Reggie Lynch goredbirds.com
(Indianapolis, IN) – Freshman Reggie Lynch set an all-time Missouri Valley Conference record Wednesday night. The Illinois State center blocked five Sienna shots, giving him 96 on the season and establishing a new freshman record.
Unfortunately the record came in a loss that ended the season for the Redbirds. ISU lost 61-49 at Sienna in the semi finals of the College Basketball Insider tournament. The very young Redbirds finish the season with a record of 18-16. The Saints move to the finals carrying a record of 18-17.
Lynch also led the Redbirds with 15 points. He finishes the season with four more blocks than Creighton’s Benoit Benjamin (1982-83) for that freshman record and seven behind Jeff Wilkins’ 103 blocks for the ISU single season record.
There are no Missouri Valley Conference teams left in post-season play.

Flooding, lightning strikes, etc. have cost @RacersHoops two home games. Had to play 'neutral site' tonight instead of at home and Wednesday's goes from home to away. Tough break for the Racers, and the whole area has been hit with difficulties. #FatherHarry
Murray State's scheduled home game Wednesday vs. Southern Illinois being moved to Banterra Center in Carbondale. #ValleyHoops
Gigantic game for @BradleyUMBB today in Des Moines. If they have a chance to catch @DrakeBulldogsMB, they have to win today. The Bulldogs can basically win the title today. @BustingBrackets breaks it all down. #FatherHarry https://bit.ly/3EGiVgi
Not rooting for any particular @ValleyHoops, but chaos is always fun. If things break certain ways, after today there could be a six-way tie for fifth place.
Fun to listen to @MLBLarry on the @SIU_Basketball/@BelmontMBB game tonight. Good job brother. #FatherHarry
