Evansville's two best players, Ryan Taylor and Dru Smith, are both out, I think. Taylor is a 6'6" RS Jr who is averaging over 20 a game and shooting 46.5% from 3 on 7 attempts per game. His %shot was an insane 38.7 when he went down. Smith is a Soph PG with a 128 ORtg, and he probably would have destroyed Duke. He's 12-20 from 3 and 27-39 from 2, and his FT rate is just under 60.
Evansville also had a third starter, Duane Gibson, out in the last game vs Midway (NAIA all girls school until fall of 2016), but I haven't found any info on his injury or if he's expected to play @ Duke. Per kenpom, Gibson is a RS Sr guard, and he's only attempted two (TWO!) 3s in his entire career, missing both. He's at 43% 2s and 60% FTs this season, 47% and 69% for his career. His ORtg is 78.7 (best season was soph year, 94.2). We want him to play. He will make at least four 3s vs Duke.
