Southeast Missouri State Redhawks at Southern Indiana Screaming Eagles
· NCAA Men's Basketball
81 - 86
Polakovich carries S. Indiana past SE Missouri State
The 26 rebounds were one short of the USI single-game record (27 by Aaron Nelson versus Kentucky State University December 7, 2013) and is the first 20-20 game by an Eagle since Emmanuel Little had 29 points, 21 rebounds versus Missouri University of Science & Technology January 18, 2018.
The 20-20 outing also is the first in the Ohio Valley Conference since Austin Peay’s Terry Taylor (26 points and 23 rebounds versus Belmont University) and Tennessee-Martin’s Quintin Dove (26 points and 20 rebounds versus Southern Illinois University Edwardsville) reached the feat in the 2019-20 season.
Polakovich’s 26 rebounds also is the most in an OVC contest since before the 2002-03 campaign.
Isaiah Swope added 18 points for the Screaming Eagles (8-6).
Chris Harris led the way for the Redhawks (5-9) with 16 points, nine rebounds and two steals.
