CARBONDALE, Ill. - The SIU men's basketball team announced the full 2021-22 schedule on Monday. The Salukis play seven non-conference home games, starting with an exhibition on October 26. SIU's regular season home opener, the Charles Helleny Tip-Off Classic, is November 12 against Austin Peay.
The Salukis play programs who have been at the top of their leagues in recent years. In the season opener, SIU travels to Little Rock to face a Trojans program that won the Sun Belt in 2019-20 with a 15-5 record. The Charles Helleny Tip-Off Classic is against Austin Peay, which went 14-4 in the OVC that season, as well. SIU's first game in the Paradise Jam is against Colorado, and the Buffs went 14-6 in the Pac-12 last year and were ranked in the top-10 nationally by KenPom. The Salukis also have a trip to former MVC member Tulsa, which won a share of the American Conference title in 2019-20. A trip to San Francisco rounds out the challenging road slate; the Dons have been ranked in the top-105 of the NET in each of the last two seasons.Â
SIU returns 97 percent of its scoring from last year's team. Season tickets are available by calling 877-SALUKIS or online at SIUSalukis.com/Tickets.
