Indiana Wesleyan players hold clinic on court named after longtime school sponsor Bob Roe
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (KCAU) — Away from the Tyson Events Center, an NAIA reunion took place on Thursday. It dates back to the early years of the tournament. Indiana Wesleyan University players held a practice session at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Siouxland on the Bob Roe Court, named after the longtime Indiana Wesleyan sponsor and club supporter who passed away last year. Bishop Heelan students pack 120,000 meals for families overseas The players also hosted a clinic for the children at the club, offering help with their basketball skills before putting their own to the test on Friday. 'It was pretty obvious that it would make sense for Indiana Wesleyan, here in town for the NAIA tournament, for them to stop out and get a little shoot-around here on this court just for how much Bob Roe has meant to them and their longstanding tradition of being at the tournament here in Sioux City,' Kevin Pottebaum with Boys & Girls Clubs of Siouxland said. 'For us, it's awesome to have a team come in and visit and hang out with our kids.'

'But all four of my years here, it's just been great getting to know [Roe's daughter Terri Rexiux] and her family, and I know this place is super important to her, which makes it super important to us.' Indiana Wesleyan has won the NAIA women's basketball championship twice in school history. They open this year's tournament on Friday at 11 a.m. against Georgetown College.
