Eagles lose tough game to Panthers, 76-72

0
 University of Southern Indiana Men’s Basketball stumbled in the final minutes in a 76-72 loss to Drury University Saturday afternoon at the Physical Activities Center. The Screaming Eagles go to 14-45 overall and 6-3 in the GLVC, while the Panthers are 10-10, 4-5 GLVC.

The Eagles raced out to a 9-0 run after the tip off behind six opening-minute points by junior guard/forward Kobe Caldwell (Bowling Green, Kentucky). USI would match the 9-point lead at 20-11 before Drury rallied with an 11-0 run of its own to lead 22-20 with 7:36 until halftime.

The Panthers would extend their lead to four points, 28-24, before a quick 6-2 dash by the Eagles knotted the game at 30-30 just before the first half buzzer. Drury got the last bucket with 54 ticks on the clock to take a 33-30 lead into the locker room at the intermission.

USI was limited to just five players in the scoring column during the first 20 minutes with senior guard Alex Stein (Evansville, Indiana) in the lead with eight points. The Eagles, as a team, shot 41.4 percent from the field (12-29) in the first half.

The Eagles rallied to start the second 20 minutes and regained the lead, 37-35, when Caldwell hit a jumper to cap off a 5-0 run. After the Panthers scooted back into the lead, 38-37, USI got its final lead of the game, 39-38, when Stein hit a jumper with 16:50 to play.

Drury rebounded with a 17-7 run to take an 11-point lead, 55-44, to put USI on its heels. The Eagles, however, did not quit and used a 9-0 spurt to climb back to within a bucket at 55-53 at 11:15 to play.

The Panthers kept re-extending their margin to five and six points until 52 seconds left when USI sophomore forward Emmanuel Little  (Indianapolis, Indiana) sank a pair of free throws to pull the Eagles to within one point, 73-72. The one-point deficit would be as close as the Eagles would come as the Panther sealed the 76-72 decision with three free throws in the final 11 seconds.

In the scoring column, Stein finished the game with a team-high 18 points, while Little and Caldwell followed with a 15 points each to round out the USI double-figure scorers. Little also posted a game-high 11 rebounds to round out his seventh double-double of the season.

USI hits the road for the next three games, starting with top-ranked Bellarmine University February 2 in Louisville, Kentucky. The Eagles also visit the University of Indianapolis February 7 and Lewis University February 9 on the road trip. Game coverage information for USI Men’s Basketball can be found on GoUSIEagles.com.

Bellarmine saw it record to 18-0, 9-0 GLVC, after defeating Missouri University of Science & Technology, 91-60, today in Louisville, Kentucky.

USI leads the all-time series with Bellarmine, 50-43, but has lost the last six to the Knights and nine of the last 10 (2014-15 to 2018-19). The last USI win over Bellarmine in Knights Hall was in the 2013-14 season, 68-66, in overtime.

The Knights took the first meeting of the year, 92-80, at the PAC in December. Senior Stein led the Eagles with 25 points, followed by sophomore forward Josh Price (Indianapolis, Indiana) with 22 points.

Turnovers costly as Eagles fall to No. 2 Panthers

0

University of Southern Indiana Women’s Basketball committed a season-high 45 turnovers Saturday afternoon as No. 2 Drury University handed the Screaming Eagles a 77-50 Great Lakes Valley Conference setback at the Physical Activities Center.

The Screaming Eagles (14-5, 7-2 GLVC) struggled from the start as the Panthers scored 10 straight points in the first minute-and-a-half to take a 10-0 lead.

Drury (19-0, 9-0 GLVC) led 23-11 at the end of one and 37-18 midway through the second period, but a 9-1 USI run to end the half got the Eagles to within 11 (38-27) heading into the break.

The Panthers used an 8-0 run to begin the third quarter and retake the 19-point advantage; then used a 13-0 fourth quarter surge to eliminate any chance of a USI comeback. They led by as much as 29 points before settling on the 27-point win.

Turnovers
USI’s 45 turnovers were the most by an Eagle team under USI Head Coach Rick Stein. Drury converted those offensive miscues into 48 points.

Missed layups
Missed layups also hurt the Eagles Saturday as USI missed 10 bunnies on the afternoon.

Telling stat
USI took 21 less shots than that of Drury, which went 29-of-65 (.446) from the field. USI was 15-of-44 (.341) from the field.

Statistical leaders
Sophomore forward Imani Guy (Columbus, Indiana) finished with 19 points and eight rebounds to lead the Eagles, while senior forward/center Mikayla Rowan (Brazil, Indiana) added seven points and a game-high 10 rebounds.

EPD REPORT

Alcohol Likely a Factor in Water Rescue

0
Shortly before 05:30 this morning Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to the Union Township river bottoms to check on a vehicle that was adrift in high water. The truck was partially submerged nearly two hundred yards from Old Henderson Road near Golden Rule Road. The actual 911 caller had received a call from one of the people inside the truck asking for assistance. When the reporter could not locate her friend’s vehicle she decided to call 911 for help.

Emergency responders from the Perry Township Fire Department launched a water rescue boat and were able to successfully retrieve both individuals from the partially submerged pick-up truck. Once on dry land deputies and emergency medical personnel checked on the pair to see if either person was injured. Both refused any further medical treatment; however, during the assessment it was suspected that both men were under the influence of alcohol. Brandon Baumgart and Seth Elderkin were subsequently arrested for public intoxication. During his arrest Baumgart became physically combative as the deputy attempted to search him so he was additionally charged with resisting a law enforcement officer. Baumgart and Elderkin were transported to the Vanderburgh County Jail where they were booked for misdemeanor charges.

The roadway was clearly marked with signage indicating its closure due to high water. The Sheriff’s Office and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration encourage drivers to NEVER drive through high water on the roadway, regardless of whether it is standing or moving. Even if you are familiar with the roads, do not drive through high water because you probably will not see the danger. There may be debris, tree branches, downed power lines, or even washed away sections of roadway beneath the water’s surface. In addition to being dangerous, it is illegal for a motorist to disregard an official barricade or signage restricting access to a roadway.

 

Arrested: Brandon Baumgart (imaged above left), 26, of Evansville, IN and Seth Elderkin (imaged above right) 24, of Wadesville, IN.


The above images were captured at the scene this morning.

Presumption of Innocence Notice: The fact that a person has been arrested or charged with a crime is merely an accusation. The defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty in a court of law.
