I say ignore the nay-sayers, smile and say 27-0. All of the talk will be settled in March and April. And when we win in the NCAA's we will have to listen to how we had an easy path to the elite 8 and final 4. But thats ok because our players and coach know they belong, and lets face it, alot of the pundits really don't follow the Valley that close until they follow the teams that get in the tourny

As far as the game I thought Evansville played a very nice game when we didn't force them into turnovers. They are a few pieces away from being a threat with such a young team in Ballentine and Mockevisious. They shoot the ball good, next year they should be much improved. Our guard play today was outstanding, and we needed it, I felt we needed to shoot well today and we did. Our post play wasn't up to par, thought Carter was rushing things on offense, we missed some easy ones first half, gotta clean that up. The last three games we've missed to many bunnies. Our defense was good as far as creating easy points after turn-overs. And 19-20 from the line, fantastic, that will get you wins come tourney time. Good win, pundits will downplay it, because its Evansville, but we all know the Valley is down, but it isn't as bad as they want us to believe. They can keep doubting us and we will keep winning, I can handle that.

Just got back from the game. The Evansville fans that sat around us were not the easiest fans to get along with. The SLU fans earlier this year were excellent. The creighton fans last year in Omaha were... eh, but I didn't feel like getting into a fight with any of them.
First of all, the fans around us were super passionate about travel calls. Like comically passionate about them. On both sides. I thought there were definitely missed travel calls in the first half, but these people were standing up and signaling travel for both teams multiple times.
Then when Nick Wiggins was shoved out of bounds and he hit his head on a table along the sideline several of us stood up because we wanted to see if he was seriously hurt. This EU fan behind us shouted "Oh, get up you big cry baby." Before I had a chance to say anything, another Evansville fan turned around and said "Seriously?! The dude just hit his head..." So... thanks, guy.
In the last few minutes, though, emotions were starting to get the best of some of them. I clapped after FVV hit a free throw and this guy turned around and said "Give it a rest. You've already won the game." When the fans behind the bench were clapping toward the end of the game, he said "Jeez. it's like it's their first win." My wife said "it's our 27th..." The same guy at the final buzzer turned around and said "Maybe in the future you can afford to sit over there with the rest of your fans." I said "no joke. I got 8th row seats at center court for 20 bucks a piece." I didn't inform him what 20 bucks will get you in wichita.
The arena wasn't bad, though.

The Shockers were the first story tonight on espn's 10pm Sports Center! A lot of Van Vleet and Baker. They even talked about how smart Marshall is (knowing things like there are 27 bones in your hand). They talked pretty glowing about the Shockers win.
