Tuesday, December 5th - at home vs Southeast Missouri State at 7 PM
SEMO is currently 4-3, although 2 of those wins are against NAIA teams (Missouri Valley College and Evangel University), so they're 2-3 against DI teams with wins over Saint Francis University (82-50) and Bradley (57-53) and losses to Louisville (80-40), George Mason (57-38), and Southern Illinois (79-74).
