A match-up of coaches (Ryan Pedon, David Ragland) who are in their first year at their school, and the Purple Aces are going retro this weekend and donning the sleeves.
Evansville is led in scoring by Kenny Strawbridge (16.1) and Yacine Toume (10.7). They shoot under 30% from three-point land, but are solid on the offensive glass (not so much on the defensive side). Their assist to turnover ratio is not good.
The Aces are 4-12 overall, 0-5 in conference. The teams have four common opponents and have both lost to all of them (Ball State, Indiana State, Murray State, Northern Iowa). UE's best victory is over Robert Morris (236). They draw better than we do, with their worst crowd being 3,756 (Southeast Missouri State).
If this game was at the friendly confines of CEFCU Arena, I would feel pretty good about righting the ship; at the Ford Center, it seems like more of a toss-up.
