The Salukis (11-10, 6-4) are all alone in 3rd place in the MVC, only one game behind Illinois State for 2nd, but in order to move up they'll have to win road games down the stretch. Standing in the way of the Salukis are the UNI Panthers (13-8, 5-5) who sport the MVC's top scoring defense, only allowing 57.9 ppg and holding opponents to just 37% shooting.
For the Salukis to win on the road they will need more scoring punch than they displayed in their 48-44 home victory over Creighton. Enter Joshua Bone. Bone hasn't been hitting from long range lately but he's still the best 3 point option for the Salukis. Bone's ability to stretch the defense with the 3-ball could be the difference between a win and a loss on Saturday (7pm on Fox Sports Midwest).
In the interview below, Joshua talks about his confidence shooting, playing alongside Bryan Mullins, and what it will take to win a close game on the road.
