Fans Make UE
Victory Seem Like More than Exhibition Game
This was an exhibition game? It felt
more like the NCAA Tournament.
With 11,597 screaming basketball
fans in attendance at Roberts Stadium, the
Evansville
led by six points with 48 seconds to play, but two missed free throws by the
Purple Aces and a three-pointer by USI's Geoff Van Winkle with 20 seconds remaining
put the Eagles in position to win the game. They took possession with 13
seconds to play, but Kenny Love's three-pointer hit the back of the rim, and by
the time the ensuing scramble for the rebound was over, time had expired.
"We were tested at the
four-to-five minute mark, and responded very well," said
Added USI coach Rick Herdes, "
Evansville has all five starters
back from a 10-19 team while USI, a member of the Great Lakes Valley
Conference, has three of its top five players back from a 27-7 team that
reached the Division II Regional last March. Veterans Bradley Strickland and
Matt Webster led the Aces with 18 and 17 points, respectively. Eight others
scored between three and eight points for the Aces. Three newcomers led the
Eagles in scoring.
UE shot 44 percent (27-61) but was
just 2-for-15 from 3-point range. USI shot 53 percent (27-51), including
7-for-18 on 3-point attempts, and also had a 40-31 rebounding edge.
"This was a great test early in
the year," Merfeld said. "We did a lot of things well, and we have
some things to work on. But at least our young guys understand what it's like
to play in front of 11,000 noisy fans. It was a great atmosphere."
The Aces host the region's other
traditional Division II power,
USI Wins Scion

time out at the game by Kenny Kent; while the UE students took back to school a
