Southern Illinois Men’s Basketball Announces Non-League Schedule

CARBONDALE, Ill. (KFVS) – The roster for the SIU men’s basketball team has now been finalized.

The Southern Illinois men’s basketball team announced its non-league schedule Wednesday afternoon. The schedule includes games from some big schools as well as two showcases, one of which is the previously announced season opener at South Dakota.

Before the Salukis open the regular season at the Field of 68 Showcase, they will host D3 North Park in an exhibition match on Tuesday, October 29th.
