Top Teams Play Great Basketball Event
by OneFuddyDuddy on 11/7/17Ford Center - EvansvilleThe eight teams included the best of D-II, including 3 of the preseason top ten and 5 of top 25. Add in perennial highly rated USI and the #2 rated D-III team, and you had some great match ups. Five of the eight games were decided by five or less points, with really exciting finishes. If you are a college basketball fan, you missed a great weekend of early season basketball. I was personally disappointed by the local area fan support. Evansville formerly was a great basketball city. However, the actual attendance for games, not featuring USI or Kentucky Wesleyan, was less than 200. The out of town teams had to be dismally disappointed at the very low attendance. You do not need to be "fan" of a specific team to enjoy the play of great basketball teams. Hopefully, next year will show better attendance for this great showcase of basketball teams!
