NORMAL, Ill. – It only comes once a year, but no matter the time of year, Education Day is always one of the biggest highlights of the Illinois State women's basketball season. The 2022 edition of Education Day on Tuesday was no different, as the Redbirds got back on the winning track with a 66-51 win over the UMSL Tritons.
The major note of Tuesday's contest came as a 12-year-old WBB home attendance record was broken as 6,363 students, faculty, administrators, and fans piled into CEFCU to watch the Redbirds in action. Prior to Tuesday, the home attendance record stood at 6,075 which was set during the 2010 WNIT for ISU when California paid Normal a visit.
