Far from our best performance. But ANOTHER double digit win and ANOTHER team held under 60 points. That is 10 straight games holding an opponent under 60. We should be ranked in the AP poll tomorrow.

Unfortunately, Drake did not hold up its end of the bargain. Still a huge showdown next week. Hope we have Quise back in good health.

Huge credit to Evansville. They know what they are and play to their strengths. They play solid D, muck things up and have a few guys that can hit from deep. Givance is a hell of a player--hope is OK. I peg them as a solid middle of the pack team behind us, Drake and ISUb, which is obviously a major improvement over 0-18.

Oh my. Glad we escaped the traps.

Drake has a game midweek to hopefully take their anger out on UNI.

Next weekend's GoRamblers Bowl is HUGE

Well another win is a win game. Tip of the cap to Evansville for a strong showing this weekend, that is a scrappy team that is tough to play against. We certainly looked flat in the second half, hopefully we see more focus going forward. Nice to win by double digits again, any help for NET and KenPom is good. Norris and Uguak played great and made shots when needed, and Krut with a typical strong game, they had no answer for him. Clemons continues to be a gamer, hopefully we won’t see him foul out at the end of games coming up because he is clutch and will be needed to help close out games. Ramblers took care of business this weekend, which is all we can ask for.

Curious to see Drake’s response against UNI this week, am still excited for the weekend series even if some of the luster is gone with Drake getting smoked by Valpo. Let’s go take the Valley next weekend.

Agreed with everything that has been said.

Only 4 bench points, all from Baylor. Partially due to Marquise out, partially due to Porter relying a lot more on the starters it feels like. Tate, Welch, and Coop didn’t get a lot of run. Really hope Tate gets out of this slump, or else we need Marquise to come back at full strength sooner than later.

Aher finishes with 14 points, 11 rebounds, and was 8/10 from the line. Great all around performance.

Both games in this series were much closer than the scores suggest. Evansville was impressive, not sure that we would have won both games if this game was away. But we won both games by double digits, and Drake finally lost one. I think we will be ranked tomorrow, and that will be really nice. I would be content with a one-and-one split next weekend. It will be very interesting. Norris, Uguak, Clemons and Krutwig had excellent games today. I hope we put in a lot of practice for the Drake series and keep up the momentum.

If we ever schedule an exhibition game against the Cook County Jail Vocational Training Institute's Ragin' Recidivists, can I call it the Swellafelon Bowl?

AP Top 25 tomorrow? If so that is huge. When was the last time that happened during the regular season?

I’m with Brot. This teams outstanding, no complaints from me. Credit Evansville, they play an eye gougingly painful brand of basketball to watch but it’s also hard to defend.

Aher was outstanding, Braden was tough as nails, Lucas was picking pockets and Keith was extremely clutch late. Oh and Cam Krutwig... enough said.
