Was that a flop by Gage? We will take the call as that was a mismatch with him on #50.

Great pass by Yacine to Antoinio on the back door cut to the basket.

UIC is not bad. This could be a close one. Up 43-38 at the 15:25 timeout. Without Ben I'm not sure we win this game; with him I like our chances.

In other news, the other Bobe (Ella) with 23 points as South Knox beats Eastern Greene 68-39. Hopefully she comes to UE. Would really help the Lady Aces. Not sure what year she is without checking though.

Tied 45 all as UIC has upped the annie and Ben has been resting. Josh, Chuck and Cam with zero points so far. Really need at least one of those to step up.

Rough few minutes there.. I could use one or two ONB 3's from Ben during his next playing stretch

Evansville is definitely a complete different team with Big Ben. His is unrealistic. Glad he's back!

Man, it's great to have Ben back. Up 59-48 now with 7:29 to go on another three by Ben.
Ben with 15 points, 5 rebounds, four assists in 22 minutes.
If we win, the belt has to go to him or Tanner.

Good play by Yacine for two. He wouldn't have made that shot last year. If he could only make a FT and cut down on his turnovers.
15 points and five rebounds and some good defensive plays. But five turnovers and 1-5 from the charity stripe.
