Former Saluki returns to Carbondale


A familiar face returns to the southern illinois saluki mens basketball program.
Marcus Belcher is hired to fill the vacancy created when Rodney Watson took over at Southern Indiana.

Belcher was a point guard for the Salukis when they made the 2002 run to the sweet 16 under then hed coach Bruce Weber. In two seasons playing for SIU he scored 350 points in 66 games.
Last season he was an assistant at Missouri Valley Conference rival Evansville.

SIU's program now has four former players on its six-man coaching staff including Belcher, Chris Lowery, Brad Korn and Tony Young.
