2016-17 MBB Postseason Media Guide

ABOUT THE WARRIORS BACK TO BRANSON Following a one year hiatus, the Midland University Warriors are returning to the NAIA DII Men’s Basketball National Championship. This marks the Warriors’ fifth overall appearance at the national tournament and the fourth in the past five years. Midland made three straight trips to nationals from 2013-15, reaching the National Championship Game in 2014. The Warriors’ first appearance at nationals in 2000 was under the intuition’s previous moniker, Midland Lutheran College.

ONE & DONE Returning to the national tournament for the third consecutive season in 2015 with the GPAC postseason title in toe, Midland had an abrupt end to its season.

The Warriors saw their 12-point second half lead to Southern Oregon evaporate, only to tie the game in dramatic fashion with 7.6 seconds left on the clock. SOU proceeded to drive the length of the court in the final seconds to stun the Warriors with a game-winning shot for a 73-71 victory.

UPSTART WARRIORS Upon reaching the national tournament for just the second time in school history, and the first time in 13 years, the 2013 Warriors made their presence felt.

Midland upset a pair of higher-seeded opponents to reach the Elite 8 for the first time in program history. The Warriors then took No. 1-ranked, and eventual national runner-up, William Penn to the brink before a buzzerbeater ended Midland’s Cinderella run.

2013-14 NATIONAL RUNNER-UP RUNNER-UP FINISH Firmly entrenched in the national conversation the following season, Midland returned to national tournament in 2014 having shed the underdog tag and produced the best finish in program history. The Warriors advanced to the Final 4 with an average win margin of just five points in their first three games before making a huge statement. Midland proceeded to blow out Robert Morris, 100-61, to advance to the National Championship Game. The Warriors ultimately fell in the championship to Indiana Wesleyan, 78-68.

POWER CONFERENCE The 2016-17 season marked the first time in the 17year history of the GPAC that six men’s basketball teams won at least 20 wins in their overall record. That list includes: Midland, Briar Cliff University, Concordia University, Dakota Wesleyan University, Morningside College and Northwestern College. That group owned a combined 58-11 record during the regular season in non-conference games. All six of those teams also won at least 10 GPAC games this season, and four have qualified for the national tournament. The GPAC and Cascade Collegiate Conference (CCC) each have four teams in the Final Poll with the CCC having five teams represented at nationals.

LEADERS OF THE ‘PAC Midland’s three-headed monster of McKinley, Overton and Starkel were each honored once this season as the GPAC Men’s Basketball Player of the Week. Overton and Starkel are both 2017 All-GPAC First Team honorees, while McKinley was named to the Second Team. All three players rank inside the Top 13 in scoring in the conference this year. This season marks Starkel’s third First Team nod while he was named to the All-GPAC Second Team as a freshman in 2013-14.

ABOUT THE WARRIORS THREE’S COMPANY Midland’s offense success as of late has hinged on the Warriors’ three-point shooting. The long-range accuracy has had a two-fold affect; helping to free up center Alex Starkel to single coverage in the paint. Midland shot 38.4 percent from downtown over the course of the season but since the calendar turned to 2017, the Warriors have shot 44.3 percent from beyond the arc. Entering nationals Midland is shooting 50.4 percent from threepoint land over its last five games. While the shooting percentage in overall wins and losses is negligible this season, the key stat has been in the volume. MU is 8-2 this year when knocking down nine or more triples and is 13-7 when hitting eight or fewer. Diamontae McKinley enters nationals ranked fourth in the NAIA with a Midland single-season record of 110 three-pointers made. Chase Parsons leads the Warriors by shooting 43 percent from downtown.

ALEX STARKEL ELITE COMPANY Norfolk, Nebraska native Alex Starkel enters the national tournament ranked third on the Warriors’ all-time scoring list with 1,871 points. Only two players sit ahead of the 2015 Second Team All-American on Midland’s alltime chart: Warrior Hall of Famers Adam Baker (2,019 points, 1997-01) and Mark Williams (2,050, 1985-89).

SENIOR SENDOFF The Warriors will graduate six seniors from their 201617 national tournament roster: Diamontae McKinley, Damon Overton, Tyler Ripperger, Jordan Scheil, Clay Shepard and Alex Starkel. The latter four players on that list are making their fourth NAIA DII Naitonal Championship appearance with Midland and own a combined record of 93-37 (.715 winning percentage).

CENTURY CLUB The trio of McKinley, Overton and Starkel have each scored over 1,000 points in their respective collegiate careers. McKinley scored a career-best 509 points during his 2014-15 NAIA All-American Honorable Mention campaign at Ashford, and racked up a combined 431 points in two seasons at Iowa Lakes Community College. Overton accumulated 1,013 points during his three-year career at Ashford and has netted a careerhigh 480 points with the Warriors this season. Starkel, a red-shirt transfer from the University of NebraskaKearney, scored a career-best 504 points during his 2014-15 All-American sophomore season.

ABOUT THE WARRIORS LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON The son of Midland’s all-time leading scorer, Mark Williams, is current Warrior freshman Ryan Williams.

The Fremont, Nebraska native has averaged 6.2 point per game while appearing in 20 contests. The rookie is shooting 39.7 percent from downtown and scored a career-best 22 points last month on a 6-15 effort from beyond the arc.

MIDLAND’S SAINTS Senior guards Diamontae McKinley and Damon Overton, along with junior forward Nick Wood, all transferred to Midland this season from Ashford University. The trio previously played for the Ashford Saints under current MU head coach Oliver Drake. Coach Drake guided the Saints to three National Tournament appearances at Ashford in his five-year tenure. The 2017 National Championship marks Drake’s fourth total tournament appearance in his seven years as an NAIA head coach.

SPREADING HIS WINGS Former Midland All-American James Parrot (2013) recently signed with the Harlem Globetrotters. He is a member of the Globetrotters’ Blue team and plays under the moniker of “Torch”. Parrot, one of just six AllAmericans in Warrior history, is one of just three to be named to the First Team. Other Midland Men’s Basketball All-Americans include: Alex Starkel (2015, 2nd Team), Adam Baker (2001, 1st), Chris Allen (1998, 1st), Alan Pokorski (1997, 2nd) and Scott Flynn (1990, 3rd).

Midland University’s Growing Campus

Midland University is Nebraska’s fastest growing college. With Nebraska’s largest athletic department, hundreds of opportunities in the performing arts and a cozy campus where you can learn and live, it’s no wonder more students are calling Midland home than ever.

Our History

Founded in 1883, Midland University is the product of college and church mergers. Midland College was established in Atchison, Kansas, by the General Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church on September 15, 1887. The name Midland College was selected because of its central location in the United States.

In 1919, the college moved to Fremont, Nebraska. The Fremont property had previously been called Fremont Normal School and Business College. In 1962, Midland merged with Luther Junior College (founded in Wahoo, Nebraska, in 1883). Midland College then became Midland Lutheran College, and finally, in 2010, Midland Lutheran College became Midland University.

Midland University’s history is rooted in multiple institutions, each of which has left its mark on the school and on its mascot.

Midland College was first located in Atchison, Kansas, where it was founded

by German and Swedish immigrants. The first mascot they selected was the “Tigers,” along with the official colors orange and black. The college was relocated to Fremont in 1919, and the mascot was changed to the “Warriors” in recognition of a theme tied more closely to the history of the founders.

Luther College later merged with Midland College in 1962 to create Midland Lutheran College. The Luther College “Vikings” sported blue as their school color prior to the merge.

For many years, the Warrior mascot was personified through imagery of a Native American Warrior. This was recognized to be a misfit, however, as Midland’s past was actually routed in European ancestry, and just the name “Warriors” was used without any additional icon.

Feeling the absence of a living, breathing figure that appropriately represented the school on and off the field, various warrior types were used in short spurts ranging from “Melvin the Midland Monster” from the early 1990’s to Leonidas, a more recent Spartan Warrior.

In 2010, amid Midland Lutheran College’s refounding as Midland University, a new icon was created to reflect Midland’s Nordic history, incorporating both the Luther College Viking blue and the Midland Warrior orange and black. This new Nordic Warrior provides a connection to Midland’s heritage while offering a modern symbol of the strength and determination Midland University student-athletes display as Warriors.

Throughout Midland University’s proud history, many changes have taken place. Whether you are connected to Midland from the past, the present, or in the years to come, one thing remains the same. The heart of a Warrior is present in all who call Midland their own.

GREAT PLAINS

ATHLETIC CONFERENCE The Great Plains Athletic Conference (GPAC) is an affiliated conference of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), consisting of 11 private, faith-based colleges and universities in Nebraska, Iowa and South Dakota. Originally founded in 1969 as the Nebraska Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (NIAC), the league retains four of the six charter members Concordia, Doane, Hastings, and Midland.

In 1992, the NIAC added Northwestern and became the NebraskaIowa Athletic Conference. Eight years later, Dakota Wesleyan, Dordt, Mount Marty and Sioux Falls joined the conference which became the Great Plains Athletic Conference (GPAC) in 2000-2001.

Briar Cliff entered the league in 2002-2003 and Morningside joined starting with the 2003-2004 school year. Both schools are in Sioux City, Iowa.

In the summer of 2010 Dana College ceased operations (Member from 1969-2010) and in 2011 The University of Sioux Falls discontinued membership in the GPAC (Member from 2000-2011). Nebraska Wesleyan discontinued membership in 2016 (Member from 1969-2016).

In 2015 the GPAC added College of Saint Mary in Omaha, Nebraska, as a member.

The University of Jamestown in Jamestown, North Dakota, will join the GPAC in 2018-19 as a new member. Jamestown will be an affiliate member for 2017-18 in select sports.

The GPAC sponsors 19 intercollegiate sports - nine for women, ten for men, and cheer & dance as a co-ed offering - and awards an All-Sports Trophy based on the final league standings and conference meet results at the end of each school year. Competitive Cheer and Dance is offered in the GPAC as an invitational sport (since 2013-2014).

Since the 2005-2006 school year the GPAC has awarded the Christopherson All-Academic Award. The award is a traveling trophy to

be presented annually to the GPAC institution with the best academic performance by its student-athletes in all sports. The award is named in honor of Dr. Myrvin Christopherson, former President of Dana College.

Christopherson had served as the first chair of the GPAC Council of Presidents. Concordia is the most recent winner of the Christopherson AllAcademic Award.

Through our first 16 years as a conference the GPAC has 23 NAIA team National Champions.

First and foremost, the GPAC remains committed to Academic and Athletic Excellence! Last year 641 student-athletes from the conference earned Daktronics-NAIA Scholar-Athlete honors. In addition, 164 teams in the GPAC were honored as NAIA Scholar-teams.

Corey Westra of Sioux City, Iowa, is the GPAC Commissioner and Lucas Mohrman of Columbus, Nebraska, is the GPAC Assistant Commissioner for Sports Information.

COACHES

OliverDrake SECOND SEASON

Oliver Drake was announced as the Warrior men’s basketball head coach on August 24, 2015 after spending the previous five years at Ashford University (Iowa). With Coach Drake at the helm, the Ashford Saints recorded the top five seasons in Ashford history and appeared in the NAIA DII National Championship Tournament three times. Ashford advanced to the Round of 16 in 2015.

Drake, the 2013-14 Association of Independent Institutions (A.I.I.) Coach of the Year, posted a 108-55 overall record in his five seasons at Ashford University. The Saints made just their second-ever National Tournament appearance under Drake in 2011 after winning the MCC postseason tournament championship.

Ashford was ranked in the NAIA Top 25 at least once in each of Drake’s five seasons, and spent every week ranked during the 2013-14 campaign. Under Drake’s leadership,

Ashford set school records for regular season wins, overall wins, conference wins and regular season win streak.

In addition to success on the court, Drake’s tenure at Ashford was noteworthy for academic gains among student-athletes as his teams claimed three NAIA Scholar Team Awards and two NABC Team Academic Excellence Awards. As a coach who saw 100% of his program’s seniors graduate, Drake’s approach matches Midland University’s commitment to ensuring students are supported and guided toward on-time graduation.

With his combined years at Ashford and Midland, Coach Drake has posted six 20-win seasons and has led teams to the National Tournament in four of seven seasons.

Drake graduated from the University of WisconsinEau Claire with his bachelor’s before earning a Master’s degree in Education from Viterbo University.

JoshPickens SECOND SEASON

Josh Pickens was named the Warriors’ new assistant coach, alongside head coach Oliver Drake, prior to the 201516 season.

Pickens, a native of Rockford, Illinois, began his collegiate playing career at Rock Valley Junior College before transferring to Ashford University for his junior season. At Rock Valley he was a two-time First Team All-Conference selection. Following a two-year career at Ashford, where he was named Team MVP as a senior, Pickens joined the coaching staff as a graduate assistant in the 2010-11 season.

While on staff at Ashford, Pickens helped recruit two All-Americans and numerous All-Conference selections as the Saints made the NAIA DII National Championship Tournament three times, advancing to the Round of 16 in 2015. He was a member of the coaching staff for all five of the years that Coach Drake was at the helm as Ashford posted a combined 108-55 record.

Pickens earned his bachelor’s degree in December of 2009 from Ashford before obtaining his Master’s in Education and Public Policy while working as a graduate assistant.

ThadeusPerry SECOND SEASON

Thadeus Perry joined the Midland coaching staff in the 2015-16 season. Originally from Rockford, Illinois, he graduated from Rockford Jefferson High School before beginning his collegiate basketball career.

Perry began his college career playing NCJAA Division 1 basketball at Williston State College for two years. As a freshman, he helped lead the team to 25-7 record conference and region championship. As a sophomore in 2010-2011, Williston State went 24-9 en route to another region title.

He went on to attend Bellevue University as a

junior where the Bruins won a conference championship and advanced to the “Sweet 16” of the NAIA DII National Tournament. Perry then transferred to Ashford University as a senior in 2013-14 under current Midland head coach Oliver Drake. The Saints also made an appearance in the NAIA National Tournament that season.

Last season Perry joined Drake’s staff at Ashford while finishing his bachelor’s degree in English and Communication, and is currently working towards completing his Master’s while coaching at Midland University.
