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

[Ace Dad]

The Aces will have to shoot the outside shot well and the Panthers are going to have to play uncharacteristically poorly for us to pull this one out.

Well that seems like a little large of a spread considering how we have played the last two games.

Not sure if it has been mentioned yet, but the game will be on ESPNU at 8pm (central) tonight.

I'm a little worried as we have not played well of late, and Evansville can be a dangerous team. We really need Jake Koch to play like he did against Iowa and UW-Milwaukee. It would also be nice if our 3s aren't going in if we would feed it to Pehl and Tuttle inside for a change. Let's Go Panthers!

I can see this game being fairly close. One of UE's biggest weakness is no big man/rebounding and this is not one of UNI's strengths. I believe the game will be determined if UE can close out on UNI's shooters or not. If they do, UE will be right there. If they don't UNI will get lots of open looks and it could be a double digit victory.

holy cow, you can sure tell it's X-mas break at UNI, there is NOONE at this game.

UNI leads 13-2. Since I picked UE with the points, it will almost certainly be a UNI blowout.
