BULLDOG STORYLINES & PROJECTED STARTERS
• After a tough road trip to open Conference USA play, Louisiana Tech returns home to face FIU on Thursday night inside the Thomas Assembly Center on Karl Malone Court. The Bulldogs will play five of their next seven CUSA games in Ruston.
• LA Tech had its worst outing of the season this past Saturday, falling 78-48 to New Mexico State in Las Cruces. It was the first 30-point defeat since 2020 and the first time the Bulldogs have lost by more than 10 points in 46 games (since March of 2023).
LA Tech set several season lows including total points, field goal percentage (31.5), and three-point field goal percentage (21.2) while also allowing NM State to shoot 55.6 percent from the field, which was only the second time this season an opponent has eclipsed 44 percent shooting.

A LA TECH WIN...
• Would give the Bulldogs their first CUSA win of the season. LA Tech has not lost its first three league games since the 2017-18 season (only time they have done so in CUSA).
• Would give the Bulldogs their fifth straight win over the Panthers. LA Tech has won seven of the last eight meetings and are a perfect 7-0 versus FIU in Ruston as CUSA opponents.
• Would give Talvin Hester his 49th career win as head coach. He is 48-32 all-time in his third season with the Bulldogs.
• The Bulldogs are off to an 0-2 start in CUSA play for just the second time ever (other time was 2018). LA Tech will try to get back to playing like it did in non-conference (pre-Christmas) when they averaged 80.5 points while shooting 50.9 percent from the field and then holding teams to 67.0 points and 39.8 percent shooting. In the conference losses to UTEP and New Mexico State, the ‘Dogs averaged 54.0 points and shot 35.6 percent from the field while the Miners and Aggies combined to shoot 45.8 percent and score an average of 74.0 points.
• One of the few bright spots in the New Mexico State game was the play of LA Tech’s bench. Sean Elkinton, who has seen limited action this season due to injury, played 20 minutes while scoring a season-high and team-high 12 points. In doing so, the junior transfer eclipsed 1,000 points for his collegiate career. Freshman Landren Blocker also got a lot of playing time, seeing 14 minutes of action and scoring five points.
• Amaree Abram was the only other Bulldog to score in double figures against the Aggies, tallying 10 points which was his 12th double-digit scoring game this season. He knocked down two three-pointers, giving him multiple made threes in eight straight games. He is shooting a team-best 39.8 percent from beyond the arc, having made 33 triples (eighth most in the league).
• Despite LA Tech’s offensive woes on the road trip, Sean Newman Jr. still managed to dish out 13 combined assists against the Miners and Aggies to give him 141 for the season, second most in the country, and 500 total for his collegiate career. His average of 9.4 assists per game also ranks second in the nation.
• Daniel Batcho was very limited on the road trip as the CUSA Preseason Player of the Year was held to just 14 total points on just six field goal attempts. He is still averaging a team-best 18.3 points per game while shooting 75.0 percent from the field, which ranks first in the country.
• Talvin Hester is in his third season at the helm at LA Tech. In his second year, Hester was able to blend in seven newcomers in route to a 22-win season and a second-place finish in CUSA. He will be tasked with the same thing as seven newcomers join the 2024-25 squad, mixed in with six returners (five of which made a combined 67 starts last season).
• LA Tech was picked to finish first in the Conference USA preseason poll, as voted on by the league head coaches. It was definitely not unanimous as five of the 10 conference teams picked up at least one first-place vote and the top three were separated by only four points. This marks the first time since 2014 that the Bulldogs are preseason league favorites.

BY NAME
TALVIN HESTER
HEAD COACH | 3RD SEASON
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 22-10 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.
He guided LA Tech to a 15-win season in his first season at the helm, 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 this past season working under new head coach and 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.
During his three successful years at LA Tech under Eric Konkol, Hester helped the Bulldogs register three 20+ winning seasons. The 2020-21 season saw the ‘Dogs register a 24-8 overall record while claiming a Conference USA 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.
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 Conference USA 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 Conference USA 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.
During his two stints at LA Tech, Hester helped coach All-Conference USA selections DaQuan Bracey (First Team), Kenneth Lofton Jr. (Third Team and C-USA Freshman of the Year), and Isaiah Crawford (Third Team twice) as well as Cobe Williams who was a two-time member of the CUSA All-Defensive Team, and Jordan Crawford who was one of five players chosen to the CUSA All-Freshman Team for the 2022-23 season.
Along with stops at Texas Tech and Louisiana 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. 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.

NEWS AND NOTES
NOT UNDERRATED ANYMORE
Following a 74-66 home win over WAC preseason favorite Grand Canyon, head coach Talvin Hester was posed with a question about Sean Newman Jr. being underrated nationally.
His quick reply ... “He’s not underrated anymore.”
Newman Jr. scored a career-high 25 points to go along with nine assists versus the Lopes. He made or assisted on 17 of the Bulldogs 28 field goal attempts, scoring seven of the team’s last nine points to grab the victory.
In doing so, he eclipsed 100 assists for the season, reaching that milestone in 12 games which is the fastest in program history (previous fastest was 14 games done by Speedy Smith in 2014-15 and Wayne Smith in 1985-86).
He turned around the next game and set a new LA Tech and CUSA single-game record with 20 assists versus Rust College. He already has six games with 10+ assists this season, the third most in program history.
Most 10+ assist games in a single season
10 Speedy Smith (2014-15)
8 Speedy Smith (2013-14)
6 Sean Newman Jr. (2024-25)
BEST START (thru 13 games)
LA Tech picked up its 10th victory of the season on Dec. 16 in a 74-66 win over Grand Canyon.
ROAD DOGS
LA Tech is known for its home court advantage in the Thomas Assembly Center, but the Bulldogs are also developing a habit of winning on the road.
The team is 6-3 this season playing away from home (2-3 in true road games and 4-0 in neutral site games).
Go back to further and LA Tech has won 12 of its last 17 games away from home.
OFFENSIVE DOGS
While head coach Talvin Hester likes to hang his hat on defense, the 2024-25 team is on pace to be one of the best Bulldog offenses in program history.
LA Tech ranks in the top 40 in the country in field goal percentage (49.0), having shot at least 50 percent in eight of its 15 games this season which is already the most in a single season in the Hester era (had seven such games each of the last two seasons).
DOWN, BUT NEVER OUT
For whatever reason, LA Tech has gotten off to slow starts for the majority of the time this season. So much so that the Bulldogs have either been tied or trailed at halftime in nine of their 15 games.
The team has turned it on in the second half though, registering a 6-3 record in those seven games. For reference, the Bulldogs were a combined 6-18 in the last two seasons when tied or trailing at halftime.
goals 99 3 49
Following the victory over Rust College in the final non-conference game of the regular season, the Bulldogs improved to 11-2 which was the best start through 13 games since 2015. It marked the 11th time in program history that LA Tech has won at least 11 times through its first 13 contests.

SECOND-HALF OFFENSE = HOT
The second-half comebacks have in large part been a result of LA Tech’s second-half offense.
This season in the second stanza, the Bulldogs are shooting 52.6 percent from the field (216411) and 36.8 percent from three-point range (56-152) while averaging 40.7 points. They have scored 40+ points in the second half eight times.
PLAYING THROUGH INJURIES
LA Tech has not and will not will a full game this season with its entire roster healthy.
Not only is then-starter Will Jeffress out for the season with a knee injury, several other Bulldogs have missed games this season due to injuries or illness.

GULF COAST SHOWCASE CHAMPS
Even though there was not a trophy handed out, Louisiana Tech claimed itself as the “unofficial” champions of the 2024 Gulf Coast Showcase after being the only team to go a perfect 3-0.
The Bulldogs needed comebacks in all three games to come out victorious.

The Bulldogs improved to 6-0 all-time at the multi-team event as they were also the inaugural champions of the 2013 Gulf Coast Showcase when they defeated UNC Greensboro, UIC, and then St. Bonaventure in the finals.
BATCHO MAN
Daniel Batcho was one of the most productive power forwards in college basketball last season, earning numerous postseason honors including CUSA Newcomer of the Year, First Team All-CUSA, and CUSA All-Defensive Team.
He was one of only three players in the country to average at least 15 points, nine rebounds, and two blocks per game (became just the second Bulldog in program history to do so along with Paul Millsap in 2005-06). One of those other two players was Zach Edey of Purdue who was the national Player of the Year.
He was the team and league leader in blocks with 67 (11th most in program history), averaging 2.39 rejections per contest which ranked 10th in the nation.
Batcho also posted 11 double-doubles in 28 games played, scoring in double-figures in 24 of those and pulling down double-digit boards 14 times.
Because of all this, it was no surprise that he was voted as the CUSA Preseason Player of the Year, marking the second straight year a Bulldog has received this preseason honor (Isaiah Crawford, 2023-24).

JEFFRESS OUT FOR THE SEASON
Redshirt senior Will Jeffress underwent successful knee surgery to repair a season-ending injury suffered during the game against UMass on Nov. 13.
The Bulldog had started all three games and was averaging 12.5 points and 8.0 rebounds going into the UMass contest.
He came to Ruston after spending the last four seasons at Pittsburgh, just two hours from his hometown of Erie. Jeffress graduated in 3.5 years from Pitt with two degrees in Psychology and Communications. He was a three-time ACC All-Academic Team selection and a 2024 Academic All-District honoree.
BATCHO PUTS UP 38
Daniel Batcho was unstoppable on Nov. 18 against Mississippi College, scoring a career-high 38 points versus the Choctaws. He became just the 11th Bulldog in program history to score 38+ points in a single game and was the most points scored by a Bulldog since 2016.
He made 13 of his 14 field goal attempts (the 92.9 shooting percentage tied for the third best in CUSA history). He also made 11 of his 12 free throw attmepts. The redshirt senior was so hot that he even sank his first ever three-pointer as a Bulldog.
NEWMAN JR. NAMED MVP
Sean Newman Jr. was named MVP of the first Icons of the Game event between LA Tech and UMass.
The point guard registered a double-double in the game with a season-high 14 points and 12 assists in the 76-66 win over the Minutemen.
BATCHO CLAIMS CUSA POW (x2)

NEWS AND NOTES
BULLDOGS RELOAD
LA Tech brought in seven newcomers in 202324, a revamped roster that led to 22 wins and a second-place finish in CUSA.
The Bulldogs will have a similar situation for 2024-25 with the addition of seven newcomers again -- five transfers and two freshman.

NEXT STAR FROM PORT ARTHUR?
Bulldog fans are very familiar with Port Arthur, Texas. The city that sits 90 miles east of Houston is the hometown of Bulldog great Kenneth Lofton Jr. who spent two seasons in Ruston terrorizing opponents before spending the last two seasons in the NBA.
LA Tech may have its next Bulldog great from Port Arthur in the form of Amaree Abram (Lofton Jr. and Abram were teammates at one point at Port Arthur Memorial High School).
Abram was a top-100 recruit coming out of high school and has spent one season apiece at Ole Miss and Georgia Tech before now finding himself at LA Tech.
BUSY NOVEMBER
It was a busy November for the Bulldogs as they played eight games (three at home, four at neutral sites, and one away), which tied the most in program history (went 7-1). The only other time LA Tech played eight games in November was during the 2012-13 season.
OLD, BUT NOT THAT OLD
LA Tech won’t be quite as old as they were in 2023-24 when they had five seniors, all of which were in at least their fifth year of college basketball (had an average age of 21.3).
The Bulldogs will still be a veteran club in 2024-25 though age wise as 10 of the 13 players are upperclassmen (five are in at least their fourth year of college basketball). Will Allen is the oldest of the bunch at 24 years of age.
FIRST EVER NO. 7
In the summer of 2023, the NCAA ratified a number of rule changes, one of which allowed players for the first time to wear any number between 0 and 99.
For decades, the NCAA had restricted two-digit jersey numbers beginning with 6, 7, 8, or 9. So for the first time ever, fans will see a Bulldog wearing No. 7 that will be worn by freshman guard Landren Blocker.
QUEST FOR 1,500 WINS
LA Tech joined the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association in 1925, thus beginning its start of having a men’s basketball program.
Over the last 97 seasons (basketball was discontinued 1942-44 due to World War II), records show that the Bulldogs have amassed 1,485 victories.
LA Tech is in need of 15 more wins to reach the miletone of 1,500 (as of Dec. 16, 2024).
ATTITUDE AND EFFORT CONT’D
Under head coach Talvin Hester, LA Tech has adopted the phrase “Attitude and Effort.” In large part, that saying applies to defense.
Last season, the Bulldogs ranked seventh in the country in field goal percentage defense, allowing opponents to shoot just 39.1 percent from the field which was the lowest in program history since the 1957-58 season. They held 20 of their 32 opponents to under 40 percent shooting, which tied for the third most in the nation.
The Bulldogs also ranked 16th in the country last season in scoring defense, holding their opponents to 64.5 points per game.
20-Piece(S)
LA Tech has grown accustomed to putting together 20-win seasons. They did so again last season, totaling 22 victories.
That marked the 10th time in the last 12 seasons and 29th time over the course of the program’s history that the Bulldogs won 20+ games.

HAVING TO REPLACE ISAIAH
Isaiah Crawford spent the last five years at Louisiana Tech, including two seasons that were cut short due to season-ending knee injuries.
Despite that, Crawford etched his name into the record books as one of the greatest Bulldogs in program history. He finished his career as a three-time All-CUSA selection and capped it off in 2023-24 by being voted CUSA Player of the Year and CUSA Defensive Player of the Year (only the third player in league history to garner both awards in the same season).
Crawford could have taken a medical redshirt and returned for a sixth season at LA Tech, but the chose to pursue his professional career and is now with the NBA’s Sacramento Kings.
In total, the Bulldogs lost 61 percent of their scoring from last year’s team, primarily due to the departure of Crawford as well as Third Team All-CUSA guard Tahlik Chavez. The two graduates combined to average 30.2 points per game.
WHERE THE 3S COMING FROM?
The three ball plays such a critical role in college basketball. Of the 229 made triples last season, 163 of those were made by Bulldogs who are not on the 2024-25 roster.
Tahlik Chavez, a 5th-year senior last season, was the primary sharpshooter making 80 three-pointers, tied for the fifth most in a single season in program history.
So where will the three-pointers come from this season?
Amaree Abram will be one of the options. As a freshman at Ole Miss, he finished second on the team with 39 made threes while shooting a team-best 36.4 percent from deep.
Another option will be Al Green who shot 40 percent from beyond the arc in his two seasons at San Diego City College, combining for 93 made triples.
1,000 POINT-CLUB GROWS
The 1,000-point club has grown exponentionally over the last decade at LA Tech.
A total of 34 Bulldogs reached the milestone from the program’s first member, George Latham in 1950, all the way until 2013. Over the last 10 years, there have been 11 new additions to the club and at least one almost every season.
It may be a while before another Bulldog eclipses this milestone as no current player is on pace to do so.
HOME WINNING STREAKS
With the domination at home have come plenty of home winning streaks.
Over the last decade plus, the squad has had seven separate home streaks of at least 10 victories.
11 straight Nov. 13, 2023 -- Jan. 27, 2024

WINNING STREAKS
After the Bulldogs extended their winning streak to five to start the season with an 8579 overtime win over Southern Illinois on Nov. 25, 2024, it meant they have now registered at least a 5-game winning streak in every season going back to 2009.

ABOUT FIU
After dropping six of its first eight games, FIU has started to find the win column more often having won five of its last seven.
Following a 73-69 home loss to Middle Tennessee in the CUSA opener, a game in which the Panthers led for almost 30 minutes, FIU secured a resounding 85-66 victory over WKU. The game was practically over at halftime when the Panthers held a 23-point lead.
Following a four-game home stand, the Panthers will be traveling to take on LA Tech and Sam Houston this week.
OFFENSE IS CLICKING
Part of FIU’s turnaround has been its improved offense. Over the last four games, the Panthers are shooting 48.9 percent from the field and 47.1 percent from three-point range.
STINGY DEFENSE
Jeremy Ballard’s defense is still causing havoc. The Panthers rank top 40 in the country in both steals per game (9.3) and turnovers forced per game (15.73).
In the win over the Hilltoppers, FIU set new season highs in both turnovers forced (25) and steals (16) which they converted into 24 points.
SCORING BY COMMITTEE
Five different Panthers are averaging at least nine points per game, led by Jayden Brewer who is averaging 13.9 points per contest. After back-to-back 20-point games in December against Stetson and East Carolina, he has seen limited action after missing the Middle Tennessee game and only playing 15 minutes versus WKU.
Asim Jones has been a bigger scoring threat as of late, having scored in double figures in six straight games with an average of 16.0 points in the two CUSA contests.
HISTORY AGAINST THE PANTHERS
LA Tech and FIU were league foes in the Sun Belt Conference for three seasons (1998-01) before becoming league opponents again in 2013 when the two programs joined Conference USA.
Since becoming CUSA foes, LA Tech holds a 10-5 advantage including a perfect 7-0 mark versus the Panthers in Ruston.
Aside from the 40-point win by the Bulldogs in Miami last season, this matchup has often been a close one as 10 of the last 11 meetings have been decided by seven points or less.

RUSTON – Isaiah Crawford scored a game-high 24 points while Tahlik Chavez tallied 22 as Louisiana Tech swept the season series against FIU with a 75-68 victory inside the Thomas Assembly Center on Karl Malone Court.
The scoring duo combined to shoot 70.6 percent from the field (12-of-17) while also making all six of the team’s three-pointers as well as 16 free throws to help LA Tech go undefeated in its two-game home stand and remain atop the league standings.
A big first half was the difference in the game for the ‘Dogs. LA Tech shot 60.9 percent from the field, 71.4 percent from three, and 90.9 percent from the charity stripe through the first 20 minutes. They also locked down FIU in the process who could muster only eight made field goals.
Three straight three-pointers – two by Crawford and one by Chavez – gave the Bulldogs an early 9-0 run and an 11-4 lead. A Jordan Crawford steal and fastbreak layup made it 22-9 in favor of LA Tech, forcing a timeout by FIU with 11:32 to go in the stanza.
The lead maxed out right before halftime when Isaiah Crawford made a contested layup off the glass to give the home team a 43-26 advantage going into the locker room.
The second half was a different story as LA Tech could not get much going offensively. Meanwhile, the Panthers’ pressure started to take its toll on the Bulldogs. The visitors would get their deficit down to single digits, 65-56, after back-to-back threes from Petar Krivokapic and Jaidon Lipscomb with 5:12 still to go.
However, LA Tech, playing without the services of starters Daniel Batcho and Sean Newman Jr., was able to keep FIU at bay down the home stretch, getting a key putback by Will Allen and a trio of free throws by Chavez.
Devin Ree was the third Bulldog in double figures with 11 as LA Tech finished the game 47.9 percent from the field, making six of their 10 three-point attempts and 23 of their 29 free throws attempts.
