Thursday night marks the fifth all-time meeting between the Aces and Knight with each side capturing two matchups in series history. The two sides are meeting for the third straight year with Evansville having won the last two contests, including last year's meeting in Freedom Hall, 89-83. Evansville and Bellarmine enter Thursday night's matchup coming-off of playing the same opponent last. UE earned a 75-65 win over Morehead State on Friday evening, while Bellarmine dropped a road game with the Eagles, 63-59, on Sunday afternoon. The Knights enter the midweek clash with a 2-6 record, but have a 1-0 record in games played at Freedom Hall. Through six games, Evansville has recorded a pair of road wins, tied for the most in a single-season by the Aces since the 2016-17 season when UE captured five road victories. 

Senior guard/forward Abby Feit has been on a tear of late, jumping to the top of the Aces scoring list. Feit leads the team averaging 15.8 points per game after scoring in double-figures in four-straight games, including 19+ in three of the last four. Redshirt junior Barbora Tomancova has been a force in the paint for Evansville, recording her third double-double in six games with 11 points and 12 boards in UE's win over Morehead State. Tomancova has also excelled at knocking down her attempts at the charity stripe, where she is shooting 92.3% from the line, the 24th-best free-throw percentage in the nation.

Following Evansville's matchup with Bellarmine, the Aces return to Meeks Family Fieldhouse to begin what will be the longest homestand of the season for UE. Featuring non-conference games against SEMO and UT Martin before the holiday and closing with the conference-opening weekend against SIU and Missouri State, the Aces will play four-straight home contests over the next three weeks.
