NORMAL — Kendall Lewis was a decent rebounder last year in his first season with Illinois State's basketball team and before that for Appalachian State. However, he's taken it to another level thus far this season.
So what's suddenly turned him into Dennis Rodman (minus all the craziness, of course)?
The 6-foot-8 senior forward's 41 rebounds were the most of any player in the country in the season's first week. He'll take a 13.7 rebounding average into Thursday's 7 p.m. rematch for the Redbirds (2-1) against Northwestern State (2-2) at CEFCU Arena.
