Snow strands Southern Illinois on side of highway for several hours

It wasn't an ideal Sunday for the Southern Illinois men's basketball team. First, the Salukis lost at Illinois State by 18 points, their third loss in a row.

The bigger issue, though: the team's bus got stranded on Interstate 57 in Illinois for nearly six hours, from Sunday night into Monday morning.

According to The Southern, the bus got stuck in the snow – and since only emergency travel was allowed on the highway, no cars or tow trucks were able to get to them for several hours.
