IS IT TRUE Mayor Winnecke and his re-election team did a masterful job in getting out  the vote?  …the political mandate that Mayor Winnecke received last night gave him total control of all future capital projects in his 2nd term?  …we wish all the winners the best in the next four years and hope they will govern well?

IS IT TRUE that a political deal has been cut and 2nd Ward City Councilwomen Missy Mosby will be the next President of City Council?

IS IT TRUE we highly recommend that the Democratic candidate for Governor bypass Evansville/Vanderburgh County in search of votes because the local Democrats party is officially dormant for the next 4 years? … thanks to the local main stream media, local unions, Missy Mosby,  Jonathan Weaver, Laura Brown Windhorst,  and the Democratic party chairmen for making this happen?

IS IT TRUE we are sadden to hear that our outstanding State Representative Gail Riecken will not seek re-election to her seat?  … we can’t disagree with her decision and wish her well in future endeavors?

USI opens 2015-16 with exhibition at Illinois State

0

University of Southern Indiana Men’s Basketball opens the 2015-16 campaign at 2 p.m. (CST) Sunday when it visits Illinois State University for an exhibition game in Normal, Illinois. The exhibition game is the only tune-up the Screaming Eagles will have before opening the regular season versus the University of Findlay and Lake Superior State University in the DII Vegas Showdown November 13-14 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Game coverage for the exhibition game, including live stats and audio broadcasts, is available at gousieagles.com. The games also can be heard on WEOA 98.5FM/1400AM and WPSR 90.7FM.

USI Men’s Basketball vs. Illinois State Exhibition Game Quick Notes: 

USI picked to place 3rd in GLVC East. The Eagles were predicted to place third in the GLVC East Division in 2015-16. USI was selected behind Bellarmine University, which was predicted to win the division, and the University of Indianapolis.

USI finished strong in 2014-15 regular season. USI finished strong in 2014-15 regular season, winning seven of the last eight games, including a season-best seven game winning streak. The Eagles rebounded after a rough January that saw them post a 6-5 mark.

Top returning scorers from 2014-15 . Senior forward George Edwards is the Eagles top returning scorer from 2014-15 with 12.9 points per outing. Junior guard Bobo Drummond is the second leading returning scorer with 9.9 point per game.

On the glass. Senior forward George Edwards led USI on the glass with 7.8 rebounds per game off the bench in 2014-15. Edwards had a team-high six double-doubles and eight double-digit rebound games last year.

New team in 2015-16. The Eagles are almost an entirely different team in 2015-16 with nine new players. These new player need to replace an average of 41.9 points (55 percent) and 14.1 rebounds (38.7 percent) per game.

Championship tested newcomers. The last time junior guards Jeril Taylor and Cortez Macklin were on the same court, they helped Rend Lake College win the 2013 NJCAA National Championship, while freshman guard Alex Stein and freshman forward Jacob Norman made it to the IHSAA state championship game at Reitz High School.

Carter is third over 7-foot. Sophomore center Davis Carter becomes the third player over seven-foot tall in the history of the program. Carter follows seven-foot-six All-American John Hollinden (1979-81) and seven-foot-two Antonio Reyes (1986-89).

Eagles looking for first Division I exhibition win.  The Eagles are looking for their first victory in exhibition games against Division I opponents in 16 tries since 2003. USI has been competitive against its Division I preseason opponents – the University of Evansville (four games), University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, University of Tennessee (two games), University of Louisville, University of Cincinnati, Southern Illinois University, University of Illinois, Vanderbilt University, Purdue University, and Indiana University – but still is being outscored by an average of 79.1-64.6. The last time the Eagles defeated a Division I opponent came in the 1990-91 regular season when they defeated the University of Wisconsin, 78-66, in Madison, Wisconsin.

USI exhibition record since 1990: USI slipped under .500 in exhibition games since 1990 last year, falling 16-17.

Against the Illinois State and the Missouri Valley Conference. The USI-Illinois State exhibition game is the first meeting between the two programs (exhibition or regular season), while the Eagles are 0-4 in the regular season (0-3 vs. Southern Illinois University; 0-1 vs. Missouri State University) and 0-5 in exhibition games (0-4 vs. the University of Evansville; 0-1 vs. SIU) against teams from the Missouri Valley Conference.

Illinois State in 2014-15. The Redbirds of Illinois State finished last season with a 22-13 overall record and advanced to the finals of the MVC before finishing the season in the second round of the NIT.

0

Purple Aces swimmers Daniel O’Brien and Ethan O’Rourke each earned Swimmer of the Week honors on Monday for their efforts against Eastern Illinois over the weekend.

 

Senior Ethan O’Rouke claimed three victories in the Purple Aces 188-99 victory over EIU and was named the Mid-American Conference Swimmer of the Week for his performances. Along with three of his teammates, O’Rourke helped the Aces win the 200 medley relay with a time of 1:35.50, 2.31 seconds ahead of second place. His best performance came in the 200 back as his finish of 1:56.76 was over 8 seconds better than anyone else. He also took top honors in the 100 back with a time of 52.16.

 

O’Brien was named the MAC Swimmer of the Week by CollegeSwimming.com.  He had a stellar day on Saturday, picking up three victories.  His finish of 1:47.56 in the 500 free edged out the competition.  He took top honors in the 100 free with a 47.98 before leading the way in the 100 fly.  He swam a 52.25 in that race to come out with the victory.

Evansville’s Whitney Biggs Named MVC Goalkeeper of the Week

0

University of Evansville women’s soccer player Whitney Biggs was named the Missouri Valley Conference Goalkeeper of the Week on Tuesday.

 

The junior goalkeeper was instrumental in guiding the UE women’s soccer team to a 1-0 win over Missouri State (Oct. 29), clinching the #2 seed in the upcoming MVC Tournament. Filling in for an injured Simone Busby, Biggs made four saves, all in the second half to preserve the victory. The Bloomington, Ind. native recorded back to back saves in the 62nd and 63rdminutes, and turned away an Erin Stewart shot with just four seconds left to secure the Purple Aces’ third consecutive conference win. The solo shutout was the first of Biggs’ collegiate career, helping UE earn a bye into the MVC Semifinals.

 

“Whitney has stepped up tremendously when her team has needed her and I am happy she is getting recognized for that,” said Evansville head women’s soccer coach Krista McKendree. “She shows up every day, gives 100%, and that is why she has been ready when called upon. She has done an incredible job of focusing on ensuring she was prepared for her opportunities; without that we might not be in this position. Her role in these last games has been instrumental.”

 

The MVC Tournament will be held at Arad McCutchan Stadium with a pair of Semifinal contests on Friday, Nov. 6 and the Championship match on Sunday, Nov. 8.

 

The semifinals start with #1 Drake and #5 Loyola at 3:36 p.m. The opening match will be followed by #2 Evansville and #6 UNI at 6:06 p.m.
