Men’s Basketball gets second conference win, beats Evansville

It’s happened again.

In the particularly rough return season for head coach Cuonzo Martin, it took 10 straight Missouri Valley Conference games to get the Bears a conference win, and it took almost two weeks for them to get a second.

That came with a 71-54 win over the University of Evansville Purple Aces on Wednesday.

The regulars for the Bears showed up to get them their second MVC win. In a disappointing season, junior forward Michael Osei-Bonsu, junior guard Vincent Brady II and sophomore guard Dez White have all been shining stars, and they shined just as bright as usual in the midweek game.
