Since tipping off in 1913 in Carbondale, the Southern Illinois Salukis men’s basketball program has blended grit and skill in the Missouri Valley Conference. The Salukis captured the 1967 NIT title behind legend Walt Frazier, added a stack of MVC championships, and surged to six straight NCAA Tournaments in the 2000s with Sweet Sixteen runs in 2002 and 2007. Annual conference showdowns with Illinois State and Bradley keep the rivalry flames hot and the stakes high.
