The Illinois State Redbirds are preparing to host the Indiana State Sycamores at CEFCU Arena on Tuesday night. The game is set for a 7 p.m. tip-off and will be broadcast on Marquee and ESPN+. Fans can also tune in via the Illinois State Radio Network.
Illinois State has shown significant improvement this season, moving up 331 position rankings from last year. They currently rank eighth nationally in three-point field goal percentage. Forward Chase Walker is notable for drawing fouls at a high rate, while Caden Boser is close to reaching 1,000 career points.
The Redbirds have achieved single-digit turnovers in nine games this season and are among only three NCAA Division I teams ranking within the top-35 in field goal, three-point, and free throw percentages. Freshman Jack Daugherty has made an impact with his three-point shooting, tying for ninth-most by an ISU freshman in a season.
Indiana State enters the game looking to end a four-game losing streak. In their recent loss against Drake, Samage Teel led with 13 points. Teel averages 17.1 points per game and ranks second in assists within the conference.
Both teams will aim to capitalize on their strengths as they face off in this Missouri Valley Conference matchup.
