The Southern Illinois Salukis will host the Oklahoma State Cowboys on Tuesday night in the first visit by a TV league program to SIU in 15 years. The game will be televised on ESPN+.
The Salukis are coming off a 72-53 win over Saint Louis on Saturday. Xavier Johnson led SIU with 31 points and 7 assists, while Troy D'Amico added 20 points, including three 3-pointers in less than a minute.
Oklahoma State is off to a 3-4 start this season. The Cowboys are led by guard Javon Small, who is averaging 15.7 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 5.3 assists.
The game is expected to be a close one. The Cowboys are a better team than their record suggests, and the Salukis will need to be at their best to win.
