Illinois State's Steady-Handed Senior Playmaker
Illinois State guard Paige Saylor shines as a reliable floor general, averaging 6.3 points, 3.0 assists (team-high 71, 9th in MVC), and 2.9 rebounds in her senior 2023-24 season while earning MVC Scholar-Athlete honors—her poise led the Redbirds to their first postseason in eight years as coach Kristen's inaugural four-year player. Clutch performer with a 15-point career-high (6-for-6 FG, perfect 3-for-3 from deep vs. Missouri State), she's a smart, efficient distributor ideal for teams needing veteran leadership, academics, and multi-tool grit without the diva drama.
