Senior guard Anthony Beane Jr. fends off Sycamore defensemen on his way to the hoop as SIU beat Indiana State 79-66 Wednesday night at SIU Arena. Beane was one of two Salukis to foul out of the game and finished with eight points.
SIU (17-3, 6-1 Missouri Valley Conference) plays the Missouri State Bears (8-11, 4-3 MVC) at 3 p.m. Sunday in Springfield, Mo., in what is being billed as a White Out game, similar to the Salukis' home game against Indiana State on Wednesday.
Missouri State has won 11 of the last 13 contests between the two teams, and SIU hasn't won in Springfield since Feb.
