Match Info

Southern Illinois secured an 81-67 road victory over Evansville in an NCAA basketball Missouri Valley Conference game on March 1, 2026. The Salukis used a balanced scoring attack and strong rebounding to wear down the Purple Aces and claim a comfortable win. Evansville started well, feeding off its home crowd to keep the game close in the early going. Southern Illinois gradually imposed its will, using its size advantage to control the paint on both ends of the floor. By halftime, the Salukis had built a modest lead. They extended it quickly in the second half with a series of fast-break baskets and second-chance points, pushing the advantage past fifteen points. Evansville could not find enough consistent offense to mount a serious challenge, as Southern Illinois answered every small run with a score of its own. The result solidified Southern Illinois's position in the upper half of the MVC standings. The Southern Illinois coach highlighted his team's inside presence, while the Evansville coach pointed to defensive rebounding as a key issue.
