But the second half we turned that around. We outshot them by a wide margin and created a lot of opportunities.</p> <p>&ldquo;At the end of the day we got a point on the road, so we&rsquo;ll take that and start preparing for Evansville,&rdquo; Mertz said. &ldquo;We&rsquo;re ready to come home and start getting ready for the long week ahead of us.&rdquo;</p> <p><strong></strong>The Billikens play at Evansville Friday, Aug. 24, at 4:30 p.m. before hosting nationally ranked Marquette Sunday, Aug. 26, in the home opener at 5:30 p.m.</p>
