Aces finish non-conference season with 11-2 mark
 Three players scored 19 points as the University of Evansville men’s basketball team wrapped up its regular season non-conference schedule with a 91-70 victory over Alabama A&M on Tuesday night at the Ford Center.
D.J. Balentine, Jaylon Brown and Egidijus Mockevicius finished with 19 points apiece to lead the Purple Aces (11-2). Brown’s total was the best of his career, eclipsing the 17 points he had five days ago against Norfolk State. In just 24 minutes of action, Mockevicius totaled 19 points and 18 rebounds. Balentine’s finish came on a night where he was recognized for scoring his 2000th point last week.
Combined, the three hit 21 out of 30 shots as the Aces shot 66.7% as a team. Adam Wing finished the game with nine points while Blake Simmons notched a career-best 8 assists.
“This is big for us,†Brown said. “To finish with a win is great for our mind set going into conference play.â€
Ladarius Tabb led Alabama A&M (4-4) with 30 points on a 12-of-22 shooting night. Nicholas West finished with 19.
“Our guys were really unselfish, passing up good shots to get better shots,†head coach Marty Simmons said.
Evansville scored the first seven points of the game, hitting 3 of its first 4 shots while holding Alabama A&M to 0-5 in the opening minutes. A free throw by Egidijus Mockevicius gave UE its first double figure lead at 14-4 before the Bulldogs fought back.
Back-to-back triples saw them cut the lead to seven at 21-14 at the 11:56 mark. Evansville grabbed the momentum right back, finishing the half on a 26-13 run to take a 47-27 lead into the break. As a team, UE shot 63% in the first half while Mockevicius had 13 points and 14 rebounds in just 14 minutes of play.
It was all Aces in the second half as they led by as many as 29 points before clinching the 21-point win. Evansville outrebounded Alabama A&M by a 37-25 final as Mockevicius led the way with 18.
Next up for the Aces is Indiana State as they open Missouri Valley Conference play on December 30. It will be West Side Night with the Aces as vouchers for $5 tickets are available at several locations West Side locations. There will also be recognition for Logan’s Promise.

IS IT TRUE DECEMBER 23 and 24, 2015
IS IT TRUE we hear it’s possible that City Council President elect Missy Mosby could declare “Executive Privileged” so she can personally appoint the next City Council attorney without Council members approval?
IS IT TRUE the Indiana State Board of Accounts audit of the City of Evansville for 2014 is to be made public next month? …We wonder what it will have to say about the DMD administered Federal grants?
IS IT TRUE the $3,735.204.00 Federal National Stimulus Program (NSP 1) was to be concluded during the 2014 City of Evansville audit period?
IS IT TRUE the Director of Metropolitan Development stated the NSP 1 Grant was ended in 2014, but money was left over and was going to be spent in 2015?  ….we wonder what kind of a grant ends but you spend the grant money in a later year?
IS IT TRUE we hear that the NSP1 grant administered by DMD was plagued with problems? … houses built,  could not be sold?  ..that houses remodeled exceeded budgets by multiples?
IS IT TRUE the NSP 1 grant administered by DMD is still not closed out?  … Evansville Brownfields failed to develop properties?  …that a bailout for Evansville Brownsfield Corporation is being proposed under the guise of funding a land bank?
IS IT TRUE the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development published a production report on NSP 1Â Grant status in May of this year? …that Evansville rated 60 percent completed and 40 percent unaccomplished after all the million of dollars of hard earned tax dollars was spent?
IS IT TRUE that DMD purchased the vacant and dilapidated CVS building located at 800 North Main Street? … DMD paid a whooping $561,750.00 for this property and the original plans were to convert this building into Offices and a Community Center for Echo Housing? Â …we now hear that DMD donated this half of million dollar plus building to Echo Housing who now have plans to lease it to another not-for-profit to train Service Dogs for our Wounded Warriors?
IS IT TRUE it seems like none of the above statements concerning the City of Evansville DMD Department participation in the Federal National Stimulus Program (NSP 1) is a concern of the DMD Director Kelly Coures?  …last week DMD Director Kelly Coures was on local T V telling us what an outstanding job he is doing in administering the “Blighted Property” money he receives from the Feds?  …all we can say is “really”?
U S Home Resales Posted Their Sharpest Drop In Five Years
U.S. home resales posted their sharpest drop in five years in November, a potential warning sign for the health of the U.S. economy, although new regulations on paperwork for home purchases may have driven the decline.

HOUSING SALES NATIONALLY
The National Association of Realtors said on Tuesday existing home sales plunged 10.5 percent to an annual rate of 4.76 million units. That was the sharpest decline since July 2010. October’s sales pace was revised slightly lower to 5.32 million units.
Housing has been providing a sizable boost to U.S. economic growth this year as a strengthening labor market and low interest rates have helped young adults to leave their parents’ homes.
Economists had forecast sales rising to a rate of 5.35 million units last month.
NAR economist Lawrence Yun said most of November’s decline was likely due to regulations that came into effect in October aimed at simplifying paperwork for home purchasing. Yun said it appeared lenders and closing companies were being cautious about using the new mandated paperwork.
Also potentially weighing on home sales, the median price for a U.S. existing home rose to $220,300 in November, up 6.3 percent from the same month in 2014. Yun said the steep rise in prices and shrinking inventories could also be constraining home purchases.
Sales dropped across the country, down 13.9 percent in the West, 6.2 percent in the South, 15.4 percent in the Midwest and 9.2 percent in the Northeast.
