#6 Il St Redbirds @ #13 So Dak State Jackrabbits.
The 3-0 Redbirds
11-12 at Illinois 2-2 (0-0) 76 69-62 W
11-18 Eastern Illinois 1-3 (0-0) 220 84-53 W
11-20 SIU-Edwardsville 0-4 (0-0) 291 68-57 W
bring a talented team to Frost tonite (I'm assuming that they didn't get "weathered out") for a great Top 15 mid-major toss-up game.
From the MoValley PreSeason selection....
Illinois State (picked 4th, 258 points) brings back just two starters from last year's squad that made a historic run to their second consecutive WNIT semifinals. Illinois State's roster boasts five seniors and two juniors and will be led by top returners Shala Jackson, Amanda Clifton, Katie Broadway, Emily Hanley and Hannah Spanich. Broadway, Illinois State's leading returner in scoring and three-pointers, and Hanley, the Redbirds top returning rebounder, will pose an effective one-two punch. Illinois State, a team that won at least 25 games each of the past four seasons, will hit the floor under the reigns of first-year head coach Stephanie Glance in 2010-11.
New coach, 2 starters back, but a Big 10 win over Illinois to open the season.
The Jacks need to own the Rabbit Den tonight, and this should be a place where the Jacks ring up a W. Expect this game to be with 10-points with 5 min left. Should be much tighter than last nights MBB game.
