Simmons prepares Aces for challenge of playing Tar Heels
Posted Dec 8, 2010
The challenge for Marty Simmons and his Evansville Aces is to find a way to win at home by upending a storied program like North Carolina, which visits Roberts Stadium at 7 p.m. Wednesday night. The game , which will be televised on ESPNU, is already listed as a sellout with more than 12,000 tickets purchased. The game will be a “homecoming” road game for UNC’s 7-foot center Tyler Zeller.
