Illinois State seeks to end six-game slide against Southern Illinois at Redbird Arena

NORMAL — Illinois State and Southern Illinois each brought in a bunch of new players this season. Both also defeated Northern Iowa at home.

That's about where the similarities end right now for the Redbirds and Salukis.

While SIU has held serve and not lost at home during Missouri Valley Conference action, ISU suffered two league defeats at Redbird Arena that have fueled a six-game losing streak.

ISU (6-13, 1-6), mired in its worst slump in seven years, seeks to end its downward spiral at 2 p.m. Saturday when SIU (10-10, 4-3) comes into Redbird Arena.
