Eagles win triple-overtime marathon, 122-113

0

The 12th-ranked University of Southern Indiana men’s basketball team outlasted Saint Joseph’s College through three overtimes and won, 122-113, Thursday evening in Rensselaer, Indiana. USI sees its record go to 19-1 overall and 9-1 in the GLVC, while Saint Joseph’s goes to 9-11, 3-7 GLVC.

The victory keeps USI in a tie for first in the GLVC East Division with 10th-ranked Bellarmine University. Both teams are 9-1 in conference play.

The Screaming Eagles were sluggish to start the road trip, falling behind, 19-9, with 13:35 left in the first half. A 10-2 USI run in the final three minutes gave the Eagles their only lead of the half, 38-37, before the Pumas scored the final five points to lead 42-38 at the intermission.

The battle between the two GLVC team continued into the second half, which featured four ties and 11 lead changes. The Eagles rallied to build a seven-point lead, 82-75, with 2:01 left in regulation when the Pumas went on a 12-5 run to tie the game, 87-87, and send the contest into three overtime periods.

The three overtime periods would see three different Eagles step up to get USI to the victory.

In the first overtime, senior guard/forward Jeril Taylor (Louisville, Kentucky) hit a three-point bomb with 42 seconds left to knot the game, 98-98, and force the second overtime. Taylor scored seven of USI’s 11 points in the first overtime.

The second overtime saw the Eagles lead all but the last 40 seconds as the teams scored seven points each and the Pumas tying the game, 105-105, with a three-pointer with 40 ticks on the clock to force a third extension of the contest. USI junior guard Marcellous Washington (Lexington, Kentucky) took his turn to pace the squad with five of the seven points, hitting two-of-three from the field, one-of-two from downtown.

In the final five minutes and the third overtime, USI sophomore guard Alex Stein (Evansville, Indiana) took over and led the Eagles to the victory. Stein scored eight points in the final period, hitting two-of-three from the field and a clutch four-of-five from the line as USI outscored Saint Joseph’s, 17-8, to close out the 122-113 victory.

The triple-overtime game was the fourth in the history of the USI men’s basketball program with the last occurring in the 1997-98 season (134-125 win over Northern State University in the Disney Division II Tip-Off Classic). USI is 3-1 all-time in triple-overtime contests.

Individually, Taylor led six Eagles in double-figures with 38 points in a team-high 51 minutes of action. The senior guard, who has reached 30-or-more points four times this season, was 12-of-27 from the field, four-of-eight from beyond the arc, and 10-of-11 from the line. He also grabbed a team-high 13 rebounds, marking his fifth double-double of the season.

Washington followed Taylor in the scoring column with 19 points, hitting a blistering seven-of-10 from the field, three-of-five from long range, and two-of-two from the line. Stein and senior guard Cortez Macklin (Louisville, Indiana) tied with 17 points each, while senior guard Bobo Drummond (Peoria, Illinois) and sophomore forward Jacob Norman (Evansville, Indiana) had 10 points each to round out the double-figure scorers.

Norman also was second on the team with 10 rebounds, marking his first career double-double.

The Eagles conclude the road swing Saturday at 2:15 p.m. (CST) when they visit the University of Indianapolis. The Greyhounds saw their seven-game winning streak stopped by Bellarmine, 81-75, tonight and watched their record fall to 10-8 overall, 7-3 GLVC.

Live coverage of USI-UIndy match-up can be found on GoUSIEagles.com.

The Eagles lead the all-time series with the Greyhounds, 54-21, and have a 16-13 advantage in games at Nicoson Hall. UIndy, which has won three of the last four contests with the Eagles, defeated USI last season at the Physical Activities Center, 82-78. Stein led the Eagles in last year’s loss with 18 points.

USI returns to the friendly surroundings of the Physical Activities Center February 2 when it begins Homecoming Week by hosting Missouri University of Science & Technology for a 7:30 p.m. The Eagles finish the weekend with their Homecoming game February 4 at 3:15 p.m. when they host Drury University.

NOTE: USI junior forward Julius Rajala (Finland) missed tonight’s game and is out in definitely due to an injury to his right hand that occurred during Monday’s practice. More information on Rajala’s injury or his return to the line-up will be released as it becomes available.

 Florey named one of top 50 pitchers in the country

Fastpitch News (FPN) unveiled its FPN 2017 Preseason TOP 50 NCAA Softball Pitchers. The ranking was derived from numerous statistics to formulate a total score. The strength of schedule was also taken into account for more grueling schedules.

University of Evansville sophomore Morgan Florey was 33rd on the list of 50 NCAA pitchers.  Florey was one of two Missouri Valley Conference pitchers named to the list as Drake’s Nicole Newman was picked 46th.

Florey, the reigning MVC Freshman of the Year, tossed 190 innings in her freshman campaign while recording 214 strikeouts on her way to a 1.95 ERA.  She won 16 games and went the distance on 14 occasions.

On the offensive side of the ball, Florey was also dominant, hitting .297 with 8 home runs, 26 RBIs and 20 walks.

Evansville is set to officially begin the 2017 season on February 17 at the Plainsman Invite in Auburn, Alabama.

UE takes on Illinois State at the Ford Center

The lone undefeated team in Missouri Valley Conference play will be at the Ford Center on Sunday as Illinois State will take on the University of Evansville men’s basketball team at 3 p.m.

During the game, the latest UE Athletics Hall of Fame class will be recognized.  The 1958-59 UE men’s National Championship team is included in the class along with Kate Chybowski (women’s tennis), Jamie Davison (softball), Willie Glen (baseball) and women’s soccer players Kayla Lambert and Terra May.

Trailing by as many as 18 points in the first half, the Aces rallied to get within five points in the second half before UNI was able to hang on for a 61-54 win on Wednesday.  Despite being held to just two points in the first half, senior Jaylon Brown notched 11 points in the second half to finish with 13; he also had 7 assists and 6 rebounds.  David Howard and Ryan Taylor tallied 11 points apiece while Howard was the teams top rebounder with 8.

Brown continues to be the Aces leader with 20.6 points per game.  That tally also remains the top in the MVC and ranks in the top 30 in the nation.  On the rebounding side, Howard’s eight caroms at UNI pushed his tally to a team-best 4.8 per game.

Illinois State sits atop the Missouri Valley Conference with a perfect 9-0 mark in league play and an overall record of 17-4.  On Wednesday, the Redbirds held off a furious charge from Indiana State to earn a 71-66 home win over the Sycamores.

Deontae Hawkins leads a trio of double figure scorers, checking in with 15.2 points per game; he is also their top rebounder with 7.0 per contest.  MiKyle McIntosh averages 13.5 PPG while Paris Lee stands at 12.9.  Lee paces the MVC with 5.3 assists per game and ranks second with 2.2 steals per contest.  Hawkins was the leader for ISU against the Sycamores, finishing with 19 points and 12 rebounds; Phil Fayne also finished the game with 19.

On December 29, Illinois State picked up a 62-50 win over the Aces to move the series tally to a 36-19 margin in their favor.  The Redbirds have won five of the last six match-ups against UE including the last two games at the Ford Center.

BREAKING NEWS: Keith Jewell to Step Down as President of St. Mary’s Health

0

 

EVANSVILLE, IN – Today Keith Jewell announced he will be stepping down from his position as President of St. Mary’s Health, effective February 28, 2017. Jewell has served in this position since December 2013 and has been instrumental in helping to improve the care in the southwest region of Indiana during this time.

“We appreciate all that Keith has accomplished during his time in Evansville,” said Jonathan Nalli, CEO, St. Vincent – Indiana, Senior Vice President, Ascension Healthcare, and Indiana Ministry Market Executive. “Last summer Keith initiated this discussion with me and agreed to remain in his position through the completion of several important projects, including his significant role in leading the name transition for St. Mary’s Health to St. Vincent, reflecting the unity of our Indiana Ministry Market,” added Nalli.

Under Jewell’s guidance, St. Mary’s Health and its associates have made tremendous advancements in delivering quality, personalized healthcare to the communities they serve. The ambulatory care network has been expanded to create better and more convenient access for patients with the opening of three urgent care centers. The health system also acquired Tri-State Community Clinics, growing lives under care by 44 percent in the past 12 months. In partnership with Tri-State Orthopedic Surgeons, a 48-bed orthopedic hospital will soon be under construction. In addition, St. Mary’s Health was redesignated as a Magnet facility in 2016 and was recognized as one of the top five hospitals in Ascension for associate engagement.

Jewell said, “I am so grateful for the opportunity I have had to return to my hometown and lead such an outstanding organization. I am proud of what our team of leaders, associates and physicians has accomplished to advance healthcare in our community. While this was a difficult decision for me to make, I am looking forward to joining my family full time in Indianapolis.”

Dan Parod, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, St. Mary’s Health, has been named Interim President as the hospital begins a formal search for Jewell’s replacement.

On Monday, Eighth District Congressman Larry Bucshon, M.D. took to the House floor to share stories from his constituents regarding their experiences with Obamacare. The stories were shared with Dr. Bucshon during a round table he hosted in Terre Haute last week.

“…these are real stories from real people in my district who want relief from Obamacare,” said Bucshon. “We are working to save patients from the disastrous consequences of this law and to build a better healthcare system that lowers costs, expands access, and empowers patients.”  

His full speech can be viewed here: https://youtu.be/atFoPgIXwZU.

Last week, Bucshon hosted a round table discussion with Hoosiers from the Wabash Valley to discuss the impacts of Obamacare. Participants discussed issues with skyrocketing premiums, unaffordable deductibles, restricted access to physicians, and loss of coverage.
