Saturday's SIU game is the annual Blackout Cancer game. SIU coach Nick Hill spoke with media on Tuesday and discussed with Matt Varney the struggles his team has recently faced and how Illinois State poses a challenge this week.
Mike Murphy and Matt Varney talked plenty of John A. Logan College Athletics Tuesday night, chatting with women's basketball assistant coach Matt Crain, softball coach Taylor Siefert, baseball coach Kyle Surprenant, and men's basketball coach Tyler Smithpeters!
Matt Varney sat down with the new coach of the Pinckneyville Panthers, Matt Laur, on Friday – just days after the former Freeburg coach was hired by the Pinckneyville school board as their next Athletic Director, Dean of Students, and head boys’ basketball coach. They covered a variety of topics including the history of Pinckneyville basketball, how daunting is it to step in to the role of Panthers head coach, his son Ty who will join the team, how he plans to run the team, and a whole lot more:
SIU hosts Illinois State, Week 6 of the high school football season, the death of Pete Rose, and more.
