We are gathering information about rituals and traditions across the UE campus to better celebrate who we are and better welcome those who want to be a part of our community.

For example, a popular tradition at UE, hosted by the art department and the Clay Club, is the annual Chili Bowl sale in the fall. Student Life is well-known for hosting the springtime Bike Race. And we all know about those bright orange luggage tags that take us to our beloved Harlaxton Manor.

David Howard scored a career-high 21 points while Jaylon Brown and Ryan Taylor added 22 apiece to lead the University of Evansville Men's Basketball team to its fourth win in a row, defeating Drake by a final of 87-70 on Tuesday night at the Ford Center.

It was the first time three players scored 20 or more points for UE since December 30, 2006, against Bradley when Matt Webster, Kyle Anslinger, and Bradley Strickland notched 20 apiece against Bradley.

Howard hit six shots and was a career-best 9-for-9 from outside for the Purple Aces (14-14, 5-10 MVC). Brown and Taylor each hit nine shots apiece. Brown did his work inside the arc, with all nine field goals being 2-pointers.

"Those guys all had great nights; Jaylon did well driving to the basket and David has been on quite a roll," head coach Marty Simmons said. "Christian (Benzon) and Dru (Smith) also played extremely well. We had a nice stretch there in the second half when Ryan hit that three. Our guys just played well."

A 4-for-4 start from the floor saw the Purple Aces open the night with the first eight points over the first 2:40. Just as quick as the Aces opened up, Drake came right back as a triple from Billy Wampler saw them record five points in a row.

Evansville, which led for the duration of the first half, pushed its lead to double figures at 25-15 midway through the half on a Christian Benzon free throw. The lead for UE went as high as 13 points on a jumper from Ryan Taylor. His bucket made it a 32-19 game with 6:23 remaining in the half.

Over the final minutes, the Bulldogs cut into the UE lead, finishing the half on an 18-8 stretch to trail by just three at the break. Another Wampler trey got the run started while Reed Timmer notched eight in the run to make it a 40-37 game at the break.

The lead for the Aces quickly grew to seven points in the opening minute of the second half, but the treys kept coming for DU as De'Antae McMurray connected twice from outside to get the Bulldogs back within three. At that point, Evansville buckled down. An 18-6 run that saw Dru Smith notch six points and saw UE open up its largest advantage at 71-55 with just over nine minutes remaining. Later, an and-one by Christian Benzon saw UE pull away even more, up 81-62 just five minutes later.
