Illinois is moving its annual United Center basketball game, which is usually played in early December, to Jan. 2 to avoid a conflict with the football team's home finale vs. Fresno State on Dec. 5, Bruce Weber told the Decatur Herald & Review's Mark Tupper. Gonzaga will be the opponent. Time is yet to be determined, but it will be a day game televised by CBS.
