For all of those that say they want to see U of I at Redbird Arena tonight is your night. An actual ranked Illini team will be coming to Redbird to compete in the Redbird Classic this weekend. Tonight at 7 pm you can come on out to Redbird Arena, check out the new seating in the lower bowl, see how the new intros will work this year, and cheer on a Redbird team that competed in the NCAA tournament and were conference champs last year. Coach Leah Johnson is doing great things at ISU and I hope lots of Redbird fans can come out and support her and the volleyball team this weekend. On Saturday the Birds will take on UCF, who are receiving votes, and on Sunday they play Marquette who is ranked 7th. It should be a very fun weekend of volleyball at Redbird Arena.
