Sorry, this deserved its own thread. You do not know how many times I traveled on the road and we were "close, but no cigar."

Congrats boys!

Its great being able to listen to a road win online. Aces seem to have an identity this year.

MARTIN, Tenn. -- Evansville will take a four-game winning streak to the University of Missouri on Sunday, thanks to a 75-57 victory on the road Wednesday at Tennessee-Martin.

The 4-2 Purple Aces shot 58 percent and held the 1-6 Skyhawks to 41 percent shooting in winning four in a row for the first time since early in the 2004-05 season.

Evansville's inside duo of 6-9 center Bradley Strickland and 6-8 forward Matt Webster made the difference Wednesday. Strickland scored 20 points and Webster added 14 points and 10 rebounds for his first double-double of the season. Guard Jason Holsinger added 11 for the Aces.

"Our guys really played well over the last 30 minutes," said coach Steve Merfeld. "We built a lead and then made sure it didn't slip away, and that's obviously important on the road."

The Aces have now won three of their last five road games, dating back to February of last season. They'll try to add another on Sunday at 12 noon when they play at Missouri.

You have no idea how happy it would make me to see the Aces beat Mizzou. Please, do what Davidson couldn't.
