Only game between SIU and the Purple Aces this season comes in Evansville on Sunday.
Evansville has had an up and down season. They started the year 10-2 before losing 7 of their next 8. They then rattled off 4 wins in a row including a home win over Bradley but have since lost 4 in a row.
The Aces are 14-6 when Ben Humrichous plays and before the current 4 game losing streak, they were 14-2 when he played. The Aces went 2-7 in the 9 games he missed in the middle of the conference season. Yacine Toumi and Freshman Chuck Bailey lead the Aces in possessions and shots.

Didn’t want to start the UNI thread way early, but if you haven’t seen it yet, all seats for the last home game all $10! Damn good deal, hopefully they can get a sellout for the seniors. If I didn’t have family stuff that weekend I would be there! Hopefully if you were on the fence this makes your decision easier!
I looked into driving over from Chester to Evansville (the one in Indiana, not the one in Randolph County) but $20 in Ticketmaster fees for a $12 ticket is stupid.
Pearl Jam was right about that company. It would have been nice to see Ford Center in person as I haven't been over there since it opened, but I'm not going to pay $20 in Ticketmaster fees for it.
Hearing we could be without Rupert tomorrow.
Wow! I take it Rupert came down with Covid

Couldn’t you just drive there and get tickets from the window?
This has another nerveracking, tight game written all over it. Buckle up. Or stay buckled.
And keep Toumi off the offensive glass.
Looking at Aces home record,I would think they would be slight favorites with the betting money.
Go Dawgs!
Pregame pictures show Rupert being dressed and ready to play but don't know availability for sure

Wouldn’t the fees get charged regardless?
Edit: apparently not, but that doesn’t change the point that Ticketmaster is ridiculous with some of their surcharges.
Get ready for XJ to have a big game, both scoring AND distributing the ball.
Of all the renditions of the national anthem ever sung, this game had one of them.
