What to Know

The Evansville Aces have been on the wrong side of a one-way rivalry with the Indiana State Sycamores and are hoping to record their first win since March 2 of 2017. Evansville and Indiana State will face off in a Missouri Valley battle at 7 p.m. ET Wednesday at Hulman Center. The Sycamores should still be feeling good after a victory, while Evansville will be looking to get back in the win column.

2022 "welcomed" Evansville with an 83-61 beatdown courtesy of the Northern Iowa Panthers on Sunday. Guard Blaise Beauchamp (14 points) and forward Evan Kuhlman (12 points) were the top scorers for Evansville.

Meanwhile, the Bradley Braves typically have all the answers at home, but on Sunday Indiana State proved too difficult a challenge. Indiana State secured a 76-71 W over Bradley. Indiana State got double-digit scores from four players: guard Cooper Neese (19), guard Micah Thomas (18), forward Kailex Stephens (14), and guard Zach Hobbs (14).

Evansville is expected to lose this next one by 6. Those betting on them against the spread shouldn't have high expectations for them since the squad is 2-5 ATS when expected to lose.

The Aces came up short against the Sycamores when the two teams previously met in March of last year, falling 53-43. The defeat knocked Evansville out of the playoffs, so expect them to come at Indiana State with a vengeful fire.
