Dickie V dials in on Guidry     Send a link to a friend

[NOV. 18, 2004]  NORMAL -- One of the most outspoken voices in men's college basketball has recognized Illinois State's Trey Guidry as one of the most outstanding 3-point shooters in the nation. ESPN college basketball analyst Dick Vitale named Guidry to his "All AT&T" team, singling out five players in the country who do the most damage from long distance.

In the most recent issue of ESPN The Magazine, Vitale, known for his passion for college basketball and keen ability to deliver nicknames, named Guidry, Pat Carroll (Saint Joseph's), Travis Diener (Marquette), Chris Hill (Michigan State) and J.J. Redick (Duke) as his top 3-point threats in the country.

In the first three games of the season at the BCA Classic in Milwaukee, Guidry lived up to his billing, averaging over 15 points per game in the Redbirds' two wins and one loss. Beyond the arc, Guidry went 6-of-13 for the tournament.

In 2003, Guidry averaged over 15 points a game and made 86 3-pointers during the year, which is the third-highest single-season total in ISU history.

Trey and the Redbirds will open up the home portion of the schedule when they take on Truman State on Monday at 7:05 p.m. at Redbird Arena.
