UE/Drake

[IlliBraves]

Good game.
At the half: UE 36, Drake 31

Korver is a beast! I've really been impressed with the way Evansville can rebound the basketball. This team may be better than what I thought they would be. Still not sure if I'd say they're a valley contender, but then again, as last night's game has proven, the valley is wide open.

Drake went cold, and Evansville has put this game away.

Evansville leads 74-52 with 4 minutes left.

Does this mean that Evansville is a top team in the valley?

Currently, yes.

I just think that it proves how hard it is to win on the road in the valley.

Maybe they all finish 9-9.

That would be crazy!!!

Evansville was definitely better than I thought, and Drake played far worse than I've seen them play all season (maybe Evansville had something to do with that). In previous years, Strickland has done nothing against the Bulldogs, he was a beast yesterday.

Anslinger must drool at the thought of playing Drake....14-18 from 3-pt range in the last 2 games between the two teams.

Webster is a handful, and he gets away with more stuff than anybody else in the league. He's a master at initiating contact when the refs aren't looking and going to the foul line when they see the retaliation. But, he really didn't do much of that yesterday....didn't really have to.
