David Ndiaye in uniform for @Redbird_MBB and expected to play tonight against UIC. Seven-foot junior missed first 11 games with stress fracture -
By the way, the UIC - ISU game will be televised on NBCSports Chicago Network at 7 PM (formerly Comcast Sports Chicago).Comment

UIC leads ISU 40-38 with 15 minutes left in the game. POW and NOW Milik Yarbrough, after recording 4 points, 3 rebounds, and 2 assists in the first half, did not start the 2nd half.

Drake loses at South Dakota State 87-74. SDSU is a tough place for a visiting team to win, and Drake trailed the entire game-

And SIU wins in a major blowout 102-64 in Carbondale over North Carolina A&T-

UIC stayed close the entire way, but ISU pulls out the 1-point win-
UIC 70
ISU 71
Illinois State was just 4-21 (19%) from three. David Ndiaye did not play, and Elijah Clarence did get in the game for 3 minutes in the first half, but then came out and never returned to the game. Yarbrough lead ISU with 20 points.Comment

I thought both teams played well & displayed athleticism, except for the poor shot selection and occasional porous defense in the lane
With this kind of quickness & athleticism on the floor, guys like Gassman, Clarance and Bruninga were serious liabilities - and combined for only one made basket and 4 rebounds..Comment

I was anticipating a 12-15 Point Redbird Win. Boy was I wrong. They were lucky to win tonight. Poor shooting, especially on free throws playing at home. Looks like Clarance will struggle for several games if not the entire year. Agree interior defense was porous. Lots of penetration baskets by UIC.Comment
