Two Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Year candidates, Anthony Beane, left, and Ron Baker stand on the court Saturday during SIU's loss to Wichita State.
The loss gives the Shockers (17-5, 11-0 MVC) a sweep of the season series and five straight wins over SIU (18-6, 7-4 MVC).
With the win, Shocker coach Gregg Marshall helped secure the 1,500th win in program history and also became the winningest coach in program history.
SIU shot 30.6 percent in the game and 25 percent in the second half. Both of those stats rank as the Salukis' worst performance of the season.
