Evansville getting destroyed at Duke. Currently 74-21 with about 16 minutes left in the game.

Final score, in a game I'm sure Evansville would like to forget-
Evansville 40
Duke 104

Evansville still playing without their top 2 scorers Ryan Taylor and Dru Smith.

The 64 point margin was the 4th largest margin of victory by Duke under Coach Mike Krzyzewski. Coach K tends to try to avoid running up the score.

Former Bradley recruit Micah Bradford got a lot of chance for playing time with Burton & Walker out...
He went 0-10 from the 3-pt arc and 1-11 overall- he also fouled out

Valpo was 17-31 inside the arc but 4-32 outside the arc

Coach K tends to try to avoid running up the score.

Sure didn't feel that way last night for my Aces. Had many starters on the floor with about 8 minutes left, although when you look at the box score nobody played more than 25 minutes from what I can tell. Tough one for my Aces though, but with 3 starters and first guy off the bench not playing, sure didn't expect much.

Not sure how smart it was for Marty to schedule their 1 good non-conference game on the road 3 days before Valley play starts. I guess better than playing another game against Oakland City and Midway. At least the check will help ease the trip home.
