O’Brien’s Big Night
On a night that saw Missouri Valley Conference scoring leader Anthony Beane struggle through an 0-for-12 shooting start, Southern Illinois forward Sean O’Brien picked up the slack by scoring a game-high 24 points, leading the host Salukis to a 71-59 win against Bradley Wednesday night at SIU Arena.
