The Baton Rouge, La., native tossed in
a game-high 24 points to lead the 'Birds past the preseason
favorites in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference.
Head coach Porter Moser was pleased
with Guidry's honor and commended the 6-foot-2 guard on his
well-balanced play against the Rattlers.
"I have really been talking to Trey
about being more complete," Moser said. "We know he can score, but I
think he showed some defensive intensity and he did well against the
press. I think Trey is making more plays that aren't scoring plays,
and I think that is a big step in making Trey a more complete
player."

Guidry scored 12 points from behind the
3-point arc on 4-of-6 shooting, but he also took two charges
defensively. Guidry recorded his other 12 points from the free-throw
line, where he matched Illinois State's Redbird Arena record for
most made free throws in the facility.
Guidry and
the Redbirds return to action on Wednesday (Nov. 26) when Illinois
State travels to DeKalb, Ill., to take on Northern Illinois. Tipoff
is 7:05 p.m.
