 In a game that features two schools that were ranked No. 1 in their respective NCAA divisions for a period of time last season, the Illinois Wesleyan men’s basketball team will square off against the University of Illinois in an exhibition game on Thurs., Nov. 3, at the Assembly Hall in Champaign.        Game time for the contest has not yet been determined and ticket sales will be handled by the University of Illinois. The contest will count as one of IWU’s 25 allowable in a regular season by NCAA Division III regulations, but will not count toward the Titans’ won-loss record. Division I Illinois is allowed two such exhibition games on their schedule.
