THIS IS MISSOURI SOUTHERN IMAGINE THE FUN Just like college students everywhere, you will find times when you need to “blow off some steam.” When you do, you will find that sometimes there is so much going on at Missouri Southern, it is hard to pick and choose. Free activities happen throughout the year: ball games, plays, music concerts, campuswide picnics, lectures by famous people, intramural sports, and more. The Billingsly Student Center offers pool tables, the campus bookstore, and the ticket office with discount tickets to area concerts, attractions, and professional sporting events. The Campus Activities Board (CAB), a student-run group, plans concerts and special events for the campus. Joplin is also a fun place to live and learn. There are movie theaters, restaurants, and a large shopping mall less than a mile from campus. And if you feel like getting away for a while, Kansas City, Mo. is a 2 1/2 hour drive from Joplin, and Branson and Tulsa, Okla. are less than two hours away. The Four-State Region is also a great place for hiking, fishing, camping, and canoeing.
JOPLIN COMMUNITY Joplin is located in southwest Missouri in the “four states” region encompassing Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri and Arkansas. At the edge of the Ozark Mountain region, Joplin has a current population of 49,024. The daytime population swells to 270,000 while the population within a 40 mile radius of Joplin is 400,000, making it Missouri’s fourth largest metropolitan area. Joplin combines the beauty and hospitality of country living with the convenience and commerce of city vitality.

THIS IS MISSOURI SOUTHERN The Mansion remains a tangible testimony to the past as well as the future. Just as it was a Home to the Buchanan and Wallower families before, today it gains new meaning as the Home to all Southern Alumni. After being an integral part of Southern’s original 1967 campus, the Mansion remained idle from 1992 to 2006. The Missouri Southern State University Alumni Association created a strategic plan in 2004. One objective was to renovate the Mansion. Alumni staff and board members began raising funds to restore the 4,000 square foot building with a substantial gift from Mary Helen Harutun, restoration efforts began on the exterior of the Mansion. The facade enhancement was completed in 2007. After the exterior work was done the Alumni Association began to concentrate on restoring the interior. Through a most generous gift by Ralph L. Gray, the interior work began in 2009. After five years of planning and fund raising the Ralph L. Gray Alumni Center was dedicated on September 18, 2010.
The Beimdiek Recreation Center opened in September of 2009. The center provides 71,000 sq. ft. of space for students and includes three multi-purpose hardwood courts, two aerobic workout rooms, spacious and modern locker rooms, two weight and cardio exercise areas are with more than 100 pieces of equipment combined, and a 10-lap mile elevated walking/jogging track. The beautiful building is constructed with many windows which allow for inspiring views of Southern’s Bodon Soccer field and the biology pond. Beimdiek Recreation Center is open to all students and faculty/staff/ alumni/university affilates with a membership.
The 85,000 square foot Julio S. Leon Health Sciences Building provides a state-of-the-art training facility for healthcare professionals. The Health Sciences building houses programs in Nursing, Dental Hygiene, Kinesiology, Medical Technology, Psychology, Radiologic Technology and Respiratory Therapy. The building was funded from the Lewis & Clark Discovery Initiative.

ATHLETIC EXCELLENCE In Search of Excellence
It’s exciting to be a part of Missouri Southern athletics, both as a participant and as a fan. The Missouri Southern Lions have been Conference (NSIC or MIAA) Champions in football, men’s and women’s cross country, men’s and women’s track and field, men’s soccer, men’s and women’s basketball, baseball, softball, and tennis. The football team claimed the NAIA Division II National Championship in 1972 and the MidAmerica Intercollegiate Athletics Association title in 1993. The Lions currently have two players on NFL rosters and many others participating in professional sports. The Lions’ softball team has been a participant in regional action, and in 1992 won the NCAA Division II National Championship. The men’s basketball team hosted and won the NCAA Division II South Central Regional Tournament and advanced to the Division II Final Four in 2000, while the baseball team has made numerous trips to the College World Series, finishing second in the nation in 1991. Both MSSU men and women have had national champions in track. In all, Missouri Southern has claimed 51 conference crowns, including 41 since joining the MIAA.
Quality Athletes
Each year Missouri Southern student-athletes are recognized by coaches around the conference as All-MIAA performers, while several also are named to All-America teams. MSSU men and women have been named MIAA Most Valuable Player, Rookie of the Year and Ken B. Jones Award winners (for outstanding studentathlete in the conference), and have also been National Player of the Year honorees, as well as finalists for national awards such as the Harlon Hill Trophy in football. In 2008 and 2009, the women’s cross country and outdoor track and field teams claimed MIAA titles with the 2009 cross country team finishing third in Division II. The Women’s Track and Field and Cross Country team was ranked the fifth best overall program by the Coaches Association in 2009-10, while the men’s program was ranked 9th in 2014-15. The men’ and women’s cross country teams, as well as baseball won MIAA titles in 2014-15. The Men's track and field team won the MIAA Outdoor Title in 2016, while two student-athletes won individual National Championships in the pole vault and 10k. The Southern softball team has appeared in 18 of the last 22 conference tournaments. Men’s basketball has earned 18 straight berths to post season tournament and has an overall record of 237-123 over last nine years. Women’s basketball has gone to 11 of the last 12 conference tourneys and in 2014-15 had its first 20-win season since 1995-96. The golf team was fourth at the regional in 2009.
Solid Students
Of course the primary goal of any institution of higher education is to graduate its students. At Missouri Southern that philosophy is no different. Student-athletes wearing the Green & Gold also get the job done in the classroom. In the last ten years, the Lions have boasted a graduation rate of 77.3 percent. MSSU studentathletes also have maintained cumulative team grade-point averages above the 3.0 mark. For their efforts, Southern’s student-athletes are routinely named to the MIAA Academic Honor Roll teams, as well as the Academic All-MIAA, Presidential Scholar Athlete, and Academic All-District and All-America squads. In all, more than 70 Lions have been named Academic All-America.
Contributors in the Community
Not only do they perform on the field and in the classroom, but Missouri Southern’s Lions are also involved in the Joplin community. They work with such organizations as the Special Olympics, the Ronald McDonald House, the Boy’s and Girl’s Club, Adopt-A-Street, and the Children’s Miracle Network, Rebuild Joplin and are frequently contacted by schools in the area with requests for special visits. Missouri Southern’s studentathletes are frequently invited to serve as hosts and guest speakers for special events in Joplin and the surrounding communities.
Outstanding Facilities
Of course, to be competitive, teams need quality facilities. Missouri Southern has those. The Leggett & Platt Athletic Center, constructed in 1999 with seating for more than 3,200, contains three gymnasiums, an indoor competition track, an incredible weight room and state-of-the-art sports rehabilitation facilities. In addition, Robert Ellis Young Gymnasium includes courts for basketball, racquetball and volley ball, and a six-lane swimming pool. The surfaces for football and outdoor track & field at Fred G. Hughes Stadium underwent a major renovation in 2003. The football field was given a new, top-of-the-line artificial playing surface in 2015 and the all-weather track was equipped with a new all-weather surface, upgrading it to a national meet-caliber facility. A new End Zone Facility at Fred G. Hughes Stadium allowed for upgrades in locker rooms, training room facilities, as well as a state-of-the-art strength and conditioning facility. Other outdoor facilities include lighted tennis courts, several soccer fields, two softball fields and one of the finest cross country courses in the nation. The course hosted regional meets in 1999, 2001, 2004, 2007, 2012, and 2015, as well as the 1999, 2007, 2012, and 2015 NCAA Division II Championships.

LEGGETT & PLATT ATHLETIC CENTER LIONS AT HOME
The 2016-17 season marks the 17th season for the Missouri Southern basketball teams to call the 80,000 square-foot Leggett & Platt Athletic Center home. In their first 14 seasons in the facility, the Lions have posted a record of 173-51 (.783).
The 2016-17 season brings continued excitement to Missouri Southern as the Lions begin their 17th season in the Leggett & Platt Athletic Center. In their first 16 years in the facility, the Lion men have been impressive, reeling off a 160-49 (.766) home ledger. The 1999-00 season was Southern’s first in the new building. And oh, what a first year it was. Missouri Southern went 18-0 in its new home, on the way hosting three games in the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association Postseason Tournament, as well as the 2000 NCAA Division II South Central Regional Tournament. The Leggett & Platt Athletic Center was good to Southern then, too, as the Lions went 5-0 in postseason play, collecting the conference and regional tournament crowns and advancing to the NCAA Division II Elite Eight in Louisville, Ky. The $7.5 million dollar Leggett & Platt Athletic Center was completed in the fall of 1999 and dedicated on Oct. 15 of that year. The 80,000 square-foot facility seats more than 3,200 fans, and has individual chair-back seating on both sides of the court with bleacher seating on one end. The Lion basketball teams play on the arena’s wooden parquet floor with press and event staff seating on either side of the court. The Leggett & Platt Athletic Center also houses two synthetic basketball courts on either end of the main court, and has the capability of hosting volleyball competition. But basketball and volleyball are not the only sports that can be held in the Leggett & Platt Athletic Center. The facility also houses the six-lane, 200-meter indoor Mercy Track, named for and partially funded by Mercy Hospital. The track gives Southern’s track & field teams an indoor training facility and is used to host indoor track & field competition, including the MIAA Championships every other year. Another feature of the Leggett & Platt Athletic Center is the Freeman Fitness Center, which includes a state-of-the-art weight room and athletic training facility. The fitness center was made possible by contributions from Freeman Health Systems. The Athletic Center also houses offices for coaches and administrators, locker rooms, and classrooms. The Leggett & Platt Athletic Center replaced Robert Ellis Young Gymnasium as home of Southern basketball. Southern enjoyed great success in the 1,700-seat Young Gymnasium, posting a record of 288-139 (.674) in 31 years. The Lions closed Young Gymnasium in style, upsetting Pittsburg State University, then ranked No. 1 in NCAA Division II, 80-69 on Feb. 20, 1999. Their longest home-court win streak was 21 games, which took place during the 1969-70 and 1970-71 seasons. The streak began on December 4, 1969 with a 77-51 win over School of the Ozarks, and ended March 2, 1971 with a 75-50 loss to Drury in the championship game of the NAIA District 16 Tournament.

HOME OF THE LIONS
The Missouri Southern men’s basketball team locker room was renamed on June 12, 2003 in honor of Don Gross, the longtime radio voice of the Lions who passed away on Sept. 27, 2002. “This is one way we can honor Don and all he did for Missouri Southern,” head men’s basketball coach Robert Corn said of Gross, whose work with Southern athletics spanned from the late 1960s. The locker room is sponsored by James Foster. Above the lockers are names of former players who have sponsored the lockers. The facility includes oak lockers, a stereo system and television.

HEAD COACH JEFF BOSCHEE HEAD MEN’S BASKETBALL COACH Jeff Boschee is in his third season as the head coach of the Missouri Southern basketball program after serving four seasons as an assistant and associate head coach. He was named the head coach of the Lions on July 1, 2014. Year two saw Boschee help coach the nation’s top scorer as Taevaunn Prince led the NCAA in scoring with 26.4 points per game. Prince was a first-team All-MIAA pick, while also earning All-Region and All-American honors. In the process, Prince broke the MSSU single-season record for scoring and free throws made, while also breaking the MSSU single-season scoring average and career marks in that category. His free-throw total also broke an MIAA record. Austin Wright finished his career as the best three point shooter in MSSU history. He had three of the top four single-season three point percentages, as well as holding the career (265) and single-season three-point marks (88). The Lions, once again, finished in the top three of the MIAA, advancing the the MIAA Tournament before bowing out in the semis against Nebraska-Kearney. The Lions finished the season with an 18-12 record. In his first season as the head coach, Boschee led the team to a 20-11 record and the second-straight trip to the MIAA Tournament Finale. He also helped mentor sharpshooter Austin Wright as Wright set the single-game (9) and single-season (79) MSSU three-point record. Since Boschee has arrived at Southern, the Lions have went 106-44, made four concecutive MIAA tournaments and had trips to three of the last four NCAA Division II postseason tournaments, while claiming the 2010-11 MIAA regular season championship, and the 2013-14 post-season tournament championship. The 2010-11 team set the MIAA record for conference wins in a season with 19. Under Boschee’s leadership, former Lion Skyler Bowlin was the MIAA’s Player and Defender of the Year in 2011. He was a first-team All-MIAA, All-Region and All-American selection, being named to three different All-America teams. He was also the Region Player of the Year and a finalist for the National Player of the Year. Bowlin signed a professional contract to play basketball in the German Pro League after completing his eligibility and has since moved on to playing in Denmark. Boschee spent three years at the Barstow School in Kansas City where in 2010 his team went 22-4. He had multiple players named All-Conference and All-District and helped guide two of his players to college scholarships under his tutelage. He was the Big 12 Freshman of the Year in 1999-2000 and was a third team All-Big 12 pick his senior season. He helped lead the Jayhawks to a Final Four appearance in 2002 and previously held the conference record for three pointers made in a career with 338.

2016-17 SEASON PREVIEW Dave Barr MSSU Athletic Media Relations Every few years, you get a season like Missouri Southern head basketball coach Jeff Boschee is facing this campaign. Whether through a combination of graduation, defections or players who simply want to finish school and move on - you have to restructure a roster.
other’s styles of play, determine who the leaders will be and learn the ins and outs of a motion offense and what the Lions hope will be a stingy defense. “Chemistry was my biggest concern,” Boschee said. “It started this summer connecting everyone as for leadership, it’s still out there but we’ve brought in some guys who have experience and who we believe that can lead us.”
Ten new players along with the return of four from last year’s 16-11 squad (two of whom redshirted) will wear the green and gold beginning with the season opener November 11.
Senior center Isaac Kreuer saw the most time of anyone returning from last year averaging 4.8 points per game in a little over 13-minutes per contest.
“At first the process and knowing that we only had five-points per game returning was stressful,” Boschee said. “We had a long recruiting season and just finished up a week after school started. It was a huge waiting game but I think we did a great job of bringing in good character kids who really fit the culture we want. It’s been fun though It’s like a fresh start getting to know new kids and their families. Let’s remember that when Central Missouri won it all a couple of years ago that had nine new players so it can be done if done right.”
“Kreuer has done some really nice things for us in the preseason,” Boschee said of the Lions returner. “We need him to be a bigger presence inside at 6-10 and he’s working hard. Hopefully we can count on him to fill some voids and improve from a year ago.”
A combination of Division I transfers and junior college players will be counted on to lead Southern led by forward and Mercer graduate transfer Lawrence Brown and Southern Illinois Edwardsville guard CJ Carr. “Lawrence is a kid that I actually helped coach in high school in Kansas City,” Boschee said. “He’s a graduate transfer after finishing up at Mercer. We stayed on him and it worked out for us. He’s a kid who understands what student-athlete means. CJ Carr is a guard who can get to the lane at will and can shoot it from the outside. He’s a pest defensively. We haven’t got to see LJ Ross play since he transferred from Arkansas-Ft. Smith because of injury. He’s healthy and we expect big things from him.” A talented but mature freshman class accustomed to winning will be counted on to provide depth and valuable minutes. “We were fortunate to be able to bring in a really talented freshman class,” Boschee said. “Kinzer Lambert comes to us from Owasso, Oklahoma. Elyjah Clarke went to the state tournament in Oklahoma a couple of times at Deer Creek. Parker Jennings comes from a great program at Bixby.” Each year there are factors that equal success and that a team and coaching staff cling to over a long, relentless season. Chemistry, ownership of roles and the continued development of a basketball IQ are a few of those. This season’s Lions will have to depend on each of those as they have little time to adjust to each

Boschee did himself no favors with this year’s schedule. A season opening tournament in St. Cloud, MN. versus host St. Cloud State and Minnesota State - Mankato begins a tough slate of non-conference affairs which also includes an exhibition in Carbondale against Southern Illinois-Carbondale. “St. Cloud is a very talented team with key guys returning and have a couple of Division 1 transfers,” Boschee said. “If we can go up there and get a couple of wins in the challenge we’ll feel really good about ourselves. These are really important games to help get into the NCAA Tournament. We are excited about it and will be challenging for our kids and will help us as the season continues on. I’m kicking myself a little for this schedule but it will definitely help us get better quickly.” Despite all of the new faces, the coaches tabbed Southern to finish fifth in the MIAA. Northwest Missouri was a unanimous selection to win the conference after taking home the regular season title as well as the conference tournament title a year ago. The MIAA schedule is grueling and begins with Fort Hays State on December 1 followed by a road contest at Missouri Western. “The MIAA is such a good conference,” Boschee said laughing. “Lincoln isn’t a write in win any more. I think our schedule helps us with the home games we have. We have to win at home and sneak out some wins on the road. Northwest is going to be really good. Emporia State I think could surprise some this season if they can put it together.”

The Huskies, however, stormed back and took a 20-19 lead after a three from Alcantara at the 11:12 mark. SCSU led 27-24 with 7:17 to play, before Brown took the game into his own hands. Brown converted a three point play to tie the score at 27 and then the next trip down scored on a jumper to give the Loions a 29-27 lead they would not give up. Brown scored 12 points in that stretch to put Southern up 36-32 at the under five media timeout. A layup from Prince, and a pair of three’s from Brown then put the Lions up by 12 (44-32) with 2:45 left in the half. The Lions led by 11 at the break. A three from Prince early on in the second half gave Southern a 14-point lead, but a three from the Huskies’ Stone cut the lead to just six at 52-46.

Joplin, Mo. --The Missouri Southern men’s basketball team led 31-28 at the half, but Minnesota State - Mankato scored 51 second-half points en route to a 79-67 win over the Lions in the final game of the MIAA-NSIC Challenge held inside the Leggett & Platt Athletic Center tonight.

The lead would be 13 (68-55) before the Lions went on a 10-0 run capped off by a three-point play from Prince to cut the score to 68-65 with 1:48 to go. That would be as close as the Lions would get, however, as MSU made its free-throws down the stretch to secure the win.

MSU hit just 41 percent from the field in the game, but shot 51 percent in the second half to fuel the win.

The Cardinals re-took the lead at 51-50 after a free throw from Javier De La Blanca with 9:39 to go, but a pair of free throws from Feitl with 9:07 left gave the Lions a 52-51 lead they wouldn’t relinquish.

Topeka, Kan. -- Taevaunn Prince picked up his eighth 30-point performance of the season as the Missouri Southern men’s basketball team won its third in a row with a 103-95 defeat of Washburn inside Lee Arena tonight. Southern (14-9, 11-6 MIAA) was led by Prince’s perfect performance as he went 10-10 from the field, 2-2 from long-range and 10-10 from the free-throw line, scoring 32 points and adding nine rebounds and six assists. He also moved up the all-time scoring list at MSSU as he now has 1,129 points and is in 14th place all by him self in MSSU career history. Bruce Marshall had a career-high 22 points, as well, going 8-11 from the field and 2-4 from long range with a 4-4 performance at the charity stripe. He added six rebounds and three blocks. Austin Wright went 5-10 from three-point land as he scored 19 and Charlie Brown added ten points of his own. Washburn (12-9, 8-8 MIAA) was led by Brady Skeens as he had 20 points and 22 rebounds. Javion Blake and Christian Ulsaker scored 20 each, while Randall Smith dished out 16 assists. A pair of free throws from the Ichabods’ Robert Christopher with 13:08 left gave Washburn a 21-18 lead, but the Lions then went on a 13-2 run to go up 31-21 after a three from Wright with 9:37 to go in the first half. The Southern lead reached 11 after a three from Marshall with 4:53 to go and the Lions took a 49-39 lead into the locker room at the break. Washburn chipped away at the Lions’ lead in the second half, cutting the advantage to just four (53-49) with 17:20 to go, but a layup from Isaac Kreuer with 14:13 to go gave Southern a 12-point lead (68-56). The Lions led by 12 one more time, but Washburn then tied the game at 74 with 8:45 to go after a dunk from Skeens. Southern, however, would never relinquish the lead and the Lions led by as many as 11 late after a pair of free throws from Marshall with 20 seconds to go. The Lions shot 56 percent from the field, 46 percent from long-range and 91 percent from the free-throw line.
Joplin, Mo. -- The Missouri Southern men’s basketball team nearly completed an epic comeback, but the Lions fell 83-78 tonight to Nebraska-Kearney on Robert Corn Court inside the Leggett & Platt Athletic Center. Southern (14-10, 11-7 MIAA) was led by 30 points from Taevaunn Prince, his ninth 30-point game of the season. Prince had eight rebounds, going 11-18 from the field, 2-2 from long-range and 6-6 from the free throw line. Charlie Brown scored 22 points, going 10-13 from the field, adding four rebounds and two steals. DJ Feitl had nine points. Both teams traded baskets until a layup from Ty Danielson for UNK gave the Lopers a 6-4 lead with 15:27 in the first. A three from Feitl with 12:10 left in the half, however, gave the Lions a 14-11 lead. UNK tied the game back up on back-to-back possessions with three pointers and took a three-point lead after a jumper from Beranek with 10:17 left in the half. From then, the Lopers went on a 15-4 run to go up 34-20 after a jumper from Ethan Brozek with 4:57 to go. The lead reached 19 twice in the half, but a three from Feitl as time was expiring made the score 45-29 at the break. The Kearney lead reached 20 (55-35) after a jumper from Beranek, but the Lions proceeded to go on a 12-0 run and trailed 55-47 after a layup from Brown. An Austin Wright layup with 9:26 to go in the half cut the UNK lead to seven (56-59) and a three from Wright with 8:29 left cut the lead to just four (58-54). The Lopers opened up a ten-point lead (66-56) with 5:53 left in the game, but the Lions slowly chipped away and a three from Brown with 49 seconds left made the score 77-73, UNK. After the Lopers went back up by five (78-73), Brown hit a layup and then stole the inbounds pass before finding Prince open on the left side for three to cut the lead to just one (79-78) with 28 seconds left. That would be as close as the Lions got, however, as the Lopers made their free throws down the stretch and escaped with the five-point win.

Coming out of the break, a three from Prince and a pair of free throws from Brown put the Lions on top 46-44 with 17:21 to go.

A three from Brown got Southern to within six (15-9) with 10:57 left, but the Mules pushed their lead back to 15 (33-18) after a free throw from Williams Gabriel with 3:05 left. From there, however, the Lions closed the half on an 8-1 run and trailed 34-26 going into the break. After being held scoreless in the first, Prince picked up his first points of the game on a layup with 16:30 to go in the second half. That bucket cut the lead to just two (39-37). A pair of freebies from Wright the next trip down tied the game at 39 and a set of free throws from Brown with 14:23 to go gave the Lions their first lead of the game at 41-39. It also marked a 22-6 run by the Lions to take the lead. Both teams traded baskets, but Central had a six point cushion (52-46) after a three from Cunningham with 11:35 left.

2015-16 BOX SCORES Game 28 • Feb. 27, 2016 @ Lions 86, Pittsburg State 82 Joplin, Mo. - The Missouri Southern men’s basketball team had an eight-point lead at the half and held on to win 86-82 over visiting Pittsburg State today on Robert Corn Court inside the Leggett & Platt Athletic Center. Southern (17-11, 14-8 MIAA) earns the No. 3 seed to the MIAA Tournament and will earn a bye to Kansas City. The Lions will play the winner of the Washburn Missouri Western game at noon on Friday at Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City. The Lions were led in scoring by Taevaunn Prince as the senior scored all but four of his points in the second half. He went 8-14 from the field, added 12 rebounds and went 9-9 from the free throw line, increasing his MIAA and MSSU single-season record to 262 made free throws on the season. Charlie Brown scored 20 points on 6-10 shooting and 2-3 from long-range, while Austin Wright scored 15 points on 4-8 from the three point line. Greg Renfroe scored 7 points and added six points and five blocks. Pitt (16-12, 11-11 MIAA) had three score in double-figures, led by 29 points from Trey Starks. Both teams traded leads throughout the first part of the first half, but a three from Brown with 6:44 left in the half, put the Lions up 29-25. Southern led by eight twice in the half, the second being after a layup from Renfroe that made the halftime score 41-33. The Lions led by ten three times early in the second half, the last coming off a jumper from Renfroe to put Southern up 47-37 with 16:48 to go in the half. The lead reached 12 (61-49) after a jumper from Prince with 11:43 to go, but Pitt cut the Lions’ lead to four on multiple occasions down the stretch, but a dunk and a free throw from Renfroe with 1:59 left put the Lions up by seven (81-74). A three from Javis Flynn, however, cut the lead to just three (85-82) with seven seconds left, but a free-throw from Taylor Luster with five seconds left, put the game away. The Lions shot 52 percent from the field and 53 percent from long range, while making 89 percent of their free throws. The Lions had a 29-27 advantage in rebounds and out scored the Gorillas 31-26 in the paint.

Game 29 • March 4, 2016 Lions 82, Western 70
Game 30 • March 5, 2016 Nebraska-Kearney 80, Lions 61
Kansas City, Mo. - The Missouri Southern men’s basketball team used three separate runs in the second half and defeated Missouri Western 82-70 today in the quarterfinals of the 2016 MIAA Tournament, played inside Municipal Auditorium. Southern (18-11) got another huge game from All-MIAA performer Taevaunn Prince as the senior led the team with 31 points, eight rebounds and four assists. He went 11-15 from the field and 8-9 from the free throw line. DJ Feitl had 18 points off the bench, going 5-7 from the field, 4-4 from both long-range and the charity stripe. Charlie Brown scored 17 points, all in the second half as he was a perfect 7-7 from the free throw line. Prince also moved up the scoring record books at MSSU. His 31 points today give him 1,288 in his career, passing Russell Bland for 11th all-time and also making him the all-time leading scorer in Southern history for a two-year player. Western (12-18) had three score in double-figures led by 23 from Aaron Emmanuel. After the Griffons opened up a 6-0 lead to start the game, and led by six (10-4) with 13:44 to go in the first half, the Lions fought back and went on a 9-2 run to take a one-point lead (13-12) after a three from Austin Wright midway through the half. Western, again led in the half, the latest coming at 28-27 with 1:29 go Southern used a three from Feitl with 56 seconds left to go up two and led 30-29 at the break. In the second half, the two teams traded baskets and leads before Western took a 48-44 lead with 11:51 to go after a free throw from Currie Byrd. That, however, was when the Lions took shape. Southern went on a 7-0 run to go up 51-48 with 10:05 left and used two more runs down the stretch, 12-6 and 8-0, the last putting Southern up 71-60 with 2:18 to go. The Lions shot 50 percent from the field and 47 percent from long-range, while making 85 percent of their free throws (23-27). Southern out rebounded Western 30-29, and the Lions’ bench out scored Western 26-8 on the afternoon.
Kansas City, Mo. - The Missouri Southern men’s basketball team led 19-11 with a little over eight minutes to play in the first half, but Nebraska-Kearney closed the half on a 24-4 run and the Lions could not come back, falling 80-61 to the Lopers in the MIAA Tournament semifinals. Southern (18-12) will now have to await its fate for the NCAA Tournament as the brackets will be announced on Sunday evening. DJ Feitl had a career-high 19 points on the night, going 6-12 from the field and 4-5 from long-range. Taevaunn Prince scored 15 points and added 12 rebounds, while Charlie Brown scored 12. UNK (20-10) had three score in double-figures, led by Connor Beranek with 35 points and 13 rebounds. The Lions led 11-5 early on after a three from Austin Wright and the lead was eight (19-11) after a layup from Prince with 8:41 to go in the first half. UNK, however, started a 24-4 run that would end the half and the Lopers led 35-23 at the break. The lead reached 19 (45-26) in the second half after a jumper from Beranek with 16:24 left in the frame. Back-to-back tip in’s from Greg Renfroe, the later coming at 5:41, cut the lead to nine (64-55), but that would be as close as the Lions would get. The Lions shot just 33 percent from the field and 43 percent from the three-point line. Southern made 85 percent of its free throws. If this is the end of the season for the Lions, Prince will go down as one of the most decorated men’s basketball players in MSSU history and the highest-scoring two-year player ever at MSSU. He finishes his career with 1,303 points, a record 791 this season, as well as the MSSU and MIAA single-season record for free throws with 273. He is the all-time leader in single-season and career scoring average (26.4 and 21.4, respectively), while also ranking second in career free throw percentage with .838.
