Sports - NCAA Men's Hoops - Evansville Aces News http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaab/teams/ear Evansville Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)    Departures devastated Evansville. Yet it's obvious the school is taking the patient route to rebuilding its program. Coach Marty Simmons will need plenty of patience.

   Evansville lost four starters and doesn't return a player who averaged in double figures. That might tempt many programs into scouring junior colleges for immediate help.

Not Evansville. The Ace brought in six freshmen and one junior-college transfer. Nine of the 14 Aces are in their first or second season at the school.

   So count on a step back for Evansville, which went 17-14 last season and impressed with their desire to play hard and defend. Shy Ely, the MVC's leading scorer, gave the Aces enough offense to make it work.]]> Mon, 02 Nov 2009 21:05:31 PST ncaab urn:newsml:sports.yahoo,sportsxchange:20080101:ncaab,article,teamreports-2009-ncaab-ear:1 Mon, 02 Nov 2009 21:05:31 PST
