A home and home series with Evansville is a golden opportunity to get to 4-3 in the conference and take a step in avoiding Thursday night in St. Louis. Evansville has lost their last 2 games by a total of 61 points. Splitting these 2 games would not be good for turning the program around.

We should win these games. But after listening to @MarchArchPod I'm scared that UE is going to beat SOMEONE this season in conference and that it will be us when we go over there. But I agree, we have to go 2-0 this weekend.

Does Freeman start and Jo move back to his sixth man role?
Freeman took some big steps forward as far as shaking off some rust during the Mo State game. The best version of this team is when Strong is the 6th man. That's not a knock on him at all, he still plays starters minutes off the bench. The bench just needs an offensive spark. Liam and Ryan provide a decent defensive spark but bring practically nothing on the offensive side.

As others have said, a sweep here takes a step toward avoiding Thursday. A split probably guarantees they'll be playing Thursday.

This game will be a blood bath. ISU by 20+. The game on the road may be a little more interesting but we should win. Evansville is bad.

The Aces really don't have a post man. Depending on their 3s makes...we may play a smaller line up.

Well I did say makes...however, we have seen teams shoot well above their average against us. Hope that they won't do that on the road. Assume we will pound it inside to encourage their help defense and kick out to our guards to for 3s. Reeves is due for a big night.
