Â
Six players scored in double figures in an unbelievable effort, but Xavier was able to fend off several challenges from the University of Evansville men’s basketball team, taking a 91-85 win inside the Cintas Center on Saturday afternoon.
Shea Feehan and K.J. Riley led the way for the Purple Aces (0-2) with 20 points apiece. John Hall and Evan Kuhlman posted 12 each while Marty Hill scored 11 and Noah Frederking added 10. The totals for Feehan, Hall and Kuhlman were all career marks. Hall and Riley added five assists each.
As a team, the Aces hit 17 3-pointers. That mark tied the school record, which was set against Southern Illinois in the 1996-97 campaign.
Paul Scruggs led Xavier (2-0) with 24 points. Tyrique Jones added 19 points and 20 caroms.
“I’m proud of our guys, they really bounced back after the Illinois game. We played together and almost got the win,†Aces head coach Walter McCarty said. “We had guys get in foul trouble, which had an impact in the end, but I am just really proud of everyone. We will be fine offensively. I am proud of our effort, we played our tails off. This team has a bright future.â€
Marty Hill got off to a nice start, registering eight points in the early points. After Shea Feehan opened the scoring with a layup, Evan Kuhlman drained a triple to put the Aces up 5-2. After Xavier tied it up at 5-5, Hill’s first bucket of the day – a three – gave UE an 8-7 lead.
Xavier took its first lead of the day at 13-12 before extending it to four points. Hill’s second 3-pointer of the afternoon made it a 1-point game once again, cutting the XU lead to 18-17 at the 11:45 mark. The difference in the opening frame came on a 12-0 run that saw the Musketeers connect on 7 out of 9 shots to open up at 35-20 advantage 7:20 on the clock.
K.J. Riley ended the stretch with an and-one before Kuhlman added a triple to cut the deficit to 37-26. After Xavier pushed its lead back out to at (43-28), Feehan scored on a nice floater before Riley stole the inbound pass and converted to cut the deficit to 11 points. Great defense forced a Musketeer turnover that led to another UE possession and the Aces added another tally on a Riley free throw to make it a 10-point game.
Evansville continued to fight back as Kuhlman matched his career-high with his third triple of the game, cutting the gap to 43-36. Following a dunk by Xavier, Feehan struck again. A 4-point play marked his 8th point of the game and saw the Aces claw back within five with two minutes left in the half. Noah Frederking added the team’s eighth triple of the game in the final minute as UE went into the break down four, 49-45.
Out of the half, the momentum for the Aces continued. Shea Feehan nailed another triple on the first possession to make it a 1-point game. The Musketeers were able to push their lead back out to eight at 59-51 at the 17:37 mark, but UE countered with an 8-0 run. Riley hit a pair of buckets before Feehan connected from downtown before adding a free throw to tie it up at 59-59 five minutes into the second frame.
With 13:46 remaining in the game, the Aces were able to take their first lead since the opening minute when Noah Frederking was true from outside. It gave UE a 65-64 edge. Xavier retook the lead with under ten minutes left and pushed it out to 78-71 on an and-one. A 5-0 run got the Aces back within a pair with six minutes remaining, but a triple by the Musketeers, pushed it back out to a 2-possession lead.
That basket was the first of nine in a row that gave the Musketeers an 87-76 lead with four minutes remaining. Feehan ended the stretch with two free throws. Evansville continued to fight back. In the final minute, UE turned a Xavier turnover into a Frederking triple that made it a 90-85 game. The Aces were not done there. Stout UE defense forced a Musketeer turnover on ensuing possession as the Aces never gave up, but Xavier held off the challenges and took the 91-85 win in the end.
“Today, we did a better job of understanding the intensity we have to play with. If we do what we are capable of, we can win these games,†McCarty said after the game.
Evansville finished the game shooting 45.8% from the floor and 51.5% (17/33) from outside. Xavier finished the game at 51.6%. The finished with a 51-22 rebounding advantage.
Following the 2-game road swing to open the year, the Aces open the home slate this week, welcoming Kentucky Wesleyan on Thursday before playing host to Texas Southern on Sunday.
Senior guard/forward Nate Hansen(Evansville, Indiana) scored a team-high 20 points as University of Southern Indiana Men’s Basketball defeated Malone University, 74-71, in the second round of the GLVC/GMAC Challenge Saturday afternoon.
USI (1-1), which led 30-23 at the half and 38-27 early in the second frame, found itself on the opposite end of a 22-8 run that put them in a four-point deficit (61-57) with just over seven minutes left in the game.
Junior guard Kobe Caldwell (Bowling Green, Kentucky) hit a three-pointer to cut the Pioneers’ lead to a single digit, while Hansen connected from downtown to put USI up 63-61.
Malone (0-2) fired back, using a four-point play to take a 65-63 advantage. The Pioneers led 71-68 with less than two minutes to go in the contest when senior guard Alex Stein (Evansville, Indiana) hit a pair of free throws to cut the deficit to one.
Sophomore guard Mateo Rivera (Indianapolis, Indiana) had a tip-in layup off a miss by Caldwell with just over a minute to play to put USI up, 72-71, while Caldwell connected on a pair of free throws with 12.9 seconds to play to give USI a three-point edge. It was the only basket of the game for Rivera, who finished with five rebounds and a pair of assists.
Malone sophomore guard Jaret Majestic missed on a desperation heave with two seconds to play as the Eagles held on for the three-point win.
In addition to Hansen, the Eagles got 15 points from Caldwell and 14 from Stein. Sophomore forward Josh Price (Belleville, Illinois) added eight points and a team-high eight rebounds.
Senior guard Nate Sheppard had a game-high 29 points to lead Malone, while junior guard Daylan Haynie dished out 10 assists.
Both teams performed well from three-point range, with the Eagles connecting on 12-of-24 attempts from behind the arc and the Pioneers making good on 14 of their 32 attempts. Free throws, however, were a bugaboo for both squads as USI was 12-of-18 from the charity stripe and Malone 11-of-25.
The Eagles return to action November 17 at 3 p.m. when they open their 2018-19 home schedule against Martin Methodist University.
The 15th-ranked and second-seeded University of Southern Indiana men’s soccer team could not get by third-seeded and 22nd-ranked Saginaw Valley State University in a hard-fought 4-1 loss in the second round of the NCAA Division II Midwest Regional Saturday afternoon at Strassweg Field. The Screaming Eagles see their season end with a 13-4-1 overall record, while the Cardinals advance with an 11-2-6 mark.
USI and SVSU battled back and forth for the first 15 minutes with only five shots between the two teams. SVSU picked up the momentum at 28:26, scoring an unassisted goal for the 1-0 lead. The Cardinals took a 2-0 lead into the intermission after getting their second tally of the game at 41:33.
In the second half, USI increased the pressure offensively and narrowed the margin to 2-1 when freshman defender Colten Walsh (St. Louis, Missouri) scored off a long throw in by junior midfielder Sean Rickey(Columbia, Illinois) at 75:06. The goal was Walsh’s fourth of the season and Rickey’s team-best sixth assist.
SVSU, however, responded by sealing its victory with a goal at 83:49 and 87:51 for the eventual 4-1 final.
The Eagles complete the 2018 campaign with 13 wins; ranked 15th nationally; their first GLVC regular season crown since 1990; their highest regional ranking since 1982; and their third appearance in the NCAA II Tournament. USI also hosted their first NCAA II Regional since 1982.
