NORMAL — Illinois State rallied from a five-point deficit in the final seconds of regulation and controlled overtime to outlast Bucknell, 105-100, Saturday in a nonconference basketball game at Redbird Arena.
Mark Freeman erupted for a career-high 34 points and Sy Chatman added 23 as the Redbirds moved to 2-2 despite a 3 of 16 shooting performance from national scoring leader Antonio Reeves.
“We did a lot of good things and a lot of bad things,” ISU coach Dan Muller said. “It’s nice to get a win with Antonio having a tough night though he did a lot of really good things.
