UE men’s basketball announces 2018-19 non-conference slate

Aces to play exciting schedule

 

In his first season at the helm of the University of Evansville men’s basketball program, head coach Walter McCarty will challenge his squad with a tough non-conference schedule for the 2018-19 season.

 

McCarty and the Purple Aces announced the slate on Wednesday and features a challenging road that will lead the team into Missouri Valley Conference play.

 

“We are very excited about the non-conference schedule, it is going to be a huge challenge for us,” McCarty said.  “The schedule has a good mix of Power 5 schools and others teams that have done very well in the tournament.  It will be challenging but very good for us in the long term.”

 

An increased emphasis was put on a higher level of competition in the non-conference portion of the schedule while also focusing on playing regional opponents that will increase fan interest while renewing rivalries that have helped to build the UE program.

 

“Our schedule is really good for the fans who have supported us in the past and have also been part of the rivalries and remember some of the big games that have taken place against these teams,” McCarty explained.  “It is great to get those rivalries back here and to get the community excited about them.”

 

On Saturday November 3, fans will have their first opportunity to see the Purple Aces squad as they welcome New Mexico Highlands to the Ford Center for an exhibition contest.  The Cowboys are coached by a name that Aces fans are familiar with – Craig Snow.  Snow was a player for the program from 1997 through 2001 and played a large part in the 1999 team that went to the NCAA Tournament.

 

“It will be good to have Craig back home and I know he will be looking forward to this opportunity,” Coach McCarty said.  “He is doing a really good job out there.  This will be a good chance for us to get used to the new guys and new system.  It should be a fun contest.”

 

Regular season play begins with a pair of road games against some of the top competition in the nation – Illinois and Xavier.  Both contests are part of the Maui Mainland Tournament.  UE heads to Champaign on November 8 before heading to Cincinnati to take on the Musketeers two days later.  The Fighting Illini went 14-18 in 2017-18, their first under head coach Brad Underwood.  Former UE assistant Geoff Alexander is a member of Underwood’s staff.  The game will be the first meeting between the schools.

 

Xavier is coming off of an historic season that saw them record a 29-6 record on the way to being a #1 seed in the NCAA Tournament for the first time in school history.  Evansville last played against Xavier in 2013.

 

“We have to be ready to play early in the season as we kick off with a bang at Illinois and Xavier, two teams that have enjoyed great success,” McCarty exclaimed.  “This will be a huge challenge and large step up for us.  Myself and our coaching staff will have to make sure that our guys are prepared and ready to compete.”

 

Evansville will be home the weekend of Friday, Nov. 16 for a pair of home games that will be part of the Maui Mainland Tournament.  Those opponents and game dates will be announced soon.

 

A road trip to Ball State awaits the squad on Nov. 24 and is part of a unique setup that features an in-season home-and-home with the Cardinals.  BSU comes to the Ford Center for a game on Sunday, December 9.  The Cardinals won 19 games last season and are two years removed from a 21-win season and a berth in the 2017 CIT.  It will mark the first game between the schools in ten years.

 

“This is something a little different that you do not see teams do as often,” McCarty explained.  “We thought it would be good for us to play up there and in Evansville in the same year.  They have a good team returning and it should be a good in-state rivalry game.”

 

Next up is a home game against Wyoming in the MVC/Mountain West Challenge.  The Cowboys are led by head coach Allen Edwards, who along with McCarty, were teammates on the 1996 University of Kentucky National Championship Team.  Wyoming won 20 games last year.

 

UE begins the month of December with a home game on December 1 with the opponent to be announced at a later date.  Three days later, the Aces head to Jonesboro, Ark. to complete a series against Arkansas State.  The Red Wolves played Evansville in last season’s opener with the Aces earning a 77-63 triumph.

 

Ball State makes its return trip to the Ford Center on Dec. 9 before Jacksonville State comes to town on Saturday, Dec. 15.  The Gamecocks have enjoyed great success as of late, winning 43 games over the last two years after registering 8 victories in the 2015-16 campaign.  JSU won the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament in 2016 on their way to the NCAA Tournament before winning 23 games last season, including a pair of contests in the CBI.

 

Another OVC foe awaits UE on Dec. 18 as the Purple Aces head to Murray, Ky. to renew its rivalry against Murray State.  The Racers had a great year in 2017-18, going 26-6 overall and 16-2 in conference play.  They won the league championship to advance to the NCAA Tournament.  The Aces and Racers have met six times since 2011.

 

“A lot of people are excited about that game,” McCarty said in regards to getting MSU back on the schedule.  “We know Murray State has a great tradition with what they have done over the last few years.  They always have really good talent.”

 

Green Bay marks the final opponent before Christmas.  The Aces welcome the Phoenix to Evansville on Dec. 22.  The final non-conference game is set for Saturday, Dec. 30 as UE heads to Oxford, Ohio to play Miami.  This will mark the seventh meeting between the programs since 2009.

 

Coach McCarty knows that the schedule is challenging and explains how this will pay off for his squad as the 2018-19 season progresses into conference play.

 

“This schedule will get our guys really locked in and prepared to play,” he said.  “They are excited about the newness of the schedule, the offense and defense and the coaching staff, just everything we have done in the last 2-3 weeks.”

 

“They understand that we have to be ready to play and have to set a standard where we are playing good basketball every night.  Hopefully this helps them lock in and are in their best shape.”

 

Season tickets are currently on sale.  For more information, call or text 812-488-ACES.

0

Indiana University swimmer Lilly King will drive the Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport Pace Car to lead the starting field to the green flag for the fifth annual INDYCAR Grand Prix on Saturday, May 12 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

“I’m super-excited to be able to drive the Pace Car for the INDYCAR Grand Prix,” King said. “As a homegrown Hoosier, there is nothing cooler than being able to drive at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.”

King will lead the starting field of the Verizon IndyCar Series race on the 14-turn, 2.439-mile road course at IMS in a Corvette Grand Sport.

“Lilly King is one of the greatest athletes ever from the state of Indiana, and we’re honored to welcome her to drive the Corvette Grand Sport Pace Car in the INDYCAR Grand Prix,” said J. Douglas Boles, Indianapolis Motor Speedway president. “She knows all about speed in the pool, and we think she’ll enjoy the incredible performance of the Corvette on track at the Racing Capital of the World.”

In her three seasons with Indiana, King has won six NCAA championships, earned 12 All-America honors and has been named the Big Ten Swimmer of the Year each season.

Greg Pence Wins 6th Congressional District GOP Primary

0

By

Greg Pence is the winner in the 6th Congressional District Republican primary.

The district includes Columbus, Muncie and Richmond.

Pence beat out four primary candidates for the chance to run in the general election in November. He could hold the same seat his brother Vice President Mike Pence once held for a dozen years before becoming Indiana’s governor.

“From the very beginning, we just wanted to get out into the sixth district and let people know who I am,” Pence says. “I’ve lived my whole life out in the 6 district, so I got to see a lot of people I knew, but I needed to introduce Greg Pence to them, and I’ll continue to do that.”

In his victory speech, Pence emphasized the need for a positive campaign and a connection with Hoosier voters.

“We need to push back against the Democrats and their liberal attacks, which have often been aided by the media,” Pence said. “As a Marine, I understand that respect is earned and never given. Team Pence will continue to run a grassroots-focused, positive campaign, because talking directly to you, the voters, is all that matters.”

Pence will face Democrat Jeannine Lee Lake in the general election. Lake says she’s confident voters will support her over Greg Pence. She says he’s tied too closely to the Trump administration.

“People are tired of divisive and hate politics,” Lake says. “We’re coming for every voter who feels disenfranchised by this particular administration. We’re coming for the least, the lost and the last.”

Lake says she looks forward to meeting Pence for debates as the election approaches.

“Let’s sit down and let’s do this,” Lake says. “Let’s get the voters engaged in this race.”

Lake says she plans to focus on school safety and gun control in her campaign.

Luke Messer has held the seat since 2013. He vacated the position so he could pursue the GOP Senate nomination.

 

Aces Baseball outslugs UT Martin in midweek match-up

0

The University of Evansville baseball team bounced back in a big way, outslugging the University of Tennessee-Martin at Braun Stadium Tuesday night, 10-6 the final.

After falling behind 4-1 in the top of the second inning, the Purple Aces exploded for four runs in the bottom of the frame. It began with senior first baseman Dalton Horstmeier hitting into a fielder’s choice with the bases loaded. A throwing error from the shortstop allowed by senior catcher Travis Tokarek and junior right fielder Nate Reeder, cutting the deficit to one. Senior third baseman Stewart Nelson would follow that up by decking a double to left field, tallying Horstmeier for the equalizer. Freshman designated hitter Tanner Craig would send a grounder to third, but a throwing error would allow Nelson to score the go-ahead tally, making it 5-4 Evansville.

UT-Martin would tie it back up in the fifth inning on a sacrifice fly, but the deadlock wouldn’t last long. In the bottom of the frame, Tanner Craig launched his fourth home run of the season to left, putting Evansville back out in front, 6-5.

UE would put the game out of reach in the sixth, loading up the bases for sophomore center fielder Kenton Crews would unload them, sending bases-clearing triple to center, giving Evansville a four run lead.

The Aces bullpen would allow just a single run the rest of the way, with freshman right hander Austin Ruesch, who pitched the fifth inning, picking up his first collegiate win.

The 10-6 victory improves Evansville’s record to 9-33, while the loss drops UT Martin to 10-35.

The Purple Aces are back in action and back on the road Friday night, as they make the trip up to Terre Haute to take Missouri Valley Conference rival Indiana State, beginning Friday night at 6:30 pm CT.
