NORMAL — After an ill-timed offensive drought cost the Illinois State women’s basketball team a game Saturday, the Redbirds will try to reignite their scoring firepower on Tuesday.
ISU, which went over eight fourth-quarter minutes without scoring in a 75-65 loss to Saint Louis, returns home to take on Division II Missouri-St. Louis in an 11 a.m. Education Day nonconference matchup at CEFCU Arena.
“It was the perfect storm. It was not a great health week,” said ISU coach Kristen Gillespie. “We had four main kids sick last week. They are feeling a little better. We’re getting healthier by the minute.
