Wonder if Tyler Zeller (Washington, Ind.) has anything to do with it...Zeller's hometown is a 60 mi drive from Evansville.

I like coaches from high majors who do that kind of thing, let a kid "go home". Even better when it is a low or mid-major who takes advantage of it!

As long as it doesn't turn out like the Tar Heels trip to Charleston last season!!

Cool deal for Evansville. UNC did 2-1 with Penn recently as well. The big name hoops programs are way more likely to travel to the "little" guys when compared to their football counterparts. Usually there is some tie with players or coaches though.
