THOMAS ASSEMBLY CENTER GAME DAY
Standing tall and serving as a landmark in Ruston, the Thomas Assembly Center is entering its 43rd season of Louisiana Tech basketball for the 2024-25 year.
Since its unveiling in 1982, numerous Bulldog basketball teams have seen success from Andy Russo’s early-80’s Dunkin’ Dogs all the way to the current Dunkin’ Dogs head coach Talvin Hester.

Each was a superstar in his own time in a Bulldog uniform and under the lights of the Thomas Assembly Center.
THE BULLDOGS’ home record in the Thomas Assembly Center is an astounding 446-115 for a winning percentage of 79.5. The team is a remarkable 172-23 in the TAC since February of 2012. Included in that was the second longest home winning streak in program history (39 straight).

SYNOPSIS
Louisiana Tech enjoyed the second-best overall record in the school’s cage history to date during the 1966-67 campaign as the Bulldogs recorded an impressive 20-8 record. Only the 21-4 record of 1958-59 exceeded the showing.
The Bulldogs won the Gulf States Conference with an 11-1 mark and represented the league in the NCAA College Division Midwest Regional Tournament, losing to Illinois State, 89-66.
Also included in the 20-8 worksheet were victories over major college foes, Texas A&M (53-50) and Centenary (112-93). LA Tech averaged 80.6 points per game while allowing the opposition 77.5 per contest.

SYNOPSIS
Between opening day, Dec. 1, and the final whistle, March 13, Louisiana Tech gave its basketball fans the school’s most electrifying campaign in over five decades of participation in the sport. First, there was the No. 1 ranking nationally on the Associated Press Top 20 poll during January, the first such honor ever for a Tech athletic team.
And, the first trip to California by any Bulldog athletic squad occurred as LA Tech visited San Diego, Santa Barbara and Los Angeles. There was time for seeing the sights, too, including a Laker game at the Forum, Disnleyland, a tour of historic San Diego harbor and a visit to the famed San Diego Zoo.
Then, there was the 23-5 record, a second straight conference championship, a berth in the NCAA Regional Tournament and finally, a season-ending 19-point victory over LSU New Orleans who was ranked No. 1 in the nation at that time.

Coming off a 19-9 campaign, the Bulldogs were looking to knock off Lamar, the SLC’s defending champions. Under Andy Russo, LA Tech finished the regular season, 22-6, second in the conference behind the Cardinals.
However, in a thrilling SLC final in Beaumont, Texas, the Bulldogs upset Lamar, 6865, behind Willie Simmons’ 17 points, ending the Cardinals’ 80-game home court winning streak, which was then the nations longest.
The win vaulted LA Tech into its first-ever NCAA Division I Tournament, and the Bulldogs took advantage of the honor by polishing off Fresno State, 66-56, in first round action. Houston ended the Bulldogs season at 26-7 with a 77-69 win, but not before LA Tech turned some heads on the national level.

SYNOPSIS
Simply said, this was the greatest season in LA Tech basketball. The Bulldogs accomplished a multitude of firsts on the way to their 29-3 record and drew a great deal of media attention.
It started with 10 straight wins and one of those came over 6th ranked Louisville, earning LA Tech its own spot in the Top 20 for the first time ever in Division I. Included in the early win streak were tournament titles at the Wendy’s Classic in Bowling Green, Kentucky and the Marshall Invitational in Huntington, West Virginia.
Although Oklahoma ended the streak at the All-College Tournament just before Christmas, the Bulldogs went on to bulldoze its way to an 11-1 conference record to win the championship and then won a spot in the NCAA playoffs by taking the league tournament.
LA Tech proceeded to whip Pittsburgh and Ohio State in the sub-regional before losing, 86-84, to Oklahoma in overtime in the Midwest Regional in Dallas. When it finally ended, the Bulldogs were ranked eighth nationally and had become one of the Cinderella teams of the season.

SYNOPSIS
Picked by no one to win the Southland, the Bulldogs breezed to a 9-1 SLC mark and their second season title in three years.
On the road early, LA Tech showed sparks of brilliance, playing top-ranked UNLV within four points and capturing the Far West Classic with wins over three Pac-10 schools. The Bulldogs also reeled off nine straight midseason wins to highlight the campaign.
An exuberant Tommy Joe Eagles was doused with a water bucket after whipping Arkansas State at home in the SLC finals, and the Dogs packed up for their third NCAA postseason appearance in four years.
LA Tech was seeded 14th in the Midwest Regional and lost to DePaul, 76-62, in Chicago’s Rosemont Horizon in the opening round. Still, the team posted a 22-8 record, its fourth consecutive 20-win season and continued its postseason tradition.

SYNOPSIS
Picked by a majority of polls to win the American South Conference for the second time in as many years of the league’s existence, Louisiana Tech seemed headed for just that until unexpected twists and turns of the track took them on a bypass.
The Bulldogs ran into the unheralded New Orleans Privateers to finish third behind UNO and Arkansas State, but when the league competition ended, LA Tech was declared “Best of Show.”
The roller coaster ride peaked at the game that had been talked about for months. It was to take place in Baton Rouge; and it was against LSU. The Tigers had not played the Bulldogs for 40 years, and Tiger fans found out why as Tech pulled out a 111-109 victory.
LA Tech came into the final stretch peaking again as they ran through the ASC tournament in Lafayette. Just when the Bulldogs thought they might be banished to the kiddie rides in the NIT, the NCAA invited them to the monster roller coaster – the NCAA Tournament – where they shocked LaSalle in the first round before having their season come to end versus Oklahoma.

SYNOPSIS
When it was all said and done, Louisiana Tech’s 1990-91 season was typical for the Bulldogs just like the past eight seasons which LA Tech has rung up at least 20 wins per year while gaining five NCAA berths and three NIT invitations.
Looking for highlights of Louisiana Tech’s season was an easy job. Most of them were clumped together and the real marquee type achievements happened in the final 11 regular season games plus three contests in the America south Conference tournament which Tech dominated.
The Bulldogs went 8-3 to close out regular season play and that included four straight league victories heading into the league tournament. LA Tech won those final four games by an average of 20.3 points per game.
At the ASC Tournament, P.J. Brown simply took over as Tech beat Central Florida, Arkansas State and New Orleans in the championship game. The team went on to the NCAA Tournament where they lost, 71-65, to Wake Forest in the Southeast Regional first round game in Atlanta.

TALVIN HESTER
HEAD COACH
@CoachTHester
Talvin Hester heads into year three as the head coach of the Louisiana Tech men’s basketball program.
The 19th head coach in program history was named NABC District 11 Coach of the Year and a Ben Jobe Award finalist after guiding LA Tech to a 2210 overall record in his second season at the helm, a 7-win improvement from year one with the Bulldogs.
LA Tech registered a 12-4 CUSA record, finishing second in the league. The Bulldogs went 8-7 in road games, including a 6-2 mark in league contests away from home which was the best winning percentage in such games since 2013.
They ranked as the top CUSA team in both NET rankings and KenPom while sporting one of the best defenses in the country. The Bulldogs ranked seventh in the nation in field goal percentage defense, allowing teams to shoot just 39.1 percent (lowest in program history since the 1957-58 season). LA Tech held 20 teams under 40 percent shooting this season, tied for the third most in the country. They also ranked 16th in the nation in scoring defense, holding their opponents to 64.5 points per game.
Among the players Hester helped develop were Isaiah Crawford who was voted CUSA Player of the Year and CUSA Defensive Player of the Year as well as Daniel Batcho who was selected as the CUSA Newcomer of the Year. Crawford, who is now with the Sacramento Kings organization, and Batcho were joined by Tahlik Chavez and Sean Newman Jr. as All-Conference honorees, the most in program history since 1985.
Hester led LA Tech to a 15-win season in his first season as head coach, picking up his first ever victory in the season opener against Mississippi College as well as claiming the title of the Samford MTE with wins over Alabama A&M, Tennessee-Southern, and host Samford.
Hester brought 20 years of coaching experience back to Ruston, a place he spent three seasons (2018-21) as an assistant coach with the Bulldogs. He departed for Texas Tech, spending one season as an assistant coach where he helped the third-seeded Red Raiders reach the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament.
While in Lubbock, he worked under Associated Press Big 12 Coach of the Year Mark Adams. Texas Tech put together a 27-win season including victories over Montana State and Notre Dame to help the program make its fifth Sweet 16 appearance in program history.
TTU, which had five All-Big 12 selections, was ranked as high as No. 9 in the country and reached the Big 12 championship final for just the second time in program history. The Red Raiders had the No. 1 ranked defense in the country (per Kenpom.com) while limiting opponents to only 60.2 points per game, holding teams to 38.2 percent shooting and forcing 15.9 turnovers per contest.
During his three successful years at LA Tech under Eric Konkol, Hester helped the Bulldogs register three winning seasons of 20-plus victories. The 2020-21 season saw the ‘Dogs register a 24-8 overall record while claiming a CUSA West Division title and a third place finish in the National Invitation Tournament. The team received an at-large berth to play in the NIT for the first time since 2015 and became just the second team in program history to make the Final Four.
LA Tech, which had the highest-rated defense in CUSA ranking top 30 in the country in field goal percentage defense and three-point field goal percentage defense, upset Ole Miss in the first round, defeated league foe WKU in the quarterfinals and won a 76-74 thriller over No. 1 overall seed Colorado State in the Final Four consolation game.
In his second season in 2019-20, the Bulldogs registered a 22-8 overall record during the regular slate, but the team did not have a chance at postseason play with the CUSA and NCAA/NIT Tournaments being canceled due to the public health threat of COVID-19. The 22 wins ended up being the most victories of any
CUSA team and of any Louisiana Division I team. The Bulldogs also recorded a 13-5 league record, finishing in a tie for second place.
In his first year with the ‘Dogs, Hester helped the team to 20 victories. Eight of the 20 victories came against teams who also produced 20-win seasons, the most in program history. One of those came in the season opener at Wichita State as the Bulldogs shocked the Shockers, handing them only their fourth loss in their last 76 games at home.
Along with the four Bulldogs who earned All-CUSA honors in 2023-24, Hester has also coached All-CUSA selections DaQuan Bracey (First Team), Kenneth Lofton Jr. (Third Team and CUSA Freshman of the Year), Cobe Williams (Honorable Mention), and Keaston Willis (Honorable Mention) as well as Jordan Crawford who was chosen to the CUSA All-Freshman Team for the 2022-23 season. Lofton is in his third season in the NBA, currently playing for the Chicago Bulls organization.
Along with stops at Texas Tech and LA Tech, Hester spent the majority of his coaching career in the south, especially in the Lone Star State. He spent time at Oral Roberts, Houston, Texas State, Stephen F. Austin, San Jose State, Prairie View A&M, Texas College, Texas Wesleyan and North Lake College during his career.
Hester coached at Oral Roberts (2017-18) with head coach Paul Mills where Hester was instrumental in the recruitment of Kevin Obanor who would help lead the team to the 2021 Sweet 16.
He also worked for Kelvin Sampson at Houston from 2014-17, helping turnaround the Cougars program which reached the 2020 Final Four. In his first season at UH, the Cougars recorded a nine-win improvement from the previous season, earning 22 victories for the first time in eight years. The Cougars finished second in the American Athletic Conference and earned an NIT appearance, which was their first postseason action since 2013.
In his second season as an UH assistant, the program boasted a 21-win season in 2016-17, a third-place finish in the AAC and another trip to the NIT. While at Houston, Hester coached four All-AAC selections including Rob Gray and Damyean Dotson who became the first duo in the program’s history to be selected first team in the same season since 1990.
Hester spent one season as an assistant coach at Texas State (2013-14) and Stephen F. Austin (2012-13). While with the Lumberjacks, the team posted a 27-5 overall record and claimed the Southland Conference regular season title. His first coaching experience outside the Lone Star State came at San Jose State from 2010-12. In his first year with the Spartans, they earned the program’s first postseason bid since 1996 (CBI) and a 17-16, the most wins since the 1980-81 season.
He spent five seasons at Prairie View A&M (2005-10) where he was promoted to associate head coach. He helped the Panthers to winning records in both the 2008-09 and 2009-10 season, the first time the program registered back-to-back winning seasons in decades.
Hester began his coaching career in 2002 at North Lake College in Irving, Texas before he spent one year at his alma mater Texas Wesleyan and one at Texas College. His coaching resume also includes a stop with the Texas Rim Rockers of the United States Basketball League as an assistant coaching intern and the Dallas Mustangs AAU team for one season. He was an assistant coach at Texas College in Tyler, Texas for the 2004-05 season before going to Prairie View A&M.
As a student-athlete, Hester played at Dallas Christian College during the 1996-97 season. He received his bachelor’s degree in interdisciplinary studies from Texas Wesleyan in 2003.
Hester is married to the former Jamieka Jackson and they are the parents of a daughter, Rhyan.
WINSTON HINES
Winston Hines enters his third season as a member of the Louisiana Tech men’s basketball coaching staff, serving as assistant coach.
The 15-year coaching veteran helped LA Tech this past season to a 2210 overall record and a 12-4 CUSA record, finishing second in the league. The Bulldogs went 8-7 in road games, including a 6-2 mark in league contests away from home which was the best winning percentage in such games since 2013. They ranked as the top CUSA team in both NET rankings and KenPom while sporting one of the best defenses in the country.

While with the Tigers, Hines helped the program to four topfour finishes in the Southwestern Athletic Conference including their first SWAC regular season title in 30 years. In his first season at GSU in 2017-18, he helped engineer a rebirth for the Tigers program as they recorded a 17-14 overall record and a 13-5 mark in SWAC play to deliver an outright SWAC title.
The following season, the Tigers made more history by appearing on the CollegeInsider.com Tournament, their first postseason appearance since 1980. The 2019-20 season mark the third straight year of reaching 17 victories with 11 of those wins coming in conference against SWAC opponents.

Prior to coaching in Grambling, Hines spent one season as the associate head coach at Stillman College during the 2016-17 season. In his lone season with the Lady Tigers, the team compiled a 19-4 record after totaling just 24 wins in the previous three seasons combined.
This opportunity came after spending eight seasons with the men’s program at Stillman College as an assistant coach where he helped the Tigers receive their first ever Top 25 ranking in the NCAA Division II polls.
During the 2010-11 season, the program produced a record of 24-8 and advanced to the 2011 NCAA South Regional Championship game. His last season with the program was the best as the Tigers registered a 27-6 overall record and a 20-1 league mark in route to claiming the 2016 SIAC regular season and tournament title while also advancing to the second round of the NCAA national tournament.
While at Stillman College, he helped coach several all-conference players including Rodnerius Lewis who was SIAC Player of the Year and a BOXTOROW HBCU All-American. Hines graduated from Stillman with Honors in 2008 with a degree in Health and Physical Education. He was a vital piece on the 2005-06 team that won the first SIAC Tournament championship in school history.
Prior to Stillman, he played one season at Pensacola Junior College, where he received his Associates Degree in General Studies. He prepped at Woodham High School in Pensacola where he was a four-year starter on the varsity team.
Hines has two sons, Dontreal and DeKaylen.
Darshawn McClellan enters his third season as an assistant coach on Talvin Hester’s coaching staff at Louisiana Tech.
This past season, he helped LA Tech register a 22-10 overall record and a 12-4 CUSA record, finishing second in the league. The Bulldogs went 8-7 in road games, including a 6-2 mark in league contests away from home which was the best winning percentage in such games since 2013.
They ranked as the top CUSA team in both NET rankings and KenPom while sporting one of the best defenses in the country. The Bulldogs ranked seventh in the nation in field goal percentage defense, allowing teams to shoot just 39.1 percent (lowest in program history since the 1957-58 season). LA Tech held 20 teams under 40 percent shooting this season, tied for the third most in the country. They also ranked 16th in the nation in scoring defense, holding their opponents to 64.5 points per game.
Among the players McClellan helped develop were Isaiah Crawford who was voted CUSA Player of the Year and CUSA Defensive Player of the Year as well as Daniel Batcho who was selected as the CUSA Newcomer of the Year. Crawford and Batcho were joined by Tahlik Chavez and Sean Newman Jr. as All-Conference honorees, the most in program history since 1985.

As Louisiana Tech Athletics ventures deeper into the new millennium, the Bulldog basketball program can look back to its humble beginnings, to the successes of today and the many memories in between. The Louisiana Tech Bulldog basketball team won its first game in 1926 after its application was granted to join the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (SIAA), the first organized college athletics in the south. The team collected the school’s 1,000th victory during the 2000-01 season and is fast approaching 1,500 total victories. LA Tech has gathered 28 20-win seasons, 25 conference/division championships, five NCAA Division I appearances and 10 NIT appearances. The program has produced 68 all-conference players, nine conference Players of the Year and 16 conference Coaches of the Year.
1926-1930
Record: 61-50 (.550)
Coaches: R.C. Kenny (1926); Robert S. Wynn (1926-30)
Conference Affiliation (Years)/Titles: Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (1926-30)/1926-27, 1927-28)
Louisiana Tech began its collegiate basketball history during the 1925-26 season under the direction of the school’s first basketball coach R. C. Kenny. Kenny, who was the football coach for the 1925 season, guided the Bulldogs during the inaugural season.
The Bulldogs dropped their first two collegiate contests to Centenary before picking up the school’s first win with a victory over Louisiana College. Although some of the scores during that season were unrecorded, the Bulldogs did finish the season with a 7-7 record.
Coach Robert S. “Bob” Wynn became the second coach in Louisiana Tech history when he took over the Bulldogs during the 1926-27 season. Wynn coached for five seasons and collected a 61-55 career record. In his first season he led the Bulldogs to their first winning season and first division championship as Louisiana Tech in only its second year of existence.
Under Wynn, the Bulldogs repeated as SIAA division champs the next season, posting a 15-10 record during the 1927-28 season. The 15 wins would stand as the most victories in a season by a Bulldog team until 1945-46. LA Tech closed out the decade finishing 12-13 in 1928-29 and 13-12 during the 1929-30 season. During that last season, Louisiana Tech picked up its 50th win with a victory over Shreveport “Y”.
1930-1940
Record: 84-89 (.486)
Coaches: Robert S. “Bob” Wynn (1930-31); Hal Lee (1931-34); L.P. McLane (1934-36); Herb Duggins (1936-40)
The 1930’s was the roughest decade for the Bulldog basketball program. The .486 winning percentage during that time is the lowest in Tech history. Despite the losing record, the Bulldogs still managed five winning seasons during the decade.
Wynn coached his last season in 1930-31, guiding the Bulldogs to a 7-12 record.
Coach Hal Lee took over the program from 1931-34. Tech went 4-9 in his first season, but he quickly guided the team to consecutive winning seasons with 8-4 and 12-6 records.
Coach L. P. McLane took over the basketball program from 1934-36 and totalled a 26-12 record. McLane also served as the school’s football coach from 1934-38. Among LA Tech’s victories during his tenure was the school’s 100th victory, a 36-19 win over Louisiana College.
In 1936, Coach Herb Duggins became the fifth coach in Louisiana Tech history and guided the team for four seasons. The Bulldogs had two consecutive losing seasons during Duggins’ first two years but rebounded to go 10-8 in 1938-39.
In 1939, Louisiana Tech joined the Louisiana Intercollegiate Conference and under Coach Duggins, went 5-17 in their first season in the new league.
1940-1950
Record: 89-74 (.546)
Coaches: Cecil Crowley (1940-42; 1945-50); Joe Aillet (1944-45) Conference Affiliation (Years)/Titles: Louisiana Intercollegiate Conference (1940-48)/1941-42, 1946-48; Gulf State Conference (1948-50)
The 1940’s ushered in a new era in Louisiana Tech men’s basketball history as Coach Cecil Crowley, the winningest coach in the program’s history, led the Bulldogs to four conference championships. Crowley coached for two seasons, winning the LIC in year two in 194142 with a 13-8 record.
The program was discontinued for two seasons, 1942-43 and 1943-44 because of World War II. When the games resumed, football coach Joe Aillet took over the program for one season, guiding the Bulldogs to a 5-12 record in 1944-45.
Crowley returned for the 1945-46 season and would remain head coach of the Bulldogs until 1964. Crowley immediately picked up where he left off and led Louisiana Tech to three straight conference championships.
During the 1947-48 season, the Bulldogs picked up the school’s 200th victory with a 56-46 win over Mississippi College.
In 1948, Louisiana Tech became a part of the Gulf States Conference, posting an 11-11 record their first season and an 11-9 record in 1949-50.
Crowley still remains at the top of the Louisiana Tech coaching list for career wins. During his 21 seasons, the most ever by a Louisiana Tech basketball coach, Crowley led the Bulldogs to eight conference championships.
Although some of the records are missing, at least two Bulldogs, Tom Herrin and George Latham, were named All-Conference.
Under head coach Cecil Crowley in the 1950’s, the Bulldogs recorded the second highest winning percentage for a decade in the school’s history. In fact, Louisiana Tech only recorded one losing season in the entire decade.
The decade also brought in a new facility for the basketball team as Memorial Gym was opened in December of 1952. The Bulldogs opened the building in grand fashion by winning the first game 107-49 over Henderson State, marking the first time a Bulldog team broke the century mark in a single game against a college opponent.
Tech captured its first Gulf States Conference championship in the 1952-53 season, going 17-10 and breaking the school record for most wins in a season. Two years later, the 1954-55 team became the school’s first 20 game winner, going 20-10 and capturing another GSC championship. That season, Louisiana Tech captured its 300th win with a 85-55 victory over Centenary.
The Bulldogs picked up their second 20-win season in 1958-59 behind the leadership of Tech’s first basketball All-American Jackie Moreland. Moreland led Louisiana Tech to a 21-4 record while averaging 21.1 points a game. Moreland was named first team All-American in 1958-59 and 1959-60, and later went on to play in the NBA with the Detroit Pistons. Teammate Ray Germany was named honorable mention All-American in 1958-59 and was named to the second team in 1959-60.
During the era, Louisiana Tech had 11 players earn All-Gulf States Conference honors, while Crowley earned two GSC Coach of the Year awards.
The Bulldog teams of the 1960’s brought forth three conference championships and all-conference players like Jerry Hood, George Corley and former Lady Techsters’ head coach Leon Barmore.
The decade started on a bad note as the Bulldogs had three consecutive losing seasons, the longest stretch in Louisiana Tech history. Along the way, Tech gathered its 400th school victory with a 68-64 win over Ole Miss. The Bulldogs rebounded during the 1963-64 season, the last under Coach Cecil Crowley, to win the school’s fourth Gulf States Conference championship.
Louisiana Tech found a worthy successor to Crowley when it named Scotty Robertson as the school’s eighth head coach. Robertson coached from 1964-74 and gathered a 161-86 record at Tech.
In 1966-67, Robertson’s third season at the helm, the Bulldogs collected their third 20-win season and picked up another GSC championship with a 20-8 record. The squad also became the first Louisiana Tech team to play in the NCAA Tournament
The Bulldogs ended the decade on a good note by winning their sixth GSC title during the 1969-70 season while being led by a freshman named Mike Green, who would later go on to set most of Louisiana Tech’s offensive records. That season, the Bulldogs also picked up their 500th win with a 100-84 defeat of Texas A&M.
Fifteen Bulldogs earned All-Gulf States Conference honors, while Moreland was named the Conference Player of the Year in the 1969-70 season. Crowley picked up his third Coach of the Year award in the 1963-64 season while Robertson earned his first during the 1966-67 campaign.
Under the guidance of Coach Scotty Robertson and behind the play of Mike Green, the Bulldogs opened the 1970’s with a bang. The 1970-71 squad picked up another 20-win season, the school’s fourth, going 23-5. The squad also became the second Louisiana Tech team to play in the NCAA Tournament.
In 1971, Louisiana Tech became a member of the Southland Conference and celebrated the inaugural season of the league by picking up the school’s fifth 20-win season with a 23-3 record.
Mike Green returned for his senior season in 1972-73 and helped lead the Bulldogs to an 18-8 record while averaging a school record 30.9 points per game. His efforts that season earned him the AP Player of the Year honors and first team All-American status. Green left Louisiana Tech having scored 2,340 points, a record that still stands today. The 6-10 senior, who was chosen by the Seattle Supersonics, was the fourth overall player selected in the NBA draft in 1973.
In 1974, Coach Emmett Hendricks became the ninth coach in school history. In his second season, Louisiana Tech claimed its second Southland Conference championship behind the leadership of Mike McConathy. McConathy was named honorable mention All-American that season and finished his career second in points scored with 2,033, behind only Green. With a 89-84 win over Arkansas State that season, Louisiana Tech picked up the school’s 600th victory.
Coach J. D. Barnett took over the Bulldog program in 1977 to become the school’s 10th head coach. After a 6-21 season in his first year, Barnett guided Louisiana Tech in 1978-79 to the second biggest turnaround in school history. The 1978-79 squad finished the season 17-8, an 11 game win difference over the previous season.
In 1979, one of the most successful coaches in the school’s history took over the program. Coach Andy Russo became Louisiana Tech’s 11th men’s basketball head coach and during the next six seasons he won 69 percent of his games. In his first season, the last of the decade, Russo led the Bulldogs to a 17-10 record.
The 1970’s saw 18 Bulldog players named to the all-conference team, with Green and McConathy earning Southland Conference Player of the Year awards. In 1978-79, Joe Ivory won SLC Newcomer of the Year. Coach Robertson grabbed his second Coach of the Year award, Coach Hendricks took two during the decade and Coach Barnett claimed one.

There is no doubt that the 1980’s were the premier decade in the history of the Louisiana Tech men’s basketball program.
The 1980-81 season was just the beginning as the Bulldogs picked up their sixth 20-win season with a 20-10 record. After an 11-16 record during the 1981-82 season, Louisiana Tech was ready to see something new.
Louisiana Tech constructed a new basketball arena, the Thomas Assembly Center that was completed and ready for the 1982-83 season. Fans were also anticipating the arrival of a new player, Karl Malone, who would also be ready to play that season.
Louisiana Tech would lose the very first game in the TAC but it quickly became home for the team as the Bulldogs rattled off 40 straight home wins following the loss. Malone would also make an impression, leading the team to a 19-9 record while being named All-American honorable mention. The Bulldogs also picked up the school’s 700th victory with a 59-39 win over Texas-Pan American.
Malone and company took the Bulldogs to new heights during the 1983-84 season, guiding the team to a 26-7 record, the Southland tournament title and a berth to the NCAA Tournament. Louisiana Tech defeated Fresno State in the first round of the tournament before squaring off against Houston’s Phi Slamma Jamma led by Akeem Olajuwon. Malone scored 18 points but the Bulldogs fell short 77-69 to the eventual national runner-up. Again, Malone was named honorable mention All-American.
The 1984-85 season will go down as one of the school’s greatest seasons as the Bulldogs notched a 29-3 record, the best in Louisiana Tech history. The Bulldogs again won the Southland Conference championship and received a berth to the NCAA Tournament.
Tech won its first round game 78-54 over Pittsburgh and defeated Ohio State 79-67 in the second game to advance to the Midwest Regional to face No. 1 seed Oklahoma. The Bulldogs forced the Sooners to overtime but Oklahoma’s Wayman Tisdale sank a last second shot in the extra period to win the game 86-84.
Malone was named second team All-American and was drafted in the first round of the NBA draft by the Utah Jazz.
Coach Russo and Malone were gone after the 1984-85 season but in walked Tech’s 12th head coach Tommy Eagles and next superstar Randy White.
In 1985-86, the Bulldogs continued their success with a 20-14 record, their third 20-win season in a row. Louisiana Tech made it to the postseason again with an invitation to the NIT. The Bulldogs knocked off Northern Arizona, McNeese State and Providence on the way to the NIT Final Four in New York. Playing at Madison Square Garden, Louisiana Tech dropped a 79-66 decision to Ohio State but rebounded in the consolation game with a 67-62 victory over Florida.
Louisiana Tech won its second conference championship during the 1986-87 season. The Bulldogs went 22-8 for their 10th 20-win season and the fourth consecutive. Tech advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the third time in four years. During the season, the school grabbed its 800th win with a 67-62 victory over Lamar.
The 1987-88 season brought a new conference as the Bulldogs joined the America South Conference. Louisiana Tech won the championship in its first season, collecting a 22-9 record and receiving another invitation to the NIT.
The Bulldogs continued their 20-win streak the next season, going 23-9 with wins over Fresno State and LSU. Tech won the America South Tournament and received an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament, its sixth trip. Tech defeated LaSalle 83-74 but lost in the second round to Oklahoma. White would be named honorable mention All-American for his efforts and was drafted in the first round of the NBA draft by the Dallas Mavericks.
The last year of the decade would usher in a new coach, Coach Jerry Loyd, Tech’s 13th head coach. Tech continued its winning ways, posting a 20-8 record and winning the school’s fourth conference championship of the decade. The Bulldogs also played in the postseason in the NIT, the seventh year in a row that Louisiana Tech played after the regular season.
All in all, the 1980’s produced eight 20-win seasons, seven post season appearances, four conference championships and two All-Americans. Seven of the 20-win seasons were consecutive as were all seven of the postseason appearances.
During the decade of the 80’s, 16 players made the all-conference team, with Malone, White and Willie Simmons all earning conference Player of the Year awards. Malone and Reggie Gibbs picked up Newcomer of the Year awards during the decade. Coach Russo earned three Coach of the Year honors, Coach Eagles gathered two and Coach Loyd received one during that period. 1970-71
1990-2000

Louisiana Tech continued its dominance in the early 1990’s by going 21-10 and capturing the America South Tournament Championship during the 1990-91 season. The Bulldogs again advanced to the NCAA Tournament, the sixth time in school history.
The 1991-92 season marked a new conference for the Bulldogs as Louisiana Tech became a member of the Sun Belt Conference. Tech started the league on a good note by winning the league title with a 23-8 record, their ninth consecutive 20-win season. The NIT awaited the team that season to bring their postseason appearances to nine straight years as well. The Bulldogs also gathered their 900th win with a 76-62 victory over Jackson State that season.
But the string of consecutive 20-win season and postseason appearances would end the next season as the Bulldogs suffered their biggest decline, dropping to a 7-21 record. The 1993-94 season would be the lowest point in the decline as Tech finished the year 2-25, the lowest win total in school history.
In 1994, Coach Jim Wooldridge became Louisiana Tech’s 14th head coach and immediately began to reconstruct the program. In his first season, Wooldridge guided the Bulldogs to the biggest turnaround in school history, picking up a 14-13 record, a 12-game improvement over the previous season.
For the next few years under Wooldridge’s guidance, Louisiana Tech became competitive again. During the 1996-97 season, the Bulldogs played in the SBC Tournament final on ESPN, falling just short with a one point loss.
In 1998, Louisiana Tech named Coach Keith Richard as the school’s 15th head coach. Richard immediately guided the Bulldogs back to another Sun Belt Championship with a 19-9 record, the first league title since the 1991-92 season. The 1999-2000 season would go a step further as Louisiana Tech collected its 16th 20-win season with a 21-8 record. The season would also be monumental because the Bulldogs picked up the program’s 1000th victory with a 85-62 win over Nicholls.
Twelve Bulldogs earned all-conference honors during the decade with Ron Ellis and Gerrod Henderson picking up Player of the Year awards. Derek Smith and Antonio Meeking received Freshman of the Year awards while Ellis and Craig Jackson picked up Newcomer of the Year honors. Coach Richard earned Sun Belt Conference Coach of the Year honors during the 1998-99 season.

Louisiana Tech carried its winning tradition into the new millenium with a 17-12 record in the school’s last season in the Sun Belt Conference. That successful campaign gave the Bulldogs three consecutive winning seasons for the first time since the 1989 through 1992 seasons. The 200001 Bulldogs also become the first team in school history to record 10 or more conference wins in three consecutive seasons. Head Coach Keith Richard left the Sun Belt Conference with the sixth best all-time winning percentage in the league’s history. His teams also won more conference games during his tenure that any other team in the league.
Following the 2000-01 season the Bulldogs jumped over to the Western Athletic Conference with successful results. The Bulldogs roared to a 22-10 mark, winning 14 conference games to finish third in the WAC. The team advanced to the postseason for the first time since the 1991-92 season by accepting a NIT bid.
The NIT invitation wasn’t enough for the Bulldogs, who hosted UL-Lafayette in the first round and cruised to a 83-63 win over the Ragin’ Cajuns. The Bulldogs followed with an 83-68 win over Vanderbilt, marking the season’s second win over a Southeastern Conference opponent after the Bulldogs recorded an earlier win at Auburn.
Tech’s home win over Vanderbilt set up a road match at perrenial powerhouse Villanova. The Bulldogs trailed early but tightened things up late to set up a dramatic finish. Tech trailed by three points as senior Gerrod Henderson, renowned for his last-minute heroics, had the opportunity to tie the game at the buzzer. Henderson’s shot was on line but hit the front of the rim as Tech’s season ended with the 67-64 loss.
Two years ago a rollercoaster of a season saw the Bulldogs ride both winning and losing streaks on the way to a 12-15 finish. The team dropped its final five games after winning seven straight, making the Bulldogs hungry to turn things around the following season with a mixture of new and inexperienced Bulldogs.

That inexperience resulted in a 15-15 mark for Tech in 2003-04, but the emergence of WAC Freshman of the Year Paul Millsap, who led the NCAA in rebounds with 12.5 per game, gave the Bulldogs a bright future as more experience and talent was added to the team.
Richard dubbed that season “a successful rebuilding year,” but the Bulldogs ended the 2004-05 season with a mediocre 14-15 overall record and fourth-place in the WAC at 9-9.
Six seasons into the decade, a Bulldog has been honored as an all-conference player following each campaign. Gerrod Henderson represented Tech on two consecutive all-league teams while Darrian Brown earned Western Athletic Conference Newcomer of the Year accolades following the 2001-02 seasons.
Two years ago Antonio “Tiger” Meeking was named a first-team All-WAC selection, and Millsap has earned a WAC Freshman of the Year award, second-team All-WAC selection and first-team All-WAC pick. He was also selected as a preseason first-team all-conference player for the 2005-06 season. In 2005-06, Richard took 10 newcomers to the 18th 20-win season in Tech’s history and to a sixth NIT appearance. Millsap also entered himself into the record books as the first athlete in the history of the NCAA to capture the rebounding championship in back-to-back-to-back seasons averaging 13.3 boards per game.
After electing not to renew Richard’s contract, Louisiana Tech turned to nationally renowned Kerry Rupp to lead the Bulldogs into the future. Rupp comes to Tech from Mike Davis’ staffs in Alabama-Birmingham and Indiana, while also serving under Rick Majerus at Utah. Rupp’s renown comes from his ability to recruit and will look to return Tech to the glory days of the late 70’s and early 80’s.In season three of the Rupp era, the Bulldogs reached heights they hadn’t seen in years with the program’s 19th 20-win season and a spot in the postseason in the CollegeInsider.com Tournament. Tech got national attention due to their 18-2 start to the season as they earned votes in the AP and ESPN/USA Today Top 25 poll. They dominated games at the TAC going 12-2, the most wins since 2000. Kyle Gibson capped off a remarkable career by finishing 8th on Tech’s all-time scoring list and finished in the top 10 in numerous catagories. He and Magnum Rolle were selected to the all-WAC Second Team. Rupp improved the team’s record by nine wins in back-to-back seasons and in doing so, was named the Coach of the Year in the state by the Louisiana Association of Basketball Coaches as well as the Louisiana Sports Writers Association.

The Kerry Rupp era ended on a down note as the 2010-11 squad went 12-20 and won only two conference games, the fewest since joining the Western Athletic Conference in the 2001-02 season. Rupp was relieved of his duties following the season and was replaced by Michael White, the 17th head coach in school history, who had been an assistant at Ole Miss and Jacksonville State.
Despite the new squad, the new philosophies and the newness of being a first-time head coach, a stretch-run that included a 5-1 finish to the regular season carried the Bulldogs into the WAC Tournament as the No. 5 seed. First up in the quarterfinals was perennial conference power Utah State. No matter as LA Tech pulled off a 72-70 upset. Next up in the semifinals was top-seed and WAC regular season champion Nevada. No matter as LA Tech pulled off another upset, 78-73, advancing to their first ever WAC conference tournament final.
The team fell to New Mexico State, coming within 40 minutes of reaching the NCAA Tournament for the program’s first time since 1991. LA Tech finished the year 18-16 which was a six-win improvement from the year before.
The Bulldogs seemed destined for the big dance in 2012-13, reeling off an 18-game winning streak, making an appearance in the Associated Press Top 25 for the first time in 28 years and claiming the program’s first ever WAC regular season championship.

However, the Bulldogs fell one step shy once more, losing its last two regular season games and being upset by UTSA in the conference tournament. The team did get an invite to the National Invitation Tournament for only the seventh time ever, knocking off Florida State in Tallahassee before having the season come to an end with a second round loss at Southern Miss. The historic season ended with in a 27-7 overall record.
As difficult as it would be for LA Tech to match the results in 2013-14 from the year before, they did and then some despite coming up one win short in the conference tournament once again of going to the Big Dance. The `Dogs managed to rack up 29 wins, tying the program record, and in the process won another conference regular season title, this time as a member of CUSA, and advanced to the NIT quarterfinals for just the second time in the school’s history.
Two highlight wins of the 29 came on the road against Oklahoma, the second place finisher in the Big 12, and against Georgia, the second place finisher in the SEC. There were also 10 other single season records tied or broken by the team, as well as individual records shattered by Kenyon McNeail for three-pointers made and attempted, Kenneth Smith for steals and assists and Michale Kyser for blocks.
The success continued in 2014-15 by winning the Conference USA regular season title, the third straight league title for the program and the first outright title since 1999. The Bulldogs also advanced to the NIT quarterfinals for a second straight year which included a victory at Texas A&M.
The senior trio of Speedy, Appleby and Kyser ended up notching 101 career wins, making them the all-time winningest Bulldogs in program history. Along the way, they set 28 individual school records and 32 team school records.
With the trio’s departure as well as the departure of Michael White who left to take the same position at the University of Florida, the standard of excellence continued under new head Eric Konkol who came to LA Tech after most recently spending four years as an assistant coach at Miami (Fla.). Konkol would lead the Bulldogs to a 23-win season, the most victories by a first year head coach in program history. The team also made its fourth straight postseason appearance, receiving an invite to the inaugural Vegas16 Tournament. Helping along the way was star point guard Alex Hamilton who was named an AP Honorable Mention All-American and CUSA Player of the Year just like his predecessor Speedy Smith.
Konkol’s second season at the helm was very similar to the first. The team battled through injuries and still posted a 23-win season, finishing second in CUSA after being picked seventh in the preseason. Erik McCree was the workhorse, leading the team in points and rebounds, in route to being named First Team All-Conference USA. LA Tech produced yet another winning season in 2017-18, highlighted by winning the 10th annual Cancun Challenge championship in Cancun, Mexico as well as the inaugural New Orleans Shootout.
Konkol wrapped up his fourth season at the helm in 2018-19, leading them to a 20-win season. Eight of those victories came against teams who also produced 20-win seasons, the most in a single season in program history. One of those came in the season opener at Wichita State as the Bulldogs shocked the Shockers, handing them only their fourth loss in their last 76 games at home. LA Tech was nearly perfect at home, going 15-1 which tied for the third most home wins in a single season in program history.
Despite the shortened 2019-20 season due to the public health threat of COVID-19 (postseason play with CUSA and NCAA/NIT Tournaments were canceled on March 12), Konkol was named the LSWA Louisiana Coach of the Year and the LABC Louisiana Major College Coach of the Year after guiding the Bulldogs to a 22-8 overall record. The 22 wins was the most victories of any Conference USA team and of any Louisiana Division I team. The ‘Dogs also recorded a 13-5 league record, finishing in a tie for second place. The team had several marquee wins, including a 74-67 victory against Mississippi State in Starkville, as well as a 76-73 victory over Old Dominion, which marked career win No. 100 for Konkol.
There was also the 76-73 victory at home over Old Dominion which marked career win No. 100 for Konkol, becoming the sixth head coach in program history to reach this milestone. DaQuan Bracey, a First Team All-Conference USA selection, hit the game-winning three versus ODU.

The new decade got off to a strong start for the Bulldogs who claimed the Conference USA West Division title and made their first postseason appearance in five years, reaching the NIT Final Four in Frisco, Texas. LA Tech received an at-large bid to play in the NIT where they upset Ole Miss, 70-61, in the first round and then took down league foe WKU, 72-65, in the quarterfinals to reach the semis for the second time in program history.
After falling to Mississippi State, the ‘Dogs regrouped and defeated No. 1 overall seed Colorado State, 76-74, in the consolation game. Kenneth Lofton Jr., CUSA Freshman of the Year and Third Team All-Conference USA, recorded a career-high 27 points, including the game-winning field goal with less than a second remaining, to go along with 13 rebounds in the win over the Rams.
Eric Konkol earned numerous awards including CUSA Coach of the Year, NABC District 11 Coach of the Year, LABC Louisiana Major College Coach of the Year and LSWA Coach of the Year. He was also a finalist for the Jim Phelan National Coach of the Year Award.
For the third time in the last decade, the Bulldogs found themselves one win away from going to the NCAA Tournament. After going through the gautlet of defeating Marshall, WKU, and top-seeded North Texas, the Bulldogs fell to UAB by a final score of 83-72 in the Conference USA title game in Frisco, Texas.
LA Tech ended the season with a 24-10 overall record, becoming just the 10th program in the country to register at least 24 wins in each of the last two seasons.
A big part of that season was the “Bully Ball” play of Kenneth Lofton Jr. who averaged a team-high 16.5 points and 10.5 rebounds per game in route to being named First Team All-Conference USA, NABC First Team AllDistrict 11, and LABC Louisiana Major College Player of the Year.

After seven seasons at the helm, Konkol left to take the head coaching position at the University of Tulsa. He finished his coaching career at LA Tech with 153 victories, the third most in program history, including six 20-win seasons which was the most ever by a Bulldog head coach.
Then on March 29, 2022, Talvin Hester was introduced as the 19th head men’s basketball coach in program history, returning to Ruston having spent three years with the Bulldogs as an assistant coach from 2018-21.
Hester guided LA Tech to a 15-win season in his first year at the helm, picking up his first victory as a head coach in the season opener against Mississippi College as well as claiming the title of the Samford multi-team event with wins over Alabama A&M, UT Southern, and host Samford.
The Bulldogs had a 7-win improvement in year two under Hester who was named NABC District 11 Coach of the Year and a Ben Jobe Aware finalist after guiding LA Tech to a 22-10 overall record. They registered a 12-4 CUSA record, finishing second in the league, and were ranked as the top CUSA team in both NET rankings and KenPom while sporting one of the best defenses in the country, ranking seventh in the nation in field goal percentage defense and 16th in scoring defense, holding their opponents to 64.5 points per game.
Isaiah Crawford went on to be voted CUSA Player of the Year and CUSA Defensive Player of the Year. Daniel Batcho was selected as the CUSA Newcomer of the Year while Tahlik Chavez and Sean Newman Jr. joined the two as All-CUSA honorees, the most all-conference selections in a single season since 1985.

DR. JIM HENDERSON
UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT
@DrJBHenderson
Dr. Jim Henderson became the 15th president of Louisiana Tech University on Jan. 1, 2024. His ties to the institution go back more than 80 years when his father, Clem Henderson, was recruited to play for famed Louisiana Tech football coach, Joe Aillet. His mom, Martha, was a two-time Tech grad.
Henderson previously served as the president and CEO of the University of Louisiana System, one of the nation’s largest University systems. As the longestserving UL System president, he led the Universities of Louisiana in the creation of a strategic framework that charged its member institutions to produce the most educated generation in Louisiana’s history. Through various Systemic initiatives such as Compete LA, the Reginald F. Lewis Scholars, and the challenges associated with a global pandemic and fiscal uncertainty, he developed a notion of System that will continue to benefit each of the nine institutions for decades to come.
Henderson also served as president of his alma mater, Northwestern State University, where he reinvigorated student life and campus culture leading to the highest enrollment in the school’s 135-year history. Before taking the helm of NSU, Henderson served as chancellor of Bossier Parish Community College. During his tenure, the institution ranked among the five fastest growing colleges in the nation for five consecutive years.
In 2012, Henderson was named a Northwest Louisiana Business Hall of Fame Laureate and in 2017 he was inducted into Northwestern State University’s hall of honor, the Long Purple Line. Henderson holds a master of science in administration from University of West Florida and a doctor of management from University of Maryland—University College. In 2010, he completed the Institute of Educational Management at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. He currently serves as the Chair of the Board of Visitors of the Marine Corps University.
The smartest decision Henderson has made is marrying his college sweetheart,
Tonia who founded her own media company after a successful career in advertising. The Hendersons have three children, Reagan, Nicholas, and Alexander who is majoring in chemical engineering at Louisiana Tech; and four grandchildren, Zachary, Miguel, Maria, and Lucille.
RYAN IVEY
VICE PRESIDENT & DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS
@rivey35
Louisiana Tech University President Dr. Jim Henderson introduced Ryan Ivey as Vice President and Director of Athletics in front of a packed Club Level at the Davison Athletics Complex.
Ivey comes to Ruston with more than 18+ years of experience in intercollegiate athletics with the past 11 as an athletics director at Stephen F. Austin, Austin Peay, and Texas A&M-Commerce.
“The Louisiana Tech athletics brand is synonymous with excellence. When you think about the student-athletes, coaches, administrators, and teams that have called this University home, it is really astounding. We have an opportunity to build upon, grow and establish future success,” Ivey said. “Our goal will be to build a nationally prominent athletics department with individuals that excel in everything that we do. We will be relentless in our pursuit of excellence, respecting those that have come before us, but building and charting our own path and successes. Now is the time to be part of this amazing University and department!”
He spent more than five years in Nacogdoches, Texas at SFA, leading the department through a conference transition from the Southland Conference to the Western Athletic Conference, raising private support that included the launch of the Purple Lights Fund that helped secure the four largest single gifts in the department’s history, and increasing ticket sales by 189 percent.
He also helped complete more than $30 million in facility improvements including the Loddie Naymola Basketball Performance Center, a 42,000-square foot building that houses offices, locker rooms, weight room, training room, and practice courts for the SFA basketball programs. Other construction improvements included a baseball indoor pitching facility, beach volleyball competition facility, indoor golf practice facility, soccer locker room renovations, and more.
Under his leadership, the Lumberjacks celebrated 18 conference championships, three NCAA Tournament appearances, and the 2019 Bowling National Championship won by the Ladyjacks after going a perfect 4-0, defeating top-ranked Vanderbilt in the title match.
Prior to joining SFA, Ivey spent three years (2015-18) at Austin Peay in Clarksville, Tennessee, overseeing the department of athletics and its 16 sponsored sports.
While at the helm of the Governors, he helped raise $6.5 million in gifts which were funneled into facility improvements and the athletic departments budget on top of increase football and basketball ticket revenue a combined 39 percent.
While at Austin Peay, the Governors posted several accomplishments on the court/field including two postseason appearances by men’s basketball in 2016 and 2018, an eight-win season by football in 2017 that tied the program record for singleseason victories reached some 40 years prior in 1977, and a volleyball program that claimed both the Ohio Valley Conference regular season and tournament titles.
His first Director of Athletics position came at NCAA Division II Texas A&M-Commerce. During his two-year stint with the Lions, the athletic programs experienced new heights by winning six team Lone Star Conference championships in the 2014-15 season, the most ever in Lion Athletics history.
In particular, the football program secured back-to-back winning seasons and postseason appearances for the first time since 1990, seeing a 160 percent increase in attendance and a record number of season tickets sold.
Along the way, he helped drive in more than $2.8 million in facility enhancements, including a $1.4 million softball field that saw a first-year program in 2015 finish with a winning record and gain a spot in the Lone Star Conference tournament. He also created the Lions Athletic Club, the fundraising arm of Texas A&M-Commerce Athletics.
Ivey’s first work experience in the state of Louisiana came at McNeese where he assumed the role of assistant athletic director for internal affairs with his efforts primarily focused on growing corporate sponsorship revenue for the Cowboys and Cowgirls.
He spent six years in Lake Charles, the last three of which were as associate director of athletics where he continued his work in revenue generation while overseeing operations for all 16 of the institution’s athletic programs.
Under his guidance, corporate sponsorship yield over $750,000 before accepting his first athletic director position at Texas A&M-Commerce.
Prior to breaking into athletic administration, Ivey served as the director of basketball operations for the Memphis women’s basketball team from 2005-07, which followed a short stint as an athletics marketing coordinator at the University of South Dakota.
Following his graduation from Memphis in 2004, Ivey secured a position with the Memphis Redbirds – the triple-A affiliate of the MLB’s St. Louis Cardinals – as a stadium operations assistant.
A student-athlete at Memphis, Ivey suited up for the Tigers’ football team for four years as the squad’s punter and holder. Most notable, Ivey held or Lou Groza finalist and eventual three-time Super Bowl champion Stephen Gostkowski.
Ivey earned both his bachelor’s (sports management, 2004) and master’s (sports and leisure commerce, 2010) from the University of Memphis.
Ivey is married to the former Kelley Holt from Fayetteville, Tennessee. The couple has two sons – Jett and Ace.
