u25aa Here’s what I wrote in October when I filled out my Missouri Valley Conference preseason ballot:
9. Southern Illinois — Not good. Sad to see a strong talent such as Anthony Beane riding this out at the bottom of the MVC.
Wrong. Wrong. Way wrong.
I should have known a coach with Barry Hinson’s track record would figure it out. On Saturday afternoon, the Salukis will play Wichita State in sold-out SIU Arena and CBS Sports Network lucked into a big MVC game.
“Barry Hinson, we know is a really good good coach,” said Steve Lappas, who will provide analysis on Saturday’s game.
