Full Men’s Basketball Schedule Is Announced

Aces Full Slate Is Ready For 2018-19

 The full 2018-19 schedule for the University of Evansville men’s basketball team has now been released.  The Purple Aces’ non-conference slate was released earlier in the summer while the Missouri Valley Conference slate was recently finalized.

Following the completion of the non-conference games, the Purple Aces open conference play on Wednesday, January 2 against Drake.  The Bulldogs finished fourth in the league last season after being chosen to finish 10th.  Evansville has won its last six home games against Drake.  UE split the season series in 2018.  Road play begins three days later with a trip to Illinois State on January 5.  ISU was tied with Drake in league play with a 10-8 mark while earning the no. 3 seed in Arch Madness.

In a highly-anticipated contest, UE welcomes Loyola to the Ford Center on Wednesday, January 9.  The Ramblers are coming off of their 2018 Final Four run while going 32-6 overall and 15-3 in the Valley.  That is followed up with another popular home game as Indiana State heads to Evansville for an afternoon game on January 12.  Evansville has won four of the last six home games against the Sycamores.

Road play continues with a midweek contest at Missouri State on January 16.  The Bears were seventh in the league last season and will be under the direction of new head coach Dane Ford this season.  A big weekend will be on tap when the Aces host Illinois State on Saturday, Jan. 19.  It will mark the UE Athletics Hall of Fame weekend.  The new class will be unveiled in the coming days.

Evansville will spend the next week in Iowa with a road tilt at Drake on Jan. 23 before a trek to Cedar Falls to play UNI on the 26th.  The Panthers finished ninth in the league last season including a 60-50 Arch Madness win over the Purple Aces.

A pair of home games are on tap as the Aces complete the opening month of conference play beginning a contest against Bradley.  Last season, the Braves finished conference play at 9-9 while winning 20 games.  The quick home stint wraps up on February 2 when Valparaiso comes to town.  UE swept the season series against the Crusaders last season.

The Aces stay in the region over the next week of play with its annual trips to Indiana State and Southern Illinois.  UE heads to Terre Haute on Wednesday, Feb. 6 before moving on to Carbondale to open its season series against SIU three days later.  The Salukis ranked second in the conference last year with an 11-7 mark while going 20-13 overall.

It is back home for Evansville on Feb. 13 against Missouri State before a Sunday contest against UNI on the 17th.  Three of UE’s final four regular season games are on the road starting with games at Loyola (2/20) and Bradley (2/23).  Senior Day for UE will take place on Wednesday, Feb. 27 against SIU.  It marks the second season in a row that the Aces final home game has been against the Salukis.  Last year, the Aces earned a dominant 75-44 win in the contest.  A March 2 trip to Valparaiso will complete the regular season.

The final piece of the UE schedule has also fallen into place as the team has finalized its home games in the Maui Mainland.  Evansville welcomes Kentucky Wesleyan to the Ford Center on Nov. 15 before facing Texas Southern at home on the 18th of November.

“Due to NCAA granting waivers to many of the Power 5 opening round host teams, the pool of Division I teams willing to participate in the Mainland portion of the event in Evansville was significantly affected,” UE Director of Athletics Mark Spencer said.  “Our staff worked diligently with the Maui Mainland to bring two DI games to the Ford Center, but in the timeframe we were presented with, it was just not feasible for us with the season quickly approaching and teams finalizing their schedules.”

“We are thrilled to be able to welcome a regional rival to town in Kentucky Wesleyan while Texas Southern has been to four NCAA Tournaments and an NIT in the last five years.”

Study committee to return spotlight to DCS

0

Marilyn Odendahl for www.theindianalawyer.com

While the firestorm over the Indiana Department of Child Services has died down, the Indiana General Assembly is preparing to begin its examination of the agency and possibly make recommendations for action during the 2019 legislative session.

The Interim Study Committee on Courts and the Judiciary is scheduled to meet at 10 a.m. Wednesday in Room 431 of the Statehouse to review a host of issues related to DCS. Those topics include looking at the definitions of “child abuse or neglect” and the laws governing maximum caseloads, as well as exploring the laws that require the agency to respond within 24 hours to every report that a child is in imminent danger and to complete each assessment within 30 days.

Not included on the list is an examination of the in-house legal staff, but Sen. Travis Holdman, vice chair of the interim committee, is planning to push for a change. In particular, the Markle Republican wants DCS to return to contracting its legal work with local law firms instead of keeping a staff of lawyers in-house.

Hiring outside representation, Holdman said, would likely bring in attorneys who have more experience in family law and have practiced before the local judges. Currently, Holdman said, the DCS legal staff is plagued with high turnover, attorneys who do not have enough experience and who do not seem prepared for court.

“I’ve heard more stories of that kind where attorneys do not show up (for court) or show up and ask for a continuance,” Holdman said of DCS attorneys. He added that he could not imagine anything more “disheartening and demoralizing” for a case manager than to arrive at court, have everyone ready to testify and then realize the DCS lawyer is not coming.

Under Holdman’s plan, the agency would transition to contract attorneys rather than making an abrupt switch. Local law firms would be signed on as the in-house lawyers leave DCS.

“I think it just makes sense,” Holdman said.

While the agendas for the Sept. 5 and the Sept. 19 committee hearings include a heavy focus on the Department of Child Services, missing is any assessment of the Indiana Support Enforcement Tracking System. As part of its assignment, the committee was charged with also looking at ISETS, the outdated computer system which the agency uses to log and dispense nearly $1 billion in child support payments each year.

Whether the committee is going to hold an additional hearing to discuss the computer system is unclear.

Overall, Holdman is hoping the legislative study committee does not veer from following the recommendations made by the Alabama-based Child Welfare Policy and Practice Group. He wants the Statehouse to let director Terry Stigdon do her work.

“I think she is the right person for the job,” Holdman said, noting she is getting involved with the field offices and has visited some families.

The Child Welfare group was hired by Gov. Eric Holcomb after former DCS executive director Mary Beth Bonaventura resigned in December 2017. Notably, the outside consultants highlighted that from 2005 to 2017, Indiana had an 89.4 percent increase in the number of children in foster care, while surrounding states all reported decreases ranging from 9.8 percent to 39.4 percent.

Holdman echoed many when he pointed out that children suffer acute trauma when they are removed from their homes. But, he maintained, DCS is not acting alone. The courts have to approve the order for removal.

The lawmaker wondered what role the courts are playing if Indiana is an outlier state. Consequently, he said he has talked to Indiana Supreme Court Chief Justice Loretta Rush about the need to train state judges on DCS matters.

Even before the Child Welfare report was released, the Legislature advanced several DCS-related bills. At least 14 measures were introduced and eight were put on the governor’s desk in 2018, and Holdman expects the same for the 2019 session regardless of what the interim study committee recommends.

“If nothing comes out of committee,” he said, “I think there are enough concerned people in the Legislature that we’ll see a number of bills flowing out there.”
