Southern Indiana men’s basketball played and ultimately fell in both of their exhibition games against Indiana and Tennessee, but the Eagles program made the most of the two trips. The beneficial qualities of the exhibition contests weren’t just noticed on the court either, but in the pocketbook as well. The men’s basketball program gained $10,000 for each game in guarantees agreed upon before the contest from both IU and UT.

The Eagles were never able to get their offense going, falling to Tennessee 78-47.
