TERRE HAUTE, IN (SIU ATHLETICS) After a 21-day COVID layoff, and without All-Conference forward Marcus Domask, the SIU men s basketball team took Indiana State to the wire before falling 69-66 on Monday night at Hulman Center.
The Salukis (7-4, 1-4 MVC), who only had one practice with more than six scholarship players available over the last three weeks, took Indiana State s best punches and threw some back.

Filewich earned his first career start on Monday at Indiana State and responded with a career-high 12 points for the Salukis in a 69-66 loss. Filewich, a Winnipeg, Canada, native, went 6-for-7 from the field in 19 minutes and snagged four rebounds. Filewich is shooting 65% in MVC play this season.
Filewich is the second SIU player to earn MVC Newcomer of the Week honors this season, joining
