OPENING TIP
- The SIU men's basketball team visits Illinois State for a 2 p.m. game on Saturday, January 25. The game will be streamed nationally on ESPN3.
- SIU is trying to snap a 12-game losing streak at Redbird Arena. SIU's last win at Illinois State was the 2006-07 season, when now head coach Bryan Mullins was a sophomore for the Salukis.Â
- SIU is 9-1 at home this season but 0-7 in true road games. SIU has one win away from Carbondale this season, a neutral-site win over UTSA in Florida in the first week of the season.Â
- Since 2013-14, the home team is 12-1 in the SIU-ISU series. SIU won by 12 in Carbondale on January 4 this season to continue that trend.Â
- SIU assistant coach Bryan Mullins was an assistant coach for the Redbirds the past two seasons. SIU graduate assistant Tony Wills played for the Redbirds from 2014-17 and was a starter on Illinois State's 2017 MVC title team.
- SIU ranks 13th nationally (of 353) in scoring defense, allowing just 60.5 points per game. SIU also ranks top-50 nationally in fewest fouls per game (21st) and 3-point field goal percentage defense (41st). KenPom ranks SIU No. 2 in the MVC in adjusted defensive efficiency, behind Loyola.
- Marcus Domask is one of only six freshmen in the nation averaging 13 points, 5 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game.Â
- Domask leads all MVC freshmen in scoring, rebounding, and assists.Â
