(St. Louis, MO) – Illinois State finds itself in a strange position. They are the last Missouri Valley Conference basketball team still playing in post season basketball. Tonight (Monday) the Redbirds host Texas A & M in second round action of the College Basketball Insider tournament.

The Redbirds (17-15) after their 77-67 win over Morehead State, ISU hosts the SEC’s Aggies (18-15) in the CBI quarterfinals. It is a chance for Valley revenge after Sunday’s loss by Wichita State to Kentucky.
It has been a difficult post season for the MVC with a collective record of 2 & 3 record. ISU remains as the last Valley banner carrier. The Aggies are just 1 – 12 on the road this season and the Redbirds are 13-3 at Redbird Arena.
Game time is set for 8:05 CT and can be seen on the CBS Sports Network.

I haven't heard, nor do I know, how does this apply to the typical 'foreign' basketball player that is most often over 19?
Obviously, this is a sentimental and not a ‘spreadsheet’ notion, but would hate to see @MVCsports change the #ArchMadness format from the traditional ‘family reunion’ feel by cutting teams from the experience. #FatherHarry
Another nice @MVCsports basketball schedule announcement. #FatherHarry . .
Congrats to @ISURedbirdGolf. T.J. Barger sets a school record. Pietro Pontiggia records the Redbirds' second-ever top 20 finish at a regional. The team finishes tent in the region which is tied for the program's best regional finish! #FatherHarry
