NORMAL — The improvement of Illinois State’s JuJu Redmond in her second season as a Redbird was recognized Wednesday when the Missouri Valley Conference made her a part of its 11-player women’s basketball all-star first team.
“I worked hard to earn it so I feel like it was a very earned accomplishment,” Redmond said. “The goal for this year was being Player of the Year. That’s what I was looking for. But this year being a weird season, it is what it is.”
The MVC will announce its Player of the Year and other specialty awards Thursday.
