Michael Jordan is expected to attend today's Illinois-Purdue game at the Assembly Hall.

Jordan and the Bulls played at the Assembly Hall in an exhibition game against the Nets on Oct. 24, 1989. His son, Jeff, has become more of a presence in the Illinois rotation with playing time in the last four games. Michael attended two of the three games at the Maui Invitational earlier this season.

"He loves Maui. He got to play a lot of golf. My dad coming to the games and watching us play Duke, I know he really enjoyed that," Jeff said in the N-G last week. "He still doesn't like Duke. I don't know if he ever will. He likes Coach K as a guy. But Duke, no, he doesn't like Duke. I don't think that will change."

Tipoff in 15 minutes.
