IOWA CITY, Iowa – JuJu Redmond hopes to play professional basketball after her Illinois State career.
Scoring 25 points against the No. 8-ranked team in the country on national television gave that quest a new level of exposure Friday at Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
“I didn’t have any nerves,” Redmond said after ISU’s season ended in a 98-58 NCAA Tournament loss to Iowa. “I belong on that type of stage.”
After three seasons as a Redbird, Redmond capped her ISU career 19th in program history with 1,228 points. Her 571 points this season are fifth all-time.
