Evansville Aces at UNI Panthers (Sun, Jan 1st)

Wow, the valley is imploding, can u say 2 bids? Last week, looked like 4 was a real possibility...

Very proud of the Aces! It wasn't always pretty but they showed a lot of heart and played tough down the stretch. Colt was money from the line.

Colt Ryan definitely proving that he's an All-Valley player in this one.

I bet he still ends up hitting his PPG avg, of course by that time, they'll be all garbage points. What a shocker.

Care to retract?

Weems had 25 points after halftime against CU and I was super impressed. Just a couple of days later, Ryan one-ups him with 29 second half points!

Valley is going to be crazy this year.

Colt 27 points, 7 boards, 5 assist and 3 steals...lol.

Big win. Even with this, UNI had no inside game. Our next game, WSU....they do. That will be a tall task to pull that one off.

Pretty nice game for Ryan. Great start for the Purple Aces.

That may have been a bit premature.

Nope. 14 free throws, mostly in garbage time. But who would've thought that it was garbage time in an Aces win??!?!?!?!?!?!?!!1

Predictions:

1.) A lot more Aces fans will be posting on MVCfans this week.
2.) Northern Iowa may not be quite as good as their record indicates.

Regardless, this was another poor result for the Valley. A near 200 RPI team is now tied for first in the conference. Definitely a two-bidder now, if we're lucky.

But of course, this is only game 2. A couple of particular Aces fans rather chirpy tonight. We'll see how long that lasts.

Do garbage points not count? Has Wichita not ever gotten garbage points? Don't hold your breath on a retraction.

Isn't it a strange twist of fate that the Black and Yellow visit the Purple and White this week? You'd think someone intelligently designed the schedule.
