KenPom Number 50 Goes Down
(St. Louis, MO) – Southern Illinois came up with the Missouri Valley Conference’s first power conference win at the Paradise Jam. SIU upset Colorado 67-63. Despite falling behind 12-1 in the early minutes of the game, the Salukis played disciplined basketball to pull out the upset win.
Steven Verplancken tallied a career high 18 points and Marcus Domask added 17. Both players logged all forty minutes of the tightly played game.
Head coach Bryan Mullins says his players didn’t get down after a slow start and that their defense started to turn the tied.
Colorado (3-1) lost for the first time this season and they were No. 50 in the latest KenPom ratings.
