NORMAL — Moments after Illinois State's lopsided 25-point loss at Missouri State on Wednesday, Howard Fleming Jr. stood outside the Redbirds' locker room confident there would be no lasting effect on the Redbirds.
"We'll definitely chop up the film and study this game so it doesn't happen again," said the sophomore guard, which the Redbirds did Thursday morning on campus. "I feel it was just our toughness. That's not something you can watch on film and fix. That's something we all have to fix within us."
The Redbirds get a chance to do so quickly.
