HIGHLIGHTED GAMES
...
-EVANSVILLE AT DUKE. Evansville comes into this game at 10-2 and is likely way overmatched. But if they could somehow pull off this upset (which I know isn’t likely) then it’s the kind of win that could catapult them onto the national scene and solidly into the NCAA Tournament talk.
