NORMAL — Boden Skunberg and Brandon Lieb made plans.
It was one more hopefully triumphant season before riding off into the college basketball sunset.
Yet as Robert Burns told us the best laid plans of mice and men — and basketball players — oft go awry.
Injuries waylaid the plans of Skunberg and Lieb, and instead of attempting to rush back for the final few games of the Illinois State season, both will take medical redshirts and return in 2025-26.
“Both have indicated they want to be back here next year,” ISU coach Ryan Pedon said.
