                                                            Late rally Propels Morehead State past Aces
                                     Noe (17 points), Scott (16), and Dossett (15) all finish in double figures for Evansville

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Back inside Meeks Family Fieldhouse for the first time in nearly three weeks, the University of Evansville women’s basketball team ran out to an early lead before Morehead State pulled away in the final minutes in an 82-75 loss for the Aces on Sunday afternoon.

“We shot the ball really well, we’re at home, and we got out to a really big lead and you can’t lose that opportunity to win,” said Aces head coach Matt Ruffing. “I felt like we got a little complacent and just kind of forgot what we did to get to the point that we did when we were leading 35-15 in the second quarter. That’s on us and we’ll make sure we take care of that.”

Graduate guard Hannah Noe led the Aces in scoring for the fourth time this season, recording 17 points, while junior center Kelsi Scott and senior guard Brooke Dossett both chipped-in double-digit scoring performances with 16 and 15 points, respectively. Morehead State was led by Darianne Seward who scored 31 points and Miranda Crockett who added 25.

Evansville opened the game on a tear, as the Aces shot 63.6% from the field in the first quarter including going a perfect 8-8 from the charity stripe. In the closing seconds of the quarter, Scott posted up and backed down her defender and scored off the glass to push the Aces’ lead to its largest point in the opening frame at 24-12.

In the second quarter, the Aces utilized the momentum they had built in the first ten minutes. Evansville kept its foot on the accelerator, increasing its advantage all the way to 20 at 35-15 on a jumper by sophomore guard Macie Lively with 7:17 left in the quarter. Following the Aces pushing their lead to its largest point of the game, the Eagles responded with a 19-3 run to close the period, trimming the Aces’ lead to just 38-34 at the half.

On two occasions in the third quarter, Evansville pushed its lead back to 11, but Morehead State once again provided resistance. With the Aces up 55-44 with 5:31 on the clock in the third, the Eagles manufactured another run, this time a 14-4 spree that cut Evansville’s advantage to 59-58 heading into the fourth quarter.

The previous 30 minutes of action featured just one tie, but the final 10 minutes included five ties as each side struggled to take control of the contest. The turning point occurred with under 30 seconds to play when the Eagles went to the line and knocked-down seven of eight attempts at the free throw line to give Morehead State an 82-75 win.

Evansville shot a season-best 56.5% (26-46), while holding Morehead State to just 39.7% (27-68) shooting from the field, but the Eagles forced 29 turnovers by the Aces while committing just 17 of their own.

USI Women Compete In First Indoor Meet

0

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Women’s Track & Field competed in their first indoor meet of the season Friday night at the UIndy Winter Break Meet in Indianapolis, Indiana.

 Without having its distance runners compete, USI was represented by just three athletes, including two freshmen making their collegiate debuts in long jumper/sprinter Ralen Campbell (Indianapolis, Indiana) and sprinter Dakota Gates (Columbus, Indiana).

Campbell competed in both the long jump and 200 meters, tying for seventh in the long jump with a distance of 16 feet, three inches. She placed 18th in the 200-meters in a time of 28.46 seconds, good for eighth in program history.

Also in the 200-meters, Gates placed ninth in 27.80 seconds, which put her with the fourth best time in the record books.

The other Screaming Eagle to compete was sophomore pole-vaulter Rylie Smith (Floyds Knobs, Indiana).  Smith placed fifth with a vault of 8’9″.

USI will return to action after the holiday break for the Gene Edmonds Open on January 13 in West Lafayette, Indiana.

Messer Reacts to Donnelly’s Bipartisan Ranking

1
Donnelly Claims Bipartisanship, Except When It Counts
A recent study from Georgetown University ranked Senator Joe Donnelly among the most bipartisan senators.
Unfortunately the study was based solely on bill sponsorships and co-sponsorships, not votes or results. Another study from the Center for Effective Lawmaking, which took into account whether a Senator’s bills actually advanced or became law, ranked Donnelly “least effective” in his entire party.
“Senator Joe Donnelly claims bipartisanship, except when it counts,” Messer said. “On issues that matter to Hoosiers, Senator Donnelly votes lockstep with his liberal leadership in the Senate to block the President’s agenda. He votes with Chuck Schumer and Elizabeth Warren 80 percent of the time.”
“When President Trump looks for bipartisan support in the Senate, Senator Donnelly never steps up to the plate. He was the deciding vote against repealing Obamacare, and he just voted against the President’s tax cut plan… despite feigning bipartisan interest for months,” Messer said. “Senator Donnelly is not working with the President, he’s not voting with Hoosiers, and he’s not delivering results.”

Justices To Decide If Sex Offender’s Internet Restriction Unconstitutional

0

Olivia Covington for www.theindianalwyer.com

After being convicted of incest with his teenage niece, a Tippecanoe County man’s sentence contained several probation conditions, including a prohibition on accessing websites “frequented by children” and a prohibition on internet use without prior approval. Those conditions are the subject of an appeal now under review by the Indiana Supreme Court, which will decide whether the conditions, as applied, are unconstitutional.

During oral arguments Thursday in Kristopher Weida v. State of Indiana, 79S02-1711-CR-00687, Brian Karle, counsel for Weida, argued against the constitutionality of the probation conditions, telling the justices the conditions can be viewed as the equivalent of a complete internet ban. That’s because there’s no guarantee Weida’s probation officer would approve any requests for internet use, and because there are no parameters defining what a website “frequented by children” is.

Weida made similar arguments before the Indiana Court of Appeals, but a majority of the appellate panel upheld the conditions in August. Judge John Baker, however, dissented as to the requirement for Weida to get permission before using the web, finding that condition was “unduly intrusive and unnecessarily restrictive.”

Karle agreed, noting the internet can be used for finding jobs, connecting with family, staying informed and more. He likened his client’s probation conditions to a ban 30 years ago on using a television or telephone or reading the newspaper.

But Monika Talbot, counsel for the state, said the conditions imposed on Weida do not constitute any sort of Internet ban at all. Rather, he is free to go to his probation officer at any time and ask for permission, and then to use the internet once that permission is granted.

Chief Justice Loretta Rush pushed back on that point, noting probation officers carry heavy caseloads and likely would not be able to respond to Weida’s requests for permission as quickly as he would like. Talbot, however, said Weida could arrange a meeting with his probation officer to develop guidelines regarding which sites he can access on his own and which sites he must seek permission to use.

The U.S. Supreme Court case Packingham v. North Carolina, 582 U.S. __ (2017), was a central part of Thursday’s arguments, with Karle arguing the Packingham decision — which struck down a North Carolina law banning sex offenders from accessing websites frequented by minors — proved Weida’s probation conditions were a violation of his First Amendment rights. But Talbot said Packingham spoke to offenders who, unlike Weida, had already completed their sentences.

The definition of a website frequented by children also seemed to be a sticking point for the justices, particularly justices Mark Massa and Geoffrey Slaughter, who wanted to know whether websites for organizations such as the Wall Street Journal and ESPN would fall into that category. Talbot said no, arguing the restriction applies to websites children use to communicate with each other.

But Karle disagreed, telling the justices even the Wall Street Journal’s website might be visited by older teenagers. Thus, even though it might seem unreasonable for the Wall Street Journal to be covered by the probation condition, Karle said the plain language of the condition would prohibit Weida from accessing that or similar websites.

The justices also engaged in a discussion of whether the conditions should be more narrowly tailored. On that point, Karle argued the conditions imposed on Weida were overbroad, considering websites such as the Wall Street Journal or ESPN were not related to his crime or rehabilitation, or the state’s interest in the case.

While Talbot conceded there would be no harm in the court setting out guidelines for narrowly tailoring probation conditions, she also said in this case, the conditions are not overbroad. She pointed specifically to the fact that prior to committing his offense, Weida logged on to an incest website with his niece, thus using the internet to “groom” her to become his victim.

Oral arguments in the case can be viewed here.
