NORMAL – The Illinois State women's basketball team's positive third-quarter work was undone in 13 seconds Sunday at CEFCU Arena.Shaving a 17-point halftime deficit to eight, the Redbirds watched in dismay as Green Bay scored five points in the final 13 ticks of the third-quarter clock and continued on to a 63-49 nonconference victory.'That's a huge swing,' said ISU coach Kristen Gillespie. 'That's tough.'After two Maya Wong free throws brought the Redbirds within 46-38 at the 41-second mark of the third quarter, Green Bay's Callie Genke was fouled, hit the first free throw and missed the second.
