Maryland up big early on Uconn, but in a weird sort of way I would like a shot at them in the tourney. Fred would take that shitty smirk/sneer right off Trimble's face.

Evansville now down 15. Ballentine 1 for 8. Mock pretty much on his own.

Arkansas bench has outscored Evansville bench 34-0.

Minnesota lost to South Dakota State 84-70. Have a father and son ever both lost their jobs in the same season?

[ShockerFever]

Arkansas sucks.

Evansville sucks more.

If there's one thing Marty Simmons can do, it's build an unproductive bench.

Game over. Bench scoring 40-2. The 2 came on free throws.

Didn't we talk about this when Balentine and Mock both played 35 plus in a 30+ point exhibition beat down?

Yep.

When one of them goes down, it's game over Evansville.

I missed the annual "We're 7-1 and going to win the league", "ahh crap we played someone with a pulse we will finish .500" game?

Dang. Always one of my favorites.

As an Aces fan, I had to log in and like this post because I'm so sick and tired of no bench depth year after year for the Aces.

Thank you!

I am a big MVC fan in general and I secretly have a big soft spot for the Aces and I am amazed and frustrated that in all these years between Colt Ryan, to Balentine and Mock, there was never that feeling that the program was really turning a corner. Evansville should be a special kind of team this season. I'm still crossing my fingers. Two of the best players around are on that team and they deserve something to show for their careers. Consider me a closet fan this year. Sorry to my fellow Shockers but those two kids have been fantastic for the MVC and I hate to see them go quietly.

Thaaat has always been an Evansville problem, decent starting 5, usually a couple of stellar type players but no, and I mean no bench. And it shows in these type of games where you play teams with some decent depth and you get exposed. They will still be tough at home if Ballentine is on, and Mock stays on the court.

Well, it's certainly appreciated, we'll take all the fans we can get. But yeah, it is unbelievably frustrating to have guys of their caliber and still not even be in the running for the NCAA year after year. Hopefully we can figure it out this year. But it's the depth that's the problem.

I'm def a WSU fan as well, so I'm pulling for you guys to get healthy and have your two super seniors go out with a bang, along with our two great seniors and a very solid, always hustling Adam Wing.
