(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.

Three more road wins so far in @ValleyHoops as @BradleyUMBB @BelmontMBB & @UIC_MBB capture road wins. Looks like @DrakeBulldogsMB will do so too. #FatherHarry
Well @RacersWBB followed the men's example and swept Iowa in the @ValleyHoops race! Racers are 6-1 & if @BelmontWBB holds on to their Iowa sweep, the Bruins and Racers will be tied for first. What a trip for those two teams! #FatherHarry
After today's action, @EIUWBB is 8-0 in @OVCSports play. 4 teams @usiwbb @TTUWBB @LRTrojans @LindenwoodWBB are tied at 6-2. Six other teams are under .500. Great race to the finish lies ahead. #FatherHarry
Really entertaining game between @BelmontMBB & @UEAthletics_MBB. Under four minutes left in a one point game. Gabriel Pozzato back in the Aces' lineup. Rogers is playing like I've expected. Triples are dropping. It's fun and @kylejpeach bringing it on #ThePlus #FatherHarry
