The interesting thing about Evansville is it’s not like they don’t have talent on that team. I’m not trying to erase the fact that we blew a 22 point lead, which is inexcusable, but they are not bad as much as they have been through a tremendously exhausting, rollercoaster season. The fact that they were able to dig themselves out of a hole like that says just as much about them, as it doesn’t about us blowing the lead. I still think they get a win or two before the end of the regular season.
They are a dangerous team now because they pretty much don’t have any pressure on them. They have enough talent to play spoiler with Drake, UNi and SIU left. I’m really hoping they do something big in the next five games.
Exactly right, and a reason why some of us had heartburn going into the game. They have talent, enough talent that they beat Kentucky, at Kentucky. Then their program went into complete chaos. But that talent really didn’t leave. They’ve played a few close games, including overtime with SIU and a pretty tight game with UNI, and it seems inevitable that eventually they’re going to bite someone. I’m just relieved it wasn’t us last night.
