Shamar Givance named MVC Player of the Week
Senior averaged 23 points per game
 ST LOUIS – For the second time in his career and the first instance this season, University of Evansville men’s basketball senior Shamar Givance has been named the Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Week.
Givance set a new career high with 31 points in a week that saw him average 23 points per game over the last week against Southern Illinois and Tennessee Tech. He shot 58.6% from the field while averaging 5.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 2.0 steals per game while playing 34.9 minutes per contest.
The big performance for Givance came in the MVC opener against Southern Illinois on Wednesday where the Toronto native was 11-for-16 from the field on his way to 31 points. He added two triples and a 7-for-10 effort from the line. In 37:44 of work, he had two assists and three boards. His 31-point game against SIU surpassed his career high of 26, which came just three days earlier at Eastern Illinois.
Saturday’s matchup against Tennessee Tech saw him score 15 points while grabbing 7 rebounds. Givance added 3 steals and 3 assists in a 6-for-13 shooting effort.
Entering Wednesday’s game at Southeast Missouri State, Givance ranks 9th in the MVC with 15 points per game while sitting third in steals and seventh in assists.
Detectives with the Delphi Investigation Seek Information
While investigating the murders of Abigail Williams and Liberty German, detectives with the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office and the Indiana State Police have uncovered an online profile named anthony_shots. This profile was being used from 2016 to 2017 on social media applications, including but not limited to, Snapchat and Instagram. The fictitious anthony_shots profile used images of a known male model and portrayed himself as being extremely wealthy and owning numerous sports cars. The creator of the fictitious profile used this information while communicating with juvenile females to solicit nude images, obtain their addresses, and attempt to meet them. Pictured below, you’ll see images of the known male model and images the fictitious anthony_shots profile sent to underage females.
We have already identified the male in these images that were used by the anthony_shots profile. The male that is in the photos is not a person of interest in the investigation. Detectives are seeking information about the person who created the anthony_shots profile.
Investigators would like any individual that communicated with, met, or attempted to meet the anthony_shots profile to contact law enforcement by utilizing the tip email/phone number:abbyandlibbytip@cacoshrf.com or 765-822-3535. Please provide as much information as you possibly can. For example, when you communicated with anthony_shots, how you communicated with the profile, what social media applications the account used, and if anthony_shots attempted to meet you or obtain your address. If you have saved images or conversations with the anthony_shots profile, please attach them to your email.
