Evansville played their first preseason exhibition against Trevecca and won 83-40 in a relative laffer...
It was a blowout from the start.
Marty Simmons' son, freshman Blake Simmons, started and had 14 pts, 8 rebs, 4 asst.
Adam Wing had 12/7 and Mockevicius started and was just 1-3, 6 pts, 5 reb
Their bench played a lot of minutes but did not contribute much - even against this weak opponent suggesting they may lack depth.
As we have seen in every early season game - there were
plenty of fouls and Evansville went to the FT line 36 times (to 12 for Trevecca) and hauled in 29 points from the line.
Washington's Alec Peters had his debut as Valpo wins 69-60 over Hillsdale - again plenty of fouls & FTs, Lavonte Dority 15, ex-Hoosier Bobby Capobianco was scoreless
Peters started, was 5-10 with 3-4 from the arc, and finished with 17 points, 6 rebs in just 24 minutes .
In fact, the news story credits Peters for taking over in the 2nd half when Valpo was down five and rallying them with a 13-point run!!!
7-footer Moussa Gueye - transfer from Alabama, went 1-4, 4 pts, 4 rebs
Transfer Keith Carter from Saint Louis isn't eligible until 2nd semester (Dec. 21) but did play a bit in an
open practice/scrimmage a week ago
IU beat southern Indiana by 15 but the game was a lot closer than the 17K fans wanted
USI actually lead much of the 1st half, it was tied until about 5 min to go, and was even within 2 pts in the 2nd half
IU didn't get a double digit lead until the final 7 minutes, despite an enormous advantage in rebouding (53-32) and an advantage in fouls and FT's (32-7)
