Head coach Stan Gouard joined Harry Schroeder early Monday morning to discuss the win and evaluate his team’s first two games. After a narrow loss at Missouri, the Screaming Eagles were able to defeat the Missouri Valley Conference’s Southern Illinois Salukis.
(Preseason Interview with Gouard and Jelani Simmons)
Four USI players reached double figures and they frustrated the SIU offense all day long. SIU shot under 33% for the game and under 18% from distance.
Here is our exclusive interview with head coach Stan Gouard.
The competition doesn’t get any easier. Wednesday USI travels to Notre Dame.

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
