What to Know

The SIU-Edwardsville Cougars have been on the wrong side of a one-way rivalry with the SE Missouri State Redhawks and are hoping to record their first win since Jan. 23 of 2020. SIU-Edwardsville and SE Missouri State will face off in an Ohio Valley battle at 3 p.m. ET Saturday at Show Me Center. The Cougars should still be feeling good after a victory, while SE Missouri State will be looking to regain their footing.

On Thursday, SIU-Edwardsville wrapped up 2022 with a 64-51 win over the Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles.

Meanwhile, SE Missouri State was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap on Thursday as they fell 86-81 to the Southern Indiana Screaming Eagles.

Barring any buzzer beaters, SIU-Edwardsville is expected to win a tight contest. They have been consistent moneymakers against the spread when favored (2-0-1), so they might be worth a quick bet.

SE Missouri State's loss took them down to 5-9 while SIU-Edwardsville's win pulled them up to 10-4. A win for the Redhawks would reverse both their bad luck and SIU-Edwardsville's good luck.
