Will Illini's Tisdale be wearing red or orange?

Since Mike Tisdale committed to play basketball at the University of Illinois midway through his junior season at Riverton High School, the topic became whether Tisdale would redshirt or wear orange in his first season with the Illini.

"Everybody thinks he's going to redshirt coming in,'' Illinois coach Bruce Weber said. "He's talked about it. The way he's played this summer, from the all-star games and the open gyms, he's pretty talented.''
