Boyle, Dillard lead Salukis to 5 seed

Playing in his final game at SIU Arena, Tony Boyle made sure to make it a memorable one. Kevin Dillard, a freshman, will have many more games in Carbondale over his career. But that didn't stop him from making it memorable as well. Boyle (pictured right) and Dillard combined to score 41 points to lead the Salukis to a 72-68 win over Wichita State on Senior Night.
