We should win this game, UIC just lost to Quincy 65-61.

This is a must win for Evansville and the valley

UE has not been a great road team the last few years. Lets hope they can try and turn that around this year. If they are ever going to finish in the top 4 they must learn how to win on the road.

Can we be done with saying games are must wins? Isn't all games that you should win a must win?

This is definitely the easiest road game on our schedule. Miami (OH) appears to be good with the close game they had with Xavier, UNC is quite possibly better than the 09 championship team, and every conference road game is difficult due to familiarity. I agree with 1982 in that if we have aspirations to finish in the top 4 winning convincingly tomorrow would be a good place to start. Hopefully Denver is fully healthy and can start, their leading scorer looks like a guy he would guard.

No, they isn't (I wanted to speak Indiana'an too

).

That being said, games against teams that lost to a D2 (or whatever the heck classification Quincy belongs to) are absolute must wins.

By saying that, then every game against SIU is a must win. I've got news for you, SIU will not go 0-18.

Are you afraid Evanville is going to lose to them?

Lose to whom? SIU or UIC? They could easily lose to both. If you have not noticed UE is not the best road team.

If you ever think your team has a for sure win on the road, then you have not been around college basketball very long or watch this conference very much.

I would like to hope they can win both but an L would not surprise me.
