One-on-One with Steve Prohm
(St. Louis, MO) – For eight Missouri Valley Conference teams this has been a season of looking for momentum. The Valley’s top four teams seem to have found their rhythm, but the bottom eight are looking for important consistency heading towards Arch Madness.
Wednesday night, the Murray State Racers face the Southern Illinois Salukis. The 6:00 pm game was originally supposed to be played in Murray, Kentucky but has been moved to Carbondale due to storm-related electrical problems in Kentucky.
We spoke with Murray State coach Steve Prohm before his team’s rescheduled Monday night game with Northern Iowa (for the same reasons) and before we knew Wednesday’s game would be moved.
Prohm’s team had won two straight games. Murray State is 13-14 and one of five MVC teams tied for sixth place at 7-9. SIU is one of the others. The Racers won the previous meeting, 74-64 in Carbondale. Former Saluki A.J. Ferguson scored a season-high 22 points against his former team.
Here is our conversation with Steve Prohm.
We spoke with SIU head coach Scott Nagy about how his team is looking for momentum.
Others Looking for Momentum
Evansville, Indiana State and Illinois State are the other 7-9 teams. While Illinois State hosts Bradley, the Purple Aces and Sycamores meet Wednesday night. That game tips at 6 pm on local GTN Stations and Matrix Midwest in St. Louis.

Flooding, lightning strikes, etc. have cost @RacersHoops two home games. Had to play 'neutral site' tonight instead of at home and Wednesday's goes from home to away. Tough break for the Racers, and the whole area has been hit with difficulties. #FatherHarry
Murray State's scheduled home game Wednesday vs. Southern Illinois being moved to Banterra Center in Carbondale. #ValleyHoops
Gigantic game for @BradleyUMBB today in Des Moines. If they have a chance to catch @DrakeBulldogsMB, they have to win today. The Bulldogs can basically win the title today. @BustingBrackets breaks it all down. #FatherHarry https://bit.ly/3EGiVgi
Not rooting for any particular @ValleyHoops, but chaos is always fun. If things break certain ways, after today there could be a six-way tie for fifth place.
Fun to listen to @MLBLarry on the @SIU_Basketball/@BelmontMBB game tonight. Good job brother. #FatherHarry
