Evansville at Illinois Chicago (Wednesday, Nov 23rd)

Pretty easy to call this the ugliest game of the season for the Valley so far.

I dunno....SIU losing to Ohio Dominican has to be up there.

Good point. I meant to write:

Pretty easy to cal lthis the ugliest D1 game of the season for the Valley so far. The "D1" qualifier got lost somewhere between my thoughts and the keyboard.

Aces.....welcome back to the Abyss.

The bigger issue is that Bradley wasn't highly regarded by many of the pundits whereas Evansville was expected to have a breakout season.

The Wofford loss was worse IMO because Bradley lost that game at home.

This loss, while still really bad, was at least on the road....

While it was technically a road game for the Aces, from the looks of it, if there were 200 people in the stands I would be surprised. Not exactly a hostile environment.

Yeah, I'd probably call it neutral site. There were a ton of empty seats at UIC. SIU's loss to Dominicana whatever was bad but atleast it didn't "count" as far as RPI.

I think I'm going to be sick.

I just hope we get better for the next one.

wow......

Wofford was a back to back NCAA tournament qualifier. Wofford may not be quite the same, but I would be willing to bet they are a better team than UIC this year.

I'm trying to figure out how a 4.5 point favorite at tip can become the worst loss this year. It's not like we were some big favorite. But whatever.

As I said earlier in this thread, it would not surprise me to see us lose this game. WInning on the road is hard to do in college basketball no matter who you play. Granted, we played bad, real bad and when they shoot the way they did from 3 that combination is not going to be good.
