Redbirds Upended Up by Hot-Shooting Hilltoppers

ST. THOMAS, U.S. Virgin Islands – Illinois State led for over half the game; however, a hot-shooting second half by the WKU Hilltoppers – including 7-of-8 from long range – saw the Redbirds drop the second game of the 2019 Paradise Jam Tournament by an 83-69 score on Saturday evening.

How it Happened

Illinois State came out firing out of the gates, scoring the first seven points on a Jaycee Hillsman three-pointer, a Matt Chastain free throw and a Zach Copeland three-pointer.
