MVC notebook: Seedings up for grabs in season's final week
NORMAL — This wasn't exactly how Barry Hinson wanted to start his week. Southern Illinois' coach might have preferred a shot of novocaine instead.
"I went to the dentist office this morning, and he told me exactly where we would be with each win or loss," said Hinson during Monday's Missouri Valley Conference basketball coaches teleconference. "There are no hidden secrets. Everyone knows the impact of what this game would mean."
When the Salukis (21-8) face Illinois State (17-12) at 6 p.m. Wednesday at Redbird Arena, seeding implications for next week's MVC Tournament in St. Louis will be at stake.
