After a win over UIC they have lost three games by under eleven points (@ SIU 69-75; Missouri State 70-81; and at Drake 70-81). They have also won at Illinois State 59-50.
They are led by 6'2" Jr. Isaiah Stafford: 17.5 ppg, 3.9 rpg, 2 apg; and 6'9" Fr. Cooper Schwieger: 11.4 ppg, 5.7 rbg; 6'5" So. Jaxon Edwards (7.9 ppg, 5.4 rpg; 6'1" Fr. Jahari Williamson: 9.0 ppg and 40% from 3; and 6'0" Jr. PG Darius Deaveiro: 8.9 ppg, 5.4 apg.
They are a younger guard-oriented team. |

It would be really nice to see us win in convincing fashion with Ben back.

Evansville opens at -1 via DraftKings (O/U 144.5)
I quote the great Lou Brown from the movie Major League:
"We won a game yesterday. If we win today, it's called "two in a row". And if we win again tomorrow, it's called a "winning streak"... It has happened before!"
GO ACES!

Direct link to the Valpo board game thread: www.valpofanzone.com/forum/index.php?PHPSESSID=96afebf4c0f54a7cceffea80115f098d&topic=4636.0Interesting that Valpo fans are picking Valpo in a close one and UE fans are picking us in a close one. I think Ben makes the difference in this game with his teammates stepping up as well. Should be close because it is a road game but I see us pulling away at the end. (Obviously that is assuming Ben plays, no injuries or major foul trouble). Go team.

BHum played in the last game against Valpo but only scored 7 points. I suspect he will do better and hopefully all the teammates will step up as well. I think UE is hard to beat when they’re firing on all cylinders.

Toumi and Strawbridge both with bad turnovers in the opening minutes, forcing it when it’s not there. Those lost possessions hurt.

Valpo has 6 points off of our TO's. I think they were 3 ptrs.

It looked like Josh was playing with one shoe off there before that timeout but could have been imagining it. Up 28-25 with 2:14 to go after another poor start got us in a 10-2 hole to start the game.

Strawbridge, Bobe, and Thomas can't be on the floor at the same time.

Surprised they didn’t stop play after Aces got the ball with Hughes with one shoe
