Wed, Jan 31st @ 7 pm @ The Ford Center | 6:30 Pregame | vs.
| UIC (8-13, 1-9) @ UE (12-9, 3-7) | Game Coverage | ESPN+ | Live Stats | WJPS 107.1 | The Varsity Network | Opp Msg Board | UIC message board | Comparison | Resume Comparisons | Bart Torvik | haslametrics | Evan Miya haslametrics: UE | haslametrics: UIC Kenpom: UE (226), UIC (195) NET: UE (200), UIC (194) SOS: UE (105), UIC (211)
| In-Game Links | UE Men's Basketball | MVC Standings | Jevin
| Odds | Covers.com | Haslametrics: W 69.39 - 68.78 | Notes | The Flames lone MVC win was over Valpo 70-64. Their last three MVC games were competitive single digit losses, including a 89-83 loss against Indiana State. So, it would be a mistake to take them lightly. In their last game at Belmont, they lost 74-65. UIC is rated above us in both the NET and KenPom ratings (for some unknown reason).
This has the makings of a very close game.
UIC has multiple good three-point shooters (#1 Isaiah Rivera 41.4%, #50 Filip Skobalj 40.7%, CJ Jones 39.3% and four more that generally make at least one three a game between 31% to 38.2%). UIC shoots just 63.2 from the FT line and doesn't get to the line much. |

I am pumped for this game! I have lived in Iowa for 25 years. I have watched 80% of Aces games since they have been on espn+, and listened online before that. I have been to games at UNI and Drake and a game at Illinois State since I have been to one in Evansville, and that was maybe 15 years ago. I will be at the game - my first game in Evansville in a long time and my first at the Ford Center.
Ticket experience: four $7 tickets cost $70 and change on Ticketmaster with fees included. So I went to Carson Center and four $10 tickets cost $40. The fees were more than the tickets online. That seemed almost criminal and I would think that would discourage people from attending the game.

If you were shocked about the ticket fees, wait until you get a $6.00 bottle of water from the Ford Center! That's criminal, too!
Glad you can make the game. Have fun! Let's go, Aces!

...Ben will be on the floor....that is what I am told. That would be awesome. Obviously, he will not be at full strength; but the sooner he is able to play the sooner he can get back to game shape. If there is any question, don't take a chance though.

UIC might be the best MVC last place team in some time. They go 7-4 non conference. Lost at Cincinnati by 11. Haven't lost a game by 20 or more all year. Have positive scoring margin for the season, ours is negative. They are overdue to win a close game, I hope it's not tonight.

I do not understand the money going on UIC for this game. Caesar’s Sportsbook has it as a pick after UE started -1.5. I already have us in a teaser, but if natural or swings to UE plus points, I’m all over it on a parlay.

Ben may be on the bench, but he's not going to play. Medical Redshirt Then it is a lost year. He has played too many games and played too late in the season.

Ben may be on the bench, but he's not going to play. Medical Redshirt The internet is a font of information. According to the NCAA rules, in order to be granted a medical redshirt, the athlete must: Suffer an injury that is deemed “season-ending” Their injury must occur before the halfway point of the season. Not participate in more than 30% of the season's games.
