Illinois State searches for improved defense entering rivalry game with Bradley

NORMAL — While watching his Illinois State basketball team drop the past three games, Coach Ryan Pedon sees three general areas of improvement needed from his Redbirds.

“We have to defend better, we have to play better and we’ve got to finish better,” Pedon said.

ISU will try to hit that trifecta and snap a six-game losing streak to Missouri Valley Conference foe Bradley on Wednesday as the Braves visit CEFCU Arena for a 7 p.m. game that will be broadcast by CBS Sports Network.
