SIU chops down Sycamores

Senior guard Anthony Beane Jr. fends off Sycamore defensemen on his way to the hoop as SIU beat Indiana State 79-66 Jan. 20 at SIU Arena. Beane was one of two Salukis to foul out of the game and finished with eight points.

Anthony Beane put on a show for the opposing fans, dropping game-highs with 31 points and six rebounds — his fifth 30-point game this season.

The win puts SIU (19-7, 8-5 Missouri Valley Conference) in fourth place in the MVC.
