Change the subject all you want but this was Marty's most successful year at Evansville and once again he couldn't put the Aces in a respectable postseason tournament due, mostly, to the resume they finished the season with.
If there is any truth to this statement then perhaps it does suggest that the UE administration is the one who doesn't understand that Quantity of Wins =/= NCAA/NIT. (Quantity of) Quality Wins = NCAA/NIT.

I am not going to defend the schedule but will simply point out that the Aces did play at Arkansas and in tournament play versus Providence & a decent UC-Irvine team. The Aces simply didn't have that one quality win to hang their hat on. They were a good consistent team for the most part but simply not a real good team and lacked a single high quality opponent win. It is too bad that 4 of the 5 key Valley losses were close games with only the loss at home to WSU being a stinker. On the other side UE only had one bad defeat that was to ISUb and on that day ISUb might have beaten WSU as they were on fire from the 3 point line.

Two wins would have put it in the 70s and UE would have then had a 26-7 record and likely been out. The Aces probably needed four more wins in conference giving them a 16-2 record in conference and 28-5. Another way to state the argument for scheduling would be to say, "we don't care about our regular season record and it's all about 3 in a row in St Louis."
