Jet, when my son was an Ace he never won in Carbondale, played on 4 losing teams, and typically played on Thursday night. Sorry, we got to celebrate when we can. I did not expect us to pull this off. Let our 100 students celebrate.

Havoc, so you tell me what does?

Let them enjoy it. Serious question. When was the last time Evansville beat a ranked team at home? I am sure it hasn't been THAT long...just wondering. Did you guys beat Butler at home when they were ranked? Creighton a few years ago?

I don't think Butler was ranked this year when we beat them. I would imagine it was Creighton a few years ago.

Great win Aces. I didn't see the game but why wouldn't CU pound the ball into Echenique? It doesn't sound like they did?

If there was ever a night to celebrate in Evansville, I would think this would qualify.

I can't remember if there was a storming of the court. But I remember one of the first times we beat a ranked team on the "home" floor. It was one of the first times in a LONNNGGGG time. I was pretty damn excited. Oddly enough it was a Creighton team ranked about #12 the year Koch was getting renovated. Evansville deserves to celebrate anyway they see fit.

Sounded like Eville's big man Sawvell had the inside edge tonight.

I think the last time UE beat a ranked team at home was #24 UNI in 2009. Butler was not ranked at the start of this year (or any other time this season)

This is surprising. I thought CU would get this one. Continuing to shoot 3's when they're not falling is EPIC FAIL. Wragge and Manigat a combined 2/11.

I would have felt better about WSU's chances Saturday if CU had won. I don't see CU dropping 3 in a row. Of course, we've got to get by UNI first.
