CHALK TALK In the first-ever meeting between these programs, Eastern Illinois won 44-33 in Charleston, Ill., on Jan. 14. ... UALR can clinch at least a share of the Ohio Valley regular-season title with a win. ... No team has won the Ohio Valley in its first season as a member of the conference. ... The Panthers have lost two consecutive games since starting Ohio Valley play 13-0 -- a run that tied the program's longest winning streak.
