Men's Basketball
Wichita State University at Southern Illinois University
at Carbondale
14 January 1999
SIUC (7-6) won a convincing
match against visiting Wichita
State University (8-8) before an average sized winter-break
home crowd. The Salukis got off to a quick lead 7-2 against the
Shockers and struggled to a 26-25 lead by half-time due in part
to weak inside play. The second half was much better; the Salukis
were able to build a 5 point lead at the 12:31 mark and extend
it to 10 points. Three-point shooting by Chris Thunell (who had
23 points), motivated inside play, good defense, and having 3
Shockers foul out were crucial in this effort, resulting in the
final 67-55 victory.
