of 10 practice sessions that will prepare the team for a 10-game exhibition tour of Russia, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. The team leaves May 18 and returns to Champaign June 2."

Best I could do.

Another tasty bit: Illini decide on Guenther

Also, the Illini played exhibition games in November of 1992 against a touring team from Moscow and Belorussia at the Assembly Hall.

*EDIT*
Apparently I can't post links to these sites. But if you go to (www.herald-review.com) and click on Archives Search in the upper right hand corner and do the manual search yourself (Search "Illini" with dates entered), you'll get to see these articles. I will include dates of articles to the right of previous links.

More importantly, who was our top scorer?

Could that have been the 'breakout' game of the fabled Marc Davidson?

Great work benchik, thanks.

Don't know if this muddies the waters, but I found a guy who was selling a 92-93 Illinois Media Guide on ebay and I wrote to him and just got a reply.

Here's his response.

"There is a TBA game against Illinois on Nov 28 otherwise the only thing listed would be IL vs the Russian National Team on Nov 16th. Thanks."

Hope this helps.
