Randy Rice brings steady, all-around guard play for Illinois State
In the 2001-02 season, Randy Rice gave Illinois State a dependable two-way backcourt presence, averaging 6.0 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 4.1 assists while shooting 39.4% from the field and earning MVC All-Defense recognition.[1][4][6] His biggest value was connective tissue: he handled the ball, created for others, rebounded well for a guard, and played with enough defensive bite to matter beyond the box score.[4][6] If a team wants a tough, experienced guard who can organize offense and compete on both ends, Rice fits the “glue guy with edge” profile nicely.[4][6]
