The Shocks (13-5, 7-0) take on Illinois State (10-8, 5-2) and Indiana State (10-9, 4-3) at Koch Arena this weekend to finish off the 1st half of their MVC schedule.
1st up is Illinois State at 7:00pm Friday. $4 GA tickets are available if purchased by 5:00pm Thursday.
Illinois State at 5-2 in the MVC currently sits in a 2nd place tie with Northern Iowa 2 games back of the 7-0 Lady Shocks.
Experience-wise they look pretty similar to the Shocks. They have 1 senior and 5 juniors on their roster. The Shocks have 2 seniors and 6 juniors on their roster.
Illinois State's starters appear to dominate the stats for the Redbirds and 4 are averaging double figures in scoring. The starters have logged 74% of the minutes, scored 83% of the points and pull down 65% of the rebounds for the Redbirds.
Illinois State shoots a very good 39.9% on their treys with 4 starters hitting 42.6% while average about 13.5 attempts per game. The starting center has not attempted a trey. They are also a solid FT shooting team at 71.3%
They turn the ball over less than 15 times per game.
5'9" Sr G Katie Broadway leads the way with 16.0 PPG. She also contributes 4.0 RPG and plays 35.5 MPG. She is 47-119 from behind the arc for 39.5% and is an 81% FT shooter.
5'8" Jr G Jamie Russell is a transfer from Wisconsin who sat out a transfer year last year. She is averaging 11.7 PPG and is a very active rebounder for her size at 5.1 RPG while playing 30.4 MPG. She is a 37.2% three-point shooter on 16-43 and a 71% FT shooter. Russell leads the Redbirds in assists at 3.6 APG and has the best assist to turnover ratio on the team.
6'2" So F Marly Hall is scoring at an 11.3 PPG clip and averages 6.4 RPG in 27.3 MPG. She has not attempted a trey and shoots 63% from the line.
5'10" Jr G Candace Sykes averages 10.4 PPG and leads the Redbirds in rebounding at 6.7 RPG in 30.3 MPG. Candace is 29-55 from three for an outstanding 52.7%.
5'6" Jr Point guard Alexis Jenkins chips in 6.9 PPG, 2.8 RPG and 2.8 APG in 26.9 MPG.
The primary players off the bench are 6'2" Fr F Maddie Oliver (15.7 MPG) who I assume spells Hall and Sykes when needed, 6'0" Fr G Katy Winge (13.5 MPG) who probably provides backup for Russell and Sykes and maybe Boadway and 5'7" So G Chloe Nelson (13.7 PPG) who probably mostly backs up Jenkins at the point.
Illinoin State averages 67 PPG and has allowed 64 PPG.
Should be a good challenge for the Shocks.
