Illinois State Women’s Basketball to Host Education Day, Aiming to Break Attendance Records
Illinois State University’s women’s basketball team is set to host the Chicago State Cougars on Wednesday, November 12, at 11 a.m. for a special Education Day presented by Country Financial Agent Joshua LaCombe. The event builds on the success of last year, which saw a record-breaking crowd of 8,027 students, staff, and chaperones attend an ISU women’s basketball game.
Record-Breaking Attendance in 2024

The university is hoping to surpass this number in the upcoming game.
