Saturday’s Slate:
Saint Louis vs. Southern Illinois - 4 p.m. ET, ESPN+
One of the top mid-major programs so far this season in the Billikins will play host to a 5-2 Salukis side with a power-5 win on it’s resume already.
Drake vs. Illinois Chicago - 6 p.m. ET, ESPN+
Missouri Valley Conference play heads into day two as another top mid-major in the Bulldogs looks to bounce back from a 75-73 loss at Indiana State with a win against the 5-3 Flames.

More exciting action from day two of MVC play as the 4-3 Bears take on the 5-3 Braves.
News, Notes, and Highlighted Games – Saturday, Dec 3rd--Hoops HD
HIGHLIGHTED GAMES:
-SOUTHERN ILLINOIS AT SAINT LOUIS. I really like this SLU team, but they need to start adding some meat onto their resume. Southern Illinois comes in at a respectable 5-2 with two road wins. If they could pull this upset, it would be a HUGE statement.
OTHER NOTABLE GAMES:
-Indiana State @ Miami OH – Indiana State is 7-1, but still looking for their first true road win
-UIC @ Drake (Missouri Valley) – Drake trying to bounce back from their loss at Indiana State
