Exhibition Gives First View of New Era The LMU men’s basketball program will take the court at Gersten Pavilion for the first time under Head Coach Mike Dunlap. The 1980 graduate of LMU took over the Lions’ program in March and leads a young squad into the 2014-15 season for the first time when they face UC San Diego in the lone exhibition game on Thursday, Nov. 6 at 7 pm. The game can be heard live on KXLU 88.89 FM and will be broadcast on the LMUSportsNetwork through LMULions.com. INSIDE THE LIONS • On March 12, 2014, Mike Dunlap returned home, coming back to his alma mater as the 26th head coach of the LMU men’s basketball program. In less than four months, the Lions had a new roster that included seven newcomers, just three players that played more than seven games together, 13 players from eight different countries and a coaching staff with over 70 years of combined head coaching experience at every level of basketball. • To get a jump start on the 2014-15 season, Dunlap and the Lions found a way to organize a 12day training trip to Spain. The trip included a grueling training schedule before and during the trip, three games against local all-star teams and a fourth against the Angola National Team, who was training for the World Cup later that month. The result has the Lions coming together heading into the new season. With four walk-ons joining the roster in September, the Lions have 11 of 17 players who were not in LMU uniforms a year ago. An additional three - Ayodeji Egbeyemi, Godwin Okonji and Patson Siame - served sat out a year ago, giving them 14 of 17 players that did not see action a year ago (Egbeyemi played eight games before serving medical redshirt year). With youth everywhere on the roster, the Lions will lean on fifth-year seniors Egbeyemi, Okonji and Chase Flint to lead them on the mission of coming together each day throughout the 2014-15 season under the experienced staff led by one of LMU’s own in Dunlap. • The international flavor of LMU’s roster includes Australia (Joshua Spiers, David Humphries), Slovakia (Simon Krajcovic), Czech Republic (Petr Herman), Zambia (Patson Siame), Nigeria (Godwin Okonji, Ayodeji Egbeyemi) and Croatia (Marin Mornar). The LMU Sports Network took a look at the vast differences of the Lions’ roster through language. • Senior Leadership: The Lions, with 11 newcomers on the roster, will lean heavily on an experienced trio of seniors. Both Godwin Okonji and Ayodeji Egbeyemi are coming off medical redshirt seasons and will play their fifth season in 2014-15. The two have played in 96 and 91 games, respectively, at LMU. Both were expected to be mainstays in the starting line-up a year ago and enter the game with a combined 131 starts among them. Joining them is senior Chase Flint. He, along with Egbeyemi, have already earned their Bachelor degrees and both are in master programs at LMU. Egbeyemi is the MBA program while Flint is in the Elementary Education program. Flint has played in 42 games at LMU after coming from Eastern Utah College in 2012. • Three players return from last year’s roster that saw action for the length of the season. The senior Flint along with junior Marin Mornar and freshman Even Payne. Mornar ranked 10th in LMU program history with 36 blocks on the season, giving him 46 in his career, which is ranked 23rd all-time. Mornar has played in 54 games as a Lion and averaged 2.8 points and 2.9 rebounds a year ago. He ranked sixth in the WCC last year at 1.1 blocks per contest. As for Payne, he set the LMU freshman record a year ago with 497 points in playing every game. His 15.5 points a year ago - an LMU freshman record - ranked seventh in the WCC. • Season tickets and individual game tickets for the 2014-15 LMU men’s basketball season are on sale today through LMULions.com/Tickets. It is the first season under Dunlap, a 1980 graduate of LMU. The 2014-15 season will be a busy one at Gersten Pavilion with 17 games all told. It begins LMU Men’s Basketball • 2014-15 Game Notes • www.LMULions.com • #LMULions

COACH DUNLAP
HEAD COACH
MIKE DUNLAP L
oyola Marymount University Athletics Director Dr. William Husak announced March 12, 2014 that Mike Dunlap, a 1980 graduate of LMU, has been hired as the 26th head coach of the men’s basketball program. Dunlap returns to the Westchester campus with more than 30 years of college and NBA coaching experience. Known for his player development and on-the-floor coaching, Dunlap was most recently the head coach of the Charlotte Bobcats for the 2012-2013 season, becoming the first coach in NBA history to win three times as many games as the year before. He also spent time with the Denver Nuggets, recently served as a top assistant at Arizona, Oregon, and St. John’s, and won a pair of NCAA Division II National Championships at Metropolitan State College in Denver, Colo. He began coaching right after graduating from LMU and he brings that experience back home. Before arriving in Charlotte, Dunlap spent six years as an assistant coach in the professional and college ranks. Prior to his work as an assistant, he spent nine seasons as the head coach at Metro State, leading his teams to national titles in 2000 and 2002 while earning NABC Division II Coach of the Year honors in both of those seasons. Coach Dunlap, whose teams went to the NCAA Tournament in each of his nine seasons, posted an overall record of 248-50 (.832), winning five Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference titles. In 2006, Coach Dunlap left Metro State to become an assistant coach with the Denver Nuggets under George Karl. In two seasons with the Nuggets, he helped the team to a 95-69 record that included a 50-win season in 2007-08, the team’s first in 23 years. Dunlap then spent the 2008-09 season as associate head coach at the University of Arizona under legendary coach Lute Olson and the 2009-10 season as associate head coach on Ernie Kent’s staff at the University of Oregon. He then joined Steve Lavin at St. John’s in 2010. During the 2011-12 season, he oversaw the day-to-day operations of the team and served as acting head coach in all but four games while Lavin recovered from surgery to treat prostate cancer. Dunlap also served three seasons in Australia (1994-1996) as head coach of the Adelaide 36ers in the National Basketball League, taking the team to the NBL Grand Final in 1994 against the North Melbourne Giants and the semifinals in 1995 and 1996. Over his three season in Adelaide Dunlap compiled a 59-36 (.641) record. Before going to Australia, Dunlap was head coach at Division III California Lutheran from 1989-94. His teams posted an 80-54 record (.597) and won three straight Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference titles from 199294, while also advancing to the Sweet 16 in 1992 and 1994. All told in 14 years as a head coach, Dunlap has led his teams to 20 or more wins in 11 of those seasons. His first year as a head coach in 1989-90 is his only season under .500. His college coaching experience also includes five seasons with the Lions (1980-85), one season at Iowa (1985-86) and three seasons at the USC (1986-89).
