UE Mathematics Professor Clark Kimberling and engineer Peter Moses in England have an article published last Tuesday in Journal of Geometry. Entitled "Bivariate Coordinate Systems in Triangle Geometry," the article introduces several new geometric concepts, including even and odd central lines and a Steiner coordinate system. The Springer Nature Content Sharing Initiative enables you to view the article by clicking the following SharedIt link: https://rdcu.be/c36z9.

University of Evansville Professor of Mathematics, Mohammad K. Azarian, has been appointed by the American Mathematical Society (AMS) as the chair of the Human Rights of Mathematicians Committee. The AMS is committed to speaking whenever mathematicians (anywhere in the world) are deprived of the opportunity to practice their profession due to violations of the freedoms enumerated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Affirmation adopted by the U.S. National Academy of Sciences. This Committee will assist the Society in such matters by reviewing alleged violations of human rights of mathematicians and by recommending appropriate action to the AMS. Because of the global political instability at this time, the committee expect to receive a flood of cases from around the world this year. Dr. Azarian is grateful and honored to be asked by one of the world’s most respected scientific organization to lead this global humanitarian effort.

Continuing his inspiring journey from a walk-on to a starter, Gage Bobe paced the University of Evansville men’s basketball team in Saturday evening’s 81-69 loss to Valparaiso inside Athletics-Recreation Center.

Bobe recorded a career-high 22 points on 8-of-15 shooting versus the Beacons.  He drained six of Evansville’s nine 3-point makes in the game.  Yacine Toumi finished with 12 points while Marvin Coleman II added 10.  Ben Krikke paced Valpo with a game-high 30 points.  He fell one rebound shy of a double-double completing the game with nine.

“We came off a game where we had a great start and hoped that would carry over to tonight.  I felt like the way we prepared would give us a really good chance tonight,” Purple Aces head coach David Ragland said.  “They came out and punched us in the mouth and it is hard to come back from that.”

Five of the first six attempts from the field found the bottom of the net to put Valparaiso up 12-0 in the opening three minutes of the contest.  Kenny Strawbridge Jr. took a feed from Yacine Toumi to get Evansville’s first basket at the 16:30 mark.

Up by a 15-8 score, the Beacons tacked on the next eight to push the lead to 23-8.  Valpo’s largest advantage of the half came with 7:26 remaining when a free throw by Kobe King made it a 31-12 game.  Over the next four minutes, Evansville rallied with a 14-2 run to make it a 33-24 score.  Bobe highlighted the stretch with a pair of 3-pointers.

Capping off the half with a basket at the buzzer, Valparaiso took a 43-28 lead into the break.  The Beacons shot 51.7% in the half and connected on 10 of their 11 tries from the free throw line.  Ben Krikke had 17 points in the opening 20 minutes.

Evansville cut into the deficit in the first six minutes of the final period with Bobe converting his third triple of the evening to cut the gap to 54-42 at the 14:07 mark.  On the ensuing Valpo possession, Evansville’s defense came close to forcing a turnover but the Beacons were able to call a time out.  That play was the start of a 7-0 run that saw Valpo tie its largest lead at 19.

Playing the top game of his career, Bobe hit consecutive triples to chop six tallies off the Beacon lead.  Preston Phillips hit both ends of a one-and-one to make it a 65-54 game as the Aces fought to get back within single digits.  As the game went through its final minutes, UE could not get over the hump with the Beacons completing the night with the 81-69 triumph.

Both teams shot well with Valpo finishing at 50.9% and UE shooting 43.3%.  The Beacons recorded a 38-28 advantage on the boards.

UE returns home on Wednesday to face Indiana State in a 7 p.m. game at the Ford Center.

Producing a rally late in the fourth quarter, the University of Evansville women's basketball team battled to get itself back in the game before falling to Belmont, 76-58, on Sunday afternoon inside Meeks Family Fieldhouse in Evansville.

Recording her third 20-plus point performance of the season, fifth-year guard Myia Clark led Evansville on the afternoon, pouring-in 20 points, while adding four boards and a pair of assists. Also finishing in double-figures for the Aces was senior guard/forward Abby Feit, who tallied 14 points and six boards. THe Bruins were led by two players who finished with 18 points; Destinee Wells and Madison Bartley.

Evansville found itself in trouble early in the contest thanks to a consistent Belmont scoring attack and the fact that the Aces shots just would not fall. The Bruins built a 12-0 lead in the game's first four minutes, forcing an Evansville timeout. Out of the break, Belmont added to its advantage, scoring 17-straight points to begin the game before Clark made a layup just inside the final five minutes in the quarter. Evansville was haunted by poor shooting in the opening period, hitting just two of its first 20 field goals (10%) and trailing 23-5 after the first 10 minutes of action.

The Aces would do their best to dig out of that hole, shooting just shy of 50% from the field for the rest of the game. In the second quarter, Evansville would get as close as 16 on multiple occasions, but another spree to end the half from the Bruins gave the visitors a 41-20 lead at the break.

Belmont's advantage would grow as large as 27 in the third quarter, but again, it was Evansville who would not let the game get away. Over the final four minutes of the third frame, the Aces chipped away at the deficit, eventually getting a triple from Feit just before the quarter buzzer to get within 18 at 60-42 heading into the final 10 minutes.

Another triple from Feit and an and-one basket and freebie from Clark highlight Evansville's comeback attempt early in the fourth as Clark's aforementioned play trimmed the Belmont lead all the way to 11 with just under five minutes remaining. With a manageable deficit to work back from, the Aces looked poised to make another run at the Bruins, but down the stretch, Belmont knocked-down key shots to secure the 76-68 victory.

Evansville awaits a busy stretch of basketball ahead, beginning with a Wednesday matchup with Indiana State at 5 PM (CT) in Terre Haute, Ind.

Back on the road Saturday, the University of Evansville men’s basketball team heads to Valparaiso to complete the season series against the Beacons.  Tip is set for 6 p.m. CT with the Purple Aces Radio Network and ESPN+ having the coverage.
