Hillary Phillips brings old-school toughness and steady two-way guard play for Southern Illinois
Hillary Phillips, a 5-foot-11 senior guard from McLeansboro, Ill., gave Southern Illinois a reliable all-around option in the 2002-03 season, finishing her Saluki career with 54 games played, 1,475 minutes, 99 career field goals, and 248 rebounds. Her profile points to a versatile, physical guard who could rebound well for her position, defend, and chip in without needing the ball to dominate—exactly the kind of glue player coaches love. If you want a composed, team-first backcourt piece with grit over flash, Phillips fits the bill.
