Evansville at UNIDome - 7pm

[pafan]

Yes, UNI fans, I know that you don't play hoops at the UNIDome. Still the best stadium name in the MVC.

With UNI and Evansville projected to finish in the 4, 5, 6 spots, the winner here gets an early leg up on the higher finish.

UNI is -6 in Vegas.

You got me feeling all nostalgic... The Dome wasn't a good basketball facility, but I have fond memories of games there.

UNI really needs to defend the home court tonight.

[sixth ace]

If UE is going to break away from the pack they need this win to tie up MSU for 3rd in the Valley. I think it's going to go down to the wire with UE getting the win by 4

UE 61
UNI 57

If Tuttle and Sonnen, who I consider our two best players, continue to dominate than I like our chances. Our new lineup we are using with three bigs I think is finally allowing us to play a little more from the inside out rather than the other way around. UNI by 6 in a close game that is closed out by free throws

I'm all nostalgic too. In the depths of the Sam Weaver era I remember going to games with 500 of my closest friends.

There was a 5 year period where we could walk in at tip time and sit 5 rows up at half court and not really have anybody around us. The atmosphere was awesome...

As for tonight. I think UNI woke up Saturday night. We get to 2-2 and Colt isn't getting 29 in the 2nd half this time. I see a tight game with Tuttle having a big night again.

UNI 64
UE 57
