When the original television schedule was released by the Missouri Valley Conference, the league might not have realized how good of a match-up it had with Illinois State traveling to Wichita State this Saturday, considering the 'Birds were tabbed 10th in the preseason poll. But with a 14-5 record, including four straight wins, the Redbirds enter Saturday's game in third place, two games behind the Shockers in the league standings. The game tips off at 6:05 p.m. and will be shown live on FSN Midwest, Comcast Sportsnet Chicago, Fox College Sports Atlantic and Metro Sports as the Valley's game of the week.
