Illinois State Basketball Looks to Future Success

Illinois State Basketball Looks to Build on Promising Season

Normal, IL – March 27, 2025 – The Illinois State Redbirds men’s basketball team is entering the offseason with optimism after a competitive 2024-25 campaign that saw flashes of potential under head coach Ryan Pedon.

Finishing the season with an 18-14 record (11-9 in the Missouri Valley Conference), the Redbirds showed significant improvement, particularly on the defensive end. A late-season push, including an upset win over MVC powerhouse Drake, gave fans hope for future success. However, a quarterfinal loss in the MVC Tournament ended their hopes of an NCAA Tournament bid.

'We took steps forward this year,' said Pedon, now entering his third season at the helm. 'Our guys competed every night, and we’re building something special here. The focus now is on player development and adding the right pieces in the offseason.'

Key players like sophomore guard Johnny Kinziger, who averaged 14.2 points per game, and junior forward Darius Burford, a dynamic scorer and leader, are expected to return. The Redbirds also have high hopes for their incoming recruiting class, which includes three-star forward Marcus Wright from Chicago.

Meanwhile, the women’s team, led by head coach Kristen Gillespie, continued their strong play with a 22-10 record and a WNIT appearance. Senior guard DeAnna Wilson capped off an impressive career, earning All-MVC honors.

With both programs showing progress, Illinois State basketball appears poised for bigger things in the 2025-26 season. Fans are eager to see if the Redbirds can make a push for March Madness contention next year.
