Thanks to Saluki guard Makenzie Silvey for joining us (after the team Christmas party no less!). The MVC named Makenzie their Player Of The Week after she averaged just over 21 points the last three games, including 19 in Sunday's big win over Illinois.

 

The Dawgs have dropped 4 of their last 5, and have two straight games against first-place Loyola. So we thought it would be the perfect opportunity for a pep talk from Saluki Radio analyst and former longtime Saluki assistant and Southern Indiana head coach Rodney Watson, and he delivered.

SIU Baseball made history on Tuesday night with a 10-0 win over Austin Peay, tossing their first no-hitter since 1979 when Paul Evans pitched a 7-inning no-hitter.  It's the first 9-inning no-no since 1953 when Paul Grandcolas no-hit Arkansas State.  Mike Reis, the voice of the Salukis, caught up with skipper Lance Rhodes after the game, as well as the man who shut things down in the final frame, Kaden Peterson:

 

0:00 - Lance Rhodes

3:22 - Kaden Peterson

Thanks again to Saluki senior linebacker Bryce Notree for bringing his passion and energy to the show tonight, and getting us fired up for the Illinois State game this weekend.
