Redbird Basketball Showcased at Hoopfest

NORMAL, Ill. – The 2018-19 Illinois State men's and women's basketball programs performed and showed off each of their respective squads at Hoopfest on Friday night on Doug Collins Court at Redbird Arena.

The season tipoff event – held in conjunction with Illinois State Homecoming – started with the crowning of ISU's Homecoming King and Queen.

Both basketball programs were then introduced to the crowd, followed by a three-point contest. Keyshawn Evans earned bragging rights as he was victorious in the championship round against Mary Crompton.

The men's team followed with a dunk-off between Phil Fayne and Matt Chastain.
