This is the Missouri Valley Conference
MVC Info. 2
The Missouri Valley Conference, the nation’s second-oldest NCAA Division I conference, continues to be a leader in college athletics and is one of the nation’s most progressive conferences, celebrating its 109th season in 2015-16. League members have worked together to focus on common goals and objectives, placing a high value on league harmony, while continuing to invest in athletic programs to compete at the highest level. The Valley brand remains very strong, both regionally and nationally, and the great athletic tradition of The Valley remains a compelling force in recruiting student-athletes and in marketing all the MVC programs. Men’s basketball continues to be the engine that drives Valley athletic programs. In 2015, Wichita State (14) and UNI (11) represented the league in the final Associated Press rankings and gave the league its first same-season pair of 30-win teams in Valley history. Both teams played in the NCAA Tournament, and Wichita State reached the Sweet 16. The Valley had the nation’s best post-season winning percentage (.824) as the league’s five post-season qualifiers combined for a 14-3 record, which including post-season tournament championships by Evansville (CollegeInsider.com Tournament) and Loyola (College Basketball Invitational). All five teams won at least one game. Wichita State’s Sweet 16 run included victories over storied programs Indiana and Kansas and marked the sixth MVC team to reach the Sweet 16 in the past 10 years. The State Farm MVC Men’s Basketball Championship – affectionately known as Arch Madness - continues to be a spectacular showcase for the league, and the MVC has extended the tournament agreement with the Scottrade Center that will keep Arch Madness in St. Louis through at least 2018. During the 2011 MVC Championship, the league surpassed 1 million in total attendance for the event, now in its 26th year in the Gateway City. The tournament, in 2016, will be celebrating its 40th anniversary. While the success of men’s basketball has received the greatest attention, the overall performance of league teams in virtually every sport continues to raise the national profile of the Conference. In women’s basketball, Wichita State won a school-record 29 games en route to a third-straight NCAA

This is the Missouri Valley Conference age is one of the great stories in the league. The MVC Television Network has blossomed into a revenue-generating vehicle and The Valley’s most visible marketing tool. Also, The Valley continues to be proactive in upgrading the production and marketing of both institutionally-produced and Conference-produced events. The summer of 2015 yielded two major announces on the TV front, as ESPN and the Missouri Valley Conference announced a 10-year extension to their current media rights agreement that will provide increased coverage of Conference events across ESPN platforms through 202324. As part of the deal – which continues a business relationship that began in 1986 – ESPN, the Missouri Valley Conference and its 10 member institutions will work jointly to develop in-house production capabilities at each campus that will provide significant national coverage for multiple sports on ESPN3 and hands-on educational opportunities for students. As a result, ESPN3 will showcase a minimum of 820 events a year (a minimum of 70 men’s basketball) in the final six years of In 2013, Wichita State became the first MVC team to reach the Final the agreement on the Four since 1979. The Shockers fell league’s co-branded to Louisville in the national semis. network (The Valley on ESPN3). Additionally, CBS Sports and the MVC reached a multiyear agreement to televise Valley basketball games on the CBS Television Network and CBS Sports Network. The deal, which begins this season and continues through 2019-20, is through a sublicense agreement with ESPN. CBS Sports has televised the men’s basketball tournament final since 2006. In 2010, The Valley took a major step toward ensuring current revenues in television media and tournament sponsorship sales would be guaranteed in future years when it announced a 10-year partnership with Learfield Sports. The Jefferson City, Missouri-based company now has the exclusive sales and marketing rights to MVC assets that include championships and television advertising. Notably, the 2016 men’s basketball tournament will mark the return as State Farm Insurance as the event’s title sponsor. The Valley remains the only college athletics conference that State Farm sponsors, and State Farm has been a sponsor of the conference since 1984, first as an advertiser on league TV games. State Farm last had naming rights of the men’s basketball championship in 2012. During the tenure of Doug Elgin, The Valley’s ninth and longest-tenured commissioner, The Valley has been aggressive in hosting NCAA events in St. Louis. From 1998-2010, the MVC served as host for a staggering nine NCAA tournament events in that 13-year period, which has made St. Louis one of the most frequent stops on the NCAA Tournament trail. The Valley hosted Women’s Final Fours in 2001 and 2009 and the Men’s Final Four in 2005. In 2014, The Valley hosted an NCAA second-

Tournament berth. The Shockers were joined by Drake (WNIT), Missouri State (WNIT) and UNI (WNIT) in postseason play. Meanwhile, the Conference remains committed to keeping the tournament at a neutral site. The women’s tournament, tagged “Hoops in the Heartland,” will compete in the iWireless Center in Moline, Ill., for the first time in 2016 as part of a multi-year agreement to conduct the league’s post-season tournament at a neutral site in the Quad Cities. In baseball, The Valley had one of its most successful seasons to date, as three league teams were selected to play in the NCAA Tournament for just the sixth time in MVC history. Regular-season and MVC Tournament Champion Missouri State was joined by at-large qualifiers Bradley and Dallas Baptist. MSU and DBU both hosted an NCAA Regional, marking the first time the league has had two hosting sites in the same season, and the Bears became the first national seed for The Valley, earning a No. 8 overall seed. Dallas Baptist won three games, Bradley won its first NCAA game since 1956, and Missouri State fell one game short of reaching the College World Series, losing a winner-take-all-game to Arkansas in the Super Regional in Fayetteville, Ark. Missouri State ended the year with a school-record 49 victories. In soccer, SIU Edwardsville represented the league in the NCAA Championship, winning a first-round match in its first NCAA Tournament experience since joining the Division I ranks. Illinois State, meanwhile, became the first women’s team to win an NCAA Tournament match, beating South Florida to advance to the second round for a second-straight year (ISU had advanced in 2013 on PKs). Rachel Tejada earned Player of the Year honors for a fourth-straight season. Illinois State had an historic run in volleyball, winning both the league regular-season and tournament titles while posting a perfect 18-0 slate in Valley matches, becoming just the third team in MVC history to run the table in volleyball. Indiana State won the MVC Tournament softball title for the second time in its history, and despite entering NCAA Tournament play with a losing overall record, the Sycamores won a game, ousting Louisville from the tournament. Drake’s men’s tennis team advanced to the second round of the NCAA Championship, while standout Alen Salibasic of Drake earned the NCAA Elite 89 Award for a second-straight year. Wichita State’s women’s tennis team earned the league title and lost in the NCAA First Round, but the Shockers’ men’s doubles team of Tomislav Gregurovic and Tin Ostojic posted WSU’s first NCAA doubles win in over three decades. Wichita State swept the men’s and women’s golf titles, and the Shocker men missed qualifying for the NCAA Finals by two strokes, finishing sixth in regional play. In track & field, league student-athletes continue to be dominant nationally in the sport, as the MVC has now produced 17 national champions in the sport in the past nine years. Notably, 18 student-athletes from MVC schools qualified for the 2015 NCAA Outdoor Championship in Eugene, Ore. Southern Illinois’ women’s track & field team finished 9th in the NCAA Indoor Meet and 12th in the NCAA Outdoor Meet. Indiana State, however, won both the men’s and women’s MVC titles in the indoor meet and also took home the men’s cross country title. And Bradley’s women’s cross country team took home just its second MVC title and first since 1998. Meanwhile, the success of The Valley television pack-

and third-round men’s basketball event at Scottrade Center in St. Louis, and in 2013, the league hosted an NCAA second- and third-round men’s basketball event in Kansas City and previously assisted with preliminary round men’s events in both 2008 and 2012 in Omaha. In 2016, The Valley will once again be hosting an NCAA event in March, as it entertains a first- and second-round men’s basketball event in Scottrade Center. The seeds for the creation of the Conference were planted by eight administrators representing five institutions, who met at the Midland Hotel in Kansas City, Mo., on Jan. 12, 1907. The five schools which formed the Missouri Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Association were Washington University of St. Louis, and the state universities of Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska. Two months after the initial meeting, two more schools -- Drake University and Iowa State College -- were admitted. In the fall of 1907, basketball became the first competitive sport. Today, Jackie Stiles of Missouri State the Missouri Valley Conferis the all-time leading scorer ence sponsors the followin NCAA women’s basketball. ing sports: baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country and track & field (indoor and outdoor), men’s and women’s golf, men’s and women’s soccer, softball, women’s swimming and diving, men’s and women’s tennis, and women’s volleyball. While The Valley no longer sponsors football (it did from 1907-85), six league members compete in football at the FCS (Football Championship Subdivision) level as Illinois State, Indiana State, Missouri State, UNI and Southern Illinois play in the 10-member Missouri Valley Football Conference (with North Dakota State, South Dakota, South Dakota State, Western Illinois and Youngstown State). That league competed as the Gateway Conference from 1985-2007. Drake plays nonscholarship football in the Pioneer Football League. This season, the league will conduct its 105th outdoor track and field championship, its 98th tennis championship, its 62nd baseball tournament, and its 78th golf championship for the men. Those programs, plus other current sponsored sports of cross country (57 years), indoor track (65), men’s soccer (25), women’s soccer (19), and swimming and diving (22), have helped solidify The Valley as one of the nation’s most respected conferences. Athletic accomplishments include four NCAA national basketball championships, 17 trips to the NCAA Final Four, a 1989 national baseball championship and 19 College World Series qualifiers. The league owns a total of 32 post-season national team championships, including two men’s basketball crowns in 2015 (EvansvilleCIT; Loyola-CBI). In 2001, Missouri State added to The Valley women’s accomplishments, as the Lady Bears advanced to the Women’s Basketball Final Four in St. Louis. Creighton (2004) and Missouri State (2005) have claimed national championships (WNIT) in women’s
basketball. MSU also has a 1992 NCAA Women’s Final Four appearance, and Creighton (2003), Drake (1999) and Illinois State (2009) have made semifinal trips to the WNIT postseason tournament. Indeed, the inclusion of women’s programs under The Valley banner has provided a boost. The Gateway Collegiate Athletic Conference -- which began in 1982 -- merged with The Missouri Valley Conference and was unveiled as part of the new conference on July 1, 1992. While the inclusion of women’s sports under a comprehensive athletic umbrella is a recent development in the league’s storied history, over the years, Valley studentathletes and coaches have become household names during the league’s illustrious history, both during their collegiate careers and, for some, professional careers. In fact, The Valley began honoring that tradition in the summer of 1997, when the Conference began its athletics Hall of Fame. Hersey Hawkins of Bradley, Larry Bird of Indiana State, Wes Unseld of Louisville, Coach Henry Iba of Oklahoma State, Dave Stallworth of Wichita State, Ed Macauley of Saint Louis, and Oscar Robertson of Cincinnati were members of the initial induction class. Currently, more than 80 former players, coaches and alums dot the league’s Hall of Fame. Men’s basketball, perhaps, has the league’s most storied tradition, boasting the likes of Hall of Famers Bird and Robertson as former players, but The Valley has also produced national-caliber student-athletes in its other sponsored sports. In 2001, Missouri State’s Jackie Stiles became the first Valley woman to earn the HondaBroderick Cup, given to the nation’s top female collegiate student-athlete. In the sport of track and field, Indiana State’s Holli Hyche captured seven national sprint titles in the early 1990s, Southern Illinois’ Darrin Plab won back-to-back NCAA outdoor high jump titles in 1991 and 1992, SIU’s Brittany Riley became the World record holder in the weight throw in 2007, and Kylie Hutson of Indiana State swept both the indoor and outdoor pole vault titles in 2009 and in 2010. Southern Illinois’ Jeneva McCall (three NCAA individual championships) and Illinois State’s Tim Glover (back-to-back javelin championships in 2011 and 2012) and Indiana State’s Felisha Johnson (indoor weight throw in 2011 and 2013) are the most recent multi-year NCAA champions in the league’s highly decorated history in track & field. Meanwhile, Raven Saunders of Southern Illinois earned NCAA shot put titles in both the 2015 indoor and outdoor meets. In the fall of 1997, Creighton’s Johnny Torres was named the collegiate male soccer player of the year for a second-straight year, while SMU’s Luchi Gonzalez (2001) and Tulsa’s Ryan Pore (2004) have also earned a National Player of the Year honor in men’s soccer. Meanwhile, league member Wichita State has produced three national collegiate players of the year in baseball, including Joe Carter (1981), Phil Stephenson (1982) and Darren Dreifort (1993). League members include Bradley, Drake, Evansville, Illinois State, Indiana State, Loyola Chicago, Missouri State, Northern Iowa, Southern Illinois and Wichita State. Central Arkansas and Southern Illinois Edwardsville are affiliate members in men’s soccer; Dallas Baptist is an affiliate member for baseball; Arkansas-Little Rock is an affiliate member in women’s swimming and diving; and Hartford, UMBC and Stony Brook compete as affiliate members in men’s tennis.

Doug Elgin Commissioner
Doug Elgin enters his 28th year with the Missouri Valley Conference in 2015-16, leading an experienced staff that has blazed a trail of excellence over the past two decades. Since being named the Valley’s ninth commissioner on May 17, 1988, Elgin and the Valley staff have been catalysts in helping the St. Louis-based conference regain a position of promi-
nence in college athletics. Elgin and his veteran staff can reflect upon a remarkable list of accomplishments and contributions they have made together that have added to the long, rich athletic tradition of the Conference. During the decade of the 1990s, he and his colleagues oversaw the realignment and the stabilization of the Missouri Valley membership as the league expanded by admitting Missouri State, Northern Iowa and Evansville as new members and also brought women’s sports programs under the Conference’s administrative umbrella in July of 1992. In the spring of 2013, Elgin orchestrated league membership change yet again, as Loyola Chicago joined the league for the start of the 2013-14 campaign. The league staff also paved the way to establish St. Louis as a long-term neutral site for the men’s basketball tournament known nationally as ‘Arch Madness’ beginning in 1991, one of the most significant developments in the modern era of the Valley. In 2015, the Missouri Valley celebrated its 25th consecutive year hosting the championship in St. Louis, making it the second longest-tenured neutral site college basketball tournament in the country. In 2008, the Valley followed suit with its women’s basketball tournament, moving it to the Family Arena in St. Charles, Missouri, and will move the event to the Quad Cities in March 2016. The Conference office has also served to make the City of St. Louis a frequent stop on the NCAA basketball tournament trail, beginning in 1993 when the Missouri Valley hosted the NCAA Men’s Midwest Regional. That first step as an NCAA Tournament host began an incredible run that would bring 10 more NCAA basketball events to sporting venues in St. Louis from 1998 through 2010, including the 2001 and 2009 Women’s Final Fours, the 2005 Men’s Final Four, and six more men’s Midwest Regional tournaments or preliminary-round events. The MVC will host the 2016 men’s NCAA Tournament first- and second-rounds at Scottrade Center in St. Louis next March. Elgin completed a four-year term on the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee in 2002 and was the first and only Valley representative ever to serve as a member of that prestigious group. He has also served on the CCA Executive Committee, the NCAA Administration Cabinet, and is currently a member of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Oversight Committee. In 40 years in college athletic administration, Elgin has served in a variety of capacities at four schools and in two conference offices. His career path has included stints as sports information director at Frostburg State University 6
(1975-76), Miami-Dade Community College South (197677), Lafayette College (1977-80) and at the University of Virginia (1980-83). In 1983, he left Virginia, moving to the Tampa-based Sun Belt Conference where he worked for five years as assistant commissioner under commissioner Vic Bubas, the former Duke basketball coach and a member of the College Basketball Hall of Fame. Elgin is a native of Hagerstown, Md., and is a 1973 graduate of Lafayette College. He earned a master’s degree in sports administration from Ohio University in 1975. Doug and his wife Melaine have six daughters and five grandchildren.

MVC Television & Radio Partners Tournament Title Game To Air on CBS As Part of League’s ESPN Agreement
Services/TV
The Missouri Valley Conference will have a 115-live event package on ESPN networks during the 2015-16 academic year. The Valley, which is in the second year of a 10-year agreement with ESPN, will clear 56 men’s basketball telecasts on ESPN platforms -- ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU and ESPN3. An additional 59 other MVC contests -- regularseason women’s basketball and baseball plus postseason championships for women’s and men’s soccer, volleyball, indoor and outdoor track and field, women’s basketball, softball and baseball -- are featured on the package. The Conference will also clear a 10-game men’s basketball television package on CBS Sports Network. CBS Sports, which reached a multi-year arrangement to televise MVC men’s basketball games on the CBS Television Network and CBS Sports Network, secured the rights to these games through a sublicense agreement with ESPN in July of this year. The deal begins this season and continues through 2019-20. In addition, The Valley will clear a 24-game men’s basketball television package on FOX Sports Midwest and Comcast SportsNet Chicago. The Valley, with Niles Media Group of Kansas City serving as its production company, has worked in conjunction with FOX Sports Midwest -- along with its sister regional cable outlets FOX Sports Indiana and FOX Sports Kansas City -- and Comcast SportsNet Chicago to clear the highdefinition telecasts. ESPN3 will also distribute the telecasts outside the league’s five-state footprint on FOX Sports Midwest and Comcast SportsNet Chicago. The telecasts will also be streamed on FOX Sports GO within the FOX Sports Midwest footprint. ESPN, Inc., is the world’s leading multinational, multimedia sports entertainment company featuring a portfolio of more than 50 multimedia sports assets. The company is comprised of eight U.S. 24-hour television networks (ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNEWS, ESPNU, ESPN Classic, ESPN Deportes, Longhorn Network and SEC Network) and five HD simulcast services (ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPNEWS and ESPN Deportes). Other businesses include ESPN Events, ESPN International (24 networks, syndication, radio, digital), ESPN Radio (broadcast, satellite, digital, a growing category led by ScoreCenter), digital services (ESPN.com plus a variety of sport-, college-, and market-specific sites; multi-screen WatchESPN and ESPN3; plus mobile TV and video, apps, alerts and messaging), ESPN The Magazine, consumer products and espnW. Based in Bristol, Conn., ESPN is 80 percent owned by ABC, Inc., which is an indirect subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company. The Hearst Corporation holds a 20 percent interest in ESPN.

2015-16 Men’s Basketball Preview During the past five seasons, Wichita State has recorded 151 victories. Only one team in the NCAA has more wins in that stretch (Kentucky).

In that span, the Shockers have three MVC regular-season titles and two runner-up finishes, with an NIT title (2011), a Final Four trip (2013) and another Sweet 16 appearance (2015). With nine letterwinners returning from last year’s 30-5 team, including All-Americans Ron Baker and Fred VanVleet, the Shockers appear primed to make another run at the MVC title and another deep run in the NCAA Tournament. The Shockers, though, weren’t the only team in the MVC to raise eyebrows last year. UNI spent most of the season ranked in the Top 25, and the Panthers recorded a 31-4 record, won the MVC Tournament, and reached the second round of the NCAA Tournament before falling to Louisville in their second game. The Panthers did lose three starters from last year’s team including Larry Bird MVC Player of the Year Seth Tuttle.

all five starters, which includes the league’s top scorer (D.J. Balentine) and top rebounder (Egidijus Mockevicius). Loyola (4) and Illinois State (3) have much of their nucleus in tact from last year’s teams, which won 24 and 22 games, respectively. Notably, eight of the league’s 10 teams return more starters than they lost, with Bradley and UNI the lone exceptions. Two teams -- the aforementioned Evansville and Missouri State -- have all five starters back in the fold. Bradley, too, has the only new head coach as Green Bay mastermind Brian Wardle takes over the reigns in Peoria in 2015-16. u BRADLEY On the heels of a 9-24 campaign last season that included a 3-15 Valley record, Wardle has completely remade the Bradley roster with a commitment to developing a program built for the long haul. As a result, the Braves welcome nine true freshmen to a 13-man roster that includes only three returning players and one Division I transfer.
Wes Washpun will be one of the key ingredients for coach Jacobson in 2015-16. He was honorable mention all-MVC last year.

2015-16 Men’s Basketball Preview u DRAKE Coach Ray Giacoletti enters his third season at the helm of the Drake Bulldogs, and the team is primed to make a jump in the standings after finishing last year with a 9-22 record and a seventh-place finish in the MVC race (6-12).
u LOYOLA The Ramblers return four starters and eight of their top nine scorers from last year’s team that won 24 games and capped the season by sweeping Louisiana-Monroe to win the CBI in their first postseason appearance since 1985.
The Bulldogs return four players who started, including guard Reed Timmer who is the top returning scorer for Drake as he averaged 11.5 points in his freshman season. Big man Jacob Enevold Jensen showed great promise after averaging 8.5 points and 5.8 rebounds in 2014-15.
Heading a balanced and talented group is junior Milton Doyle, a dynamic, play-making guard who is back to full health after missing 12 games last year with a foot injury. The Ramblers were 19-6 (.760) with him in the lineup, with four of the six losses coming against ranked foes. However, Doyle is far from the team’s only weapon and he is joined by seniors Earl Peterson and Devon Turk in one of the Valley’s most explosive backcourts.
u EVANSVILLE The CIT Tournament champ Evansville Aces are reloaded and ready to go for 2015-16. All five starters and nine letterwinners are back. D.J. Balentine was named the MVP of the tournament, averaging 27.2 points per game. He enters his senior year with a chance to leave as the top scorer in program history.
2015-16 Preview
Along with Balentine, senior Egidijus Mockevicius looks to pose one of the top high-low threats in the country. Mockevicius garnered a spot on the all-MVC First Team in 2015 and has led the league in rebounding for the last two years. He had 20 double-doubles last season, a tally that was 4th in the NCAA.
Illinois State’s Paris Lee led the league with 82 steals in 2014-15.
u ILLINOIS STATE Reigning 2015 MVC Newcomer of the Year DeVaughn Akoon-Purcell is one of three starters and six letterwinners returning for the 2015-16 squad which advanced to the MVC Tournament championship game following a third-place finish in the final league standings.
The 2014-15 Redbirds (22-13, 11-7 MVC) earned an at-large bid to the NIT and recorded a first-round victory over Green Bay. ISU ended the year by winning seven of its final nine games, including a triumph over No. 8 Wichita State in the MVC Tournament semifinals, marking ISU’s fourth win over a Top-25 team in as many seasons. ISU returns 50.6 percent of its scoring, 54.5 percent of its rebounding and 61.8 percent of its assists and steals from last season. u INDIANA STATE The Sycamores return nine letterwinners and three starters off last year’s third-place team. Leading the way will be senior guard Devonte Brown who averaged 11.9 points and 4.4 rebounds per game to go with 101 assists.
The reigning MVC Freshman of the Year is Brenton Scott and he returns with an 11.4 ppg average as he made 59 3-pointers one year ago. Also back is senior Khristian Smith who scored 10.5 ppg and posted 29 steals in 30 starts. Anthony Beane of Southern Illinois averaged 16.1 points and was second-team all-Missouri Valley Conference last year. 30
u MISSOURI STATE After a season filled with injuries and unexpected departures, the Bears find themselves in a unique position. Fifth-year head coach Paul Lusk returns all five starters from a squad that had as few as seven scholarship players in uniform late in the season, but a team that also rallied late in February in spite of the adversity.
Leading that late-season resurgence were young guns Chris Kendrix and Austin Ruder who collectively led the Bears in scoring each of their last five games. u NORTHERN IOWA Heading the list of nine returnees for the Panthers are a trio of seniors in the backcourt in Matt Bohannon, Paul Jesperson and Wes Washpun.
Bohannon is closing in on the school record for made 3-pointers in a career. Washpun is the reigning MVC Sixth Man of the Year award winner having averaged 7.6 ppg last season. He ranked second on the team in assists (91) and blocks (17), while ranking third on the squad in steals (34). Jesperson earned a spot on the MVC’s All-Newcomer squad after averaging 5.9 ppg and shooting 48.3 percent from the field. Junior guard Jeremy Morgan started all 35 games and averaged 5.8 ppg for UNI.
2015-16 Men’s Basketball Preview u SOUTHERN ILLINOIS The cornerstone of the 2015-16 Saluki Basketball team will be AllConference senior guard Anthony Beane, who enters the season with 1,300 career points and is on pace to finish among the top-five scorers in school history. Beane ranks among the school’s all-time leaders in 3-pointers (14th), free-throw percentage (20th), steals (16th) and minutes played per game (6th).
Beane’s supporting cast features two more returning starters in junior forward Sean O’Brien and junior shooting guard Tyler Smithpeters. u WICHITA STATE The return of three starters and nine lettermen – including All-American seniors Ron Baker and Fred VanVleet – from last year’s Sweet 16 squad has Wichita State poised for another season in the national spotlight.
In two short years, the Shockers have gone from a Cinderella story at the 2013 Final Four to an established contender with wire-to-wire rankings in each of the past two years.
Annual matchups will be based upon factors including the previous year’s achievements, records and RPI rankings, as well as projected rankings/strength of teams in the upcoming season, based on composite sources. Each season will be considered separately in terms of matchups, therefore, games from the previous year’s Challenge Series may not be returned. Television rights for each Challenge Series contest will be controlled by the home team’s conference television agreement, which will dictate the distribution of the game and all related matters, including tip times. The previous Mountain West-Missouri Valley Challenge Series ran from the 2009-10 through the 2012-13 seasons. During that four-year span, six MVC teams competed in the NCAA Tournament, and the league combined for eight NCAA Tourney wins, which included two Sweet 16 appearances and WSU’s run to the 2013 Final Four. The MW has a 22-13 edge in the 35 previous games, but that did include a lopsided 8-1 record in games against the MVC in 2010. UNI and Wichita State have enjoyed the best individual team success among MVC members, with each compiling a 3-1 record during the first four-year series. The Mountain West holds a 2-1-1 edge in the series and a 22-13 overall record. 2012 2011 2010 2009

2015-16 Preview
The two-time defending MVC champions have the highest winning percentage in the country since the start of the 2010-11 campaign (151-29, .839) and – this year - are looking to match a national record with a fourth-consecutive 30-win season.
The Mountain West and Missouri Valley conferences have revived a Challenge Series that will feature head-to-head competition between 10 Mountain West and 10 MVC teams annually, with each conference hosting five games apiece each season.
Evansville’s Egidijus Mockevicius and D.J. Balentine have led the Missouri Valley Conference in rebounding and scoring, respectively, in each of the past two seasons. 31
2014-15 Missouri Valley Conference Review The 2014-15 season was an historic one for the MVC as for the first time two teams reached 30 wins, and two teams earned post-season national tournament crowns. Five teams represented the league in post-season play and all five won at least one game. Evansville (CIT) and Loyola (CBI) both won their tournaments, while Illinois State (1-1 in the NIT), UNI (1-1 in the NCAA) and Wichita State (2-1 in the NCAA) also represented the Missouri Valley in post-season play. Four of the league’s first-team all-conference picks were juniors, and an additional two juniors return from the second-team unit. It marks the second-straight year in which the league had four nonseniors on its First Team.
Two Teams Ranked
Wichita State (No. 14 AP and No. 11 coaches) and UNI (No. 11 AP and No. 14 coaches) represented the Valley in season-ending national basketball rankings. In the past 14 seasons (since 2001-02), the league has had at least one top-25 team in a final poll 11 times, including each of the last four years. The MVC has had two teams ranked in a final poll in four of the past 10 seasons. Notably, it marks the second time in the past four years that the MVC has had two top-25 AP teams in the NCAA Tournament. Before 2012, though, that hadn’t happened since 1972.
Another Sweet 16
2014-15 Review 32
Wichita State became the sixth MVC team in the past 10 seasons (2006-present) to reach the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament. Also in 2015, Wichita State became the 10th MVC team to reach the Sweet 16 since 1994. Notably, the Valley has received just 41 total bids from 1994-2015, meaning nearly one of every four Valley NCAA berths since 1994 have resulted in a Sweet 16 trip.

Five Teams, 22+ Wins
Last year, the league had five teams with 22+ wins, and two with 30+ wins. Wichita State (30) and UNI (31) gave the MVC its first pair of 30-game winners in the same season in the league’s 108-year history.
Evansville’s CIT title, coupled with Loyola’s CBI title, gave the league its 16th and 17th national championships in men’s basketball. The 2015 campaign marked the first season in which the league claimed two titles. Wichita State had the most recent title (2011 NIT).
How Seed It Is
Since the NCAA expanded its bracket to 64 teams in 1985, the MVC has received a No. 8 or better seed 15 times. The 201415 campaign marked the second time the league has had two 8 or better seeds the same season.
Six-Straight 20-Plus Wins In the 108-year history of The Valley, only six schools have won 20 games six-straight years, including Wichita State in 2014-15. Wichita State and Cincinnati are the only two schools in MVC history to have 6-straight seasons of 25+ wins.
Dominant Postseason
The MVC concluded 2015 with a 14-3 post-season record. The winning percentage (.824) was the best of any conference (ACC was 2nd at .750). The 14 MVC wins were third-best behind the ACC (21) and Pac-12 (15). The 14 post-season wins set the all-time MVC record in a season (surpassing 13 wins in 2013). From 2006-15, The Valley has combined for 76 post-season wins, including last year’s leaguerecord 14 total. The Valley has sent at least three teams to postseason in 20 of the last 22 years, and has four or more teams in each of the past 11 seasons. Loyola was one of two MVC men’s basketball teams to earn a post-season tournament title (CBI). Evansville won the CollegeInsider.com (CIT) Championship.
2014-15 Missouri Valley Conference Review No. 9 in the RPI
The league finished 9th as a league in the RPI (5 teams ended up in the top 87, and two finished in the Top 12). UNI (14) and Wichita State (16) ranked among the Top 20 in the March 15 RPI Report. Only three times previously (2006, 2007, 2012) in league history has the league had as many as two Top-25 RPI teams on Selection Sunday. UNI (11th) and Wichita State (12th) led the league in the final rankings.
16 Wins, But Second
For the first time in league history, two teams reached 30 victories in the same season: UNI (31) and Wichita State (30).
Road Warriors
The MVC finished the 2014-15 season with a 19-18 road nonconference record, marking only the second time in the past 20 years the league has had a winning road non-conference record. The 88 total non-conference wins (88-51) are seventh most in the league’s 108-year history. The MVC recorded a 7-10 record against teams from BCS ‘Power 5’ leagues. Only one of those 17 games were at home.
Doing it With ‘D’
Most Improved
The MVC had 3 of the top 25 for ‘most improved’ from 2013-14 to 2014-15. UNI ranked fourthbest at +13.0; and Loyola was 7th (+11.5).
Dynamic Duo
D.J. Balentine of Evansville led the league in scoring and teammate Egidijus Mockevicius led the league in rebounding. They became the first pair of MVC teammates to sweep those statistical championships in back-to-back seasons since 1961.
Tuttle Takes Bird Trophy Seth Tuttle of UNI earned the 2015 Larry Bird Trophy, awarded to the MVC men’s basketball player of the year. Just 10 players in the MVC’s 108-year history have reached 1,700 career points and 900 career rebounds, including Tuttle.
Double Trouble
Evansville’s Egidijus Mockevicius had 20 double-doubles in 2014-15, setting an Evansville DI record for a season. Mockevicius tied for 4th in the NCAA, and his 20 double-doubles are best in the MVC during the past 20 years.
The league sent five teams to post-season play last year. The league has had as many as seven teams in post-season play on two occasions. Below is a recap of the years in which the MVC has had four or more teams: Yr NCAA

2014-15 Review
Two Valley teams finished among the national leaders in fewest points allowed. UNI was 4th (54.6), while Wichita State was 8th (57.4) in scoring defense. UNI’s figure was the best in the league in the past 20 seasons, ahead of its 2010 MVC Champion and NCAA Sweet 16 squad.
UNI (16-2) became the first MVC team to win 16 league games and not win the regularseason title, joining a group of six other MVC schools to win 14 conference games and not win the crown. Four of the seven teams went on to win the MVC tourney including UNI in 2015.

Ratings Percentage Index
The Rating Percentage Index, or RPI, is a computer-generated rating system that was first developed for and is used by both the men’s and women’s NCAA Division I basketball committees to assist in the selection of at-large teams for the NCAA basketball championships. The Valley ranked No. 9 (out of 32 conferences) in the Collegiate Basketball News Ratings Percentage Index, and has ranked among the top-nine leagues nine of the past 11 seasons.

In 2014-15, the Missouri Valley ranked No. 9 as a conference, according to Collegiate Basketball News (CBN). The MVC has been No. 8 or higher eight times in its history, with all but one of those taking place in the past 11 seasons. At No. 11, UNI was the highest-rated team in 2014, and Wichita State followed immediately behind (12th). Wichita State was No. 6 in the RPI at the end of the 2013-14 campaign to set the league all-time standard. Since 1991-92, 84 of 94 Valley teams with regular-season RPIs (preSelection Sunday) in the Top 100 have been in post-season play.

Outlook
Numerical Roster
To say the Bradley Basketball program will have a new look in 2015-16 is the ultimate understatement. On the heels of a 9-24 campaign last season that included a 3-15 Valley record, firstyear Braves head coach Brian Wardle has completely remade the Bradley roster with a commitment to developing a program built for the long haul. As a result, the Braves welcome nine true freshmen to a 13-man roster that includes only three returning players and one Division I transfer. Senior combo guard Ka’Darryl Bell is the only player on the Bradley roster with significant experience, not just for the Braves, but at the collegiate level. Bell has played in 94 games during his first three years at Bradley, totaling 402 points, 161 rebounds, 115 assists and 87 steals. Senior center Mike Shaw, who played sparingly at Illinois for his first two seasons, and sophomore forward Donte Thomas are the only other active Braves with collegiate playing experience, but the duo has combined for just 135 points, 180 rebounds, 39 assists and 33 steals at Bradley. While the trio of returning Braves have combined for 537 career points, 13 individual players in the Missouri Valley Conference have scored more career points. Since freshman eligibility was reinstated in 1972, Bradley has never before suited up as many as nine true freshmen. In fact, the Braves totaled only seven true freshmen in the previous three years combined - 2012-13 (2), 2013-14 (3) and 2014-15 (2) - and the quintet of Valley rivals Evansville (1), Indiana State (3), Loyola Chicago (1), Missouri State (3) and Southern Illinois (2) combine to roster only one more true freshman than the Braves. The young Braves will be thrown to the fire right away. Ten teams won at least 30 games during the 2014-15 season and Bradley will play six games against four of those teams, including back-toback games at Arizona (Nov. 16) and at a neutral-site against Virginia (Nov. 19) during the opening week of the season. The Braves also will face 2014 NCAA Tournament participant Ole Miss Nov. 28 at Carver Arena and will visit defending Mountain West Conference co-champion Boise State Dec. 20 in the Mountain West-Missouri Valley Challenge Series before welcoming Big 12 Conference member TCU to Carver Arena in the nonconference finale Dec. 23.

Brian Wardle, who led Green Bay to the 2014 Horizon League regular-season championship and three straight postseason appearances, begins his first year as the 14th head coach in Bradley Basketball history. “Coach Wardle has a track record of success as a studentathlete, assistant coach and head coach and both his work ethic and personality are a great fit for Bradley University and the Greater Peoria community,” said Bradley Director of Athletics Dr. Chris Reynolds when announcing Wardle’s hiring March 27. “We welcome with open arms Brian, his wife Lecia and his children Mya, Emery and Davin to the Bradley Athletics family.” “It’s an honor to be the next head coach at Bradley,” said Wardle. “Being from Illinois and understanding the program’s success, tradition and support was a real draw for me. I am excited to bring my family to Peoria, getting to know the community and building a foundation and identity for Bradley Basketball to last a long time.” Wardle led Green Bay to a 95-65 (.594) record in five seasons from 2010-15 and his 95 wins are the most in the first five years for any Phoenix coach in the program’s 34-year NCAA Division I history. He earned multiple awards after the 2013-14 season, including Horizon League Coach of the Year, the Skip Prosser Man of the Year and the NABC District 12 Coach of the Year. Led by two-time Horizon League Player of the Year Keifer Sykes, Wardle guided Green Bay to a 24-7 overall record in 2013-14, which included a 14-2 conference record on the way to the Horizon League regular-season title and a bid to the NIT. Green Bay won 24 games again in 2014-15, finishing 24-9 overall with a 68-55 win at then No. 15 Miami, and received an at-large selection to the NIT after finishing runner-up in the Horizon League regular-season race and postseason tournament. Wardle’s recruiting efforts at Green Bay resulted in several players of note. Alec Brown was the 50th overall selection in the 2014 NBA Draft by the Phoenix Suns after the 7-foot-1 center was named the 2014 Horizon League Defensive Player of the Year and finished fifth in school history with 1,678 career points. Brown is the only player in Green Bay history with more than 1,500 points, 750 rebounds and 300 blocked
shots. A 6-foot guard from Chicago Marshall H.S., Sykes can be found all over the Green Bay record books, finishing second on the school’s all-time scoring list with 2,096 career points and third with 526 assists. He is the only player in Horizon League history to accumulate 2,000 points, 500 assists and 400 rebounds (467). Wardle’s Green Bay teams averaged 19 wins per season while facing stiff competition. After taking on NCAA Tournament teams Marquette, Wisconsin and Virginia during the 2011-12 season, Green Bay knocked of Big EAST champion Marquette during the 2012-13 campaign and eventual ACC champion Virginia during the 2013-14 season to go along with this year’s win at Miami. The Phoenix also beat Bradley’s Missouri Valley Conference rivals Evansville and Drake this past season. Wardle inherits a Bradley program that finished 9-24 this past season, including a 3-15 showing in The Valley. Although the Braves graduated only one senior, Wardle rebuilt the roster in the offseason and his first Bradley team will include nine true freshmen and only three returning players. A native of Willowbrook, Ill., Wardle was a two-time allstate selection at Hinsdale Central High School, where he ranks as the school’s all-time leading scorer and rebounder. He went on to play collegiately at Marquette, helping the Golden Eagles to a pair of NIT appearances in 1998 and 2000. As a senior in 2000, Wardle served as team captain and finished as the second-leading scorer in Conference USA by pumping in 18.8 points per game. After graduating from Marquette in 2001 with a bachelor’s degree in communication studies, Wardle played professionally for two seasons in the NBA Development League and Continental Basketball Association, before beginning his coaching career as Director of Operations at Marquette from 2003-05. He was an assistant coach at Green Bay from 2005-10, before being named Phoenix head coach April 15, 2010. Wardle is married to the former Lecia Schuetz, a soccer student-athlete during her collegiate career at Marquette. The couple has three children: daughters Mya and Emery, and son, Davin.

2015-16 Preview
Drake 50
The 2015-16 edition of the Bulldogs’ roster features 10 freshman or sophomores and two transfer studentathletes that will be in their first season in the Blue and White. Now in its third-year under head coach Ray Giacoletti, the program features just two experienced upperclassmen with 13 of the 14 players having been recruited by Giacoletti and staff. Highlighting the Bulldogs’ returnees is sophomore Reed Timmer. The guard led the team in scoring as a freshman with 11.5 points per game to earn a spot on the MVC All-Freshman and All-Newcomer teams. Timmer was one of just 15 freshmen in the nation, and the only one in the Valley, to average at least 11 points and 2.5 assists per game during the regular season. Junior center Jacob Enevold also returns after posting 8.5 points and 5.8 rebounds per game to be named to the league’s most improved team. The 2015-16 lineup will also showcase more size than previous season with six of the team’s seven newcomers measuring 6-6 or taller. Half of the 14 players on the roster are 6-8 or taller with a front line bookended by two 7-footers in Enevold and freshman Dominik Olejniczak. In 2014-15, the Bulldogs ranked third nationally, led the MVC and set a school record for three-point accuracy at 40.8 percent as five Bulldogs shot 40 percent or better from the threepoint arc. Three of those players have graduated, but shooting figures to be a strength again this season with the roster bolstered with newcomers and the addition of a pair of Big Ten transfers in Kale Abrahamson (Northwestern) and Graham Woodward (Penn State) to the lineup. Timmer remains the team’s top returning three-point shooter, having connected on 26 three-pointers a season ago while Ore Arogundade connected on 53.8 percent of his attempts. The Bulldogs also return veteran 6th-year guard Karl Madison to help guide the team on the court. Last season, Madison returned to a starting role, making 14 starts, and helping the team to six of its nine wins during the season in that span. One of the underclassmen he will continue to mentor is sophomore C.J. Rivers. Rivers started 17 games as a freshman and averaged 3.5 points per game while making 50 percent of his shots from the field and 40 percent from the three-point arc to go along with his positive assist-to-turnover ratio.

Ray Giacoletti begins his third season at the helm of the Drake Bulldogs with a solid foundation in place after two seasons of rebuilding the program’s roster. In his first season at the helm of the Bulldogs, he led the squad to a 10-3 start to the season that included the Fresno State Classic championship and a program-record five wins in the month of November. The team finished his first season with a 15-16 record. His second season with the Bulldogs featured a roster that included five freshmen as he and his staff continued to lay the foundation for the program. Prior to taking the reigns of the Bulldog men’s basketball program, Giacoletti served as an assistant coach at Gonzaga University for six seasons (2007-13), where he helped lead the perennial basketball power to six straight NCAA appearances, five West Coast Conference titles and a 163-41 (.799) record during his time on campus in Spokane, Wash. In 2012-13, Gonzaga marched to a 32-3 record and spent the final three weeks of the season ranked No. 1 in both the Associated Press and USA Today Coaches Polls to earn a No. 1 seed in the West Region of the NCAA Tournament. Giacoletti came to Gonzaga with 10 total years of head coaching experience and a three-year tenure as the head coach at the University of Utah where he led the Utes to a 29-6 record in his first season to tie for the third-most wins in program history and advanced to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament. That squad won 18-straight games to win the Mountain West Conference regular-season title and recorded the best league record to date (13-1) in the six-year history of the league. As a result, Giacoletti was named the NABC District 13, USBWA District 8, and Mountain West Conference Coach of the Year. Sophomore center Andrew Bogut became Utah’s first consensus national Player of the Year, winning the John R. Wooden Award, Naismith, National Association of Basketball Coaches and Associated Press Player of the Year honors. In three seasons on the Utah bench, he amassed a 54-40 record. Prior to taking the reins at Utah, he served as the head

coach at Eastern Washington University where he went 69-50 in four seasons, the best mark of any coach in the school’s NCAA Division I history. He guided the Eagles to their first NCAA Tournament appearance in 2004, as well as the Big Sky Conference regular-season and tournament titles. In each of Giacoletti’s first three years, the Eagles placed second in the Big Sky during the regular season and advanced to the tournament championship game. In 2002-03, Giacoletti led EWU to the NIT for the program’s first postseason bid since 1947 when it was a NAIA program. The 2004 Big Sky Conference Coach of the Year, Giacoletti directed EWU to a 17-13 overall record and an 11-3 mark in conference play that season as the Eagles won 14 of their last 18 games en route to winning the Big Sky Tournament. In the first round of the NCAA Tournament, EWU fell to eventual Final Four participant Oklahoma State. In four seasons under Giacoletti, EWU posted a 41-17 record in Big Sky Conference games for a .707 winning percentage, eighth in the league’s 41-year history of the league that has produced notable coaches such as Don Monson, Mike Montgomery, Larry Eustachy, Jug Heathcote, Tim Floyd and Ben Howland. Giacoletti’s first head coaching job was a three-year stint (1998-2000) at North Dakota State University, a Division II program at the time, where he went 48-33. In his 10 seasons as a head coach, he has amassed a 171-123 (.582) record. Before assuming his first head coaching assignment, Giacoletti was an assistant for four years at both at Missouri Valley Conference member Illinois State University (1990-93) and the University of Washington (1994-97) under mentor Bob Bender. Giacoletti, a native of Peoria, Ill., graduated from Minot State University with a degree in physical education in 1985. There he was a 4-year letterman on the court, started three seasons and served as team captain twice. His coaching career began as a student assistant coach at Minot State in 1984-85 while he finished his degree. He was also a graduate assistant at Western Illinois University in 1985-86 and an assistant at Oral Roberts University in 1986-87. His resume also includes one season of professional basketball experience as an assistant coach and director of player personnel for the Fresno Flames of the World Basketball League from 1988-89. Giacoletti is married to the former Kim Lankford.

2015-16 Preview
Evansville 60
The 2015 CollegeInsider.com Tournament Champion University of Evansville Purple Aces are reloaded and ready to go for the 201516 season. All five starters and nine letterwinners are back this season to take the program to the next level following a 24-12 campaign in 2014-15. On April 2, 2015, the Aces defeated Northern Arizona to win the CIT Championship. D.J. Balentine was named the Most Valuable Player of the tournament, averaging 27.2 points per game. Balentine enters his senior year with a chance to leave as the top scorer in program history. He begins the season with 1,766 points and is on pace to break Colt Ryan’s program record of 2,279, which was set in 2013. The 2-time All-MVC First Team member has led the league in scoring in each of the last two years. Along with Balentine, senior Egidijus Mockevicius look to pose one of the top high-low threats in the country. Mockevicius garnered a spot on the All-MVC First Team in 2015 and has led the league in rebounding for the last two years. His scoring improved greatly last season, resulting in 20 double-doubles, a tally that was 4th in the NCAA. He finished in the top 20 in the country in rebounds, defensive rebounds and shooting percentage. Another senior – Adam Wing – is coming off of a great stretch to end his junior campaign as he earned a spot on the 2015 CIT All-Tournament Team. Wing has been a regular in the starting lineup since the last part of his freshman season. He has been one of the vocal leader on the team and looks for that continue. Blake Simmons enters his third season with the Purple Aces and has improved steadily as his career has gone along. A starter since his freshman season, Simmons was named to the MVC AllAcademic Team last season. A pair of juniors will operate the point as Duane Gibson and Jaylon Brown shared the starts there last year with Christian Benzon also earning more time. Freshman Harris Brown will also be added to the mix at the guard spot. Redshirt junior Mislav Brzoja gives Evansville great versatility as he can play any position on the floor. At forward, Willie Wiley is coming off of his redshirt season after transferring in from Vincennes where he was a NJCAA All-American. David Howard will also see time down low. Sergej Vucetic, a 7-1 transfer from Nebraska, will give the Aces a strong backup at center behind Mockevicius.

Nobody personifies just what it means to be a Purple Ace more than head coach Marty Simmons. One of the top players in program history enters his ninth season at the helm of his alma mater. In 2015, Simmons coached the Aces to a record of 24-12 and the CIT Championship. Evansville went 5-0 in the tournament route to the championship. The record was the best for the program since the 1991-92 season. For the first time since joining the Missouri Valley Conference, the team had two players on the All-MVC First Team as D.J. Balentine and Egidijus Mockevicius garnered the accolade. With a win over #23 Northern Iowa on January 1, 2015, Simmons earned his fifth triumph over a ranked opponent. His seventh year was a transition as his squad was the 4thyoungest squad in the country. Despite the youthfulness of the team, the talent level could not be questioned. As a sophomore, D.J. Balentine led the MVC and finished in the top 10 in the nation in scoring. Simmons helped fellow sophomore Egidijus Mockevicius become one of the top forces in the Valley. He also coached son Blake to a berth on the MVC All-Freshman Team. The 2012-13 season brought about milestones that had not been achieved in over a decade as University of Evansville men’s basketball coach Marty Simmons led his Purple Aces to a 21-15 record. That mark included a 3-1 record in the CollegeInsider.com Tournament. A banner season saw Colt Ryan break the UE career scoring mark with 2,279 points (6th in MVC history), Troy Taylor record the second triple-double in program history, another top four seed for the MVC Tournament and a sweep of eventual Final Four participant Wichita State. Prior to that, the 2011-12 season was full of memories as Simmons squad advanced to the postseason for the third time in four seasons, facing Princeton in the CBI. The Aces finished in third place in the Valley, their top finish since 1999 and picked up victories over defending national runner-up Butler in the season opener before downing Creighton, who was ranked 15th in the nation at the time. Simmons’ 2010-11 team knocked off Butler at Hinkle Fieldhouse in November to end the Bulldogs’ 14-game home court winning streak.
Simmons returned to his alma mater as head coach in the spring of 2007. His first squad finished 9-21, but one year later, in 2008-09, Simmons led his Aces to a 17-14 record and a berth in the inaugural CollegeInsider.com Post-season Tournament. 2008-09 Aces achieved Evansville’s best winning percentage since 2000, and first post-season appearance since 1999. Senior Shy Ely was second in voting for Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Year, and senior Jason Holsinger earned Academic All-America honors. Prior to his return to Evansville in 2007, Simmons served as head coach for five years at Division II Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville, where he took over a program that had not won 10 games since 1999 and led the Cougars to 23 wins in 2005 and 25 in 2006. SIUE reached the NCAA Tournament in 2005 for the first time in 15 years, and Simmons was chosen as Great Lakes Valley Coach of the Year. A native of Lawrenceville, Ill., Simmons led Lawrenceville High School to back to back Class A state championships and became one of the most celebrated players in Illinois prep history. Affectionately known as ‘Mule,’ his 2,986 career points were the third most in Illinois history when he graduated in 1983. Simmons played at Lawrenceville for Ron Felling, who went on to become an assistant coach at Indiana University. Simmons himself spent his first two years of college at Indiana. As a freshman, he was a key player on I.U.’s final eight team in the 1984 NCAA Tournament. The 1985 team at Indiana finished as runner-up in the National Invitation Tournament (NIT). Simmons immediately helped turn around the UE program when he became eligible in 1986-87. He averaged 22.4 points as a junior and led Evansville to a first place tie in the Midwestern Collegiate Conference. As a senior, he finished sixth in the nation in scoring at 25.9, and finished ninth in balloting for the Associated Press College Basketball Player of the Year. He returned to the University of Evansville in 1990 as restricted earnings coach on Coach Crews’ staff, and remained in that position until taking the head coaching job in 1996-97 at Division III Wartburg (Iowa) College. Simmons returned to the University of Evansville the next season as a full-time assistant coach, and stayed at UE until taking the Southern Illinois-Edwardsville coaching job in April, 2002. He was inducted into the Illinois Basketball Coaches Association Hall of Fame in 1994, and the University of Evansville Athletics Hall of Fame in 1997. Simmons received his bachelor’s degree in business administration from UE in 1987, and his master’s in business administration in 1993. Marty and his wife, Angie, who grew up in nearby Newburgh, have four children: Brittany, Kelsey, Blake, and Cole.

2015-16 Preview
Illinois State 70
Reigning 2015 Missouri Valley Conference Newcomer of the Year DeVaughn Akoon-Purcell is one of three starters and six letterwinners returning for the 201516 Illinois State men’s basketball team which advanced to the MVC Tournament championship game following a thirdplace finish in the final league standings. Led by Akoon-Purcell, the 2014-15 Redbirds (22-13, 11-7 MVC) earned an at-large bid to the National Invitation Tournament (NIT) and recorded a first-round victory over Green Bay. Illinois State ended the year by winning seven of its final nine games, including a triumph over No. 8 Wichita State in the MVC Tournament semifinals, marking ISU’s fourth win over a Top-25 team in as many seasons. Under the guidance of fourth-year head coach Dan Muller (58-44), the 2015-16 Redbirds return 50.6 percent of their scoring, 54.5 percent of their rebounding and 61.8 percent of their assists and steals from last season. Returning junior point guard Paris Lee accounted for 32.3 percent of ISU’s steals and 30.4 of the Redbirds’ assists, earning 2015 MVC All-Defensive Team accolades for his efforts. Lee topped the MVC and ranked No. 9 nationally in steals (2.4 per game). He also led ISU in assists (3.6 per game), ranked second in the MVC with a 1.9 assist-to-turnover ratio, and averaged 6.8 points and 2.4 rebounds per game. Akoon-Purcell was ISU’s leading rebounder in 2014-15, averaging 5.6 rebounds per game, which ranked No. 6 in the league. He is also Illinois State’s leading returning scorer after ranking second on the team last season with 12.8 points averaged per contest. Along with receiving MVC Newcomer of the Year recognition, Akoon-Purcell was named to the MVC All-Newcomer Team. The Orlando, Florida, native reached double-figures in 20 of his 28 contests, with a team-best two double-doubles. Along with Akoon-Purcell and Lee, ISU’s other returners include: sophomore forward Deontae Hawkins (7.4 ppg, 5.2 rpg), senior guard Justin McCloud (3.1 ppg, 1.0 rpg), sophomore forward MiKyle McIntosh (5.8 ppg, 4.2 rpg) and junior guard Tony Wills (4.3 ppg, 2.2 rpg). Included among Illinois State’s newcomers is redshirt junior forward (New Mexico transfer) Nick Banyard, who practiced with the Redbirds but could not play during the 2014-15 season due to NCAA transfer rules. Along with five incoming freshmen, Illinois State also added a graduate transfer (Bethune-Cookman) in redshirt senior forward Quintin Brewer.

rienced team in NCAA Division I basketball. With just twoand-a-half years of returning experience, Muller guided ISU to an 18-win season, including marquee victories over a Top25 program (vs. No. 25 Dayton, Dec. 7), a Big Ten team (at Northwestern, Nov. 17), a BIG EAST opponent (vs. DePaul, Dec. 22) and an SEC foe (vs. Texas A&M, March 24). ISU had never before earned wins against the Big Ten, the BIG EAST and the SEC in the same season. In his first year at Illinois State (2012-13), Muller led the Redbirds to an 18-win season, with at least one victory against eight of the Missouri Valley Conference’s nine opponents, including a marquee win at No. 16 Creighton. Before becoming Illinois State’s leader, Muller spent 12 years as an assistant coach at Vanderbilt. Under former Illinois State head coach Kevin Stallings, Muller was regarded as one of the top assistant coaches in the country. As Vanderbilt’s recruiting coordinator, Muller spearheaded the program’s recruiting efforts beginning in 2006, which were the highest-rated recruiting classes in the history of the program. As a player, Muller guided Illinois State to two regular-season and Missouri Valley Conference Tournament championships and four postseason appearances, including trips to the NCAA Tournament in his final two seasons (1997 and 1998). Muller ranks 11th in career scoring with 1,445 points, while leading the Redbirds to a 91-37 overall record, and he still owns the school record with 128-consecutive starts (every game of his career). Muller was also a two-time MVC Defensive Player of the Year and was named the MVP of the Valley Tournament as a senior. In 2009, he was inducted into the Illinois State Athletics Percy Family Hall of Fame. Off the court, Muller was just as successful. He was a two-time GTE Academic All-American and a recipient of the NCAA’s Post-Graduate Scholarship. He also was named a Bone Scholar, the highest academic honor at ISU, and he is the only men’s basketball student-athlete to earn the award. After playing for the Redbirds, the Lafayette, Indiana, native spent two years playing professionally, including a stint with the NBA’s Vancouver Grizzlies. Muller is a 1998 graduate of Illinois State and graduated cum laude with a bachelor’s degree in organizational leadership. He later earned his master’s in business administration from Florida in 2003. He is married to Melissa Muller and has one stepson, Sib.
Illinois State
Dan Muller knows what it takes to lead the Illinois State men’s basketball team to the NCAA Tournament. He was the leader on the floor when the Redbirds qualified for the Big Dance in 1998, and he is striving to repeat that accomplishment, this time from the sidelines, as ISU’s head coach. Muller was named the 19th men’s basketball coach in school history May 8, 2012. Throughout his first three seasons, Muller has led the Redbirds to a 58-44 record, including three wins over Top-25 programs, plus victories against the Big Ten, BIG EAST and Southeastern Conference (SEC), along with three postseason wins. He is the first coach in Illinois State history to beat three Top-25 teams in his first three seasons. Muller has also guided ISU student-athletes to five AllMissouri Valley Conference selections (one first team, three second team and one honorable mention), three MVC AllNewcomer and All-Defensive Team honors, and one MVC All-Freshman Team accolade. Additionally, two Redbirds have garnered All-MVC Scholar-Athlete recognition under Muller’s tutelage. DeVaughn Akoon-Purcell was the 2014-15 MVC Newcomer of the Year. In his third season with the Redbirds (2014-15), Muller guided ISU to a 22-13 overall record, marking ISU’s most victories since 2009-10. Illinois State tied for third place in the Missouri Valley Conference with an 11-7 mark, also signifying ISU’s most league-victories since 2009-10. As the MVC Tournament’s fourth seed, the Redbirds upset No. 8 Wichita State in the semifinals, marking a Redbird win over ISU’s highest-ranked opponent since 1978. Illinois State also became just the second MVC team to beat Wichita State in more than two years. After falling to No. 11 Northern Iowa in the tournament championship game, the Redbirds earned an at-large bid to the National Invitation Tournament for the 13th time in program history. Fourth-seeded ISU advanced to the NIT second round by beating fifth-seeded Green Bay at home (Mar. 18). Along with Illinois State’s team success, ISU earned seven individual MVC honors under Muller’s guidance. The Redbirds also excelled in the classroom, establishing a team gradepoint average (GPA) record in the fall of 2014 with a 2.99 GPA, breaking the previous mark by 0.13 points. For his efforts, Muller was recognized as the 2015 Illinois Basketball Coaches Association (IBCA) NCAA Division I Coach of the Year. During his second season as Illinois State’s head coach (2013-14), Muller was charged with leading the most inexpe-

2015-16 Preview
Indiana State 80
The 2015-16 campaign promises to be an exciting one for the Indiana State Basketball program. The Sycamores overcame a slow non-conference start to surpass expectations last season with an 11-7 record in Missouri Valley Conference play and a third place finish in the league after being picked to finish sixth. The top teams in the MVC both spent time in the nation’s Top 10 last season. The Sycamores return nine letterwinners and three starters off last year’s team. Leading the way will be senior guard Devonte Brown who averaged 11.9 points and 4.4 rebounds per game to go with 101 assists. The reigning MVC Freshman of the Year is Brenton Scott and he returns with an 11.4 ppg average as he made 59 3-pointers one year ago. Also back is senior Khristian Smith who scored 10.5 ppg and posted 29 steals in 30 starts. Also back is Grant Prusator, who has worked incredibly hard in the offseason. He made 25 trifectas one year ago. Sophomore Brandon Murphy returns with a year of experience underneath his belt at the center position. Laquarious Paige and transfer Matt Van Scyoc have a year in the program and will be eligible to compete this season. Indiana State lost a projected starter over the summer when junior T.J. Bell, who averaged 3.1 ppg and 2.6 rebounds suffered a season-ending foot injury. Newcomers to the team include Everett Clemons, a transfer from Vincennes University who will see time at guard, transfer Niels Bunschoten, a lengthy big man who can step outside and knock down the 3-point shot, as well as freshman forward/center Emondre Rickman, who hails from Collinsville, Ill. Trey Knight III was added to the roster just before the start of the academic year and will compete for time at guard. Freshman Bronson Kessinger, a 6-8, 205 forward from Corydon, Ind., is expected to redshirt after suffering a severe leg injury late in his senior year of high school play.

Lansing saw several Sycamores earn postseason recognition from the league office. Devonte Brown was named the league’s Most Improved Player and was tabbed to the All-MVC Second Team. Brenton Scott picked up the program’s third-ever MVC Freshman of the Year honor while Tre’ Bennett was selected to the All-Bench Team. Justin Gant and Jake Kitchell were each First Team selections as MVC Scholar-Athletes. The Sycamores are 53-18 (.746) inside Hulman Center under Lansing. Additionally, the Sycamores are 63-8 with Lansing as head coach when allowing less than 63 points to the opposition (including a 17-0 mark when holding teams to 53 or less). Lansing burst onto the scene as a rookie head coach with the Sycamore basketball program in 2010-11 as he became just the second-ever Indiana State head coach to lead the team to the NCAA Tournament in his first season. He led the team to a 20-14 record, becoming just the 14th head coach in the history of the Missouri Valley Conference to lead a team to 20 or more victories in their first year at the helm. Lansing returned to Indiana State after a seven-year stint with the Iowa Hawkeyes. During Lansing’s seven years as assistant coach at Iowa, the Hawkeye’s went 135-92, received three NCAA Tournament invitations, three NIT appearances and won a pair of Big Ten tournament titles, the first of which came on four wins in four games making Iowa the first team in the Big Ten to accomplish such a feat. In Lansing’s final two seasons of his first stint at Indiana State, the Sycamores posted back-to-back winning campaigns for the first time since 1979 and 1980. When the Sycamores posted a 16-11 record in 1998 it marked the first winning season for Indiana State since 1980. Indiana State advanced to the NCAA Tournament in both 2000 and 2001. Prior to joining the staff at Indiana State, Lansing was the head basketball coach at Roosevelt High School in Des Moines, Iowa. Roosevelt had not had a winning season in 12 years before Lansing’s initial season. The Roughriders went on to have back-to-back winning seasons under Greg’s direction. Lansing earned a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of South Dakota in 1990 and a master’s degree in counseling from USD in 1992.
Indiana State
Greg Lansing is in his sixth season as the head basketball coach at Indiana State. He previously spent eight seasons with the program as an assistant coach, including three as associate head coach. Lansing (South Dakota, 1990) is 94-71 (.570) at the helm of the Sycamore basketball program. He owns a mark of 5238 in MVC games, including a 34-11 record at home. During his career, he is 53-18 in all home games with 28 road victories to his credit and is 33-16 in games decided by five points or less. Lansing is 7-4 in the MVC Tournament, with three of those victories coming as the lower seeded team. Indiana State’s game at Iowa in the 2014 NIT was Lansing’s 100th as Indiana State head coach. His 94 career victories rank sixth on ISU’s all-time win list. He is the second head coach to lead the Sycamores to the NCAA Tournament in their rookie campaign in the history of the program, with the other being Bill Hodges leading ISU to a 33-1 record and a Final Four appearance in the 1979 NCAA Tournament. Lansing was just the 14th rookie head coach in the history of the MVC to lead his team to 20 victories during their debut season. With a 23-win campaign in 2013-14, the Sycamores reached the 17-victory mark for the fifth consecutive season and notched five consecutive winning seasons for the first time in over 40 years under Lansing’s leadership. Lansing’s 52 career Missouri Valley Conference victories rank second in program history to Royce Waltman’s school record of 69. Over the last five years, the Sycamores’ 52 league victories are third most among the current membership. Under Lansing, the Sycamores have earned four victories over nationally-ranked teams. Those four victories are tied with Bill Hodges and Royce Waltman for the most in program history. ISU won at No. 14 Wichita State (in 2013) -- its best-victory over a nationally-ranked team on the road since 1999 and downed No. 13 Creighton (2013) at home, the highest ranked team to fall to Indiana State inside Hulman Center since joining the MVC. The Sycamores also have won at Vanderbilt (2012) and Notre Dame (2013) under Lansing while those opponents were ranked in the Top 25. In 2014-15, the Sycamores entered the season with a roster that featured seven newcomers. Despite a slow start in non-conference play, Lansing led the Sycamores to an 11-7 mark in the Missouri Valley Conference and earned the No. 3 seed at Arch Madness.

2015-16 Preview
Loyola
On the heels of the program’s most successful season since the mid1980s, Loyola is primed to carry that momentum into the 2015-16 season. The Ramblers return four starters and eight of their top nine scorers from last year’s team that won 24 games and capped the season by sweeping Louisiana-Monroe to win the College Basketball Invitational in their first postseason appearance since 1985. Heading a balanced and talented group is junior Milton Doyle, a dynamic, play-making guard who is back to full health after missing 12 games last year with a foot injury. The Ramblers were 19-6 (.760) with him in the lineup, with four of the six losses coming against ranked foes. However, Doyle is far from the team’s only weapon and he is joined by seniors Earl Peterson and Devon Turk in one of the Valley’s most explosive backcourts. Peterson capped off a terrific rookie season in Rogers Park by being named MVP of the CBI while Turk, with a full season left, is already Loyola’s all-time leader in three-point field goals. Sophomore Ben Richardson, who gained valuable experience last season and played a major role in Loyola’s postseason run, and senior Jeff White are joined by newcomer Tyson Smith in a deep and talented pool of guards. While Loyola must find a way to replace the production and toughness of Christian Thomas, the return of Montel James gives the Ramblers a proven scoring option in the paint. He finished second on the team in rebounding and third in scoring last season and will be counted on to continue to produce this season. The athletic and versatile Donte Ingram will be looked upon to build on a terrific freshman campaign in which he saw action in all 37 games while Jay Knuth and Julius Rajala also return. Loyola also welcomes a pair of newcomers to the frontcourt group in Maurice Kirby and Pernell Adgei. Kirby spent one season at Virginia Tech, redshirting before playing at Coffeyville CC last season. At 6-foot-9, he can give the Ramblers a big interior presence. Adgei is a tremendously athletic freshman who can help on both ends of the court. With a balanced and experienced group, head coach Porter Moser and the Ramblers will look to make a jump up the standings as they head into their third season in the MVC.

Entering his fourth season at the helm, Porter Moser engineered one of the best single-season improvements of any Division I program last season and has the Loyola University Chicago men’s basketball program firmly headed in the right direction. A native of Naperville, Ill., and a graduate of Benet Academy, Moser most recently served as the associate head coach at Saint Louis University under the late, great head coach Rick Majerus. Known as a tireless recruiter and a master game tactician, Moser has coached numerous all-conference players in his coaching career and Loyola’s 24 wins last season were a culmination of his hard work recruiting and ability to put his players in a position to win games. Loyola’s 2014-15 season was a magical one, as the Ramblers were the surprise package of the Missouri Valley, exceeding expectations every step of the way in posting their best season in 30 years. The Ramblers’ 24 wins were their most since 1985 and their RPI improvement of over 200 spots was third-best among Division I programs. A well-balanced and talented roster jelled very early in the season and Loyola closed its non-conference season with wins over Texas Tech and Boise State – a NCAA Tournament team – to win the Continental Tires Las Vegas Classic. Tournament MVP Milton Doyle was sidelined for 12 conference games but the Ramblers banded together and were playing their best basketball of the season down the stretch. A key, late-season road win at Drake thrust LU into Friday night’s quarterfinals at Arch Madness and the Ramblers put together a dominant performance, leading by as many as 39 points before settling for an Arch Madness-record 28-point victory before getting tripped up the next night in the semifinals by No. 11 UNI. The Ramblers’ 19 wins earned them a bid to the College Basketball Invitational (CBI), their first postseason appearance since the team advanced to the NCAA Sweet 16 in 1985. Loyola made the most of the opportunity, their brand of efficient and unselfish basketball propelling the Ramblers to a sweep of Louisiana-Monroe in the best-of-three championship series. The championship sweep put them in selective company as they are just the second team in the history of the tournament to sweep the title series, joining Shaka Smart’s VCU team. Success did not come overnight but Moser and the Ramblers’ accomplishments last season were due, in part, to the 2013-14 season, Loyola’s first in the Valley. The leader of that group was Doyle, who became just the seventh player in Missouri Valley history – and first since Doug McDermott – to win both the
MVC Newcomer and Freshman of the Year awards. Doyle was just one of three underclassmen who were big contributors that season, with Jeff White establishing himself at the point guard position and Turk continuing to provide shooting and scoring off the bench, with the sixth man earning a spot on the MVC AllBench Team. In addition, Thomas continued to improve, putting together another terrific campaign while adding new elements to his game. As a result, Thomas was one of just three MVC players to rank in the top 10 in the league in scoring, rebounding and field goal percentage, joining Wichita State’s Cleanthony Early and UNI’s Seth Tuttle. While the transition to the Valley was certainly an adjustment, Moser’s Ramblers showed that they fit in very well to one of America’s best basketball conferences. Loyola announced its presence with a 32-point home win over Missouri State for its first MVC win and endured a stretch in which five of its first seven losses were by single digits, with its most lopsided defeat being a 12-point setback at national power Wichita State. Loyola then provided one of Championship Week’s top moments in its first-ever game at Arch Madness, with Doyle knocking in a long, contested three-pointer at the buzzer to give the Ramblers a 74-72 win over Bradley. Named one of the top 50 assistant coaches in the country by Basketball Times in 2009, Moser was named associate head coach after spending one season as an assistant coach at Saint Louis. While with the Billikens, he helped SLU to a 69-61 overall record during his four years on the staff and the 2009-10 team posted a 23-13 overall record and reached the finals of the College Basketball Invitational before falling to VCU. Prior to his stint at Saint Louis, Moser was the head coach at Illinois State for four years before leaving behind a championship caliber team. After the 2003-04 squad notched a 10-19 record, Moser engineered a seven-game improvement in the win column in his second season as head coach as the Redbirds went 17-13 in 2004-05 despite being picked to finish last. Moser’s recruiting acumen helped land a talent-laden class in his final season at Illinois State, and that group was a critical component to three NIT berths in a three-year stretch from 2008-10. Moser’s first head coaching opportunity came at the University of Arkansas-Little Rock, and in three short seasons there, he steered the Trojans to a 54-34 overall record. He began his coaching career in 1990-91 as a graduate assistant coach at his alma mater, Creighton University, then spent four seasons as an assistant coach at Texas A&M University before moving to the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee for one season. As a player at Creighton, Moser was a two-year starter and helped the Bluejays to the 1989 Missouri Valley Conference title. He graduated in 1990 with a degree in business management.

2015-16 Preview
Missouri State 100
After a season filled with injuries and unexpected departures, the Bears find themselves in a unique position. Fifth-year head coach Paul Lusk returns all five starters from a squad that had as few as seven scholarship players in uniform late in the season, but a team that also rallied late in February in spite of the adversity. After a 2-0 start in league play a year ago, Missouri State fought through a stretch of 11 Valley losses in 12 games before splitting their last four MVC conference contests in late February. Leading that late-season resurgence were young guns Chris Kendrix and Austin Ruder who collectively led the Bears in scoring each of their last five games. Kendrix, now a sophomore, finished just outside the program’s all-time top 15 in freshman scoring with 189 points last year. However, he started the last 15 games of the season and was one of the top freshman players in The Valley down the stretch, averaging 15.7 points and 7.3 rebounds through that critical run at the end of the regular season. Ruder enters his junior season with a lot of momentum after finishing fifth in the league in 3-pointers per game (1.8) and ninth in minutes played (31.2) a year ago. He led MSU in scoring each of its last three ballgames, averaging 17.0 points, 39.0 minutes and 3.7 3-pointers per game down the stretch. Also returning for the Bears is senior big man Camyn Boone. Boone earned the squad’s player of the year award in his first campaign in Springfield after he shot better than 60 percent from the field and averaged 9.5 points in league games. As the rigor of the long season wore down some players, Boone got stronger, compiling 11.3 points and 5.3 boards per game over the last dozen contests. MSU also will turn to fellow seniors and returning starters Dorrian Williams and Loomis Gerring to turn the tides this winter. Williams enters his fifth season in Springfield on the heels of an MVC Most-Improved Team selection a year ago that saw him finish second in the league in assists (4.4), third in steals (1.5) and fourth in assist-to-turnover ratio (1.6) while getting the starting call in all 29 appearances. Gerring finished his junior year with 16 starts and was second on the team in rebounds, showing enough offensive flash to create anticipation for his senior surge. Lusk also returns fellow lettermen Shawn Roundtree, a sophomore guard who played more than 500 minutes as a true freshman, and Tyler McCullough, a true post who enters his junior season with 58 games under his belt.

Paul Lusk is in his fifth season as Missouri State’s sideline boss, and the former MVC standout player continues to impress as a head coach in the league he grew up in. Lusk led the Bears to their first 20-win season and postseason appearance of his tenure in 2013-14 with MSU’s trip to the Valley Tournament semifinals and CIT first round. This year, he returns five starters and has three seniors ready to lead the way back to the postseason for the 2015-16 season. In 2014-15, the Bears fought through a season filled with adversity and injuries, but managed an 8-6 record at JQH Arena to complete the club’s 44th straight season with a winning record at home. The Bears also finished in the top 100 of all Division I programs in home attendance for the 30th straight season. Postseason honors in Lusk’s fourth year included a pair of MVC Scholar-Athlete performers with first-team pick Austin Ruder and second-team selection Tyler McCullough -- both sophomores -- setting the pace. Junior point guard Dorrian Williams was also named to the MVC Most-Improved Team by league beat writers, and junior transfer Camyn Boone earned MSU’s prestigious Coors Player of the Year honor as a newcomer. After his third season in Springfield in 2013-14, Lusk was recognized with distinguished honors. He finished third in the MVC Coach of the Year voting and was named a finalist for the 2014 Skip Prosser Man of the Year Award. The Prosser Award is presented annually to honor those elite coaches who not only achieve success on the basketball court but who display moral integrity off of it. Lusk’s Bears played four top-10 ranked teams in his third season and parlayed that experience into manufacturing the eighthbest turnaround in the NCAA Division I ranks. MSU improved by a +9.0 margin in the span of a year, the third-best improvement in MSU history as well. The Bears fought to find their identity at times down the stretch, but tied for fourth place overall in a competitive Missouri Valley race. All told, nine MSU opponents played postseason games in 2014-15, including four in the NCAA field, with the Bears going 7-7 against postseason clubs. Senior Jarmar Gulley earned second-team All-MVC honors in 2014, while classmate Nathan Scheer snagged MVC Scholar-Athlete Team honors for a third straight year. Likewise, local product Austin Ruder earned MVC All-Freshman team honors after he broke the Bears’ freshman 3-point record (72), making him just the fourth freshman in Valley history to score 70 or more longrange shots in a season. MSU also advanced to the MVC Tournament semifinals for the first time since 2011, but the Bears’ run in the 2014 CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament was short-lived with eventual champion Murray State clipping the Bears in come-from-behind fashion, 66-63, to end the season with a 20-13 ledger, including
a 14-3 mark at JQH Arena. MSU finished 85th in the final regularseason RPI, making it the highest-rated team in Division I to not make the 2014 NIT or NCAA fields. In 2012-13, Lusk fielded the seventh-youngest team in The 44-year-old coach came to Missouri State after seven seasons as an assistant coach at Purdue. When Cuonzo Martin accepted the MSU job in 2008, Lusk was promoted to Boilermakers’ associate head coach under Purdue’s top man, Matt Painter, a position he held until coming to MSU. Lusk was named by FoxSports.com as one of the nation’s top 25 high-major assistant coaches in the summer of 2010. In April 2011, Lusk was inducted into the Illinois Basketball Hall of Fame. After his first year at MSU, CollegeSportsMadness.com named Lusk its 2012 MVC coach of the year after taking the Bears from a predicted sixth-place finish to tie for third. During his tenure on the Purdue coaching staff, Lusk helped guide the Boilermakers to five consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances with a collective 129-45 ledger during that span. He first came to West Lafayette in 2004-05 as an assistant under then-coach Gene Keady and stayed on board at Purdue when Painter took the coaching reigns in 2005-06. Before moving to Purdue, he spent one season on Painter’s staff at Southern Illinois in 2003-04, a campaign that also culminated in an NCAA Tournament berth, a No. 15 national ranking and a 25-5 overall record. Prior to that, he spent one season as head coach at (Division III) University of Dubuque in Iowa. His head coaching debut came on the heels of three seasons at Division II Missouri Southern State in Joplin where he was an assistant under coach Robert Corn. The Lions were 71-21 in that span (1999-2002) with an NCAA Tournament appearance in 1999-2000. His coaching career started with a one-year stint as an assistant at Southwestern Illinois College in Belleville where coach Jay Harrington’s Blue Storm finished 19-12. The native of New Baden, Ill., began his playing career at Iowa in 1990 where he spent two years before he found a home at SIU under coach Rich Herrin. He helped guide the Salukis to three straight NCAA Tournament trips (1993-95), earning All-MVC second-team honors in 1994 with a 15.2 scoring average as a junior. As a senior, he earned a spot on the Valley Scholar-Athlete and All-Tournament teams and finished his career with 1,666 points.

2015-16 Preview
UNI 110
Northern Iowa returns nine letterwinners and two starters from a squad that set school records for wins (31) and league victories (16). UNI will enter the 2015-16 season riding an 18-game home-court winning streak – which ranks No. 12 in the nation among active home-court win streaks. The Panthers were a perfect 15-0 at home last season. The Panthers home-court streak will be tested early and often in non-conference play with home games against Colorado State (Nov. 14), Stephen F. Austin (Nov. 17) and North Carolina (Nov. 21). Heading the list of returners for the Panthers are a trio of seniors in the backcourt in Matt Bohannon, Paul Jesperson and Wes Washpun. Bohannon is closing in on the school record for made 3-pointers in a career. Bohannon enters the 2015-16 season having drained 175 3-pointers (Ben Jacobson set the mark of 203 from 2002-2006). Bohannon has started 72 career games (including 66 in a row heading into the 2015-16 season). Washpun is the reigning MVC Sixth Man of the Year award winner having averaged 7.6 ppg last season. Washpun ranked second on the team in assists (91) and blocks (17), while ranking third on the squad in steals (34). Washpun earned honorable mention All-MVC honors in 2014-15. Jesperson earned a spot on the MVC’s All-Newcomer squad after averaging 5.9 ppg and shooting 48.3 percent from the field. Junior guard Jeremy Morgan started all 35 games and averaged 5.8 ppg for the Panthers. He was also one of three Panthers honored on the MVC Scholar-Athlete team. Sophomore guard Wyatt Lohaus enjoyed a solid freshman season that saw him play in all 35 games, while averaging 3.8 ppg. Lohaus drained 47.2 percent of his 3-point shots and was an 85.2 percent shooter from the foul line. Head coach Ben Jacobson is entering his 10th season at the helm of the Panther program having posted a career mark of 197-105. Jacobson is UNI’s all-time coaching wins leader, having passed Hon “O.M.” Nordly at the start of the 2014-15 season. Jacobson was named the 2014-15 MVC Coach of the Year, marking the third time that he has earned the league’s top coaching honor.

UNI
UNI head coach Ben Jacobson is entering his 10th season at the helm of the Panther men’s basketball program and is the program’s all-time wins leader with 197. In nine seasons at UNI, Jacobson has posted an overall record of 197-105 (.652 winning percentage). Jacobson has averaged 21.9 wins per season at UNI. Jacobson guided UNI to a 31-4 record in the 2014-15 season, which included a school-record 16-game winning streak, an MVC Tournament title and the school’s first-ever top-10 national ranking. He also led UNI to its fourth all-time NCAA Tournament victory with a 71-54 triumph over Wyoming in the second round. The 2014-15 season also saw UNI’s Seth Tuttle earned consensus second-team All-America honors. For the third time in nine seasons, Jacobson was awarded the Missouri Valley Conference’s Coach of the Year Award. Jacobson led the Panthers to a school-best 16 MVC wins in league play. The Panthers posted their fourth consecutive top-three finish in the 2015 Missouri Valley Conference standings with a 16-2 league mark. UNI has finished in the top three of the MVC standings in five of the last six seasons under coach Jacobson. UNI has also placed in the upper half of the MVC standings in 12 straight seasons. Prior to the current streak starting in 2003-04 (when UNI tied for second and won the MVC Tournament), the Panthers had only finished in the top half of the league standings twice since joining the conference in 1991. Jacobson has guided the Panthers to postseason play in six of his nine seasons as head coach, including three trips to the NCAA Tournament (2009, 2010 and 2015). UNI reached the Sweet 16 in 2010 following wins over UNLV and No. 1-ranked Kansas. UNI competed in the 2012 National Invitational Tournament and scored a first-round road victory over Saint Joseph’s. UNI also took part in the 2011 and 2013 CollegeInsider.com tournaments. UNI advanced to the semifinals of the 2013 CIT. Jacobson has had 17 players earn All-MVC first team, second team or honorable mention honors in his tenure at UNI. His tenure has also seen UNI honored with a pair of Larry Bird MVC Player of the Year honorees in Adam Koch (2010) and Seth Tuttle (2015).
Jacobson has also seen 17 players earn Academic AllConference honors for the Panthers in his time at UNI. Adam Koch (2010) and Nate Buss (2015) each earned MVC Scholar-Athlete of the Year honors for the Panthers. UNI is the only men’s basketball school in the MVC to have earned the APR Top-10 percent honor in each of the previous two seasons. The Panthers have had players make immediate impact during Jacobson’s tenure with seven players earning a spot on either the MVC All-Newcomer or MVC All-Freshmen teams since the 2006-07 season. Seth Tuttle earned MVC Freshman of the Year honors in 2012. Jacobson is the only Panther head coach to have posted wins at Iowa and at Iowa State. Jacobson’s 2006-07 UNI squad notched the program’s first-ever win in Iowa City with a 57-55 win over the University of Iowa. He has posted three victories over Iowa State in Hilton Coliseum. Jacobson led the Panthers to wins in Ames on Nov. 27, 2007 (61-48), Dec. 2, 2009 (63-60) and Nov. 30, 2011 (69-62). Prior to Jacobson’s three-game win streak in Ames, UNI had won only two times in Ames - in 1997 (54-48) under Eldon Miller and in 1963 when Norm Stewart led the Panthers to a 59-54 win. Before taking over as head coach, Jacobson was the Panthers’ top assistant coach starting in 2001, and was a key cog in bringing the Panthers from the basement of the Missouri Valley Conference to the penthouse. With Jacobson on staff, the development of UNI basketball has been remarkable. UNI has also advanced to the NCAA tournament five times since the start of the 2003-04 season (2004, 2005, 2006, 2009 and 2010), including receiving two at-large bids. UNI also achieved its first-ever Division I top-25 ranking during the 2005-06 season. While this is Jacobson’s first head coaching job, he had 12 years of prior assistant coaching experience. Before joining former UNI head coach Greg McDermott in Cedar Falls beginning with the 2001-02 campaign, he served one season as an assistant coach under McDermott at Division II North Dakota State. His responsibilities there included serving as recruiting and academic coordinator.

2015-16 Preview
Southern Illinois 120
The cornerstone of the 2015-16 Saluki Basketball team will be All-Conference senior guard Anthony Beane, who enters the season with 1,300 career points and is on pace to finish among the top-five scorers in school history. The son of assistant coach Anthony Beane Sr., he has started 66-consecutive games and 87 games overall in his three-year career. Beane ranks among the school’s all-time leaders in 3-pointers (14th), free-throw percentage (20th), steals (16th) and minutes played per game (6th). Beane’s supporting cast features two more returning starters in 6-foot-6 junior forward Sean O’Brien and junior shooting guard Tyler Smithpeters. A year ago, O’Brien averaged 7.4 points and led the team in assists (54) and blocks (23). He also ranked 12th in the MVC in rebounding (4.9). Smithpeters started 20 games for SIU last year, averaged 4.3 points, and was second behind Beane in 3-pointers (25). The trio of Beane, O’Brien and Smithpeters have combined to play 223 collegiate games together and made 176 starts. Southern has three more returning veterans — all of them in the front court — and all are expected to contribute in 2015-16. Junior Bola Olaniyan has been a part-time starter during his career but is the team’s active leader in rebounds (285). In fact, he ranked sixth in the MVC in offensive rebounding (2.0) last year and recorded double-doubles in back-to-back games against Indiana State and at Wichita State. Seniors Ibby Djimde (2.3 points) and Deng Leek (0.8 points) provide depth off the bench. Leek is only the third 7-footer on scholarship in the program’s history. The Salukis expect redshirt freshmen Armon Fletcher and Austin Weiher to both compete for playing time this season. They also welcome five new scholarship players, and three of them are junior college players who could provide immediate help. Mike Rodriguez and Leo Vincent will battle for the starting point guard spot, and both arrive with impressive credentials. Forward Jeremy Postell adds length to SIU’s front-court rotation. True freshmen Sean Lloyd and Rudy Stradnieks round out the list of newcomers. Head coach Barry Hinson enters his fourth season at Southern and 13th year as a Missouri Valley Conference head coach. He is the league’s winningest active coach with 209 overall victories and 114 conference wins. Only four head coaches in the 100-year history of the MVC have won more conference games.

Southern Illinois
With 12 seasons as the head coach at two Missouri Valley Conference schools (Missouri State and Southern Illinois), Barry Hinson is the league’s winningest active coach with 209 overall victories and 114 conference wins. Only four head coaches in the 100-year history of the MVC have won more conference games. When it comes to the league’s annual tournament, Hinson’s win total is equally impressive. His 13 conference tournament victories ranks third all-time behind only Dana Altman (Creighton) and Rich Herrin (Southern Illinois), and he recently surpassed Nolan Richardson (Tulsa). In two of his three seasons at Southern Illinois, Hinson has finished among the top vote getters for MVC Coach of the Year. In 2014, he finished runner-up for Coach of the Year to Wichita State’s Gregg Marshall, after Hinson’s squad improved from 10th to fourth place in the MVC, marking the biggest leap in the standings in school history. The Salukis won eight of their last 12 games in 2014 and fans were so energized by the resurgence of the program that the final home game featured the first sell-out of SIU Arena in six years. The Salukis also advanced to the semifinals of the MVC Tournament for the first time in seven years. Although SIU finished 10th in the league standings in 2013 with a 6-12 mark, Hinson placed third in the voting for Missouri Valley Conference Coach of the Year, the highest finish ever for the coach of a last-place MVC team. Hinson won over the fan base with his likable, no-nonsense, common-man demeanor. He kept a positive outlook after the team began conference play with a 1-10 record. On Feb. 5, the Salukis snapped a six-game losing streak by beating No. 22 Wichita State for their first win over a ranked opponent since 2008. That victory was the first of six wins in the team’s final eight regular-season games. After the season, Hinson was rewarded with a one-year
contract extension that will keep him at SIU through the 2017-18 season. Hinson was named the school’s basketball head coach during a press conference on March 28, 2012. He became just the 13th head coach in the 99-year history of the program. Hinson, 53, served four years on Bill Self’s staff at the University of Kansas from 2008-12. The Jayhawks were one of the nation’s premier programs during that four-year span with a combined 107-21 record and a trip to the National Championship game in 2012. Prior to Kansas, Hinson was the head coach at Missouri State for nine seasons. While at Missouri State, he guided the Bears to a 169-117 record (.591) with postseason NIT teams in 2000, 2005, 2006 and 2007. His 2006 squad was left out of the NCAA Tournament with a 21 RPI. That club went on to win NIT games over Stanford and Houston. Although Southern Illinois dominated the Missouri Valley Conference by winning six-straight championships from 2002 to 2007, Hinson’s Bears beat Southern 10 times -more than any other conference school during his nine-year tenure. The Bears had three 20-win seasons under Hinson and advanced to the finals of the MVC Tournament three times. Twenty-three of Hinson’s 26 players who completed their eligibility as seniors for the Bears received undergraduate degrees from Missouri State. Thirteen of Hinson’s players went on to play professionally overseas. A native of Marlow, Okla., Hinson spent eight years as a high school coach in Oklahoma before landing a college job on Self’s staff at Oral Roberts in 1993. Four years later, he took over for Self at ORU and produced records of 19-12 and 17-11 in two years as head coach and tied for two MidContinent Conference regular-season titles. Hinson and his wife, Angie, have two daughters, Tiffany and Ashley, and a grandson, Carter. He is the son of Tiffany and Niles Thomason, who passed away on Christmas Day, 2013.

2015-16 Preview
Wichita State 130
The return of three starters and nine lettermen – including All-American seniors Ron Baker and Fred Van Vleet – from last year’s Sweet 16 squad has Wichita State poised for another season in the national spotlight. In two short years, the Shockers have gone from a Cinderella story at the 2013 Final Four to an established contender with wire-to-wire rankings in each of the past two years. The two-time defending Missouri Valley Conference champions have the highest winning percentage in the country since the start of the 2010-11 campaign (151-29, .839) and – this year - are looking to match a national record with a fourth-consecutive 30win season. The Shockers will look to win with much of the same recipe as a year ago when they finished in the top 10 nationally in scoring defense (57.4, 10th), assist-to-turnover ratio (1.46, 9th) and fewest turnovers per game (9.3, 4th), thanks to the play of their veteran guards. In Baker and VanVleet, the Shockers boast one of the nation’s most talented and decorated back-courts. Both have been fixtures on the All-Valley first team since their sophomore seasons. VanVleet (13.6 ppg, 5.3 apg last year) is already WSU’s career assists leader with 465 and has ranked in the top-10 nationally in assist-to-turnover ratio in each of the past two seasons. Baker (14.7 ppg, 4.5 rpg) helped lead the United States to a bronze medal at this summer’s Pan American games, starting all five contests, and is on pace to finish in the top-10 on WSU’s all-time scoring list. The pair will have plenty of help Fifth-year senior Evan Wessel (4.2 ppg, 3.7 rpg) – a comprehensive glue guy started 31 games last season at power forward and played an instrumental role in wins over UNI and Kansas. Last year’s young front court is a year older and wiser. 6-11 senior Bush Wamukota (1.1 ppg, 1.5 rpg) and the sophomore group of 6-7 Rashard Kelly (2.9 ppg, 2.9 rpg), 6-8 Shaquille Morris (4.7 ppg, 2.6 rpg, MVC All-Freshman Team), 6-10 Rauno Nurger (2.3 ppg, 1.2 rpg) are all entering the second seasons of Division I basketball. Another sophomore, small forward Zach Brown (3.3 ppg, 1.4 rpg), also emerged as a scoring option down the stretch with key NCAA Tournament performances against Indiana (season high 11 points, 8 rebounds) and Kansas (7 points).

Wichita State
Gregg Marshall has built Wichita State into a monster of the Midwest and, in the process, ascended as one of college basketball’s elite head coaches. Now entering his ninth season at WSU and his 18th overall, Marshall (398-159 career record) is the only coach in Division I who has posted 30 or more wins in each of the past three seasons, and his .839 winning percentage (151-29) over the last five years is a national-best. Under Marshall’s guidance, WSU has been on a steady rise, topping 25 wins in each of the past six seasons. His Shockers followed up a 2011 NIT Championship with four-straight NCAA Tournament trips, including runs to the 2013 Final Four and the 2015 Sweet 16. The 2014 squad ran the table in the regular season, becoming the first team in 23 years to enter the Big Dance with an unbeaten record. That historic 35-0 start earned Marshall consensus national coach of the year honors. Despite the presence of eight new scholarship players, Marshall led the 2014-15 Shockers to a 27-3 regular season record and a second-straight Missouri Valley Conference title. In his 18 seasons as a head coach, Marshall’s teams have captured nine regular season conference titles and advanced to the NCAA Tournament 11 times, while compiling a 398-159 overall record. He’s won seven conference coach-of-the-year honors, including a run of three-in-a-row from 2012-14. Marshall (204-76 in eight previous seasons at WSU) needs just 16 more wins to catch Ralph Miller atop the Shockers’ alltime wins list. Marshall has proven adept at spotting talented prospects and developing them into high-level college basketball players, with many moving on to play professionally. During the 2014-15 season, three former Shockers saw action – Gal Mekel (Pelicans), Toure’ Murry (Jazz/ Wizards) and Cleanthony Early (Knicks). In Marshall’s eight seasons in Wichita, a total of 17 Shockers have earned postseason All-MVC honors, including 10 firstteamers since 2010 (surpassing WSU’s total from the previous 26 years combined). WSU’s depth and tenacious team defense has been a source of strength, throughout. Over the past five years, six Shockers have landed on the MVC’s All-Bench Team and seven more have
earned MVC All-Defensive Team nods. Under Marshall, the Shockers have become a top destination for some of the nation’s premier junior college talent. Nine NJCAA All-Americans have worn the black and yellow since Marshall’s arrival, including the NBA-bound Early, who was a two-time national player of the year prior to his arrival at WSU. Marshall has also had big success developing coaching talent, with a rapidly expanding tree of seven former assistants who have gone on to accept Division I head coaching positions. The latest is Steve Forbes, a Shocker assistant from 201315, who took the reigns at East Tennessee State in March of 2015. Other active head coaches include Earl Grant, College of Charleston; Dana Ford, Tennessee State; Barclay Radebaugh, Charleston Southern; and Zach Spiker, Army. Marshall was named head coach at WSU on April 14, 2007, following a nine-year run at Winthrop, where he earned seven NCAA Tournament bids and averaged over 20 wins per season. He saved his best for last, taking the 2006-07 Eagles to their third-straight Big South Conference title and the school’s firstever NCAA tournament victory, beating No. 6 seed Notre Dame. The 2006-07 Eagles finished 29-5, earned a No. 22 national ranking in both major polls, and became the first team in Big South history to go undefeated in loop play (14-0). For his efforts, Marshall was voted Big South Coach of the Year for the fourth time (1999, 2003, 2005, 2007) and also took home a pair of mid-major national coach of the year honors (Collegehoops.net and Collegeinsider.com’s Hugh Durham Award). In 13 years as an assistant coach, the schools that Marshall was associated with compiled a record of 268-129 (.680). During the two years leading up to his arrival at Winthrop, Marshall served as an assistant coach at Marshall University where he helped guide the Thundering Herd to the 1997 Southern Conference championship. In the eight years prior (1988-96) Marshall was an assistant on John Kresse’s staff at the College of Charleston when the Cougars made the most successful transition ever from NAIA to NCAA Division I with an NCAA tournament at-large bid in 1994 and consecutive NIT invitations in 1995 and 1996. Before joining Kresse’s staff in Charleston, Marshall spent one year as an assistant at Belmont Abbey College (1987-88), and two years at his alma mater, Randolph-Macon College in Ashland, Va., (1985-1987), where he earned a degree in economics/business in 1985. He also holds a Master’s in Sport Management from the University of Richmond (1987). He is married to the former Lynn Munday of Bellingham, Wash. They are the parents of a son, Kellen, and a daughter, Maggie.

State Farm MVC Tournament
Tournament
The Missouri Valley Conference will conduct its 26th St. Louis-based postseason men’s basketball championship when the State Farm MVC Tournament takes the hardwood at Scottrade Center, formerly known as Savvis Center, on March 3-6, 2016. The State Farm MVC Tournament, also known uniquely as “Arch Madness” to Valley fans, will be played at Scottrade Center for the 22nd time. With 26-straight years at the same neutral site, Arch Madness is the second-longest neutral site tenured collegiate tourney in the nation (following only the Big East in New York City). The tournament -- for the 11thstraight year -- will begin Thursday and end Sunday. From 1997-2005, the tournament had started on a Friday and ended on a Monday. Notably, the 2016 men’s basketball tournament will mark the return as State Farm Insurance as the event’s title sponsor. The Valley remains the only college athletics conference that State Farm sponsors, and State Farm has been a sponsor of the Conference since 1984, first as an advertiser on league TV games. State Farm last had naming rights of the men’s basketball championship in 2012. The State Farm MVC Tournament site has moved from Kiel Auditorium (1991) to the Saint Louis Arena

(1992-1994) to Scottrade Center (1995-present). In 2015, the tournament drew more than 42,000 fans for the 20th-straight year. The 2007 turnstile of 85,074 set a league record in the league’s tournament history in St. Louis. Last year’s figure was 50,187, and the league has had a tournament turnstile of better than 50,000 in each of the past 13 seasons. The per-session average of 10,037 was among the Top 10 nationally (see chart at left). Since the Conference moved its tournament to St. Louis in 1991, some of the greatest moments in Valley men’s basketball history have occurred in the Gateway City. In 1995, Southern Illinois completed a three-peat at the Conference tournament -- the only time a league school has won three consecutive tourney championships. In the 1996 semis, Bradley’s Deon Jackson hit an improbable threepointer with no time remaining for a 64-62 win over Missouri State. His shot was nominated for an ESPN “ESPY Award” for the college basketball play of the year. In 1998, Illinois State took its second-straight regular-season and conference tournament titles -- the first time in Missouri Valley Conference history that a school had ac-
complished that feat. In 2005, UNI was eliminated in the quarterfinals of the tournament and still received an at-large berth into the NCAAs. That marked the first time a team that failed to advance to the MVC tournament semis earned a spot in the NCAA tourney. The 2008 Tournament marked the first time the top-seeded team (Drake) won the title since Illinois State swept the regular-season and tournament titles during the 199798 season. Since 2008, the No. 1 seed has claimed the tournament and regular-season titles four times as UNI (2009, 2010), Creighton (2013), and Wichita State (2014) swept both the regular-season and tournament crowns. In 2014, Wichita State claimed its first ever conference tournament title in St. Louis, winning three games in convincing fashion. Milton Doyle of Loyola added to the tournament lore with a 35-foot buzzer beater in the Ramblers’ first-ever tournament game as LUC edged Bradley, 74-72, in an opening round game. That year, the Shockers became just the eighth top-seeded team to win the league tournament title (in 25 previous tries) in St. Louis. Notably, no seed worse than a No. 5 has won the title. To celebrate the tournament’s 20th
State Farm MVC Tournament
The 2007 MVC Tournament established league records every session: opening (8,013), day quarterfinal (15,186), night quarterfinal (16,651), semifinal (22,612), championship (22,612) and total tournament attendance (85,074).
anniversary in St. Louis in 2010, the league conducted a two-month, online voting campaign which was sponsored by FOX Sports Midwest. And Missouri Valley Conference fans chose Deon Jackson’s buzzer-beating three-pointer in 1996 as the top moment in Arch Madness history. In addition to Jackson’s exploits in 1996, the other top five moments include Creighton’s Nate Funk leading the Bluejays to the 2007 Arch Madness title in front of a sold out Scottrade Center crowd, Bluejay Bob Harstad pacing CU to the first Arch Madness crown in 1991, Illinois State’s Osiris Eldridge nearly leading the Redbirds to the 2009 championship and UNI’s Ben Jacobson helping the Panthers take the 2004 crown in double-overtime vs. Missouri State. And during that same 20th anniversary online voting campaign, sponsored by AT&T Real Yellow Pages, Creighton’s Kyle Korver -- the first back-to-back Most Outstanding Player in MVC Men’s Basketball Championship history -- was selected the top player in Arch Madness history by a vote of the league’s fans. In addition to Korver, the other top five players include Nate Funk (Creighton), Osiris Eldridge (Illinois State), Rodney Buford (Creighton) and Ryan Sears (Creighton). Funk (2007), Buford (1999) and Sears (2000) all earned Most Outstanding Player recognition for a team that won the championship, while Eldridge (2009) became only the second player in tournament history
to earn Most Valuable Player honors for a team that did not take the title. In 2011, the millionth fan -- Tyler Anderson of Milwaukee, Wis. -- crossed through the turnstiles and was awarded a prize package that included tournament tickets for life. The 2012 tournament featured two nationally ranked teams for the first time as Wichita State (14) and Creighton (24) entered the tournament as ranked teams. That was duplicated in 2015 as Wichita State (8) and UNI (11) represented the MVC in the Associated Press Top 25. 2015 Tournament Review
The tournament featured two ranked teams for the second time in four years as Wichita State and UNI both were ranked among the Top 11 teams in the country. Both teams entered tournament play with 27 wins, marking the winningest pair of teams at the conference tournament in its 39-year history. UNI won its first two games of the tournament by 25 points and 14 points, respectively and met Illinois State in the championship game after the Redbirds ousted top-seeded and regular-season champion Wichita State, 6562, in the semis.
For the sixth-straight year, the Missouri Valley Conference will televise the Thursday opening-round games and quarterfinal games on FOX Sports Midwest and Comcast SportsNet. For the first time, the semifinals will air on CBS Sports Network. All games will be shown in High Definition. The MVC Championship game will be telecast live on CBS (more than 100 million homes) for an 11thstraight year. The 2006 tournament title game aired by CBS Sports marked the first over-the-air national broadcast of an MVC game since Jan. 28, 1989, when BYU beat Wichita State, 93-92.
Tournament
The Redbirds built an 18-point first half lead, but UNI rallied to win the game, and the NCAA automatic bid with a 69-60 result. The comeback win by the Panthers was the largest deficit overcome in a title game and second-largest in tournament history. Two Panthers landed a spot on the all-tournament team, including Most Outstanding Player Seth Tuttle and Nate Buss. They were joined by Illinois State’s Daishon Knight and Reggie Lynch and Wichita State’s Fred VanVleet. 2016 Tournament Notes

Deon Jackson’s last-second three-point heave lifted Bradley to a 64-62 win against Missouri State in 1996. During the 20th anniversary celebration (2010), it was voted as the top play in tournament history by MVC fans.

Regular-season standings are the determining factor in setting first-round pairings for the MVC Tournament. All ties will be broken starting at the top of the conference standings and working down. The tie-breaking system for seeding of the MVC Tournament, regardless of whether a tie involves two or more teams, will utilize the following factors, in order, until all ties are broken. For 2016, the league voted to revise the men’s basketball tournament seeding tiebreaker policy to utilize the overall adjusted RPI, as published in The RPI Report on the morning after the final regular-season MVC game. From 2011-15, the league utilized non-conference schedule strength as its second step (after head-to-head). From 1993-2010, the MVC utilized a point-system tiebreaker, which awarded point values to home/away victories that were assigned to a team based on its position in the final regular-season standings.

1. Records in head-to-head competition are compared, with the higher seed going to the team that has won the most games against the other. 2. If head-to-head competition does not break the tie, the deadlock will be broken using the overall adjusted RPI, as published in The RPI Report on the morning after the final regular-season MVC game. The team with the better overall adjusted RPI will receive the higher seed.

1. If three or more teams are tied, regular-season competition among the tied schools shall be pooled into a “mini round-robin.” Teams shall be ranked according to their position in such a round- robin. 2. If head-to-head competition does not break the tie, the deadlock will be broken using the overall adjusted RPI, as published in The RPI Report on the morning after the final regular-season MVC game. The teams will be seeded in order of their overall adjusted RPI.

MVC Tournament Results
Tournament 166
In 2015, UNI claimed its fourth MVC Tournament title in St. Louis and its first since earning back-to-back crowns in 2009 and 2010. UNI, as the No. 2 seed, marked the 17th non-No. 1 seed to win the MVC title in the 25-year history in St. Louis. In 2011, Missouri State became the first topseeded tournament team to not reach the NCAAs for the first time since 1993 (when Illinois State lost to second-seeded SIU in the finals). Only three top-seeded teams in 25 previous events in St. Louis have failed to reach the NCAA Tournament (MSU2011; ISU-1993, Southern Illinois-1992). Prior to 2011, the top seed had earned an NCAA bid for 17-straight years. In the 39 previous seasons of the MVC Tournament, only twice has a seed worse than a No. 3 won the title (No. 4 Creighton won in 2000 and No. 5 Indiana State won in 2001). Thirty-seven of 39 previous tournament champions were seeded 1, 2, or 3. The top two seeds have had the most success, winning a combined 30 times, and the top two seeds have won 17 titles in St. Louis (in 25 total tries). The last 10 MVC tournament champions have consisted of five top seeds, four No. 2 seeds, and a No. 3 seed. Since the league expanded to its current 10team format in 1997, only one team that has played in the opening round has reached the semifinals (won two games). Bradley, seeded a No. 7 in 1998, beat 10th-seeded Drake and then upset No. 2 seed Creighton, before falling in the semifinals to Missouri State. Notably, the sixth-seeded teams have recorded a combined 5-25 mark in tourney games in St. Louis.
Before Drake swept the regular-season and tournament titles in 2008, the previous No. 1 seed to win the league tourney was Illinois State in 1998. The top-seeded team has won the tournament 15 times (of 39). And the top seed has won eight times in 25 years in St. Louis. Tournament Titles, By Seed 1 2 3 4 5

NCAA Tournament - St. Louis, the Host During the tenure of Doug Elgin, The Valley’s ninth and longest-tenured commissioner, The Valley has been aggressive in hosting NCAA events in St. Louis. That role came to a spectacular climax in April 2005 as the conference collaborated with local partners to stage the Men’s Final Four at the Edward Jones Dome. The Valley has helped bring 11 NCAA events to St. Louis since 1998, hosting men’s regionals in 1998, 1999, 2004, 2007 and 2010; a men’s first/second round in 2002, the Women’s Final Four in 2001 and in 2009, and the Men’s Final Four in 2005. Creighton and The Valley co-hosted a men’s basketball first/second round in 2008 in Omaha. The MVC hosted a second/third round in Kansas City, Mo., in 2013, and hosted a second/third round in St. Louis at Scottrade Center in 2014. The 2009 Women’s Final Four, hosted by the MVC and the city of St. Louis, marked the fifth Final Four in the history of the city, including three men’s event (1973, 1978, 2005), plus the 2001 Women’s Final Four. The 2009 Women’s Final Four was the third NCAA Final Four in that decade in St. Louis, following the 2001 Women’s Final Four at Savvis Center (now named Scottrade Center), and the 2005 Men’s Final Four at the Edward Jones Dome. Beginning with the 1998 NCAA Midwest Regional, and culminating with the 2010 NCAA Midwest Regional, the city of St. Louis hosted nine NCAA basketball events in a 13-year span. In 2012, Saint Louis University hosted an NCAA Midwest Regional in St. Louis. And the MVC will host a first/ second round at Scottrade Center in March 2016. YEAR-BY-YEAR HIGHLIGHTS OF ST. LOUIS EVENTS
Post-season 226
2014 -- The 2nd/3rd Round event marked the return to Scottrade Center, which hadn’t hosted an NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament event since 1998. Wichita State entered the tournament with a perfect 34-0 record, marking an NCAA record for most wins without a loss for a team entering NCAA Tournament play. Stanford reeled off two upsets, knocking off higher-seeded New Mexico and Kansas. Kentucky, meanwhile, edged Wichita State, 78-76, to end the Shockers’ perfect season. The Wildcats eventually reached the NCAA title game, falling to Connecticut in the championship. The Edward Jones Dome (right) has been the site for seven of the past eight NCAA men’s basketball tournament events in St. Louis, including a 1999 Regional, a 2002 1st/2nd Round, a 2004 Regional, the 2005 Final Four, a 2007 Regional, a 2010 Regional, and a 2012 Regional.
2012 -- In the Midwest Regional final, Kansas scored the last 12 points to win, 80-67, while the top-seeded Tar Heels missed their final nine shots and 14 of their last 16 attempts -- after shooting 63.6 percent in the first half.

Missouri Valley Conference Recognizes MVC Men’s Basketball ‘50 Greatest’ Players As a part of the Missouri Valley Conference Centennial Celebration in 2006-07, The Valley named all-centennial teams for each of the Valley’s sponsored sports. The list of Top 50 men’s basketball players and Top 10 coaches was determined through an on-line fan vote (www.mvc100.org), in-arena ballots and a centennial committee. A total of 7,871 votes were cast for men’s basketball. Included in the list are former and current NBA greats, members of the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame, and Valley Hall of Famers. A total of 100 former Valley greats (80 players and 20 coaches) were on the original ballot, but many more who made significant contributions to the game of basketball either while in the Missouri Valley Conference or in their post-collegiate careers were added as write-ins. Popular write-in votes included Illinois State’s Doug Collins, Evansville’s Jerry Sloan, and Southern Illinois’ Walt Frazier. (Each has his number retired at his respective school, but none played while their schools were members of the Missouri Valley Conference.)

The Larry Bird Trophy is given annually to the MVC’s top performing basketball male student-athlete. The recipient is selected by a voting panel consisting of media, coaches and sports information directors from each institution. The pride of French Lick, Ind., Bird was the national college Player of the Year in 1979 while leading the Sycamores to a 33-1 record and the championship game of the NCAA Tournament. A two-time consensus first-team All-American and twice MVC Player of the Year, he finished his career with 2,850 points and 1,247 rebounds. He went on to earn three NBA Most Valuable Player awards and lead the Boston Celtics to three NBA titles. In 1996, he was tabbed one of the 50 Greatest Players in NBA History. He is a charter member of the MVC Hall of Fame.

BOOKER WOODFOX CREIGHTON
Miller helped Wichita State win its first regularseason title in 23 years to become the first Shocker since 1985 to earn Valley Player of the Year plaudits (Xavier McDaniel). Miller averaged 13.1 points and 6.6 rebounds for the Shockers -both among the Top 10 in the league.
After helping the Salukis to their highest ever national ranking and a regular-season title Tatum earned the Larry Bird Trophy, in what is believed to be the closest vote in league history as a total of five points separated the top three vote getters.
Perhaps the most improbable MVC Larry Bird Trophy recipient in league history, Emmenecker entered the season with 64 career assists and 57 total points in his three previous seasons, but set a Drake single-season record with 213 assists. The Bulldogs went 28-5 and swept the regularseason and tourney titles.
Woodfox helped Creighton to its first regular-season crown since 2002 and led the league in threepoint accuracy (47.6) and three-pointers made (91). His 15.8 scoring average led Creighton and ranks second in The Valley.

VanVleet led the Shockers to a perfect 31-0 regular season and after a 3-0 MVC Tournament, WSU became the first team in history to enter the NCAA Tournament 34-0. VanVleet ended the year with a league-leading 193 assists and a 4.02 assist:turnover ratio, which was No. 4 nationally.
Tuttle became just the 10th player in MVC history to reach 1,700 career points and 900 career rebounds, as he finished with 1,747 points and 917 caroms. He was one of three MVC players to earn All-America honors in 2014-15 and led UNI in scoring, rebounding, blocks and assists.

MVC All-Sports Award History WICHITA STATE TAKES ALL-SPORTS TROPHY Wichita State was the 2014-15 MVC All-Sports Champion. It marked the third-straight season the Shockers claimed the league’s All-Sports crown. In addition, the title was the ninth in the past 12 years for Wichita State, which has a league best 21 all-time. Wichita State finished first or second in nine of the 15 sports it sponsors and claimed league championships in six sports (women’s basketball, men’s basketball, women’s outdoor track & field, men’s golf, women’s golf, and women’s tennis). Wichita State’s aggregate score last year (2.30) was second-best all-time, trailing only its MVC record of 2.13 in 2013-14. Counting Wichita State in 2014-15, a school has had an aggregate point total better than 3.0 (average finish of each sponsored sport) 10 times since 1993-94. Before Wichita State’s back-to-back record-setting performances, Illinois State’s 2.47 score in 1996-97 was the previous league standard. The All-Sports Trophy is based on a school’s average finish in each of the sponsored championships by the Missouri Valley Conference. Teams are awarded one point for first, two for second, three for third, etc., and the total accumulated points are divided by the number of sports in which a particular school competes. Finishes in baseball, basketball, soccer, softball, tennis and volleyball are based on regularseason competition. All other sports are determined by finish at the championship tournament or championship meet.
DRAKE EARNS LEAGUE’S ALL-ACADEMIC AWARD Drake University earned the 2014-15 MVC All-Academic Award. The award is given to the institution that finishes with the highest grade point average among its student-athletes that participate in The Valley. It marks the second-straight season that Drake has earned the honor. Bradley University finished second, and the University of Evansville was third.
