The Mountain West/MVC Challenge wraps up with Bradley at San Diego State. Home teams have won every game in this event, and the Aztecs will be expected to do so here to lock up the draw between the two leagues, though the Braves are stingy enough to push SDSU.

Evansville was off to a very nice 5-0 start to the season, but the Purple Aces’ year might be getting derailed by a key injury. Ryan Taylor was averaging over 22 points per game and the Aces were 5-0 after a surprising win over Fresno State in the Cancun Challenge, but he was injured in the game against the Bulldogs and was later diagnosed as a stress fracture that will keep him out for more than a month. Taylor played on the foot in the Cancun final, where Evansville lost to Louisiana Tech on a buzzer-beating three-pointer, and in their first game without him the Aces lost handily at New Mexico. Before his injury, Marty Simmons had his team controlling tempo superbly with a slow pace, good team defense and clinical motion offense, but roles are going to change. Though at least the schedule is manageable…until a Dec. 20 trip to Duke.

2 Questions We Have
...
MIKE DAUM’S TEAM IS PLAYING ALIZE JOHNSON’S TEAM

The preseason Large Adult Son of the Year vs. one of the best players in the Missouri Valley. Johnson, however, is coming off a scoreless performance against Colorado State that he is looking to put out of his mind. This is a concept entirely foreign to Daum, who went for 26-and-seven in an overtime win at Ole Miss on Tuesday.
