Taylor Notches 30 Points In The Loss

 TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – A defensive battle took place in Terre Haute as Indiana State was able to hang on for a 58-53 win over the University of Evansville men’s basketball team on Wednesday evening at the Hulman Center.

“I am really proud of our guys for the effort that they gave, especially on the defensive end,” UE head coach Marty Simmons.  “They really tried to help each other out.  We are just having trouble scoring the basketball, I know our heart is in the right place, but we did not execute enough down the stretch.”

Taylor notched his 30 points while going 11-of-30 from the floor for UE (16-14, 6-11 MVC).  His 30 attempts were a career-high.  He also matched his top effort with eight rebounds.  K.J. Riley was next with eight points while Dainius Chatkevicius led everyone with 10 boards.

Leading the Sycamores (12-17, 7-10 MVC) was Jordan Barnes with 19 points and nine rebounds.  Qiydar Davis finished with 12.

After Indiana State scored the first bucket of the game, Evansville posted seven in a row.  Ryan Taylor notched five, including an and-one to get the Aces on the board.  Indiana State went 1-4 with three turnovers to begin the game.

Indiana State retook the lead at 8-7 on a free throw by Emondre Rickman before a 7-0 Evansville run gave them a 14-7 advantage.  An Evan Kuhlman triple spearheaded the run.  Kuhlman entered the game hitting five of his last seven long-range tries.  The long ball is exactly what ISU used to get back in the game as Tyreke Key and Jordan Barnes hit treys to knot it up at 14-14.

With under five minutes left, Barnes connected on another 3-pointer to give the Sycamores a 21-18 advantage.  Duane Gibson got on the board with a layup before Dalen Traore tied it up with a free throw to send the game to the break tied up at 21-21.  The defense was the name of the game in the first half as UE shot 26.7% with Indiana State finishing the half at 25.0%.

Taylor, who led everyone with 11 points in the first half, hit an and-one on the first UE possession to give the lead back to the Aces at 24-21.  Barnes made sure the Sycamores stayed close as back-to-back treys put ISU back up 27-24 before a pair of free throws extended that to 29-24.

Blake Simmons knocked down his first long ball to end the run as UE grabbed a 32-31 edge at the 15- minute mark thanks to another Taylor triple.  Neither team could muster up a lead over more than a possession, but that changed when Demonte Ojinnaka hit a triple to help ISU score on three consecutive possessions to go up 44-41.  The lead grew to five at 46-41 on a pair of Barnes free throws.

K.J. Riley ended the stretch with his second basket of the game, but Ojinnaka struck again with another triple to push the lead to 49-43.  With just under five minutes on the clock, the biggest shot of the game came off the hands of Ryan Taylor, who drained his second trey to get the Aces back within three.

ISU was able to hold off the UE rally as the lead was pushed back to five on a Qiydar Davis bucket.  Taylor made sure the Sycamores did not get too far ahead as a pair of free throws with two minutes left cut the deficit back to three.  Free throws were the difference down the stretch as Davis and Tyreke Key hit four in a row to push the lead to seven (55-48) – the largest edge of the day.

With ISU up six, Taylor hit a trey to cut the lead to three, but the Sycamores hung on for the win as two more free throws found the bottom of the net.

ISU finished the night shooting 28.8% while the Aces shot 28.6%.  Rebounding also went the way of the Sycamores, 47-46.

Saturday will mark the final home game of the season for the Aces as they welcome Southern Illinois to the Ford Center for a 1 p.m. game.  It will also mark Senior Day with Dalen Traore, Duane Gibson and Blake Simmons being honored at the game.

 

MIKE BRAUN DOMINATES FIRST DEBATE

0
Conservative businessman and Republican Senate candidate Mike Braun’s campaign released the following statement following his victory in the Americans for Prosperity debate in Indianapolis from spokesman Josh Kelley:
“After tonight’s debate, it’s crystal-clear which candidate is the true conservative and political outsider. While the career politicians continue to sling mud and focus on negative attacks, Mike is the only candidate in this race who will stand with President Trump and provide real, conservative change for Hoosiers.”
“Our grassroots campaign looks forward to building on tonight’s momentum. We’re proving to Hoosiers everywhere that Mike Braun is the conservative outsider who will defeat Joe Donnelly in November.”

Sullivan: House Supports Efforts To Secure Safe Homes For More Foster Children

0

The Indiana House of Representatives on Tuesday supported State Rep. Holli Sullivan’s (R-Evansville) efforts to secure safe homes for more foster children in need.

According to Sullivan, there are twice as many children in Indiana’s foster care system than there are available homes. She said Indiana’s drug epidemic is much to blame for the removal of children from dangerous environments. That’s why Sullivan sponsored legislation allowing foster parents to welcome up to six children in approved homes, so young Hoosiers can begin receiving the support they need.

“Many Hoosiers are opening their doors to children who need a safe and loving temporary home,” Sullivan said. “Currently, up to five children can be taken in by foster parents. By increasing that number to six, we can better address the issue of siblings being separated and help more children who often find themselves without a home due to their age.”

After being unanimously supported by the Senate and House of Representatives, Senate Enrolled Act 184 will go to the governor for his consideration.

Sullivan said Hoosiers who want to learn more about becoming a foster parent, supporting foster families or adoption opportunities can visit www.in.gov/dcs.

 

Child Pornography Arrest The latest Sign In Growing Trend

0

Rob Burgess for www.theindianalawyer.com

A Scott County man’s arrest on child pornography charges by the Indiana State Police is the latest sign of a growing trend reported by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

ISP detectives executed a search warrant early Tuesday in Scottsburg, where they seized a computer that allegedly contained child pornography.

Tyler S. Tscheulin, 23, of Scottsburg, was arrested and charged with possession of child pornography and dissemination of child pornography. He is incarcerated at the Scott County Jail awaiting his first court appearance.

The search warrant was the result of a tip received by the ISP from the NCMEC.

Sgt. Jerry Goodin, ISP public information officer, said this sort of reporting has become quite routine.

“If they see something that needs to be looked into, they flag it and they send it to us and say, ‘Hey, listen, we’ve got this information,’” he said.

Lindsay Olson, director of the Exploited Child Division at NCMEC, said these sorts of tips are sent to their CyberTipline by the public and electronic service providers.

Olson said companies such as Facebook, Twitter and Google are mandated by law to report child pornography, online enticement of children for sexual acts and child sex trafficking. Passed in 1998, 42 U.S.C. § 13032 requires anyone engaged in providing an electronic communication service to the public who obtains knowledge of a violation of the child pornography statutes to report such violation to the NCMEC. Failure to report is subject to a fine of up to $50,000 in the first instance and $100,000 subsequently. No service provider may be held civilly liable for any action taken in good faith to comply with the reporting requirement.

“They do not have to search for it, it’s just when they’re made aware of it they need to then submit a report,” Olson said. “However, many of the companies do engage in voluntary, proactive measures to locate that content on their system and then report it to the CyberTipline. Companies don’t want this type of content on their platform.”

Olson said once a report is received, the information is passed along to relevant law enforcement agencies in that area. More than 12.7 million reports of suspected child sexual exploitation were made to the CyberTipline between its launch in March 1998 and June 2016.

The number of these reports has increased exponentially in the past few years. In 2017 alone, 10.2 million reports were received, up from 8.2 million in 2016, 4.4 million in 2015 and 1.1 million in 2014.

For more information on the CyberTipline or to file a report, visit www.cybertipline.com or call 800-843-5678.
