EVANSVILLE, Ind. – K.J. Riley and Marty Hill had career nights to lead the University of Evansville men's basketball team past Drake, 82-77, in a double overtime thriller in the Missouri Valley Conference opener at the Ford Center.
"I am so excited for our guys, they put a lot of work in. K.J. and Marty are gym rats and I am happy to see their work pay off," Aces head coach Walter McCarty said. "They are two great leaders for our basketball team. All of our guys dug in and played really well together. The close games we played in non-conference really helped us tonight.
