CARBONDALE -- Saluki basketball will air later this month on Southern Illinois University Carbondale’s WSIU Public Broadcasting.

The Saluki men’s basketball team travels to Terre Haute, Ind., Wednesday, Jan. 21, to face Indiana State in a Missouri Valley Conference battle. WSIU-TV will air the exclusive live broadcast in high definition, starting at 6 p.m. Scott Warman and Darren Kinnard will provide color and play-by-play during the broadcast.

Saluki fans who miss the live broadcast or who want to watch the game a second time also will have that opportunity. The station is airing a total replay of the game immediately after the live broadcast concludes, expected to be sometime around 8 p.m.

Telecast sponsors are: B & G Venegoni Distributing, Inc./ Golden Eagle Distributing LLC; Blacklock Financial Group of Wachovia Securities LLC; Southern Illinois Collegiate Common Market (SICCM); SI Dentistry: Dr. Michael Clay; the SIU Foundation; Missouri Valley Conference; and Saluki Athletics.
