The main time period of concern for freezing rain is Saturday night into Sunday night. Light rain will gradually change over to light freezing rain Saturday night in southeast Missouri, southern Illinois, southwest Indiana, and northwest and far west Kentucky. Light freezing rain will continue into Sunday, although portions of southwest Indiana, southeast Illinois, west Kentucky and far southeast Missouri are expected to change over to rain for a few hours Sunday afternoon. Precipitation will gradually end from northwest to southeast late Sunday afternoon into Sunday night, and any areas of rain will change over to freezing rain before ending. Southern Illinois and areas northwest of a line from Cape Girardeau Missouri to Poplar Bluff may see a tenth to fifteen hundredths of an inch of ice, with the rest of the region receiving a glazing to around 0.05 hundredths of an inch. Depending on temperatures, these amounts will likely be adjusted as the event gets closer. (NWS Paducah)

Girls Basketball | Nashville gets past Sesser-Valier-Waltonville to win regional crown

February 9, 2018 By Leave a Comment

NASHVILLE — Nashville caught the final wave of momentum and rode it to a 46-38 win over Sesser-Valier-Waltonville in the championship game of the Nashville Class 2A girls regional.

After a tight first half, Sesser-Valier-Waltonville put together a 16-0 run in the third quarter to take a 35-27 lead into the fourth quarter. That advantage grew to nine points when Brooke Wilderman canned a trey with 7:09 remaining in the game.

“If you would have told me we’d have Nashville down nine in the fourth quarter I would have taken it,” S-V-W Coach Rick Metcalf said. “We knew they were going to hold their composure. We just had to offset their runs. They made a gigantic run there at the end.”

Paige Tucker led the way for the Lady Devils with 11, and Sami McCowen added 10 on the night.  

Congratulations to the Lady Devils on another fine season, finishing 25-3.  It was two basketball powerhouses battling it out last night.

Illinois State slips past Saluki Men’s Basketball in OT, 76-68

February 9, 2018 By Leave a Comment

By Tom Weber, SIU Sports Information 

NORMAL, Ill. — Illinois State extended its winning streak to four games and moved into a tie with Southern Illinois for second place in the Missouri Valley Conference with a 76-68 overtime win over the Salukis on Thursday night.

The Redbirds (14-11, 8-5) played without injured point guard Keyshawn Evans, and then lost star forward Phil Fayne to an ankle injury late in the game, but still had enough firepower to extend their home winning streak over SIU to 11 games.

ISU’s bench out-scored SIU’s bench, 38-9, as several players deep in the rotation had career nights. Freshman Elijah Clarence had 15 points and juco transfer William Tinsley added 14.

“We wanted to shut down (Milik) Yarbrough, we wanted to shut down Fayne, and those other guys stepped up and give them credit,” said SIU head coach Barry Hinson.

The Salukis (16-10, 8-5) saw their five-game winning streak come to an end and they dropped two games behind Loyola in the league standings with five games left to play. Three players scored 14 points apiece — Sean Lloyd, Armon Fletcher and Kavion Pippen.

Southern will look back at some of the what-ifs late in regulation.

After Illinois State pushed the lead to nine, 50-41, the Salukis countered with a 7-0 run. It started with a conventional three-point play by Fletcher off a fast break. Pippen then a post-up bucket. A steal by Bartley led to a fast break in which Lloyd made the follow-up bucket off a Fletcher missed dunk.

The game was nip-and-tuck the rest of the way. Marcus Bartley’s 3-pointer for SIU cut the deficit to 55-54 with 7:30 to go. The Salukis took their first lead of the second half when Tyler Smithpeters buried a 3-ball to make it 57-56 with 5:14 left.

Meanwhile, the Redbirds were self-destructing on the offensive end of the floor. They committed five turnovers down the stretch, and Yarbrough finished the game with nine turnovers and was pulled for the final three minutes of regulation.

“He was (SIU’s) best player for a stretch there,” deadpanned ISU head coach Dan Muller. “I had to get him out. He was just a turnover machine.”

A layup by Pippen put Southern ahead, 64-61, with 1:26 to go. After Matt Hein turned it over for ISU, the Salukis had a golden opportunity to ice the win, but Armon Fletcher missed a three from the corner with 47 seconds.

Freshman forward Taylor Bruninga converted a conventional three-point play for Illinois State to tie it, 64-64, with 34 seconds left.

On Southern’s next possession, Smithpeters missed everything on a 3-point try, leaving ISU with 4.8 seconds to try to win it in regulation. Clarance dribbled into the front court, had it stripped by Aaron Cook, whose heave at the buzzer nearly went in.

Illinois State scored the first four points of overtime on a N’Diaye free throw and a 3-pointer by Matt Hein. They stretched the lead to six when Hein was fouled on a 3-pointer with 51.9 seconds left and made all three to give ISU a 72-66 lead. The Salukis never came any closer.

“We put ourself in a position to win on the road and they made a big basket,” Hinson said.

“We’re still in second place. Now we need a little help from someone to beat Loyola.”
