I guess turnabout is fair play. VU lost Bouchie as he transferred to Evansville after last season, and Evansville is apparently losing 3 players who will be transferring now that this season is over.

Leaving four scholarships open!

"The Aces are coming off a 17-14 season, a fifth place finish in the Missouri Valley Conference, and a berth in the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament in Simmons' second year as head coach. It was their first winning season since 2000, and their first post-season appearance since 1999."

Their "postseason" this year was a 92-76 loss to Belmont in the CIT - playing in Evansville.

Everybody blames the Lutherans.

This could have a major impact on next years team. They had a pretty good season considering that Kaylon Williams started at point as a freshman. He was expected to be a major piece of the puzzle along with Bouchie next year. Now Simmons needs to go out and find some experience at point guard.
