The Saluki men's basketball team begins its' 2015-2016 MVC schedule Wednesday at Loyola.
Loyola has played a decent non-conference schedule, facing three Rating Percentage Index (RPI) top-150 teams. With losses to No. 44 Notre Dame and No. 144 New Mexico, and a win over No. 146 Creighton.
Meanwhile, the Salukis have four top-150 wins over No. 64 Kent State, No. 96 Sam Houston State, No. 97 Oakland, and No. 107 Air Force.
Unlike last week's opponent Saint Louis, Loyola has struggled to get to the free-throw line, attempting only 208 free-throws compared to SIU's 319.
This may be in part to Loyola's lack of size.
