Jordan Nelson leaves Evansville

he didn't get much playing time - but late in the season when Evansville hit the skids and lost 7 out of 10 games between mid-Jan & mid-Feb (in that 10-game stretch Jordan played just 27 minutes total) - Jordan suddenly was used as a key sub (avweraged 10 mpg over the final nine games) and he really produced!

Jordan started playing double digit minutes per game in their game vs. ISU (2/20) but over their final seven games - he shot 70% from the 3-pt line (7-10) and 80% from the field overall (12-15)!

After losing 7 of 10 from 1/16 thru 2/16 - the Aces then went on to win 7 of their final 9 - and most of those games Jordan was playing 10-17 minutes and contributing.

There are also some rumors that Evansville center Ryan Sawvell might not return.

bingo Ryan Sawvell saw his playing time shrink - not sure why as he always seemed to look good and play well against us..
but Sawvell has left Evansville and will transfer
 
Jordan Nelson is having a decent year over at Illinois Wesleyan. He's their designated 3-pt shooter - he was 4-4 Saturday night and 3-3 from the arc and scored a team high 16 as IWU beat 21st ranked Wheaton 78-71.
On the season he has been coming off thebench for about 16 mpg & hits right around 40% from 3.
