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.

Big thanks to Saluki interim athletic director and SIU Foundation CEO Matt Kupec for making time for us. The former record-setting North Carolina QB joined us in-studio tonight for an inspiring interview.
Matt Varney talked with Bryan Mullins on the postgame teleconference after SIU beat UND 85-64 in the first of a two-day doubleheader. They discussed Marcus Domask's struggles to score, Lance Jones' work on the defensive end, and Kyler Filewich's big day.
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
