HOUSTON, Texas – Illinois State Women's Basketball guard Paige Robinson has been selected to participate in the State Farm College Team Skills and 3X3U Championships at the Bayou Music Center in downtown Houston at 6:30 p.m. CT on March 29. The event will air on ESPN2 on April 2 at 9 p.m. CT
As part of this year's event, Robinson has been chosen to be apart of "Team Dream," alongside Vanderbilt's Ciaja Harbison, Marquette's Chloe Marotta, and Texas Tech's Bre'Amber Scott. The quartet will be one of six teams competing down in Houston for this year's event.Â
The reigning 2022-23 MVC Jackie Stiles Player of the Year, Newcomer of the Year, First Team All-MVC, and All-Newcomer Team selection, Robinson led the way for the Redbirds in her lone season in Normal. The Bethany native averaged 18.3 points, 2.9 assists, 4.8 rebounds, and 0.8 steals per contest in 2022-23 in her only season with the Redbirds.
Robinson finished the 2022-23 campaign with 27 outings scoring in double figures – including posting 20-plus points on 17 occasions- while leading Illinois State in the category 20 times. Most notably, the graduate guard would tie her career-high with a 37-point performance against Wisconsin on Nov. 20.
