We lost both games to Drake this year. A 48-97 beatdown in Des Moines on January 20th. Ben did not play in this game. Chuck started in his place but only played 13 minutes due to foul trouble (four fouls). Then on Feb 13th at the Ford Center we almost pulled off the impossible but lost on a last second shot 75-78. Tanner and Ben both hit big three pointers in the last 20 seconds to eventually tie it at 75 with four seconds left before a Bulldog three pointer at the buzzer. |

Here's hoping our Aces get their shooting percentages up and play loose. The 7-game losing streak is over. Go Aces!

As far as postseason play goes, do we have to win today? We are 16-16 currently but one win was over non-D1 UHSP - so I doubt they (postseason tournaments) count that game. Obviously we have to win out for the NCAA tournament but if we don’t, how many wins do we need to be eligible for other postseason options? Seems like we need this one today to get to .500 and be eligible for some (or possibly all) postseason tournaments.

The strictly do not count for net or other rating systems, but those won’t factor into the pay for play tourneys, Some post season tournaments I think you need at least a .500 record (not 100% on which ones). So that implies that we still likely have to win today to be eligible even if they count the UHSP game. |

I like the energy the team had last night and with the fan support hope they bring it again tonight. For us it is another game, but for our Seniors, each game from here on out may be their last college game. Appreciate them for what they have done at UE.
Bobe -- if you polled all the team, they would tell you what a great teammate Bobe has been. He represents me as a fan...that is, he has been through all the crap over the past 5 years and I've never heard him complain. He had a key spin move drive last night for 2 late in the game.
Kenny and Yacine - each took a chance with Rags and helped us in the rebuild process. We get on Yacine occasionally for the turnovers, but look at the FG% improvement -- .396 last year to .531 this season while grabbing 6.3 rpg. He picked us up early last night. Kenny is smooth on defense and when he brings the energy, the other players respond. If you watch the video clip posted on the Ill State thread by AustinAce, you see Kenny get in the face of Illinois State's #0 Kasubke -- love that.
Antonio - only a year with us, good moments were there, but occasionally seemed to disappear. Let's hope he brings it tonight and if the game is on the line late, you want him at the charity stripe.

I think we were capable of more in conference play during the regular season, but tonight is our chance to prove that to the entire conference.
These are the games that matter most, so let's get behind the team and see how far we can take this thing!

Really nice Drake crowd at ballpark village. I think they’ll have the crowd advantage but I hope I’m wrong
