Men's Basketball

Support the Saluki Men's Basketball Program

10 NCAA TOURNAMENT APPEARNACES | 3 SWEET SIXTEENS | 13 OVERALL MVC TITLES

Whether it’s winning the 1967 NIT Championship, earning regular season conference titles or hoisting the trophy at Arch Madness, success is ingrained in Saluki Men’s Basketball. We’ve sent nine players to the NBA, including Hall of Famer Walt Frazier. Many others have gone on to careers in coaching, including our own Bryan Mullins.

When our team succeeds, the university prospers. This program has an impact that reaches far beyond the walls of Banterra Center. We earn national recognition, and across the country, people learn about the Salukis. A winning men’s basketball team is one of the university’s best recruiting tools. To help our program grow and thrive, we must depend on passionate investors.

We need private support to fund initiatives that contribute to the program’s success and build awareness and pride for Southern Illinois University Carbondale.
