Chris Bowles finished his basketball career at Southern Indiana having nearly averaged a double-double with 19.0 points and 9.9 rebounds per game.  The school’s all-time leading rebounder and second-leading scorer amassed 2,169 points and 1,129 boards during his time in Evansville, becoming the first USI player to ever eclipse both the 2,000-point and 1,000-rebound marks in a career.  In 1994, he guided the Screaming Eagles to their first Great Lakes Region Championship and the NCAA Division II National Championship final, while earning both GLVC and NCAA Division II Player of the Year honors as well as consensus first-team All-America accolades by several media outlets.  As a junior, Bowles was named a second-team All-America by Basketball Times and a third-team All-American by the NABC in 1992-93.  He was honored with first-team All-Conference distinction in each of his four years while helping USI to a 79-38 record over that span.
