EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WFIE) – A complete rehabilitation to a home at 101 East Tennessee was approved on Thursday by the Board of Public Works.

A $240,000 grant agreement between Hope of Evansville and the City will completely rehabilitate the abandoned home.

The cost will cover the rehabilitation plus an extensive environmental review, appraisals, and construction drawings.

We give five (5) cheers to Channel 14 TV for bringing this extremely eye-opening investigative story to the taxpayers of this community.

USI MBB completes homestand sweep, 84-67

0

 University of Southern Indiana Men’s Basketball won its fifth-straight and completed a homestand sweep with an 84-67 victory over Quincy University Saturday afternoon at Screaming Eagles Arena. USI goes to 14-4 overall and 6-4 in the GLVC, while Quincy is 10-8, 4-6 GLVC.

After trailing in the opening minutes, the Eagles took control with a 16-5 run and never looked back as they built a 46-27 lead at the break. USI led by as many as 20 points, 44-24, after a three-point bomb by senior guard Joe Laravie with 1:44 on the clock. USI junior guard Mateo Rivera was on fire during the initial 20 minutes, leading the way with 12 points on five-of-six from the field, two-of-three from downtown.

In the second half, the Eagles hit the cruise and never led the lead creep below 14 points prior extending the margin to as many as 26 points, 71-45, with 8:54 to play when senior guard Darnell Butler hit a jumper just outside of the paint. The Hawks would chip away at the margin, narrowing to gap once more to 14 points, 76-62, with 3:39 left before the Eagles closed out the 17-point, 84-67 win.

USI was dominant on the glass in the victory, posting a 54-34 advantage that allowed it win the battle in the paint, 20-10, and in second chance points, 17-5.

Individually, USI senior guard/forward Kobe Caldwell led five Eagles in double-digits with a season-high 18 points. Caldwell was six-of-10 from the field, a red-hot four-of-seven from beyond the arc, and perfect in two attempts from the stripe.

Rivera added three second-half points to finish with 15 points and completed his second career double-double with a season-high 10 rebounds. Junior forward Josh Price completed his sixth double-double performance of the season with 14 points and 10 rebounds.

Laravie and freshman guard Chance Coyle rounded out the double-digit scorers with 11 points each.

USI hits the road for the next four games, beginning Thursday at the University of Missouri-St. Louis for a 7:30 p.m. contest in St. Louis, Missouri. The Tritons, who sit on top of the GLVC standings, saw its record go to 18-2 overall and 9-1 in the GLVC after a 77-63 victory at Lewis University this afternoon in Romeoville, Illinois.

USI leads the all-time series versus UMLS, 38-12, after splitting a pair of games last season. The Tritons took the regular season contest, 73-61, at the Mark Twain Center in St. Louis, while USI bounced back to win a GLVC Tournament first round game, 87-61, in Edwardsville, Illinois.

Caldwell is USI’s top returning scorer versus the Tritons, averaging 13.0 points. He also averaged a team-best 6.5 rebounds per contest.

USI WBB takes down Quincy to conclude homestand

0

The University of Southern Indiana women’s basketball team returned to the win column Saturday with a 65-41 Great Lakes Valley Conference victory over Quincy University. The Screaming Eagles improved to 11-5 (7-3 GLVC) with the effort, while the Hawks fell to 6-12 (2-8 GLVC).

USI collected double-digit scoring performances from senior guard Ashley Johnson, sophomore forward Ashlynn Brown and freshman forward Hannah Haithcock. Johnson and Brown each finished with 12 points, Haithcock with 10.

The Eagles got the afternoon started with a 21-10 first quarter tally that opened with a five-point burst from a Johnson three-pointer and a fastbreak layup from junior guard Emma DeHart, then closed on an 8-0 run capped off by a last-second three-ball from freshman guard Addy Blackwell that represented USI’s largest lead to that point.

Quincy was able to close the gap to seven points just after the midway point of the second frame before the Eagles strung together another run of 8-3, again concluded by a last-second Blackwell three-point basket, allowing USI to carry a 14-point, 37-23 lead into the break. Johnson and Brown led into the break with eight points apiece while the senior guard added five assists.

The intermission was kind to the Eagles, as USI collected an 18-5 advantage in the third frame, aided by a 12-0 run that lasted over six minutes before being broken up by a Quincy three-pointer with 33 seconds remaining in the period. Seven Eagles got on the board in the quarter, led by freshman forward Tara Robbe with all five of her points in the contest coming during the shutout stretch.

With a 27-point lead heading into the final quarter, USI extended to its game-high 32-point advantage before taking its foot off the gas, allowing a 7-0 run from the Hawks in the final four-plus minutes of action.

While Johnson and Brown led the offense, senior guard Kiara Moses did the work under the glass picking up a team-high eight rebounds, which tied her season high set against Southwest Baptist University earlier this month. Addy Blackwell locked down the Hawks defensively, leading the game with five steals which is also a new season high

USI Women’s Basketball heads back out on the road next week to visit the University of Missouri-St. Louis Thursday, followed by Lindenwood University, Saturday.
