The Salukis also crashed the boards in the second half to double up MSU's total at 24 to 12, giving them a 43-35 margin on the afternoon.

Jacksonville fell in a close matchup to Ohio Valley Conference opponent Tennessee State 64-61 Thursday night. The Dolphins finished the game shooting 38.8 from the field.
