GAME 15
Eastern Illinois ends its three game Ohio Valley Conference road swing on Saturday evening at Southeast Missouri. The Panthers are currently 1-1 on this run of games with a win at Jacksonville State and Monday night set back at Tennessee Tech. EIU is 2-2 overall and looking to move back to one game above .500 in the league standings. Southeast Missouri has been playing tough this season but struggled to a 3-12 mark, 0-4 in the OVC under interim head coach Zac Roman.

EIU - SOUTHEAST MISSOURI SERIES
This will be the 38th meeting between Eastern Illinois and Southeast Missouri with the Panthers holding a slight 19-18 series lead. The two schools split the season series last season with each winning on the opponents home court. In the Mike Miller era, EIU is 3-3 against the Redhawks splitting the season series during each conference season.

SCOUTING SOUTHEAST MISSOURI
Southeast Missouri is led by the veteran group of Calvin Williams, Kenard Moore and Jaycen Herring who all average in double figures and account for 70 percent of SEMO's scoring offense. So far this season the Redhawks have only played eight players on a regular basis with Williams, Moore and Herring all playing more than 30 minutes per contest.

WINNING AT THE SHOW ME CENTER
In the recent series between Eastern Illinois and Southeast Missouri home court advantage has not been an issue. Two times in the last three years, Eastern Illinois has picked up a win at the Show-Me-Center in Cape Girardeau. Last season EIU shot 61 percent and five players score in double figures in the 90-70 win. All time EIU is 6-7 at the Show-Me-Center since it opened in 1987.
