The Salukis (19-9, 13-4 Missouri Valley Conference) outscored the Sycamores 22-11 in the fourth quarter en route to a 62-58 win. Despite SIU leading by as many as eight points in the first half, Indiana State looked ready to pull away in the second half on Sycamore Senior Day.

ISU used a 14-0 run to gain a 47-38 lead late in the third quarter before a jumper by Saluki freshman guard Olivia Bowling kickstarted a 7-0 run at the start of the fourth.
