Salukis eye NIT as late bid hopes rise after strong finish
SIU finished 29-7, ranked No. 11 by coaches, the best in program history. They beat LIU and Holy Cross, then fell to Kansas, with a season that featured a preseason AP ranking of 25 and notable wins over Northern Illinois and Mississippi State. The Salukis face a hopeful postseason as Drake and Illinois State look bound for the NCAAs, with at least two Valley teams anticipated in the NIT.
