Kretchman now has 560 career assists. For the first time in the school’s history Kretchman has posted backto-back seasons with at least 200 assists. In MSUM’s loss to Northern State he became the first MSUM player to reach 500 assists. Kretchman is also seventh all-time in scoring with 1,608 points and is now second in career three-point field goals made with 266. The senior is also leading the NSIC this season in three-point field goals made, averaging 3.0 per game. Coad Hits 8th Double-Double Junior guard Travaun Coad hit his eighth double-double of the season against Upper Iowa, Feb. 3 with 14 points and 12 rebounds. The junior guard became the first Dragon to earn a double-double in four or more consecutive games since Alex Novak (Feb. 16-27, 2013) when he had five in a row Jan. 5-19.

The junior is averaging 4.5 rebound per game and also holds a team-best in blocks with 15. Park leads the Dragons in field goal percentage with .400 (143-of-250), ranking tenth in the NSIC.

The Dragons starting lineup includes sophomores Johnny Beeninga and Matt Anderson. Beeninga scored a careerhigh 29 points in the Dragons' win over Minnesota Duluth last weekend. He is second on the team, averaging 14.6 points per game and adds 59 assists. Anderson is averaging 5.6 points and 3.2 rebounds per game, including a season-high of nine rebounds at Concordia-St. Paul. He also adds six blocks and four steals.

CHAD WALTHALL
8TH SEASON
Record at MSUM: 172-78
In just seven seasons as head coach of the Minnesota State University Moorhead men’s basketball program, Chad Walthall has continued to enhance his reputation as a builder of programs. He has the Dragons recognized as one of the premiere programs in the country, and is continuing to garner national attention. The height of MSUM’s national attention came at the CollegeInsider.com Awards Banquet in April 2015, where Walthall was awarded with the Clarence “Big House” Gaines National Coach of the Year Award. The honor is given annually to the top Division II coach in the country. In addition, Walthall was also recognized as Central Region Coach of the Year and as the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference Coach of the Year. Posting a 89-16 record in the past three seasons, including a 58-8 record in conference play, MSUM is poised to continue its success in the future under Walthall. The Dragons’ seven-year run under Walthall has seen MSUM produce a 165-57 record, the most wins in any seven-year period in school history. In the five years before Walthall was hired, the Dragons earned a record of 63-74. Under Coach Walthall, the Dragons are an outstanding 111-43 in NSIC play. MSUM has reached 20 wins five times during Walthall’s tenure, including earning 30 or more wins in back-to-back seasons (2014-16). Before Walthall’s arrival, the last 20-win season at MSUM was 1981-82. In Walthall’s 14 seasons as a head coach, he has remarkably led every team to a winning season in conference play. In 2016-17, an experienced group of upperclassmen posted a 24-6 record, winning the NSIC Regular Season Championship for the second time in the last three years, and the NSIC North Division title for the fourth consecutive season. MSUM made its third consecutive NCAA Tournament, marking four out of six years under the direction of Walthall. For the second consecutive season, the Dragons posted a 19-3 mark in NSIC play.

MSUM’s postseason run included a trip to the NSIC Tournament Championship game and another NCAA Tournament appearance, the third in five years under Walthall. The Dragons posted a 19-3 conference record and recorded a school record of 16 straight victories during the season. Under Coach Walthall, MSUM has been ranked in the National Association of Basketball Coaches Poll for 31 straight weeks, including 24 weeks spent in the top 10 of the poll.
