Redbirds Fall in First Game in Cancun
RIVIERA MAYA, Mexico – The Illinois State Redbirds got a game-high 20 points from junior guard Antonio Reeves, as seven different layers scored at least six points for ISU; however, it was not enough as the team fell 82-76 to Saint Louis in each program's first game in Mexico.
Reeves made 5-of-13 shots from the field, 4-of-6 from beyond the arc, and 6-of-7 from the charity stripe. Sy Chatman and Mark Freeman each added 13 points for ISU, while Howard Fleming Jr. and Emon Washington each scored seven, and Josiah Strong and Kendall Lewis each six.
Illinois State will face off against the Buffalo Bulls on Tuesday, November 24, with a 5 p.m. (CT) tip-off.
