The Rebels held Illinois State to 30.8 percent shooting from the field while cruising to victory in a contest that is part of the Mountain West-Missouri Valley Challenge.
The loss was the 21st in a row to ranked programs for Illinois State (5-2). The Redbirds’ last win over a ranked team came against Iowa during the 1987-88 season.
