Kathi Bennett interviews for Southern Illinois vacancy

April 22, 2009 By WRN Contributor

Kathi Bennett Wisconsin women's basketball assistant Kathi Bennett has interviewed for the head-coaching vacancy at Southern Illinois University this week. 

The Southern Illinois job is open after Dana Eikenberg resigned April 9 after five seasons at the school and a 53-92 overall record. 

Bennett has largely been responsible for helping bolster the Badgers defense.  The Badgers held opponents to 39.3% from the field last season, down from 41.6% two years ago.  Two seasons ago, Badger opponents averaged 66.9 points a game.  That number dropped to 56.6 points a game last season.

The Badgers were picked to finish 10th in the 11-team Big Ten Conference last season but finished 7th.  They reached the semifinals of the Big Ten Tournament and received a bid to the Women's National Invitation Tournament, falling to St. Bonaventure in the 3rd round.
