Southeast Missouri State (5-18, 2-8) has struggled to win games for much of the season, minus a recent three-game winning streak back in January. Junior wing Antonius Cleveland has been a bright spot for the Redhawks as he's leading the team in points (14.5 ppg) and rebounds (6.7 rpg).
These two teams play again on Feb. 20 when Eastern Illinois goes on the road and heads to Missouri.
