NORMAL — The scoreboard at Redbird Arena figures to get quite a workout Wednesday.

Illinois State's basketball team announced Monday it will entertain Division III Greenville University at 5 p.m. Wednesday at Redbird Arena. No fans will be allowed because of COVID-19 regulations.

Greenville (0-3) plays a style called "The System," which was first popularized by Grinnell, that includes using multiple players, full-court trapping pressure and taking the first available shot, which is often a 3-pointer.
