Dr. Bucshon: U.S. Will Not Waiver in its Support of Israel
| (WASHINGTON, D.C.) –Congressman Larry Bucshon, M.D. voted on Thursday to rebuke a recent anti-Israel resolution passed by the United Nations Security Council just days before Christmas.
“The UN’s action is an attempt to delegitimize Israel and threatens stability in the region.Unfortunately, the Obama Administration turned its back on America’s strongest ally by abstaining from the vote – a veto by President Obama would have stopped the resolution in its tracks,â€Â said Bucshon. “A peaceful solution can only be achieved through direct, bilateral negotiations, not by directives from the UN. With our vote last night, Congress reaffirms that the United States will not waiver in its support of Israel.† H. Res. 11 expresses Congressional disproval of United Nations Security Council Resolution 2334. Immediately after the UN approved the resolution, Bucshon tweeted: “After today’s anti-Israel actions at the U.N., as well as other actions not in the interests of the U.S., we need to debate our U.N. funding.†|

Strong defensive effort lifts Eagles past Jewell, Stein to 300th win
University of Southern Indiana Women’s Basketball Head Coach Rick Stein earned his 300th career win Thursday evening as the Screaming Eagles defeated William Jewell College, 57-39, in a Great Lakes Valley Conference contest at the Physical Activities Center.
The Screaming Eagles (11-2, 3-0 GLVC) used a stifling defensive effort in the opening period as they built a comfortable 30-13 halftime deficit.
USI held the Cardinals without a field goal for nearly eight minutes to open the game as it jumped out to a 12-1 advantage. The Eagles held William Jewell to just 14.3 percent (2-14) shooting in the first quarter as they ended the period with a 16-6 advantage.
The Eagles went on an 11-0 run in the second period to build a commanding 30-8 lead before the Cardinals could get anything going.
William Jewell (5-6, 2-2 GLVC) scored the final five minutes of the half; then put up the first three points of the third quarter to cut USI’s lead to 14 points. USI, however, answered as junior guard/forward Kaydie Grooms (Marshall, Illinois) scored five straight points to put momentum back into the Eagles’ corner.
USI essentially ended any chance of a William Jewell comeback later in the quarter as the Eagles scored nine straight points to build a 44-20 lead with just under three minutes to play in the frame.
Grooms, who had five of USI’s nine points in the run, led the Eagles with a game-high 15 points, four assists, and three steals, while senior guard Tanner Marcum (New Albany, Indiana) added 11 points and five rebounds. Marcum had seven of USI’s first nine points in the contest.
Both teams struggled to take care of the ball as each finished with 22 turnovers. USI, however, had a 44-34 edge on the glass, led by junior forward Morgan Dahlstrom (Grayslake, Illinois), who finished with eight points and a team-best 11 rebounds.
Senior guard Maddie Nelson, who eclipsed the 1,000-point mark in her career, paced the Cardinals with 13 points and 10 rebounds. William Jewell shot just 23.5 percent (12-51) from the field and was 2-of-22 (.091) from three-point range.
USI returns to action Saturday at 1 p.m. when it hosts Rockhurst University at the PAC. The Hawks (8-3, 3-1 GLVC) suffered an 81-75 setback to No. 4 Bellarmine University Thursday evening in Louisville, Kentucky.
Eagles pull away from Cardinals to win 88-71
The University of Southern Indiana men’s basketball team restarted Great Lakes Valley Conference play with an 88-71 victory over William Jewell College Thursday evening at the Physical Activities Center. USI sees its record go to 13-0 overall for the third time in the history of the program and 3-0 in the GLVC, while William Jewell is 3-8, 0-4 GLVC.
The victory also was the 100th career victory at the Physical Activities Center for Head Coach Rodney Watson. Watson, who was named the Division II Bulletin Coach of the Month for December, has an overall career record of 171-49 (.777), 92-37 in the GLVC (.752).
The Screaming Eagles struggled to get a bucket in the first three minutes of the game, trailing early, 2-0 and 4-2, to the Cardinals before taking the lead for good on a 12-1 run to make the score, 14-5, with 13:31 left in the opening half. USI would push the lead to its largest of the first 20 minutes, 11 points, with an 8-0 burst to get the score to 27-16.
William Jewell, however, ignited for a run of its own to cut the USI margin to five points twice before the Eagles took a 45-37 lead into the intermission. Senior guard Jeril Taylor (Louisville, Kentucky) paced the Eagles during the first half with 15 points.
In the second half, USI began to pull away from William Jewell, using at 17-2 run midway through the period to extend its halftime lead to 22 points, 78-56, with 5:49 to play. Senior guard Cortez Macklin (Louisville, Kentucky) exploded in the second half to lead the Eagles’ run, hitting three three-point bombs and scoring all 12 of his points during the final 20 minutes.
The Eagles would go on to lead by as many as 24 points, 85-61, with 3:25 remaining and cruised to the 88-71 final.
Individually, Taylor would lead three Eagles in double-digits with 17 points, while sophomore guard Alex Stein (Evansville, Indiana) and Macklin followed with 13 points and 12 points, respectively.
USI concludes its three-game homestand Saturday at 3:15 p.m. when it welcomes Rockhurst University to the PAC. The USI-Rockhurst game Saturday is the annual Varsity Club/Alumni Association Soup & Hot Dog Dinner.
Rockhurst saw its record go to 7-4 overall, 1-2 in the GLVC, after losing, 80-71, at Bellarmine University tonight in Louisville, Kentucky. The loss snapped the Hawk’s four-game winning streak.
The Eagles are 16-1 all-time against Rockurst and have won the last 13-straight contests with the Hawks. USI, which is 7-0 versus the Hawks at the PAC, posted a 79-71 road victory last year behind the 19-point, eight-rebound effort of George Edwards.
