Week 1 Games

[Dawgbit]

Its only one conference game, but I'm buying stock in Drake - they are legit.

I recommend buying March call options.

SIU led the whole way but it was a really ugly game. Evansville plays tough and shoots/hits a lot of 3's.

Evansville will NOT go winless this year. Hoping that doesn’t begin tomorrow. Salukis were flat today and cold today.

Hope you are right but we have a familiar issue on the UE basketball team. Our best player(s) are seeing more minutes on the bench than on the floor, while the players getting the most minutes on the floor are not producing at the level necessary to win at the Mid-major level.

Announcers were wondering why Curtis was not playing more minutes. They chalked it up to "cohesion". Cohesion is worthless when you are 2-5 and have lost 21 in a row in the MVC.

I was kind of scratching my head on that as well when I heard that; I didn't know he was the Mr Basketball from Ohio. If you don't start him, does that just make him want to transfer?

He has played 3 games this season! A little premature worrying about him starting or transferring.

You aren't kidding the Salukis were flat! Give the Aces credit for hanging tough and not reading the press clippings. Going into this series, I wasn't the least bit nervous. Consider me nervous for tonight.

[saluki bob]

Hats off to the Aces tonight. They totally smoked the beloved with 17 3's! Hope to the Lord that there is no reference to Floorburn U as this team is lightyears away from that title!

Last year's 0-18 squad knocks off unbeaten SIU. As a former coach of the Salukis once said...."It's the Valley!"

[AcesAces]

That is what I mean. Let the kid play. UE has a player that will cause a lot of problems for defenses in the MVC. If rest of the team steps up, UE will be fun to watch and will be decent. No championship, but no 0-18 either.

[Eville Ways]

Based on the results in Carbondale, the Aces are looking like a .500 team in the Valley. We have experience, poise, shooting, and now a guy who can create his own shot in Samari Curtis. Still no front line to speak of, and the turnovers still need work. But this is the sixth game in a row I thought we looked better than the previous game.
