Proud2BAHoosier Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 I know it isn't the "Big Dance", but Evansville is hosting the Division 2 elite eight with games starting today. What is significant is our USI Screamin' Eagles are in the tourney thanks to them beating their arch nemesis, Bellarmine. The Eagles did win the Div. ll tourney when some guy named Bruce Pearl was the coach. Can the Eagles win another one again? Stay Tuned!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my most favorite Purple Aces players of all time. And then getting on the way back machine. Jerry Sloan.

I got to play 1 game a year at Batesville and coached a lot of games there. Their announcer did it for 40 years or more very distinct voice and probably my favorite high school PA guy but the night Colt lit us up I was so sick of hearing him say Colt Ryan for 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zlinedavid Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 I'll toss an Evansville player name in: Craig Snow 97-01. Only D1 athlete I ever played against. Football, not basketball. I was a sophomore when he was a senior. I was covering a kickoff and he ran me over like roadkill lol. I think I got an assist for slowing him down a little.

BGleas Posted March 28, 2019 Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 That was fun, you guys motivated me go look up the D2 bracket. My alma mater lost in the Sweet Sixteen last year, and just looked at the bracket and my wife’s alma mater (from the same conference I played in) was a #1 seem this year but looks like they got upset in the Sweet Sixteen.

Go Eagles!!!! I'll bet the crowd was jumpin' at the Ford Center!!! Just pulled this from one of our local stations "A record 7,330 fans were on-hand, making it the largest attended quarterfinal or semifinal Elite Eight game. It is also the second largest crowd for a Division II tournament game." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgambill Posted March 28, 2019 Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 I went to USI when Pearl was there. We were regularly ranked in top 10. Great ball games. Hope they win! Maybe playing IU prepared them for greatness lol. Glad to see they are back at the top again. Back then we could have beaten U of E....but of course Pearl was pretty shady...bringing in guys that flunked/kicked out of Michigan etc....I’ve hoped we would eventually make div 1 but I don’t think enough powers in the city etc want another div 1 school competing against UE. Anyways Go Eagles! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgambill Posted March 29, 2019 Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 We could have had Div. 1, Div 2, and JUCO champions all from the state of Indiana...good to see basketball in Indiana well represented by Vincennes, USI, and Purdue. Hopefully they (USI) build off this success. Would love to see them win another championship! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
