NORMAL -- Illinois State basketball fans will
have an opportunity to publicly view the 2005-06 edition of the
Redbirds prior to their exhibition game against Augustana (S.D.), as
head coach Porter Moser has announced the annual Red-White Scrimmage
for Nov. 1 at 7 p.m. in Redbird Arena.

"We have a lot of guys that haven't played in a gamelike situation
together, and the more gamelike situations you can have the better,"
Moser said. "Also, in a scrimmage you have 10 Illinois State players
on the floor at one time, as opposed to five players in an
exhibition. So we are going to get a lot more minutes played when we
go against each other.
"It will be good for our guys to get some nervousness and rust
out playing in front of people, and hopefully we (as a coaching
staff) can see a lot of things that we will be able to address
before our first exhibition game."

for ISU's lone public exhibition. Tipoff is at 7:05 p.m.
