Butler at Evansville

by **MVCfans** » November 12th, 2011, 9:28 am

Tonight's matchup was second on my list of the significant games of the weekend. It would be a great to see the Valley get another boost with a victory over a well regarded team. Missouri State did it last night - can the Aces do it tonight?

The Ford Center should be packed. Been sold out for weeks, and second-hand tickets have been very hard to come by.

I think Evansville has a shot to win this one. Playing at home in a new arena should help. I remember a few years ago when we had our home opener and first game in our new arena. We played Arkansas that year and pulled out a win. And we were horrible that year.

I'm sure that Butler will remember last year, and will be pumped. It won't be easy as our #5 guys, while good, are very inexperienced.

I think Evansville wins. Still hoping to see the sleeved uniforms too!

Offense started to go south for Evansville at the end of the half. Decent looking shots not falling.
