09/19/2022 | 11:20:00 | Men's Basketball
CARBONDALE, Ill. β Southern Illinois head coach Bryan Mullins announced updates to his program's 2022-23 schedule as well as future schedules Monday with the addition of home-and-home series with Oklahoma State, Saint Louis and Southern Indiana.
Β
"With the addition of two extra Valley games, top to bottom this year's schedule is one of the most challenging in a long time," Mullins said. "To have multiple Quad One opportunities in non-conference was important to us and something that is not easy to achieve."
Β
Mullins continued: "Having Oklahoma State and Saint Louis back at Banterra Center next year will produce the best home schedule in the last 15 years. To have a Power Five program come to Carbondale is something I have wanted for our fans and this community since I have been here. It is extremely rare in the college landscape now to have this type of home game."
Β
The two-for-one series with Oklahoma State will begin this season as the Salukis travel to historic Gallagher-Iba Arena for a matchup with the Cowboys on November 10. With the agreement, Oklahoma State will play at Banterra Center during the 2023-24 season.
Β
The game in Carbondale will mark the first Power Five opponent Southern Illinois has hosted since the 2007-08 season when Oklahoma State traveled to SIU during the NIT. During the same season, Indiana also played a regular season game at SIU during the non-conference slate.
Β
Oklahoma State will host the Salukis once more during the 2024-25 season to complete the agreement.
Β
A matchup with Saint Louis on the road this season will be returned in 2023-24 as the Billikens are set to travel to Carbondale for the first time since the 2018-19 season.
Β
Southern Indiana has also agreed to a two-for-one deal with SIU. The Screaming Eagles will host Southern Illinois on November 13. In return, USI will play games in Carbondale during the 2023-24 and 2024-25 seasons.
