NORMAL — After another tough Illinois State loss earlier this month, Dedric Boyd re-emerged alone on Doug Collins Court at Redbird Arena less than a half-hour after falling to Missouri State.
The junior guard worked on his shooting mechanics for a couple minutes. Then he sat underneath the basket almost in a trance.
"I was thinking about what I could do better for the team, why my shot was not falling, stuff like that," said Boyd. "I had to come out, do a little form shooting and sit there and think about it and see what I could do to get better.
