EAGLES ARE HOME!
The University of Southern Indiana men’s basketball team opens its 2016-17 home schedule Saturday and Sunday with an abbreviated Bill Joergens Memorial Classic at the Physical Activities Center. Game time Saturday versus Ohio Valley University is 7:30 p.m., while tip-off Sunday against Lees-McRae College is 7 p.m.
The Bill Joergens Memorial Classic is dedicated to the memory of Bill Joergens, who played on the first USI men’s basketball team in the late 1960s and continued his support of USI Athletics by becoming chair of the Varsity Club. A part of Joergens’ legacy is the development of the Varsity Club Steak Fry and Auction, which has raised nearly $500,000 since 1992. Upon losing his battle with cancer, Joergens left a major portion of his estate to the USI men’s basketball program. The estate funds this tournament and fifth-year scholarship aid for USI men’s basketball players, who have exhausted their eligibility.
Game coverage for the home games, including live stats, video stream, and audio broadcasts, is available at GoUSIEagles.com. The games also can be heard on WEOA 98.5FM/1400AM and 95.7FM The Spin.
