Aces Ready For Senior Day Matchup Against UNI

0
Aces To Play Final Regular Season Game Tomorrow

For the final time in the regular season, University of Evansville seniors D.J. Balentine, Egidijus Mockevicius and Adam Wing will take to the Ford Center floor as they are set to wrap up the season looking for their 24th victory of the season when they face UNI on Saturday at 1 p.m.

The first 5,000 fans will receive a commemorative Senior Day print courtesy of ARC Construction Company.  Fans are encouraged to be in their seats early as Senior Day ceremonies will begin roughly 15 minutes before the game.  Following the contest, the trio along with head coach Marty Simmons, will address the crowd.

A great crowd is expected as the lower bowl of the Ford Center is sold out and upper bowl seating is now available.  Walk-up tickets will be available until game time or online at Ticketmaster.com.

The regular season comes to an end as the Purple Aces wrap it up with a huge game against UNI.  Evansville is guaranteed to be either the #2 or 3 seed in the MVC as the squad heads to Arch Madness; the Aces are tied with Illinois State and an ISU loss and UE win on Saturday would guarantee UE the second seed.  Should the schools be tied following the regular season, the tiebreaker will come down to whoever has the higher RPI according to Jim Sukup’s RPI Report on the morning of Sunday, Feb. 28.

UE picked up its 23rd victory of the season, taking a 67-55 win at Bradley on Tuesday evening.  It was the duo of D.J. Balentine and Egidijus Mockevicius leading the way; Balentine totaled 22 points, hitting the 20-point mark for the third game in a row.  Mockevicius notched his 8th double-double in a row and NCAA-leading 25th of the season, finishing with 20 points and 17 rebounds.  He officially broke the program mark for rebounds in the win and is the first in program history to notch 1,200 in his career; he currently has 1,202 in his career.

Saturday will be the final home game for a senior class that includes: D.J. Balentine, Egidijus Mockevicius and Adam Wing.  The three have led the Aces to 20+ wins in three of their four years with the program, something not done by a senior class at UE since 1994.  Head coach Marty Simmons has led UE to Senior Day wins in seven of the last eight years.

UNI begins Saturday with a record of 18-12 and 10-7 in the Valley, they are guaranteed the #4 or 5 seed heading into Arch Madness.  The Panthers are coming off of a dominant 66-44 win over Indiana State in their home finale on Wednesday as seniors Wes Washpun and Matt Bohannon led the way.  Washpun totaled a game-high 16 points while Bohannon had 14 points and 7 rebounds; he also knocked down four three-pointers as UNI shot 45.3% and held the Sycamores to just 27.3% shooting.  Overall, Washpun leads UNI with 14.1 points per game and a conference-leading total of 163 assists.  Bohannon checks in with 12.5 PPG and is one of the top outside shooters in the league, hitting 42.9% of his long range attempts.

ICYMI: Bucshon, Congress backs court challenge to Obama’s climate plan

2

(WASHINGTON, DC) –This week, Eighth District Congressman Larry Bucshon, M.D. and 204 members of Congress filed an amicus brief supporting petitions filed by 27 states, including Indiana, seeking to overturn the Environmental Protection Agency’s Clean Power Plan. 

The Associated Press reported, “A brief filed Tuesday with the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington argues that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency overstepped its legal authority and defied the will of Congress by regulating carbon dioxide emissions.”

After joining the amicus brief, Bucshon stated, “Congress has repeatedly tried to overturn these regulations through legislation; however, the President and his allies continue blocking our legislative efforts in order to protect their ideological climate change agenda. Now we’re taking the fight to the courts because we believe the way forward is through innovation and technology advancements, not unlawful federal regulations that cannot be met, damage the economy, and cost jobs. I’m proud to help file this amicus brief, in support of states like Indiana, requesting that the D.C. Circuit Court vacate these regulations that have been temporarily blocked by the Supreme Court.”

Adopt A Pet

Meet the newest potbellied VHS resident! Bella is a female potbellied pig who’s about 2 years old. She was originally found as a stray in Tennyson, Indiana. She is leash-trained and housetrained, good-natured, and will be a great indoor pet! Her favorite foods are apples and oranges, but her main diet is pig chow. Bella’s adoption fee is $350 because it covers the cost of her spay surgery (which is just over $300.) Call (812) 426-2563 or visit www.vhslifesaver.org for adoption information!

 

Indiana State Police Participating in the ICJI March Enforcement Campaign.

0

Indiana Statewide– The Indiana State Police announced today they will join over 250 other Indiana law enforcement agencies to increase education and enforcement around dangerous and impaired driving. From March 4 through March 27, 2016, state troopers, county deputies and city police officers all across Indiana will conduct high-visibility patrols specifically designated to identify and intercept those driving aggressively and under the influence.

“I enjoy the month of March, with all the great basketball as well as the St. Patrick’s Day holiday, just as much as any other Hoosier,” said Indiana State Police Superintendent Doug Carter. “But I caution anyone thinking of using this, or any other reason, as an excuse for driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.”  Carter concluded, “Speaking for the state police, nearly all of us, like most of you, have friends and loved ones that will be out on the road driving responsibly.  So if we see people who are driving dangerously; know that we will stop them and if they’re impaired, they will be arrested.”

Increased enforcement during March is a statewide effort supported by federal funding allocated to the Indiana State Police from the Traffic Safety division of the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute (ICJI).  Over the course of this enforcement campaign the state police will have more than 150 troopers working overtime looking for aggressive or impaired drivers.

According to ICJI, in March 2015 there were 529 alcohol-related crashes across Indiana, resulting in 214 injuries and five fatalities. Additionally, during the same period, crash reports indicate 1,606 collisions occurred due to dangerous driving, resulting in 332 injuries and four fatalities. Dangerous driving includes such factors as “speed too fast for weather conditions,” “driver distracted,” and “driver asleep or fatigued.”

“Keeping our roadways safe is a priority.” said ICJI Executive Director Dave Murtaugh. “Our dedicated officers who patrol our roadways all across the state are the first line of defense. Motorist need to do their part to ensure our roadways are safe by making responsible choices. From watching the basketball tournament action to taking part in St. Patrick’s Day celebrations, it’s up to you to be safe and responsible. If you are going to drink, do not drive. It’s that simple.”

Crashes resulting from dangerous and impaired driving are preventable. The ISP and ICJI would like to remind motorists safe driving is as simple as following these easy steps:

 

  • Before the celebration begins, plan a safe way home
  • Do not drive impaired
  • If you do drink, use a taxi, public transportation, ridesharing service or designate a sober friend or family member, and give them your keys
  • If you see a drunk driver on the road, call 911
  • If you know someone who is about to drive or ride impaired, take their keys and help make arrangements to get them home safely

Women’s Tennis to Host UT Martin and Eastern Illinois

0

  The University of Evansville Women’s Tennis Team (2-7, 0-0 MVC) will see their first home action of the season on Saturday when they host the University of Tennessee Martin at 4:30 p.m. CST and then will follow that up with a match against Eastern Illinois at 7:30 p.m. CST.  Both matches will be played at Tri-State Athletic Club.  The home action will wrap up a stretch of nine straight road matches for the Aces.

Head Coach Jayson Wiseman said, “Our team is very excited to finally get to host some matches on our home courts.  The traveling to play a number of very tough teams has been good to build mental toughness, but to play at home will be a welcome advantage. Despite the home court advantage we will have to be at the top of our game because both of this weekend’s opponents are very tough.  Hopefully we will get a nice crowd out to support us at Tri-State and create a positive home environment for our team”

UE is coming off a weekend where they played four matches in two days.  They saw action against IUPUI, Ball State, Findlay, and Wright State.  The Aces finished the weekend 1-3 with their victory coming over the Oilers of Findlay.  In the match against the Oilers, The Aces were able to win every match with the exception of flight one singles to secure the victory.

Kennedy Craig had a superb showing this past weekend when she was able to grab four wins in four matches for the Aces at flight five singles.  This puts Craig at a record of 6-3 during her current spring campaign.

The Skyhawks from Tennessee Martin come into the match against the Aces with a record of 0-6.  Most recently, they come off a match against East Tennessee State where they were defeated by a score of 4-0.  Eastern Illinois comes in with a record of 4-3 and boast wins over Butler, Western Illinois, St. Francis, and most recently, Chicago State.

The Aces will have some down time after this weekend with their next match coming on March 10th when they head to Macon, GA to take on Mercer.  Their next home match will come on March 13th when they host Southeast Missouri State.
