CARBONDALE, Ill. - Saluki Basketball is set for a road matchup with Southern Indiana Sunday afternoon in Evansville, Ind. The game will air on ESPN Plus beginning at 3 p.m. CT.
Â
THE BROADCAST
• The game will be available nationally on ESPN Plus with John Morris (play-by-play) and Jevin Redman (analyst) calling the action.
• The radio broadcast can be heard on the Saluki Radio Network with SIU Hall of Famer Mike Reis (play-by-play) and Rodney Watson (analyst) on the call.
Â
THE SERIES
• Southern Illinois is 3-0 all-time against Southern Indiana. The last time the two programs met was during the 2009-10 season during an exhibition game with SIU edging USI 71-69 in Carbondale. This is the first meeting between the programs in the regular season after USI made the jump to Division I, joining the Ohio Valley Conference. The previous regular season games came in the 1980's.
Â
QUICK HITS
• Southern has recorded 33 assists while limiting opponents to just 18 over two games. The 16.5 assists per game ranks second in the Missouri Valley Conference. Four Salukis (Domask, Johnson, Banks and Newton) rank in the top-15 in the League in assists per game.
• The Dawgs are holding opponents to .206 (7-for-34) shooting from deep, allowing just seven 3-pointers this season.
• In two games, Marcus Domask has played 66:45. The senior is averaging 35 minutes per game over his career which ranks tops in program history.
Â
POWER 5 ROAD WIN
• The Salukis rallied to defeat Oklahoma State to earn the program's first true road win over a Power 5 opponent since 2000 when SIU beat Colorado in the NIT. Southern has a Power 5 win in the last two seasons now, after defeating Colorado during the Paradise Jam in 2021-22.Â
Â
DAWGS USE DEFENSE TO PULL UPSET
• Southern held Oklahoma State to just 34.5 percent shooting in the second half en route to a 12-point comeback on the road to pull off the upset. SIU held the Cowboys without a field goal for over four minutes until the end of regulation, including three steals in that time.
Â
DUO CONTINUES TO CLIMB THE CHARTS
• Marcus Domask and Lance Jones are now in a three-way tie with Tom Millikin (1949-52, 54) for 34th all-time in program history with 1,092 career points each. Jones scored 19 to lead the Salukis at OSU while Domask dropped in 16 points.
Â
ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE
• Marcus Domask was named the co-State Farm MVC Scholar-Athlete of the Year, along with Northern Iowa's A.J. Green in 2021-22. He has a 4.00 GPA and is majoring in sport administration. Is SIU's first Scholar-Athlete of the Year in men's basketball since Bryan Mullins won it in 2009.
Â
LAST TIME OUT
Southern Illinois stormed back from a 12-point deficit to stun Oklahoma State, 61-60, on the road. Senior forward Marcus Domask knocked down the winning bucket — a 3-pointer from the left corner with 22 seconds remaining — to give the Salukis their first Power Five road win since beating Colorado in the NIT in 2000. Southern jumped out to an early 13-4 lead after six minutes, as Troy D'Amico, Lance Jones and Domask all buried threes. Trailing, 55-45, with 6:43 to go, the Salukis finished the game on a 16-5 run, and all 16 points were scored by either Domask or Lance Jones, who led the team in scoring with 16 and 19 points, respectively.
