State Farm Center Water Problem

Tuesday, 28 October 2014

The University of Illinois says it is evaluating the condition of the new basketball court inside the State Farm Center.

Officials say a blocked storm drain line caused several inches of water to settle on the arena floor around three this morning.

The school says if the court can't be fixed the university will "secure an alternate playing surface" in time for the season that starts next week.

The men's team is scheduled to open with an exhibition against Quincy on November 7th, and the women's team faces Millikin on November 8th.
