Last Time Out
Southern suffered their first loss of the season on Saturday when they fell 85-60 at Purdue Fort Wayne. Alayna Kraus led the team with 20 points, continuing her impressive debut-season with the Salukis. Kayla Cooper also dropped 15 points, and Tkiyah Nelson filled the stat sheet with 10 points, six rebounds, three assists, and three steals.
Early Impressings
Just two games into her Saluki career, Oral Roberts transfer Kraus has already impressed. The sophomore guard is averaging 18 points-per-game through two games, dropping 16 in SIU's season-opening win over Lewis on November 4 and then 20 in Saturday's loss to Purdue Fort Wayne. This mark leads the Salukis so far this year. Kraus also has grabbed 12 total rebounds through the two contests and she leads the Salukis in minutes-per-game (33.5).
The Matchup
Missouri and Southern Illinois have matched up 14 times in the past, with the Tigers holding a 9-5 series advantage. They last met in 2020, when the Tigers won 79-43 on their home court. This game extended Missouri's win streak to six against SIU, as the Salukis have not defeated Missouri since their 69-51 win in 1987. SIU has not defeated Missouri in Columbia since 1981.
The Tigers enter this matchup with a 3-1 record on the season. They are coming off their first loss of the season, which came on Saturday when they fell 82-77 to Kansas. The Tigers started the season with three straight wins against Central Arkansas, Tulane, and Arkansas State.
