CARBONDALE, Ill. (AP) Kennard Davis scored 23 points as Southern Illinois beat UIC 79-67 on Saturday.

Davis also contributed five rebounds for the Salukis (12-13, 7-7 Missouri Valley Conference). Drew Steffe shot 5 of 7 from the field, including 4 for 5 from 3-point range, and went 6 for 9 from the line to add 20 points. Damien Mayo Jr. shot 3 of 5 from the field and 5 of 5 from the free-throw line to finish with 11 points.

Tyem Freeman finished with 12 points and three steals for the Flames (15-10, 7-7). Ahmad Henderson II added 12 points and two steals for UIC. Modestas Kancleris also had eight points and four blocks.

Up next for Southern Illinois is a Wednesday matchup with Bradley on the road, and UIC visits Murray State on Tuesday.
