Evansville was one of those squads, advancing to its second consecutive CBI. The Aces played 32 games in 2011-12 with 21 of those against postseason teams. Thirteen of its opponents also advanced to the postseason. In all, seven of UE’s games came against teams that made it to the NCAA Tournament.
Just The Second Time - In the 2012 Missouri Valley Tournament, the Aces went in as the No. 3 seed, the second-highest ever while advancing to Saturday’s semifinals for just the second time. It was a stark turnaround for a team that entered the tournament with just a 4-17 mark in its previous 17 tries. Evansville began with a 72-64 victory over Missouri State, earning the season sweep of the Bears. The win marked Evansville’s fifth Arch Madness victory. With the three-game sweep of Missouri State, the Aces completed their second ever three-game sweep, the other came in 1999 when UE was a perfect 3-0 over Wichita State.
