What to Know

Southern Illinois has enjoyed a two-game homestand but will soon have to dust off their road jerseys. They and the Evansville Aces will face off in a Missouri Valley battle at 2:00 p.m. ET on Sunday at Ford Center. Southern Illinois is the slight favorite, but fans should be in for an exciting game likely to go down to the wire.

Last Wednesday, even if it wasn't a dominant performance, the Salukis beat the Racers 72-68.

Southern Illinois' success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Jarrett Hensley led the charge by scoring 15 points along with two blocks. Hensley didn't help Southern Illinois' cause all that much against the Sycamores last Saturday but the same can't be said for this contest. Another player making a difference was Troy D'Amico, who scored 20 points.

Meanwhile, Evansville's recent rough patch got a bit rougher on Wednesday after their fourth straight defeat. They fell 88-79 to the Flames. The matchup was a 36-36 toss-up at halftime, but Evansville couldn't quite close it out.

Despite the defeat, Evansville got a solid performance out of Ben Humrichous, who scored 20 points along with six assists and six rebounds. Gage Bobe was another key contributor, scoring 12 points along with two steals.

The Salukis pushed their record up to 18-10 with that victory, which was their third straight at home. As for the Aces, their defeat dropped their record down to 15-13.

Southern Illinois beat the Aces 78-70 in their previous matchup back in January of 2023. The rematch might be a little tougher for Southern Illinois since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
