NORMAL, Ill. – Illinois State women's basketball head coach Kristen Gillespie has released the Redbirds' non-conference schedule for the 2022-23 season, which features five home games, two Big Ten opponents and a trip to Las Vegas for the UNLV Thanksgiving Classic.
"I'm very excited about the non-conference schedule our staff has put together," Gillespie said. "We're facing some strong opponents before conference play starts as we prepare to chase another title and NCAA Tournament appearance. The opportunity to play two Big Ten programs and three teams who finished in the top-100 NET rankings last year will be great preparation before Valley play.
