THE SOUTHLAND CONFERENCE

SOUTHLAND CONFERENCE

In an era of considerable change in intercollegiate athletics, the Southland Conference continues to be a model of innovation, stability and consistent achievement as it celebrates a half-century of the academic and athletic accomplishments of its member institutions.

Commemorating its 50th anniversary in 2013, the Southland Conference has transformed itself into a dynamic and respected consortium of 14 member universities in four states. Beginning with a historic meeting of five institutions in Dallas on March 15, 1963, the Southland Conference set on an extraordinary course that has proven successful well into its five decades of existence.

The successful transformation continues, as the Southland Conference welcomed the addition of Oral Roberts University in 2012-13, marking the league’s first entry into the state of Oklahoma. Also, on July 1, 2013, the Southland welcomed four additional members: Abilene Christian University, Houston Baptist University, the University of Incarnate Word in San Antonio, and the University of New Orleans.

In addition to its newest members, the Southland Conference also consists of the University of Central Arkansas, Lamar University, McNeese State University, Nicholls State University, Northwestern State University, Sam Houston State University, Southeastern Louisiana University, Stephen F. Austin State University and Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi.

An original Southland member, ACU rejoins the league as one of the most decorated athletic programs in NCAA history, and the addition of HBU, UIW and UNO gives the Southland a regular competitive presence in the key metropolitan areas of Houston, San Antonio and New Orleans. Southland cities encompass approximately 14.5 million people, and seven of its television markets rank among the top 100 in the U.S. All told, the membership of the Southland encompasses nearly 140,000 current students and an alumni base of nearly 800,000. Famous alums from current Southland Conference schools include former CBS news anchor Dan Rather (Sam Houston State), NBA executive Joe Dumars (McNeese State), ABC news anchor Robin Roberts (Southeastern Louisiana), Major League Baseball star Wade Miley (Southeastern Louisiana), NBA legend Scottie Pippen (Central Arkansas), and track and field Olympians Kenta Bell (Northwestern State), and Bobby Morrow and Billy Olson (both Abilene Christian).

Other notable alums from current members include

Grammy Award-winning musicians Frank Ocean (New Orleans), Don Henley and Rodney Crowell (both Stephen F. Austin), and Ronnie Dunn (Abilene Christian), television personality and actress Ellen DeGeneres (New Orleans), current NFL standouts Lardarius Webb (Nicholls State), Terrence McGee (Northwestern State), and Daniel Manning (Abilene Christian), professional golfers Shawn Stefani and Chris Stroud (both Lamar) and Colin Montgomerie (HBU), award-winning filmmaker Richard Linklater (Sam Houston State), American Idol winner Kris Allen (Central Arkansas), NFL Hall of Famer Jackie Harris (Northwestern State), former NFL standouts Bobby Hebert (Northwestern State), Gary Barbaro (Nicholls State), Wilbert Montgomery (Abilene Christian) and Gary Reasons (Northwestern State), former MLB stars Darryl Hamilton (Nicholls State) and Kevin Millar (Lamar), NCAA football coach Charlie Strong (Central Arkansas), TV personality Kathie Lee Gifford (Oral Roberts), actors John Larroquette (New Orleans), and Ricardo Chavira and Jesse Borrego (both UIW) and NFL coaching legend O.A. “Bum” Phillips (Lamar and Stephen F. Austin).

The Southland sponsors 17 championship sports, all at the NCAA Division I level. The eight men’s sports include baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis, and indoor and outdoor track and field. The women compete for nine championships in basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, indoor and outdoor track and field, and volleyball. The conference earns automatic qualification to NCAA championships in baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, football, men’s and women’s golf, women’s soccer, softball, men’s and women’s tennis, and volleyball.

Continuing its tradition of innovation, the league launched the Southland Conference Television Network in the fall of 2008 and has broadcast more than 160 events. The network has expanded its reach to roughly 13 million households throughout Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Oklahoma in recent years, and has also gained national viewership through ESPN3 and Fox College Sports. In its first five years, the network has received recognition for its work, earning numerous College Sports Media and Telly Awards.

The Southland Conference, in conjunction with the city of Frisco, Texas, and Hunt Sports Group, also serves as the host to the NCAA Division I Football Championship Game in Frisco, which has been home to the conference headquarters since 2006. The game is played at Frisco’s FC Dallas Stadium, and after a successful three-year run,

the partnership was rewarded with a three-year renewal to serve as the national championship host site through the 2015 season.

Southland Conference football ranks among the best Football Championship Subdivision leagues in the nation, and enjoys an annual expectation of competing for the national championship with multiple teams advancing to the NCAA playoffs each year. In 2011 and 2012, Sam Houston State advanced to the NCAA national championship game.

Also, in 2002 and 2003, McNeese State finished the regular season ranked No. 1 in the nation, and advanced to the 2002 national championship contest. The conference has been represented in eight national championship games since the league joined the FCS (formerly I-AA) in 1982. All told, Southland teams have played in 104 Division I playoff games in 31 years, winning 51 of the contests.

Historically, the Southland’s successful football heritage has sustained itself through numerous membership and classification changes. The Southland joined the NCAA College Division in 1968, and was designated as NCAA Division II in 1973 before joining Division I in 1975. The Southland was an NCAA Division I-A league from 1978-81, before joining the ranks of FCS in 1982, its home ever since.

During its tenure as a Division I-A conference, the Southland Conference initiated the startup of the Shreveport, La.-based Independence Bowl in 1976. The Southland representative served as the host team of the bowl until 1980, compiling a 2-3 record in those contests.

The conference can lay claim to five national championships, including College Division championships through former members Arkansas State (1970, UPI) and Louisiana Tech (1972, National Football Foundation).

Louisiana Tech also won the first NCAA-sanctioned national title, winning the Division II playoffs in 1973. Tech followed that with the UPI’s Division II national championship in 1974.

Louisiana-Monroe won the 1987 Division I-AA national championship.

McNeese State, which has made 14 appearances in the national playoffs, also played in the 1997 NCAA Division I Championship game, while Stephen F. Austin played in the 1989 title contest and has six playoff appearances, including 2009 and 2010. Northwestern State has played in the playoffs six times, and advanced to the semifinals in 1998, while Sam Houston State has earned six trips to the postseason, including the semifinals in 2004. Nicholls State has participated three times in the playoffs, and

Joe Dumars, McNeese State

Dan Rather, Sam Houston State

Central Arkansas has made consecutive playoff appearances in 2011 and 2012. On four occasions, the Southland has placed three teams in the NCAA playoffs.

The Southland has produced 168 first-team football All-Americans during its history and in 2010, Stephen F. Austin quarterback Jeremy Moses became the first player in Southland history to receive the Walter Payton Award, which is presented annually to the most outstanding football player at the FCS level.

The Southland is one of five FCS conferences with at least 200 selections (206) in the National Football League draft. There have been 26 Southland players taken in the draft since 2000, including Southeastern Louisiana defensive back Robert Alford, who was picked as the first FCS player in the second round of the 2013 draft. There are 20 former Southland players on NFL rosters heading into the 2013 season.

Southland Conference alums in the NFL include Buffalo’s Terrence McGee (Northwestern State) and Chicago’s Josh McCown (Sam Houston State), who have each been in the league for the last 11 seasons. Other recent NFL additions from the Southland include Green Bay’s Kevin Hughes (Southeastern Louisiana), St. Louis’ Jabara Williams (Stephen F. Austin) Washington’s Devin Holland (McNeese State), Atlanta’s Marcus Jackson (Lamar) and Cleveland’s Dominique Croom (Central Arkansas).

The Southland has seen former Nicholls State players win Super Bowl rings in two of the last three seasons, as former Colonel Antonio Robinson was a member of the Green Bay Packers’ Super Bowl XLV champions. And, Nicholls-ex Lardarius Webb was a member of the Super Bowl XLVII champion Baltimore Ravens.

Among the former NFL stars from the Southland include Fred Dean, who was inducted to the Professional Football Hall of Fame in 2008 to become the first former Southland Conference player to earn induction in Canton. Other great NFL players from the Southland include Super Bowl XXIX quarterback Stan Humphries, Bill Bergey, Mike Barber, Fred Barnett, Bubby Brister, Ray Brown, Roger Carr, Larry Centers, Bruce Collie, Jackie Harris, Buford Jordan, Tim McKyer, Kavika Pittman, Billy Ryckman, Rickey Sanders, Eugene Seale, Rafael Septien, Terrance Shaw, Marcus Spears, Pat Tilley and Marvin Upshaw.

The Southland Conference has also seen its share of great coaches during its history in Maxie Lambright, Ernie Duplechin, Sam Goodwin, Jack Doland, Bennie Ellender, Bobby Keasler, Larry Lacewell, Bill Davidson, Dennis Franchione, Pat Collins, and Ron Randleman.

In addition to football, the Southland Conference can point to a number of accomplishments in all sports.

Men’s basketball has experienced a tremendous amount of success during the Southland’s 50 years. The league has sent four teams to the NCAA Sweet Sixteen, as well as a squad to the NIT Final Four. Basketball stars Karl Malone, Joe Dumars, Jeff Foster, Dwight “Bo” Lamar, Andrew Toney and Mike Oliver played in the Southland Conference. In 2006, Northwestern State, playing as the No. 14 seed in the NCAA tournament, defeated No. 3 seed Iowa, 64-63, in first-round action. The league also saw three of its current teams, including newcomer Oral Roberts, reach the postseason in 2012.

Coaches such as Billy Tubbs, Mike Vining, Scotty Robertson, Jack Martin, Andy Russo, Bob Marlin, Danny Kaspar, Mike McConathy, Bobby Paschal and Pat Foster have led successful teams in the Southland.

In women’s basketball, the Southland also has its share of tradition with former member Louisiana-Monroe advancing to the 1985 NCAA Women’s Final Four, and Stephen F. Austin sustaining itself as one of the most successful programs in the history of the sport. In 2008, the Ladyjacks became the eighth program in NCAA Division I history to record more than 800 wins.

In each of the last four seasons, at least three Southland teams reached the postseason, and in 2012, four women’s squads earned postseason berths. A Southland team has played in the WNIT 13 times, including each of the last seven years. Women’s basketball all-stars have included Eun Jung Lee, Lisa Ingram, Portia Hill, Deneen Parker, Katrina Price, and Joskeen Garner, and coaches such as Gary Blair, Linda Sharp, James Smith and Linda Harper.

Baseball has emerged as a constant Southland Conference strength with the league earning numerous national rankings and NCAA tournament berths. The Southland consistently ranks among the top-10 conferences in the country. In 2011, 50 of the league’s 150 nonconference victories came against the Big 12, Conference

USA, Sun Belt and SEC. Major leaguers such as Ben Sheets, Micah Hoffpauir, Hunter Pence, David Segui, Brian Lawrence, Ben Broussard, Chuck Finley, Jerald Clark, and Terry Matthews once played in the Southland.

In 2012, Southeastern Louisiana’s Stefan Lopez became the league’s second winner of the national Stopper of the Year Award, which is selected by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers. Sam Houston State’s Luke Prihoda won the award in 2007. Only the Big 12 has had more players win this award.

The Southland also fares well each year in the Major League Draft, but for the first time in conference history, two Southland players were selected in the first round of the 2013 draft. Stephen F. Austin shortstop Hunter Dozier was picked eighth by the Kansas City Royals making the Southland player and hitter of the year the league’s top draft pick in any sport. Later in the first round, the Texas Rangers selected Oral Roberts right-handed pitcher Alex Gonzalez, Southland pitcher of the year, with the 23rd overall pick.

The Southland has had eight first-round picks in its history.

In 2011, Lamar mentor Jim Gilligan became the first Southland coach to reach 1,200 career victories, ranking him sixth-best in the NCAA among active Division I coaches and 24th all-time. He leads an impressive list of coaches who have patrolled Southland Conference dugouts, including Mark Johnson, Mike Bianco, John Cohen, Mitch Gaspard, Smoke Laval, Butch McBroom, Pat Patterson, Tony Robichaux, Dave Van Horn and Jim Wells.

Softball continues to enjoy success on a national level, beating nationally-ranked opponents every year since 1995, including McNeese State’s win at No. 1 Arizona State early in the 2012 season. In 2011, the league had four wins against ranked opponents, including a win by Stephen F. Austin at No. 3 Texas. In 20 years of NCAA tournament competition the Southland has racked up 15 wins.

The Southland also has a proud history in volleyball with former member Texas-Arlington representing the conference numerous times in the NCAA tournament, including a run to the NCAA Volleyball Final Four in 1989.

Track and field has also served as a proud asset for the Southland Conference as the league has produced numerous national champions and Olympic medalists. The Southland boasts 28 men and three women student-athletes who have

With the addition of 10 more All-Americans in 2012, the league continues to find national success in both indoor and outdoor track and field. In the indoor circuit, the Southland boasts 66 unique all-time All-Americans that have won a combined 11 national championships. Likewise, in the outdoor season, the league has seen 158 different All-Americans, including 128 men and 30 women, who have combined to win 21 national championships.

Golf has traditionally been a strong Southland sport as exemplified by Lamar men’s golfer Chris Stroud, who finished third individually at the 2003 NCAA National Championship and is a member of the PGA Tour. Both Stroud and former Southeastern Louisiana golfer Hugo Leon competed in the 2010 U.S. Open. Lamar alum Shawn Stefani had a pair of top seven finishes through the midway point of the 2013 PGA tour. The league has sent multiple teams into postseason play on numerous occasions, including in 2012 when three Southland teams – Lamar, Southeastern Louisiana and Texas-Arlington – competed in the NCAA tournament.

Additionally, during the past five seasons the Southland has sent 12 golfers to compete as individuals in regional play with five in 2009, three more in 2010, one each in 2011 and 2012 and two in 2013. Lamar won a pair of NCAA Division II national championships in 1967 and 1968, and also produced PGA player Ronnie Black.

In 2005, Lamar’s Dawie Van Der Walt finished fourth individually and Lamar tied for 12th place at the NCAA Men’s Golf Championship, before the Cardinals tied for ninth in 2006 and tied for third in 2007. Former Lamar golfer Casey Clendenon advanced to the semifinals of the U.S. Amateur in 2007.

In women’s tennis, Southeastern Louisiana won 46 consecutive conference matches during a four-year period that began in 2005, while in men’s tennis Texas A&M-Corpus Christi has played in the NCAA tournament five times in the last seven years.

The conference has increased sponsorship and championship opportunities for female student-athletes in recent years, adding women’s golf and soccer as league sports.

In women’s soccer, Stephen F. Austin midfielder Kylie Louw became the first player in conference history to earn All-America honors, when she earned third-team mention by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America. A member of the South Africa Olympic team during the 2012 London Olympics, she also garnered first-team Academic All-America Honors from the College Sports Information Directors of America. The Ladyjacks have gone 72-12-8 (.826) in conference play during the last 10 seasons.

In women’s golf, the Southland sent two teams to 2012 NCAA regional play for the first time since the league added the sport in 2002. Lamar leads all league teams with four team championships during that span.

The Southland Conference has repeatedly demonstrated its commitment to the academic and athletic success of its student-athletes. With the F.L. McDonald Postgraduate Scholarship Award, the league annually honors one male and one female scholar-athlete with a stipend for postgraduate study. The Scholar-Athlete Award is given to each institution’s male and female student-athlete with the highest grade-point average. The Steve McCarty Citizenship Award, initiated in 2005-06 and named after the former Stephen F. Austin athletic director, properly recognizes accomplishments off the court for a male and female student-athlete. Also, student-athletes with grade-

point averages above 3.0 are honored on the Southland’s annual All-Academic teams and Commissioner’s Honor Roll. A record 979 student-athletes appeared on the honor roll following the 2012 spring semester, and total of 1,545 student-athletes earned a spot on the honor roll at the end of the fall and spring semesters during the 2012-13 academic year.

While successful on the fields and courts, the Southland Conference has repeatedly demonstrated its commitment to the academic and athletic success of its student-athletes.

The conference continues to make great strides in the classroom. During the last seven years, no other Division I conference has improved its Academic Progress Rate as well as the Southland Conference has. In fact, in 2009-10, the Southland ranked 10th among the 31 Division I leagues in men’s basketball APR. The academic progress the league has shown ultimately leads to higher graduation rates for our student-athletes.

In addition to providing expanding opportunities for student-athletes, the Southland Conference and its member institutions are very involved in various community outreach programs. Many of these programs provide positive life skills training such as academics, citizenship and leadership to school-aged students in Southland communities.

SOUTHLAND COMMISSIONER TOM BURNETT Southland Conference Commissioner 11th Year Joined Southland: Dec. 23, 2002 Alma Mater: Louisiana Tech, 1988

Tom Burnett was named the Southland Conference’s sixth commissioner on Dec. 23, 2002, and brought a diverse background in athletics administration experience at the conference and national levels. Now the second-longest tenured full-time commissioner in league history, Burnett is now in his 11th year of service with the Southland, and has a conference administrative background reaching nearly 25 years.

Burnett has helped to enhance the Southland’s membership, with the 2012 addition of Oral Roberts University, and this summer’s entry of Houston Baptist University, the University of New Orleans, Abilene Christian University and the University of the Incarnate Word in 2013-14. The additional member institutions give the Southland 14 members, the league’s largest configuration in its half-century of existence.

The league’s television exposure has expanded under his watch with the creation of the Southland Conference Television Network in 2008. This broadcast venture has since featured over 150 unique sports and promotional telecasts to a potential viewing audience of more than 13 million television households. The Southland also signed a multi-year agreement with the ESPN family of networks in 2010, and the league has enjoyed beneficial relationships with Fox Sports Net Southwest, Cox Sports Television and Comcast SportsNet Houston.

He also led the successful community-wide effort to bring the 2011-13 NCAA Division I Football Championship Games to Frisco, Texas, as the Southland serves as the host conference for the national title contests at FC Dallas Stadium. The NCAA recently renewed the agreement to keep

the national championship game in Frisco through the 2016 event. A leading proponent for the Football Championship Subdivision, Burnett also organized the FCS Summit, a national gathering of athletic directors, commissioners, NCAA staff and other key football stakeholders held annually prior to the national championship games in Frisco.

A former member of both the NCAA’s Division I Committee on Academic Performance and the Division I Football Academic Working Group, Burnett also served as the FCS Vice President for the Collegiate Commissioners Association (CCA) in 2007-08. He currently serves on the NCAA’s FCS Working Group that consists of presidents, commissioners, athletic directors and coaches. He is also a member of the Board of Directors for NCAA Football, the organization that serves to improve, promote and protect college football for those who play, coach and support the game.

In 2004, Burnett also began the league’s renewed efforts to secure corporate sponsorships. Since then, the Southland has secured sponsorship agreements with State Farm Insurance, Capital One Bank, Toyota, American Airlines, Royal Purple Motor Oil, Best Western Hotels, O’Reilly Auto Parts, BellSouth, Aeropostale, Holiday Inn, MidSouth Bank, Academy Sports and Outdoors, and Advantage Rent-A-Car. He also initiated efforts to bring the Southland Conference basketball tournaments to a neutral site in the Houston area, giving the league a year-end celebration of the sport at a centralized location near much of the Southland’s largest alumni and student bases.

Prior to joining the Southland, Burnett spent nearly 11 years in a number of roles with the Sun Belt Conference,

including stints as associate and assistant commissioner, and director of communications. He also served two years on the staff of the American South Conference, and started his career on the athletic staff at Louisiana Tech University.

His previous responsibilities included championships administration, public and media relations, television production and negotiation, scheduling, marketing, NCAA championship and committee service, and football bowl experience.

While at the Sun Belt, Burnett worked in the development of football as a league-sponsored sport, and was an administrator with the New Orleans Bowl, which began in 2001. He also produced the Sun Belt’s television packages with ESPN Regional Television, which debuted in 2002. In addition, he has experience negotiating television agreements with regional sports networks such as Fox Sports Net, Comcast/Charter Sports Southeast and numerous local television stations and cable systems.

He also provided oversight of Sun Belt championship events and administered more than 100 league tournaments.

In 2000, he began exclusively administering the Sun Belt’s men’s and women’s basketball tournaments, which grew from minimal financial successes into events that grossed the conference $1.2 million during a three-year period.

Burnett has also served in an administrative capacity with numerous NCAA events, including national championships in men’s and women’s basketball, track and field, baseball and volleyball.

He represented the Southland Conference on the NCAA Division I Management Council in 2004-05, and served on the Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) Governance Committee from 2004-06. Burnett previously served on the NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel, and the NCAA Baseball Rules Committee.

Burnett, 49, is a native of Houston, Texas, and is a 1988 graduate of Louisiana Tech University, where he studied journalism and spent one year as the sports editor of the school’s student newspaper.

He and his wife Tracy, a native of Baton Rouge, La., are the parents of a son, Cole, and a daughter, Jesse.

2012-13 COMMISSIONER’S CUP

Southland Conference Commissioner Tom Burnett and Sam Houston State Athletics Director Bobby Williams

SOUTHLAND CONFERENCE

On the strength of four regular-season team championships and 10 top-three finishes, Sam Houston State claimed its fourth Southland Conference Commissioner’s Cup during the 2012-13 academic year.

Sam Houston State compiled 126 points to edge last year’s cup winner, Stephen F. Austin, which scored 120 points. The Bearkats won their last Commissioner’s Cup in 2007, which capped a three-year run with the Cup for Sam Houston State. Since 2007, Sam Houston has finished fifth in the Commissioner’s Cup standings every year before reclaiming it this year. Sam Houston is one of two current Southland universities to win at least two Commission’s Cups, along with Stephen F. Austin.

The Sam Houston women total 72.0 points to win its first women’s all-sports trophy in program history. Since 2003, the Bearkat women have finished in the top four seven times with two second-place finishes.

The Sam Houston men had 54 points to finish second in the men’s all-sports trophy standings behind Stephen F. Austin, which had 57 points. The Bearkats, who won the men’s all-sports trophy in 2000 and 2007, have finished in the top-three five times in the last 10 seasons.

Sam Houston won the baseball regular-season title and shared titles in football, volleyball and women’s basketball and finished in the top three in seven other sports including second place in women’s cross country, men’s and women’s indoor track and field, men’s outdoor track and field and women’s golf.

Stephen F. Austin, the 2012 Commissioner’s Cup winner, was six points shy of claiming its second consecutive trophy and third in the last four years. The SFA athletics program was equally impressive in 2012-13 as the men’s and women’s programs combined to win seven conference championships. The men’s claimed titles in basketball and indoor and outdoor track and field. The women swept championships in cross country and both indoor and outdoor track and field while also claiming the soccer championship.

Lamar (101), McNeese State (96) and Central Arkansas (90), came in third, fourth and fifth place, respectively.

Oral Roberts (85) finished sixth, edging seventh-place Southeastern Louisiana (84.5) by the slimmest of margins in its first season as a Southland Conference member. Northwestern State (72.5) finished in eighth place, followed by Texas A&M-Corpus Christi (67) and Nicholls State (51) to round out this year’s standings.

12

The Commissioner’s Cup is awarded annually to the top overall athletics program in the Southland. Sam Houston State leads all active member institutions with four. In the 16-year history of the Commissioner’s Cup, Stephen F. Austin has two and Northwestern State has one.

The Southland Conference all-sports trophies are awarded annually for men’s and women’s competition based on a 10-point system for all conference sports.

SOUTHLAND ACADEMIC AWARDS The Southland Conference presents five academic accolades to recognize studentathletes within the league who demonstrate excellence in the classroom and superior athletic achievements on the field or court. These academic honors include the Commissioner’s Academic Honor Roll, the All-Academic teams, the Southland Conference Student-Athlete of the Year, the Southland Conference Scholar-Athlete awards and the F.L. McDonald Postgraduate Scholarship awards.

Commissioner’s Academic Honor Roll Now called the Commissioner’s Academic Honor Roll, the Southland Conference acknowledges all participants in all sports sponsored by the league and its member institutions. The honor roll is released within 30 days at the conclusion of the fall and spring semesters, recognizing student-athletes who maintained a 3.0 or better grade-point average.

Student-athletes, nominated by their respective academic advisors, must have been eligible to compete in a Conference sport during the academic year in which the nomination occurs.

The honor roll was first dubbed Southland Conference All-Academic and then the Southland Conference Honor Roll. It changed for a third time to the Commissioner’s List, beginning with the 1996-97 season, before acquiring its current title in the 2003-04 academic year.

Southland Conference All-Academic Teams The Southland Conference announces all-academic teams in all 17 championship sports to recognize those student-athletes who excel in the classroom and on the field or court.

Nominated by each institution’s athletic media relations director and selected by a voting contingent made up of sports information directors, head coaches and academic or compliance administrators, all-academic team members must have posted at least a cumulative 3.0 grade-point average, completed at least one full academic year at the member institution prior to the season in which the nomination occurs, and competed in a minimum of 50 percent of the sport’s contests during the most recently completed season.

Student-athletes receiving CoSIDA national academic honors are automatically named to the Southland all-academic first team. All-academic teams are announced in conjunction with the conference’s student-athlete of the year in each sport. One team shall be selected for cross country, indoor and outdoor track and field within 30 days following the outdoor championship.

Southland Conference Student-Athlete of the Year Established in the 2002-03 academic year, the conference honors one student-athlete from each of the 17 championship sports who achieves excellence in academics, athletics and community/campus service.

The student-athlete of the year, selected by the league’s awards committee, will have attained athletics achievement for at least two years at the nominating institution, possess at least a 3.20 cumulative grade-point average and demonstrated extracurricular service at his/her campus and/or community.

The recipient of the student-athlete of the year award is announced in conjunction with the all-academic teams in each sport.

Southland Conference Scholar-Athlete Beginning with the 1996-97 season, the conference annually recognizes the outstanding male and female student-athletes from each of the league’s member institutions. Studentathletes must be a letterwinner with a minimum 3.20 cumulative grade-point average and have completed at least two years of intercollegiate competition at the school from which he/she was nominated. The student-athletes are selected by their respective institution administrators.

F.L. McDonald Postgraduate Scholarship The F.L. McDonald Postgraduate Scholarship is presented annually to graduating male and female letterwinners with the highest cumulative grade-point averages during their enrollment at Southland member schools. The $2,500 scholarship must be applied to graduate study at an institution of the recipient’s choice.

The award was established in memory of Dr. F.L. McDonald in 1996-97, a former president of Lamar University and 1999 Southland Hall of Honor inductee. McDonald served as Lamar’s president in 1963 when the Southland Conference was established and is considered one of the league’s founding fathers.

Each member institution may nominate one male and one female student-athlete who meet the following criteria: a letterwinner in a Conference sport, be on track to graduate during the spring in which they are nominated or the subsequent summer, and plan to attend graduate school no later than the second fall following the receipt of the award.

Steve McCarty Citizenship Award The Steve McCarty Citizenship Award was established to recognize a Southland Conference male and female student-athlete who exhibits outstanding qualities in citizenship, sportsmanship, leadership and community service. In addition to the two recipients, others nominated will also be honored with campus awards. McCarty retired from Stephen F. Austin in August, 2005. He had been with SFA for 21 years, the last 15 as athletics director.

#SOU THLA NDSTRONG 2013-14 PREVIEW

The motto encompasses a positive mindset and confident outlook for everything that happens in the Southland. It is about competitiveness and success in the conference, in the NCAA, in professional sports and many other great achievements by member institutions and student-athletes.

But it is more than just excelling in competition; it is also about being successful in the classroom and in the workforce.

Southland Strong is also about great works by the league’s athletic departments reaching out and giving back to the local communities and student-athletes providing leadership through their endless efforts with local charity and youth groups. The conference encourages its member institutions and student-athletes to join the social media conversation by using the #SouthlandStrong hash tag to tell why someone or something is Southland Strong.

Northwestern State is Preseason Favorite of League Coaches, Sports Information Directors Defending Southland Conference tournament champion Northwestern State has been named the preseason favorite following a vote of the league’s coaches and sports information directors who are eligible to win the conference this season. The Demons are coming off the school’s 10th 20 win season and return three starters from a team that finished 23-9 overall and second in the conference with a 15-3 record. Northwestern State, which made its third NCAA tournament appearance, received 10 first-place votes and 120 points in the coaches’ poll and eight first-place votes and 118 points in the SID poll.

Oral Roberts was selected to finish second by voters in each poll. The coaches tabbed Sam Houston State third and Stephen F. Austin fourth, while the SIDs had the Bearkats and Lumberjacks tying for third. ORU returns two starters from last year’s squad that finished 20-15 overall, third in the conference with a 13-5 record and advanced to the quarterfinals of the CollegeInsider.com Tournament. Sam Houston returns four starters from last year’s team that tied for fifth in the standings at 8-10 and was 17-17 overall, while SFA returns two starters from last year’s regular-season championship team that was 27-5 overall and 16-2 in Southland action.

In the coaches’ poll, McNeese was picked fifth, followed by Southeastern Louisiana sixth and Texas A&M-Corpus Christi seventh. Nicholls, Central Arkansas, Lamar take the 8-9-10 spots in the poll followed by newcomers New Orleans and Houston Baptist, picked 11th and 12th, respectively. The SIDs had Southeastern finishing fifth and McNeese State sixth with A&M-Corpus Christi, Nicholls, Lamar, UCA, New Orleans and Houston Baptist rounding out the poll. Since both Abilene Christian and UIW will not play a full slate of league games in their first year of transition into Division I they were not eligible to be picked in the preseason polls.

Two All-Conference Selections Return for 2013-14 Season Only two All-Southland Conference selections return from last year. Thirteen of the 15 players selected to the three postseason squads last year were seniors or will not return, leaving Northwestern State forward DeQuan Hicks and Oral Roberts guard Shawn Glover as the only returning players. Both players were second-team selections a season ago and guided their teams to the postseason. Hicks, the Southland newcomer of the year in 2013, also was selected to the alltournament team after the Demons beat Stephen F. Austin to make their third trip to the NCAA tournament, while Glover helped lead the Golden Eagles to the quarterfinals of the CIT. As returning all-league players, the two automatically earned first-team all-conference preseason honors. They were joined on the first team by Northwestern State sophomore guard Jalan West, SFA guard Desmond Haymon and Texas A&M-Corpus Christi guard Johnathan Jordan. Hicks led the Demons last year with 14.0 points and 5.9 rebounds per game and was voted the conference’s newcomer of the year. After averaging 12.0 points and 4.5 rebounds in two games in the Southland tournament, he was a lock for the all-tournament team after his game-clinching steal with two seconds to play gave the Demons their third tournament championship. Glover was the Golden Eagles’ third leading scorer and rebounder, averaging 14.4 points and 5.1 rebounds. West was the conference freshman of the year in 2013 after he averaged 10.2 points and 5.2 assists per game. Haymon averaged 10.6 points and 4.9 rebounds in 32 games last year for the Lumberjacks and earned a spot on the all-tournament team after averaging 19.5 points in two tournament games. He scored 23 points in the championship game. Jordan averaged 12.8 points, 5.5 assists and 4.8 rebounds for the Islanders last year.

The second-team preseason all-conference squad consists of McNeese State forward Desharick Guidry and guard Kevin Hardy, Sam Houston State forward James Thomas, Nicholls guard Dantrell Thomas and SFA forward Jacob Parker.

Guidry led the Cowboys with 12.6 points and 7.5 rebounds, while teammate Kevin Hardy, a member of the all-defensive team in 2013, was third on the team with 9.7 points and 6.2 rebounds and led the team with 4.5 steals per game.

Thomas led the Bearkats to the semifinals of the conference tournament and averaged a team-best 9.6 points and 5.8 rebounds in 34 games last season. Thomas helped the Colonels reach the Southland tournament for a program-best fifth consecutive year and finished second on the team with averages of 13.8 points and 4.9 rebounds per game. Parker is the second-leading returning scorer for the Lumberjacks. He averaged 7.2 points to go with 4.3 rebounds a season ago.

Northwestern State, SFA and McNeese each placed two players on the preseason all-conference teams, while Nicholls, Oral Roberts, Sam Houston and A&M-Corpus Christi each placed one.

Southland Conference is 14 Members Strong The Southland Conference is experiencing a growth spurt, expanding from 10 teams a season ago to 14 teams in 2013-14. Houston Baptist University, University of New Orleans, Abilene Christian and University of the Incarnate Word joined the conference on July 1, 2013, giving the Southland members in key population centers Houston, San Antonio and New Orleans, all home to significant student-recruitment and alumni bases. Additionally, original Southland Conference member Abilene Christian, one of the most decorated athletic programs in the NCAA, has returned to the league after a 40-year absence. ACU and UIW will be transitioning from NCAA Division II and will not be eligible to win the conference championship during their transition periods, which should be completed in time for the 2017-18 season.

Katy Remains the Destination for Seventh Consecutive Year The 2014 Southland Conference Men’s and Women’s Basketball Tournament returns to the Leonard E. Merrell Center in Katy, Texas. This will be the seventh consecutive year for the tournament to be held in Katy. This year’s tournament will begin on Wednesday, March 12 with first-round action beginning at 5 p.m. The second round will follow on Thursday, March 13. All four games in the first two rounds will be streamed live for free on the Southland Conference Digital Network. The semifinals, which will be shown on ESPN3, will take place on Friday, March 14 and the championship will be played Saturday, March 15 with a 7:30 p.m. tipoff and be televised on ESPN2. The 2014 tournament will be the 15th in league history to be played at a neutral site. The tournament was played in Shreveport, La., from 1995-2001 and was held in Houston before moving to Katy in 2008.

SOUTHLAND CONFERENCE PREVIEW Southland to Play 43 Non-Conference Games against Teams in 2013 Postseason Tournaments Thirteen of the 14 Southland Conference teams will play a combined 42 non-conference games against teams that reached the postseason in 2013. Included in that total are 22 games against teams that played in the NCAA tournament, 10 games against teams that participated in the National Invitational Tournament, seven games against teams in the College Basketball Invitational and another five game against teams that reached the CollegeInsider.com Tournament.

Houston Baptist, playing in its first season in the Southland in 2013-14, will play a league-high seven opponents that reached the postseason a year ago, but only one that played in the NCAA tournament. Of course, that team is national runner-up Michigan Dec. 7 in Ann Arbor, Mich. That game is one of four for the Southland that day against teams in last year’s field of 68. Other games that day include Northwestern State at Memphis, New Orleans at Minnesota and Oral Roberts at Wichita State, which advanced to the 2013 Final Four. ORU will play four teams that were in the NCAA tournament last year, plus a game each against participants in the NIT and CBI. Lamar and New Orleans each face three teams that were in the NCAA tournament a season ago.

The Golden Eagles lost 83-74 in Ogden, Utah to end their season with a 20-15 record. It was the second consecutive 20-win season for ORU and its seventh in the last nine seasons. Against Weber State, Shawn Glover and Damen Bell-Holter each scored 19 points, while Warren Niles added 18 as the three combined for 56 of the team’s 74 points. Weber State went on to play in the championship game of the CIT, but lost to East Carolina.

Nation’s Best Offense Tops Nation’s Best Defense in Southland Title Game Northwestern State picked off 10 steals, including a game-clinching swipe by DeQuan Hicks with two seconds left that preserved a 68-66 triumph over regular-season champion Stephen F. Austin Saturday in the championship game of the Southland Conference tournament. The contest came down to the final seconds just like the two regular-season meetings between the Southland stalwarts. Their three games were decided by a total of seven points, with each winning at home, a 61-57 Northwestern victory on Jan. 26, then a 64-63 SFA triumph on March 2. The Demons were on top for the game’s final 19 minutes after the last of 12 lead changes, a Shamir Davis layup 66 seconds into the half that was among 19 points by the tournament’s most outstanding player. The Northwestern lead was as large as nine points, 54-45 with 9:12 left after a transition layup by Brison White. SFA never had the ball with a chance to take the lead until the final possession, which began 94 feet away from the basket with six seconds left after a missed NSU shot bounded out of bounds. Using the full-court pressure that is their trademark, the Demons locked up the victory when an SFA pass just across the half-court line in transition was snagged by Hicks near the top of the free throw circle. He dribbled once and heaved the ball off the NSU backboard as time expired.

Northwestern State Falls to Florida in NCAA Tournament No. 14 seed Northwestern State soared into their third NCAA tournament appearance as the nation’s top-scoring team, but fell flat in a second-round game against the No. 3 seed Florida Gators at the Frank Erwin Center in Austin, Texas. Despite a great first half, Northwestern could not maintain its momentum in the second half. The Demons made just three field goals in the second half, shooting a season-low 18.8 percent. DeQuan Hicks led Northwestern with 12 points and eight rebounds; he was the only Demon to score in double-figures. The Demons finished the season with a 23-9 record, which marked the program’s 10th 20-win season. Florida, which got a game-high 18 points and eight rebounds from Eric Murphy, advanced the Elite Eight before falling to national runner-up Michigan.

2013-14 PREVIEW

Stephen F. Austin Came Up Just Short at Stanford in NIT Desmond Haymon’s jumper just before the buzzer did not go and the Stanford Cardinal put an end to one of the most historic seasons in Stephen F. Austin history by escaping the Lumberjacks, 58-57, in the opening round of the NIT. SFA, which was the No. 5 seed in the region, closed out its season with a 27-5 record. It was the most wins for the Lumberjacks since the 1971-72 season. SFA dropped its final two games of the year by a combined three points.

The No. seed 4 Cardinal, who won the NIT in 2012, advanced to face top-seeded Alabama, 66-54. The Lumberjacks held a 32-31 lead at the half, and closed the game scoring seven of the game’s final 10 points, but despite making one more field goal than the Cardinal and canning 10 of 12 foul shots, Stanford’s seven 3-pointers were too much.

Taylor Smith was nearly unstoppable in the game’s opening minutes and finished with a game-high 18 points on 7-of-9 shooting from the floor to go with seven rebounds and one block.

SOUTHLAND BASKETBALL Southland Conference men’s basketball celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2012-13. The league has experienced a tremendous amount of success during the league’s first 50 years, initially at the Division II level before advancing to Division I: • 49 NBA Draft Picks • 23 NCAA Tournament Victories • 9 Victories in the NIT • 6 NBA First-Round Draft Picks • 4 NCAA Sweet 16 Appearances • 2 Members Basketball Hall of Fame • 1 NIT Final Four Appearance The league has sent teams to the NCAA Division I Sweet Sixteen in 1972, 1973, 1980 and 1985, as well as a squad to the 1986 NIT Final Four, the 1968 Division II national championship game and the 1966 DII Final Four. Basketball stars Karl Malone, Joe Dumars, Jeff Foster, Dwight “Bo” Lamar, Andrew Toney, Devin Brown and Mike Olliver played in the Southland Conference and NBA. The league’s basketball history has experienced recent success in the Division I tournament, which expanded to 68 teams in 2011. Texas-San Antonio earned the league’s most recent postseason victory in the 2011 tournament when it defeated Alabama State, 70-61. In 2006, Northwestern State, as the No. 14 seed, defeated No. 3-seed Iowa, 64-63 in the first round, thanks to a three-point basket with 0.5 seconds remaining from Jermaine Wallace.

Former member Trinity University was the first Southland Conference school to qualify for the NCAA Division I tournament, qualifying for the 1969 event, after playing in the 1968 Division II Final Four. Abilene Christian won four Division II Tournament games in the 1960’s and advanced to the 1966 Division II National Championship Game.

Although vacated later following NCAA sanctions, Southwestern Louisiana (now Louisiana-Lafayette) posted three wins as it advanced to the 1972 and 1973 NCAA Division I Sweet Sixteen.

The league’s first recognized win in the NCAA DI Tournament came in 1979, as No. 10-seed Lamar knocked off No. 7-seed Detroit, 95-87. A year later, Lamar advanced to

Sweet Sixteen with wins over No. 7 Weber State and No. 2 Oregon State. Lamar continued its run of success with a 1981 NCAA first round win over No. 9-seed Missouri, and a 1983 first round victory over No. 6-seed Alabama.

Former member Louisiana Tech added a 1986 NCAA firstround win over Fresno State, and added the league’s next Sweet Sixteen berth in 1985, it posted wins over No. 12 Pittsburgh and No. 4 Ohio State. Northwestern State also recorded an opening-round game over Winthrop in the 2001 NCAA tournament.

The Southland has also experienced success in the National Invitational Tournament, beginning in 1980, when Louisiana-Lafayette advanced to the quarterfinals with wins over UAB and Texas. In 1986, the league sent a re-

Karl Malone, Louisiana Tech cord three schools to the NIT – Louisiana Tech, McNeese State and Lamar – with Tech advancing to the NIT Final Four after wins against Northern Arizona, McNeese and Providence, before falling to Ohio State in the semifinals at Madison Square Garden. Louisiana Tech then won the consolation game against Florida.

The Southland has also seen six league players selected in the opening round of the NBA Draft, including

a league-best two players in the 1985 draft. Louisiana Tech’s Karl Malone was drafted 13th overall by Utah and McNeese State’s Joe Dumars was drafted 18th by Detroit.

Both have been enshrined the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, as Dumars was inducted in 2006 and Malone in 2010. Malone was also honored as one of the NBA’s Top 50 Players in 1996.

The highest Southland draftee was Louisiana Tech’s Mike Green, taken fourth by Seattle in 1973. Other Southland first-round selections include Louisiana-Lafayette’s Andrew Toney, drafted eighth overall by Philadelphia in 1980, Lamar’s Tom Sewell selected 22nd by Philadelphia in 1984 and Texas State’s Jeff Foster, taken 21st by Indiana in 1999. Stephen F. Austin, although not yet a member of the Southland Conference, had five players drafted in the 1970 NBA Draft, and is one of only seven schools to have five players selected in a single draft, joining UCLA, UNLV, North Carolina, Indiana, Florida and Kentucky.

Southland teams have also received recognition in the final national polls, as Louisiana-Lafayette finished No. 8 and No. 7 in the 1972 and 1973 polls, respectively, while Louisiana Tech finished No. 8 in 1985.

Over the years, Southland Conference teams have earned victories over Texas Tech, Houston, Kentucky, Mississippi State, Iowa, Oklahoma State, Missouri, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, LSU, Alabama, Pittsburgh, Oregon, Oregon State, Southern California, Texas, Arizona and Gonzaga.

Three league teams reached the postseason a year ago. Northwestern State, which won the Southland’s automatic bid by winning the conference tournament, played in the NCAA tournament, while regular-season champion Stephen F. Austin nearly shocked Stanford in the NIT in Palo Alto, Calif. Oral Roberts picked up a pair of wins in the CollegeInsider.com Tournament in its first season as a member of the Southalnd Conference. The Golden Eagles have made 14 postseason appearances, including five in the NCAA tournament where they have two wins and eight in the NIT, where they also have won twice. ORU reached the NCAA Sweet Sixteen in 1974 and claims three consecutive tournament berths from 2006-08.

FA NS SELECT ‘DEMONS OF DEST IN Y’ AS LEAGUE’S TOP MOMEN T

2013-14 PREVIEW

The storied season of the 2005-06 Northwestern State men’s basketball team, also known as the “Demons of Destiny,” has been chosen by fans as the Southland Conference’s Greatest Moment in the sport.

In balloting on the Southland’s Facebook page during the league’s 50th basketball season in 2013, the “Demons of Destiny” outpaced a field of outstanding candidates vying for the honor of greatest men’s basketball moment.

The Demons dominated the Southland Conference schedule with a 15-1 mark and rolled to three more wins in the league tournament to secure an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. Garnering a No. 14 seed, the Demons were matched with the formidable task of facing No. 3 seed and Big Ten tournament champion Iowa at Auburn Hills, Mich. The Demons trailed 28-24 at halftime. The Hawkeyes rebuilt a daunting lead in the second half as well, stretching their advantage to 54-37 with 8:29 left to play.

26

Just when it looked like the Demons’ season was coming to an end, NSU’s Clifton Lee went on an amazing run, scoring 16 points in a 20-6 spurt that narrowed Iowa’s advantage to 60-57 with less than two minutes to play. As the game reached its waning moments, a Hawkeye free throw gave Iowa a 63-61 lead with 14 seconds left, leading to one of the greatest moments in NCAA tournament history. The Demons had an initial shot at tying the game when Kerwin Forges’ two-point attempts rattled off the rim high and into the hands of NSU’s Jermaine Wallace. With only 0.5 seconds left, Wallace heaved a fade-away 3-point attempt from the corner that found nothing but net, gave the Demons a 64-63 lead, and following a desperation half-court miss by the Hawkeyes, Northwestern State owned one of the greatest comebacks in the history of March Madness.

COACHING HISTORY

When thinking about the 2013-14 Abilene Christian men’s basketball team, head coach Joe Golding reflects back to some of the thoughts of one of history’s greatest military minds: Chinese general, strategist and philosopher, Sun Tzu, who wrote the book “The Art of War.” “Our guards will definitely be the strongest part of our team, and they’ll have to know when to push the ball and when to back off,” said Golding, who is beginning his third season as the head coach of the program. “For us to win games, we have to take care of the ball, guard and defend. If we do that, we’ll have a chance to win games.

“But we have to be smart with the ball and how we play on the defensive end,” he said. “We want teams to take tough shots and only get one shot per possession, which probably isn’t any different than every other team in the country. Offensively we’ve got to know when to push the ball and when to back off and be patient and run our sets.

It’s a bit like one of the philosophies of Sun Tzu when he said (paraphrasing) that when you have the advantage you push forward, but when you don’t have the advantage you have to be smart enough to back off and be patient.”

Golding and his revamped coaching staff – led by assistant coach Brette Tanner, who was an assistant at Stephen F. Austin the previous seven seasons – welcome 12 new faces to the program as the Wildcats get ready to play their first season at the NCAA Division I level as part of the Southland Conference.

The only returning player from last season is sophomore guard Parker Wentz, who averaged 8.3 points per game and shot 39.0 percent from 3-point range last season.

“With so many new guys on this roster, our chemistry and how this team comes together will be huge,” Golding said.

“That’s always tough when you have as many new guys as we have, but we’ve got good guys with good attitudes who are tough-minded, competitive and want to be here, and that’s where we have to start.”

The start to the Wildcats’ schedule might well be one of the toughest in the nation as ACU is on the road for their first 10 games and won’t play in Abilene until Dec. 3. ACU’s first five games are against Dusquesne, St. Bonaventure, Maryland, Iowa, TCU with a Nov. 25 game at Xavier mixed in as the Wildcats will take part in the Battle 4 Atlantis Tournament. Not to mention playing 14 tough games in the tough Southland Conference.

“Our hopes in setting up our schedule were that it would allow our kids to play against great teams in great venues and give them a great experience,” Golding said. “But we also wanted to get ourselves ready to play and have a chance to win in the Southland Conference.”

TEAM PREVIEW

Four of those players are high school signees, but three of them will redshirt in 2013-14, while 6-5 guard Michael Grant will be in the rotation at the small forward spot. The

Wildcats brought in eight junior college transfers, led by LaDarrien Williams, Julian Edmonson and Austin Cooke.

Those three players will play key roles for the Wildcats, whose program has recorded just one winning season (2007-08) since 1998-99. The other transfers are Raphael Farley, Harrison Hawkins, Alexsander Milosavljevic, James Pegues and Jacob Lancaster.

ABILENE CHRISTIAN WILDCATS AUSTIN COOKE

JOE GOLDING Head Coach Third Year Alma Mater Abilene Christian, 1998 Record at ACU: 24-30 (two years) Career Record: 24-30 (two years)

TEAM PREVIEW

Former Abilene Christian letterman and assistant basketball coach Joe Golding is in his third season at his alma mater.

Last year, Golding’s Wildcats won 12 games for the second consecutive year, but were 6-2 against non-conference teams and improved on their standing within the Lone Star Conference. And even though last year’s squad posted the same scoring average (71.5 ppg) as Golding’s first ACU team, the Wildcats became much better overall at shooting (.460) and rebounding (35.5) while reducing their number of turnovers.

ACU finished its final year as a NCAA D-II program ranked 14th in 3-point field goal percentage (.404) and 23rd in rebounding margin (+5.8) thanks to efforts of seniors Eric Lawton and Steven Werner.

Lawton, who averaged 17.3 points and 4.5 assists per game, was voted second team all-Lone Star Conference and earned the Wildcats’ first and only newcomer of the year award. Werner averaged 11.8 points and 6.5 rebounds per game, was named to the honorable mention all-conference team.

Before returning to Abilene, Golding coached the previous three seasons for head coach Steve Shields at Arkansas-Little Rock, helping the Trojans to the Sun Belt Conference title and an appearance in the NCAA Division I tournament. Prior to joining the Trojans, Golding spent three seasons (2005-08) as the top assistant to head coach Jason Copeland at Abilene Christian. A former point guard at ACU from 1994-98, he was also responsible for coaching the Wildcat guards.

In 2007-08, Golding helped guide the Wildcats to a 20-9 record, marking the program’s first 20-win season since the 1998-99 campaign. The 2007-08 ACU squad qualified for the Lone Star Conference Tournament for the first time since 1998, Golding’s senior season. In addition, ACU had three guards earn all-LSC South Division honors in Corwin Ragland, Dejan Sencanski and Brandon Callahan, marking the first time since the 1985-86 season that ACU had more than one player on the all-conference team. Ragland was also named NABC Second Team All-South Central Region after averaging 17.1 points per game.

Golding was a four-year letterwinner at ACU from 1994-98, playing in all 108 games, and was given the Teague Point Guard Award as a senior. He shot 46 percent from the floor over his four-year career, and averaged 4.3 points and 4.2 assists per game.

Upon graduating from ACU with a bachelor’s degree in exercise and sport science in May of 1999, Golding got his first coaching job as a varsity assistant at South Garland High School, where he helped the team to back-to-back Class 5A playoff appearances.

He spent the 2001-02 season as an assistant coach at Seminole Junior College before taking the head coaching job at Sachse High School. In the program’s first years at the 5A level, Golding led the team to a 15-14 record in 2002-03 and an 18-10 mark in 2003-04. Prior to returning to Abilene Christian in 2005, Golding spent the 2004-05 season as an assistant coach at Collin County Community College.

Golding and his wife, Amanda, have been married for seven years and have two sons, Cason and Chase.

COACHING HISTORY

The newest edition of Central Arkansas will have a completely new look in more ways than one. The Bears will be missing four of its top five scorers from last season.

UCA will not have Coach Corliss Williamson patrolling the sideline this season.

Leading scorer Jarvis Garner and Robert Crawford, Jordan Harks and Anthony Borden all are gone. The top returnee is senior All-Southland Conference guard LaQuentin Miles, but he will miss the first semester because of ineligibility.

Miles was fifth in the Southland in scoring (15.4), eighth in assists (3.1) and seventh in steals (1.5), while scoring in double figures in 22 games.

Senior guard DeShone McClure, with 15 starts in 28 games last season, is the most experienced returnee, along with senior guard Ryan Williams, who has been in the program for three years. McClure averaged 5.9 points and 2.3 rebounds per game, made 24 three-pointers and shot 72 percent from the free-throw line. Williams, who played in all 30 games, averaged 3.8 points and connected on 15 threes.

UCA’s other senior is 6-foot-8 center Terry Tidwell, who returns to the program after a year’s absence.

Other newcomers include freshman guard Chasen Williamson, son of former UCA head coach Corliss Williamson, freshman forward Ethan Lee, freshman guard Jaylen Waller, freshman guard Taylor Johnson and freshman forward Phabian Glasco.

Associate head coach Clarence Finley takes over the reins on an interim basis for the 2013-14 season, replacing Williamson, who left UCA this summer to become an assistant coach for the NBA’s Sacramento Kings, a team he spent seven seasons with during his 12-year playing career. Finley has been at UCA since Williamson was hired in 2010-11. Other newcomers to the staff include James Johnson (associate head coach) and assistants Keith Richardson Jr. and Chris Sartorius.

UCA’s 2012-13 schedule features tough non-conference matchups with Texas Tech in Lubbock, Kansas State in Manhattan, Louisiana Tech in Conway and a rematch with Arkansas State in Jonesboro, after last year’s nail-biter (a 73-72 loss) in Conway drew a crowd of 4,127 on the day before Thanksgiving.

TEAM PREVIEW

Junior guards Oliver Wells (12 starts) and Lenell Brown return, as does sophomore guard Daouda Berete, who started 10 games last season as a true freshman. Sophomore centers Tirell Brown (26 games) and Sean Young (4 games) are back with one year of experience under their belts. Brown showed flashes last year, averaging 2.7 points and 2.8 rebounds per game and shooting 54.4 percent from the field.

The top newcomers include junior guard Aubrey Ball, who began his career at UCA before transferring to Erie Community College, freshman forward Jalen Jackson from West Memphis, Ark., junior forward Jeff Drew (6-7, 215), a transfer from Southern University, and redshirt freshman guard DuShaun Rice, a transfer from Cowley County Community College.

HOUSTON BAPTIST HUSKIES SEASON OU TLOOK

COACHING HISTORY Season Peck Vass Gerald Myers Lonnie Richards Bob McKinley Gene Iba Tommy Jones Ron Cottrell

As Houston Baptist transitions into the Southland Conference, after five seasons in the Great West, the Huskies do so with no seniors and eight newcomers on their roster.

As HBU coach Ron Cottrell enters his 23rd season leading the Huskies, the ninth-longest active tenure among NCAA Division I coaches, he may feel he has found the Fountain of Youth with only three upperclassmen, six sophomores and six freshmen.

The Huskies will look for leadership from its junior backcourt duo of point guard Marcel Smith and shooting guard Tyler Russell. Russell was HBU’s second-leading scorer with 11.4 points per game at the midpoint of the 2012-13 season, but missed the second half with a knee injury. Smith has started 51 games for the Huskies the past two seasons and while not known for prolific scoring, he shoots at a high percentage from everywhere on the floor, which has led to some big games. He has led HBU in assists each of the past two seasons and has improved his on-the-ball defense, which will help offset the loss of Great West Co-Defensive Player of the Year Anthony Hill.

Literally, one of the Huskies’ biggest acquisitions during the offseason is 6-10 junior center/forward Ricmonds Vilde, a transfer from SMU. Vilde is a rare case, in that he finished his undergraduate degree early and still has two years of eligibility remaining. His physical presence adds another dimension on the floor for HBU and will help further the development of 6-9 posts sophomore Cody Joyce, who started 17 games last season, and freshman Cody Stetler.

Record Pct. 21-54 .280 32-43 .427 52-73 .416 11-44 .200 128-96 .571 50-63 .443 420-292 .589

Crayton averaged 6.4 points and 4.1 rebounds per game and had started 17 consecutive games, before missing the Great West tournament with a foot injury. He had some of his biggest games on the biggest stages, scoring in double figures against LSU, Texas A&M, UTEP, and a career-high 23 against Utah Valley. With the loss of first-team All-Great West performer Art Bernardi, who averaged 14.7 points and 7.0 rebounds, Womack is HBU’s top returning rebounder at 5.3 boards per contest.

Along with Stetler, HBU has also brought in wings Alex Fountain, Tennessee’s Mr. Basketball in his class, and Alaska product Colter Lasher. The Huskies also signed guards Reveal Chukwujekwu, a local product from Strake Jesuit, and Jimmy Barton from St. Louis.

Not only does HBU have one of the youngest rosters in the country, but it also has one of the most diverse. The Huskies have four Houston area products, but each of the other 10 American players are from a different state, while Vilde is from Latvia.

Caleb Crayton

In addition to a challenging Southland schedule, which will see the Huskies number of conference games jump from eight to 18, HBU also faces tough non-conference opponents. HBU opens the season at Texas Tech Nov. 8 and faces Texas in Austin Nov. 18. The Huskies will compete in the CBE Hall of Fame Classic in Mobile, Ala., then travel to Army. After hosting Rice, HBU travels to Ann Arbor to take on national runner-up Michigan, before returning home to take on Texas-Arlington. In their final road trip before Christmas, the Huskies play DePaul in Chicago and Pepperdine in Malibu, Calif.

TEAM PREVIEW

In addition to Joyce, sophomore guards Caleb Crayton and Rob Lewis and forward Dauson Womack each saw significant playing time during their rookie seasons. Lewis was named the Great West Conference Sixth Man of the Year, averaging 8.2 points per game, all off the bench. He scored in double figures in each of the last nine games and showed his big play ability by hitting a 3-pointer at the buzzer in double overtime to send Utah Valley home in the first round of the Great West tournament.

Years 1963-67 1967-70 1970-75 1975-77 1977-85 1985-89 1991-pres.

Another benefit of joining the Southland Conference for Huskies fans is the postseason tournament will be held at the Merrell Center in Katy March 12-15.

HOUSTON BAPTIST HUSKIES RON COT TRELL Head Coach 23rd Year

6-3, 205, Sophomore

Alma Mater Arkansas, 1988

Oklahoma City, Okla.

Record at HBU: 420-292 (22 years) Career Record: 420-292 (22 years)

TEAM PREVIEW

Ron Cottrell enters his 23rd season as head coach at Houston Baptist, which is the ninth-longest active tenure in NCAA Division I. He led the Huskies back to the Division I ranks after 16 seasons building a perennial power at the NAIA Division I level. In addition to his coaching duties, Cottrell is the associate director of athletics after spending 15 years as director of athletics at HBU. He was one of the driving forces, working closely with HBU President Robert B. Sloan Jr., in the Huskies’ transition to the NCAA. The 2012-13 was Cottrell’s most successful since HBU returned to Division I, posting a 14-17 overall mark and advancing to the championship game of the Great West Conference tournament for the third time.

The Huskies went 10-3 over their final 13 games and had an eight-game winning streak from Jan. 22-Feb. 25. Senior forward Art Bernardi earned First-Team All-Great West honors, senior guard Anthony Hill was voted the conference co-defensive player of the year, and freshman guard Rob Lewis was named the league’s sixth man of the year. Along with Lewis, sophomore guard Marcel Smith and freshman guard Caleb Crayton each earned honorable mention.

Cottrell was one of six members of the 2012 HBU Sports Hall of Honor class, recognizing his many contributions to the University as both a coach and administrator. He solidified his place as HBU’s alltime winningest basketball coach as HBU defeated Campbell, 87-76, on Dec. 14, 2011, for the head coach’s 400th career victory. His record now stands at 420-292.

During the NAIA years, the Huskies won nine consecutive Red River Athletic Conference championships and competed in the NAIA national tournament 10 straight years. He built the basketball program into one of national prominence, perennially ranked in the NAIA Top 25, and finishing the season as one of the NAIA’s top 10 teams six times.

Cottrell is known for his up-tempo offense and pressure defense, a philosophy he learned from his mentor, former Arkansas coach Nolan Richardson. As an assistant to Richardson at Arkansas, Cottrell helped coach the Razorbacks to two Southwest Conference championships and three trips to the NCAA tournament, culminating in the Hogs appearance at the 1990 NCAA Final Four where they lost to Duke in the semifinals.

During Cottrell’s tenure on the bench at Arkansas, the Razorbacks posted a record of 88-36.

With Cottrell at the helm as athletics director, HBU won 42 conference championships and had teams compete in national tournaments 35 times. HBU won eight Red River Athletic Conference all-sports awards in the nine-year history of the RRAC. HBU produced 99 All-America honorees, 65 academic All-America athletes and 241 All-Conference performers during his tenure.

Cottrell is married to the former Jacque George, and they have two daughters, Scottlyn Rose (18), who is a freshman at HBU, and Sydney-Anne (16).

UIW has done a lot of transitioning during the past few years moving from the Heartland Conference to the Lone Star Conference and finally to the Southland Conference and NCAA Division I for the 2013-14 season. One thing has remained constant during that time and it is head coach Ken Burmeister who is entering his eighth season with the Cardinals.

Burmeister has had great success with UIW guiding the team to a 127-70 record during his tenure and seven consecutive winning seasons. He also brings Division I experience having served as the head coach at Texas-San Antonio and Loyola of Chicago previously.

The Cardinals will continue to play their up-tempo brand of basketball that Burmeister has brought to the program.

They will move the ball quickly and get up and down the court in hopes of playing games in the high 70s and low 80s.

Inexperience could be a struggle for the team with only two players with previous Division I playing experience.The move from NCAA Division II to Division I will have growing pains, but it will be an exciting season as the Cardinals go through the process of playing their first ever Division I schedule.

Slated to join Hittle in the backcourt is fellow sophomore Mitchell Badillo at point guard. Badillo played a lot of minutes at the point as a true freshman and came through with flying

Junior Denzel Livingston is a jack-of-all-trades and will play a number of different positions including backup point guard. He has added strength and weight in the offseason in an effort to be able to handle stronger defenders. He was second on the team in scoring last year with 12.6 points per game, but he is more than just a scorer. He dished out 70 assists and had 52 steals while leading the team with 41 blocks. He is a great defensive player who is dangerous on the help side.

Inside, the Cardinals have a pair of big bodies in center Ian Markolf and power forward Winslo Barry. Markolf is back after missing last season with an injury and looks to be in great shape after rehabbing over the past year. The former University of Wisconsin transfer is a big (7-1) presence in the middle of the defense who clogs the lane and alters shots. Barry figures to be the most impactful newcomer to the Cardinals. He is a relentless rebounder on both the offensive and defensive glass. At 6-10, he can be a shot blocker and is a strong finisher at the hoop.

Kyle Hittle

Freshman Sam Burmeister, the coach’s son, will be a great player, but the question is how soon? He will have to make the adjustment from high school to college ball and will be counted on to score and knock down shots.

TEAM PREVIEW

In the preseason, practices have been high intensity and competitive. Newcomers have meshed well with the returning players making for a fun team to watch on the court. Sophomore guard Kyle Hittle has looked particularly well on the floor while shooting a great percentage from outside. His high basketball IQ and ability to stretch the defense makes him a player that opponents will have to prepare for.

colors. He led the team with 3.9 assists per game and had a 1.7-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio. He is a great passer and will be expected to put the team in position to score. He has also improved his jumper and should contribute more than the 5.1 points per game he scored last year.

Year one in Division I will be a fun one for the Cardinals with a high level of excitement surrounding the entire athletics program at UIW.

UIW CARDINALS KEN BURMEISTER Head Coach Eighth Year

6-4, 195, Sophomore

Alma Mater St. Mary’s, 1970

New Braunfels, Texas

Record at UIW: 127-70 (seven years) Career Record: 255-154 (14 years)

TEAM PREVIEW

Head Coach Ken Burmeister enters his eighth season at the helm of UIW with a proven track record. He has posted seven consecutive winning seasons with the Cardinals including two conference titles and a pair of appearances in the NCAA Division II South Central Region Tournament. He has accumulated a 255-194 record in 16 seasons as a head coach and his record with the Cardinals is 127-70.

Burmeister led the Cardinals from the Heartland Conference to the Lone Star Conference during the previous three seasons and will be leading the program in the transition from Division II to Division I and the Southland Conference. In his three seasons in the Lone Star, he guided UIW to a pair of conference tournament appearances, including a semifinal appearance in 2012-13.

In 2012-13, the Cardinals were led by First Team all-LSC and second team all-region forward Dionelle Rucker who led the LSC in scoring with 18.2 points per game. In addition, Burmeister coached his first LSC Freshman of the Year in Kyle Hittle who averaged 10.5 points per game. The 2011-12 team had a pair of all-conference players in Chris Johnson (first) and Shaun Umeh (second). Umeh was also the LSC Defensive Player of the Year.

Burmeister led the Cardinals to back-to-back Heartland Conference titles in 2008-09 and 2009-10. Shooting guard Pierce Caldwell was Division II honorable mention All-American, the Heartland Player of the Year and Heartland Tournament MVP in both seasons when the team won 23 games each year.

In 2007-08, Burmeister took the Cardinals to the Heartland Conference Tournament. Caldwell won his first Heartland Player of the Year award and was recognized as a Divsion II honorable mention All-American.

Burmeister took over a program in 2006-07 that was coming off a pair of losing seasons, the first since 1989-90. He led the team to an 18-11 record and had three players earn all-conference honors while Caldwell was named the Heartland Freshman of the Year.

It truly was a starting over moment when Burmeister accepted the head men’s basketball coaching position at UIW. It was a time of renewal for Burmeister who had not coached in seven years. And, it had to be a time of regeneration for the Cardinals who had not won a single conference game the year before and finished last in the league standings.

Burmeister has been a head coach at four schools. His first was at the University of Texas-San Antonio where his four-year mark was 72-44 and included one trip to the NCAA Division I Tournament.

His second job was at Loyola of Chicago. He improved the team’s record each season he was there. After that, he coached one year as the interim head coach at Trinity University in San Antonio leading them to a 16-9 record.

The Twin Lakes, Wis., native is a graduate of St. Mary’s University and holds a master’s degree from Northern Arizona University. He and his wife, Brenda, have to children, Amanda and Sam.

LAMAR CARDINALS SEASON OU TLOOK

The 2013-14 season will be a new look, of sorts, for Lamar, which returns two starters, but only six letterwinners from the 2012-13 season, which could have the average fan looking past this year’s version of the Cardinals. That assumption would be a mistake.

Lamar returns two of its top four scorers from last season, including California native Rhon Mitchell. A 6-5 forward, Mitchell was one of the top freshmen in the league last season averaging better than 10 points and nearly five rebounds per game. Mitchell will be joined by the squad’s lone senior, Amos Wilson, who averaged nearly nine points and five rebounds in 23 starts last season. The Cardinals will turn to a couple of sophomores for leadership at the guard spot. Keilan Blanks and Donnell Minton return from a rookie campaign that saw them combine to average 12

SOU THLA ND HISTORY

points and four assists per game in 24 starts last season.

In addition, all six of Lamar’s returning letterwinners bring starting experience to the lineup.

Coach Pat Knight, and his staff, have added seven newcomers to this year’s squad, but they bring with them quite a bit of success and experience from the junior college level. Among the team’s seven newcomers, five come by way of the junior college route, with two freshmen. The incoming class adds immediate help at both ends of the floor. Four of the five transfers averaged double-figure scoring during their JUCO careers, while Gainesville, Fla. native, Octavius Green, was the nation’s second-leading rebounder averaging 13 rebounds per contest. Tyran de Lattibeaudiere comes to Beaumont from one of the top junior college programs in the country. One of the nation’s top shot blockers, de Lattibeaudiere, guided Vincennes University to the NJCAA Final Four, while averaging 5.0 blocks per game during his sophomore season.

TEAM PREVIEW

While the Cardinals’ schedule will not have them facing a tough 11-game road stretch like last season, the upcoming slate is a daunting one that consists of trips to both coasts, games in all four times zones, as well as games against four teams that competed in the 2013 NCAA tournament.

Lamar opens the 2013-14 season at Butler Nov. 9, before hosting George Mason in their home opener three nights later. Things don’t get any easier when Lamar opens conference play with consecutive road games against the defending Southland regular-season champion, Stephen F. Austin, Jan. 2 and the defending Southland tournament champion Northwestern State Jan. 4.

LAMAR CARDINALS PAT KNIGH T

KEILAN BLANKS Head Coach Third Year

5-8, 156, Sophomore

Alma Mater Indiana, 1995

Spring Hill, Tenn.

Record at LU: 26-40 (two years) Career Record: 76-101 (six years)

TEAM PREVIEW

Pat Knight was named the university’s 10th head coach, since Lamar became a four-year institution, prior to the 2011-12 season. The Pat Knight era got started in thrilling fashion as Knight guided the team to a six-game win streak to win the 2012 Southland Conference tournament title, and advance to the NCAA tournament. It was Lamar’s sixth NCAA tournament appearance and first since the 1999-2000 season.

Knight, who became the third Lamar coach to take the team to the NCAA tournament in his first season, also led the Cardinals to their first 20-win season since 1987-88. Lamar’s 23 wins tied for the third highest single season total in school history.

Thanks to the outstanding season, Lamar had three players recognized as All-Southland Conference selections. Mike James was a first-team all-conference selection, while Devon Lamb and Anthony Miles were both named to the second-team. Brandon Davis was also honored by the league as he was named to the all-academic first-team.

Knight came to Lamar after 10 seasons at Texas Tech, including the final three-plus years as head coach. Named head coach designate at Tech prior to the 2005-06 season, Knight took over for his Hall-of-Fame father Bob Knight toward the end of the 2007-08 season.

In three-plus seasons as head coach of the Red Raiders, Knight compiled a 50-61 record. His 2009-10 squad posted a 19-16 overall record and advanced to the quarterfinals of the postseason National Invitation Tournament before falling at Mississippi in double overtime.

Knight served for nearly seven years as an assistant at Tech under his father which included four trips to the NCAA tournament and a run to the Sweet 16 in 2005. Texas Tech enjoyed five 20-win seasons during Knight’s tenure as an assistant.

Knight’s professional career began as a scout and administrative assistant with the NBA’s Phoenix Suns after his four-year playing career at Indiana. In 1997, Knight became an assistant coach with the Connecticut Pride of the Continental Basketball Association.

In 1998, Knight became a head coach for the first time, guiding the Wisconsin Blast of the International Basketball Association to a 19-15 record.

Knight began his college coaching career at his alma mater as an assistant for two seasons from 1998-2000. The Hoosiers were 43-20 during that time and played in the NCAA tournament both years. In his second season at Indiana, senior guard A.J. Guyton earned AP FirstTeam All-America honors before becoming a second-round draft choice of the Chicago Bulls.

Knight then spent one season as an assistant at Akron before moving to Texas Tech.

A four-year letterwinner for the Hoosiers from 1991-95, Knight graduated in 1995 with a degree in sports management. During his playing days, Indiana appeared in the NCAA tournament every season and advanced to the “Elite Eight” in 1993.

Knight and the former Amanda Shaw were married on May 10, 2002.

McNEESE STATE COWBOYS SEASON OU TLOOK

Guidry ended the season with a team-high 18 doubledigit scoring games, four games with 20 or more points, and had seven double-doubles.

“Desharick really developed into an outside threat last year,” Simmons said. “He has the potential to have big night but must become a more consistent player for the entire 40 minutes.”

McFerrin missed the first seven games of the 2012-13 season due to academic suspension but returned with a flourish with three straight double-digit scoring games (14 vs. Louisiana Tech; 18 at Texas Tech; 10 at North Carolina).

He ended the season ranked fifth on the team with 8.7 points per game and was second in rebounding with a 6.5 average.

“Craig will be expected to be a force down low,” Simmons said. “He must develop into a more consistent player and develop a more consistent mid-range game.”

Fields along with Regis and Eackles will help provide depth at the 2 and 3 guard spots as well as some leadership on the team.

Incoming freshman Marcus Mathieu could make an immediate impact at the point guard position. Also looking to add to a stellar freshman season is Lewis, who finished fourth in the conference with 1.4 blocked shots per game.

Sophomore transfer Matthew Moss from LouisianaLafayette and a native of Anacoco, could step in to become a dual threat for the Cowboys.

“We won’t have him until mid-term but he’s a big tall guy that has 3-point range,” Simmons.

The 2012-13 season featured non-conference wins over Texas Tech, Louisiana Tech and Louisiana-Lafayette as well as road matchups at LSU, Ole Miss and North Carolina.

That doesn’t compare to the non-league slate McNeese will see this season.The Cowboys only have two home games before starting conference play and will open the season at national title contender Michigan State (Nov. 8).The Cowboys will also travel to face 2013 NCAA tournament participant San Diego State (Dec. 21) as well as SMU (Dec. 2), Texas A&M (Dec. 14), Louisiana Tech (Dec. 17) and LSU (Dec. 28).

McNeese will open the conference season with two home games beginning Jan. 2 against Southeastern Louisiana followed by league newcomer New Orleans two days later.

TEAM PREVIEW

Don’t let the five seniors on the 2013-14 McNeese State basketball roster fool you, this is a very young team.

Of those five seniors, only one, Adrian Fields, has any starting experience and that was just in two games last season. Combined, the senior class that is made up of Fields, Ledrick Eackles, Keelan Garrett, Brandon Regis and Pete Kpan, combined to play in 101 games and averaged just five minutes of play per game.

With that said, eighth-year coach Dave Simmons will be looking for his youngsters to provide the strength of the team.

Junior guard Kevin Hardy alongside junior forwards Desharick Guidry and Craig McFerrin in addition to sophomore forward Austin Lewis and Fields, will give the Cowboys a jolt of energy and athleticism that was on display many times last season.

Hardy and Guidry have earned preseason all-conference honors and will enter the season as the top two returning scorers on the squad – Guidry with a team-high 12.6 average last season and Hardy at 9.7, third best on the squad.

“Kevin is a tremendous athlete that can play multiple positions,” Simmons said. “We’re looking forward to him to step up as an outside threat to become a complete player.”

Hardy was named to the league’s all-defense team after he ranked second in the conference with 2.2 steals per game and was ninth with 1.2 blocked shots per contest.

He also averaged a team-high 4.5 assists per game to rank fourth in the Southland. Guidry ended the season ranked seventh in the Southland with 7.5 rebounds per game, 14th in scoring, fifth in offensive rebounds with 2.8 per contest and eighth with 4.7 defensive boards per game.

But the biggest surprise of the season was when he suddenly found his range from behind the 3-point arc 19 games into the season. After going 0-for-9 in the first 18 games from long range, Guidry stepped it up and knocked down 20 of 40 in the final 13 games. He connected on 6 of 8 from 3-point range against Central Arkansas March 2, then knocked down 5 of 6 from behind the arc in the regularseason finale at Nicholls to propel him to a 34-point outing and becoming the first Cowboy to score 30 or more in over two years. His 50-percent 3-point shooting in conference games only led the league.

TEAM PREVIEW

Throughout his seven seasons as the head coach of the McNeese State Cowboys, Dave Simmons has etched his name not only in the McNeese record book but also the Southland Conference history guide.

In 2012-13, Simmons coached the Cowboys to a Southland Conference first when his team defeated Sam Houston State 59-58 in overtime on Feb. 7. That win marked the 300th conference win for the Cowboys – the first league team in history to reach the milestone. Also last season, Simmons became just the fourth head coach in school history to reach the 100-win milestone at McNeese after a 91-88, double-overtime victory at Nicholls in the regular season finale. Two years ago, Simmons did something for McNeese State that no other head coach in school history has ever done – take his teams to national postseason tournaments in back-to-back years (2011 National Invitational Tournament and the 2012 CollegeBasketballInsider.com tourney).

That kind of production led to the Louisiana Association of Basketball Coaches to award Simmons the Tommy Joe Eagles Memorial Award as the state’s major college coach of the year two years straight in 2011 and 2012.

The 20-win season Simmons’ Cowboys produce in 2010-11 was also the first for the school in nine years and the 15-2 home record was one of the very best. McNeese knocked on the 20-win door once again last year where the 17-win season saw four games where the Cowboys came up short by four points or less. In 2011,he earned Southland coach of the year honor as well as that for the state of Louisiana and was also named the district coach of the year by the National Association of Basketball Coaches.

He’s now 101-116 in seven seasons with the Cowboys and is 128145 in nine seasons overall.

Simmons was also on the staffs at Northwestern State and Louisiana Tech when those two teams won league titles and played in the NCAA tournament, and an assistant at Delta State when it played post season.

He was an assistant coach at Louisiana Tech when the team went to the NIT Final Four and made two NCAA appearances. He was an assistant at Delta State when it won 24 games and appeared in the Division II Final Four and he was an assistant at Northwestern State when the Demons won back-to-back league crowns, participated in the NCAA and gave the Southland a first-round NCAA victory for the first time since the 1980s.

He is a member of the Louisiana Basketball Hall of Fame, having been inducted for his playing career at Louisiana Tech and he is one of the few current collegiate head coaches in the nation who scored more than 1,500 points during their playing careers.

At Louisiana Tech he was the team captain and team MVP and in 1981 ranked fifth in the nation in free throw shooting. He still holds the school record for free throw accuracy in a single season and for career free throw accuracy.

A native of DeRidder, he and his wife Elaine Marie have three children, Desmond, David and Deon.

NEW ORLEANS PRIVATEERS COACHING HISTORY

SEASON OU TLOOK

Season Ron Greene Butch van Breda Kolff Don Smith Benny Dees Art Tolis Tim Floyd Tic Price Joey Stiebing Monte Towe Buzz Williams Joe Pasternack Mark Slessinger

Since taking the reins of New Orleans in 2011, coach Mark Slessinger has referred to Lakefront Arena as the “friendly confines” with his teams producing a 21-6 record at home.

efforts included a career-best 15 against fellow Southland newcomer Houston Baptist and the game-winning basket against San Jose State.

As UNO makes the move into the Southland Conference, one could argue that Slessinger once again has found some pretty friendly surroundings.

Mack started three games in 23 appearances, averaging 5.2 points per contest with McPhearson starting 21 of 24 contests he competed in, averaging 6.2 points an outing in the process.

An assistant coach at Northwestern State for 11 seasons prior to moving to New Orleans, Slessinger helped coach Mike McConathy become one of the winningest coaches in Southland history.

Slessinger also served as the top recruiter for a program that won three Southland titles with signature victories over Oklahoma State, Mississippi State, Oregon State and a first-round victory over Iowa in the 2006 NCAA tournament.

As he begins his third season with the Privateers, Slessinger hopes to bring that formula of Southland success – the same one he developed alongside McConathy – to the Lakefront.

Helping Slessinger accomplish the feat will be a squad of nine newcomers to go along with nine returnees from a roster that produced an 8-18 a season ago.

Looked upon to replacing the contributions of the aforementioned Cook and Nelson will be a team project.

Of the returnees looked upon to help will include a group featuring senior Cory Dixon, Isaac Mack and Tradarrus McPhearson.

Dixon came off the bench in all 26 games last year and is the top returning scorer with 8.7 points per game. Dixon’s

Record Pct. 146-65 .692 32-22 .593 84-83 .503 42-16 .724 21-11 .656 126-59 .681 63-27 .700 57-58 .465 70-78 .473 14-17 .451 54-60 .473 25-33 .431

Other returning players to be counted on include forward Kevin Hill and guard/forward Evans Ganapamo. Hill averaged 4.9 points per game in 26 contests with Ganapamo serving as a three-point specialist, making 20 three-point shots in 25 games last season.

Newcomers including Dayton transfer Matt Derenbecker will be counted upon heavily. Derenbecker played at LSU prior to his arrival at Dayton and as of press time, is awaiting an NCAA appeal of the transfer requirement. When he does suit up, he will become the first former Louisiana/ Gatorade High School Player of the Year to suit up at UNO since Melvin Simon.

Isaac Mack

No stranger to Texas or Mississippi junior colleges, Slessinger’s staff also added guard/forward Teris Bourgeois of San Jacinto College, Terrance Syon of Navarro College and Micah Walker of East Mississippi CC. Walker is a former EMCC teammate of McPhearson.

Highly touted freshmen include Nate Frye, James Harrison and Christvaious Gill. All three, along with fellow freshman Tevin Broyles, are expected to contribute in 2013-14.

TEAM PREVIEW

Gone from the Privateer roster are Lovell Cook and Rarlensee Nelson. Two players Slessinger built the team around a season ago, Cook finished his season as one of the top field goal shooters in school history while leading the team with 14.2 points per contest. Nelson ranked sixth nationally in assists per game in 2012-13 during a year in which he produced 14 assists in a single game against Bethune-Cookman, the most for a Privateer since 1974-75.

Years 1969-77 1977-79 1979-85 1985-87 1987-88 1988-94 1994-97 1997-01 2001-05 2006-07 2007-11 2011-present

The 2013-14 edition of the Privateers are ineligible for postseason play, but will still have an opportunity to not only contest a Southland Conference slate, but play some of the top teams in the country.

In addition to a home contest against 2013 NCAA at-large participant Boise State, UNO will get a chance to battle Big Ten foes Minnesota and Michigan State, as well as visits to LSU and Hawaii during the upcoming season.

NEW ORLEANS PRIVATEERS M A RK SLESSINGER

CORY DIXON

Head Coach Third Year

6-7, 205, Senior

Alma Mater Aurora, 1995

Argyle, Texas (Argyle H.S.)

Record at UNO: 25-33 (two years) Career Record: 61-58 (three years) The 2013-14 season will be the third at the helm of the UNO program for Mark Slessinger. The native of Bloomington, Ind. became the 12th head coach in Privateer men’s basketball history on June 28, 2011.

During his two years at UNO, “Coach Sless” as he is affectionately known on the Lakefront hit the ground running. Under the direction of Slessinger, the Privateers have developed a reputation of forcing turnovers and pushing the pace.

In 2011-12, Slessinger’s squad set a UNO school-record when 13 different players topped double-figures at least once. The following year, 10 players topped double-figures with point guard Rarlensee Nelson finishing the season ranking second in school history in single-season assists, as well as games with 10 or more assists in a season.

Off the court, the UNO was visible on campus and in the community.

The team’s presence parlayed into an increase in attendance with some of the larger student crowds since the team returned to Lakefront Arena in 2008.

Slessinger prepared for his first NCAA heading coaching job by working for 11 years under Northwestern State’s Mike McConathy. Slessinger was the top assistant for McConathy – the winningest coaches in Louisiana history – while also serving as the school’s recruiting coordinator.

During Slessinger’s tenure at Northwestern, the Demons won three Southland Conference titles and compiled signature victories over Oklahoma State, Mississippi State, Oregon State and a 2006 NCAA Tournament first-round victory over Iowa.

Slessinger graduated from Aurora University with a Bachelor of Arts in Physical Education. He then coached at his alma mater as an assistant basketball coach during the 1995-96 season before moving on to Central Michigan, where he served as an assistant during the 1996-97 campaign.

Following his run at CMU, Slessinger spent three years at Northland Pioneer College (Ariz.), the last two as head coach. His teams posted a 36-25 record with eight players signing on at the Division I level before he departed to join McConathy’s staff at Northwestern.

NICHOLLS COLONELS SEASON OU TLOOK

Nicholls, led by coach J.P. Piper, opens the season with four of its five returning starters from a team that made it to a record fifth consecutive Southland Conference tournament in 2013.

Becoming just the fourth head coach in team history to have tenure last at least nine seasons, Piper led the Colonels to another conference tournament berth under his watch. With a group of talented scorers and influx of youth, Piper led the Colonels to the fifth seed in the tournament – the highest placing for the squad since the 2008 season.

Last year the Colonels were aided by the return of Fred Hunter who returned to form and earned first-team allconference, all-Louisiana and second-team all-district honors by the NABC and USBWA. With the loss of Hunter to graduation, the Colonels will be looking to a string of upperclassmen that have been in the program for a few years in seniors Dantrell Thomas, Jeremy Smith and Pedro Maciel, among others.

Thomas started every game but one in his junior season, finishing second on the team in scoring averaging 13.8 points per game and 14.4 points per game in conference play. It was a banner year for the Many, La., native as he not only averaged a career high in points, but also in rebounds (4.9) and free throw percentage (.826).

Maciel is the last remaining senior on the team and saw time in 26 contests last year, averaging 13.2 minutes per game.

The lone junior on the squad that will serve as the floor general is Shane Rillieux, who has missed just one game in his entire Colonel career. He is already in the top 10 all-time Nicholls rankings averaging 31.4 minutes per game in his

tenure. By the time he completes his career, he could be among the school leaders in both starts and games played.

Nicholls will get the rest of its scoring punch by a trio of sophomores who broke through and played well in their first season in Thibodaux, as T.J. Carpenter, Amin Torres and JaMarkus Horace all return to reprise their roles on the team. Carpenter staked his claim early as one of the top sharpshooters in the league, hitting a team-leading 47 3-pointers on the season and averaged ten points per game. Torres saw action in 26 games and routinely poured in double-digit points from the bench when he made his way onto the court, with Horace providing the brute force down low in the paint as he made 11 starts and played in 28 contests.

Although this will be their third season on the roster, the Colonels are hoping to get a full season of play from Australian staples Lachlan Prest and Sam McBeath. Prest played in just eight games last season before requiring surgery on the same knee that cut his freshman season short two years ago. McBeath played in 27 games and made 22 starts as a freshman and was looking for a breakout sophomore season until a myriad of injuries ended his year after just six games.

The Colonels will have a lot of competition waiting in the wings with players that were acclimated to the college game during their redshirt seasons in Piers Carroll, Ja’Dante Frye and Drew Caillouet. Nicholls adds five newcomers to the group in 2013-14 in heralded guard Luke Doyle, forwards Cade Towers and Liam Thomas, as well as Alex Overs and J’Aaron Thorne.

The schedule sets up to be another daunting task for the team as the group will square off with the likes of Indiana, Memphis, Auburn and North Texas in the non-conference portion before jumping into an expanded Southland Conference lineup in January. The Colonels will have 12 home games, including hosting UTSA and Oral Roberts and newcomers Houston Baptist, Abilene Christian and Incarnate Word.

TEAM PREVIEW

Known primarily as a spark plug off of the bench, Smith has been a reliable role player ready to transition into a quality everyday player for Nicholls. In two of his three seasons he’s shot better than 50 percent from the floor, and was second on the team in field goal percentage last season and averaged 7.4 points per game off the pine.

TEAM PREVIEW

J.P. Piper enters his 10th season at the helm of the Colonel basketball program, having amassed a 97-167 overall record through nine seasons.

Becoming just the fourth head coach in team history to have tenure last at least nine seasons, Piper led the Colonels to a record fifth consecutive conference tournament berth during the 2012-13 season. With a mix of upperclassmen leadership and influx of youth, Piper led the Colonels to the fifth seed in the tournament – the highest placing for the squad since the 2008 season. Under his watch, Fred Hunter was selected as a first team All-Southland guard, as well as first team All-LSWA, USBWA All-District and second-team NABC All-District.

With the second youngest team in the country in the 2011-12 season, Piper helmed a squad that only had one win through the first half of Southland play, before rallying the team to win five of their last eight games to make an appearance in the conference tournament for the fourth straight year. It’s the third time in program history that Nicholls has made the postseason tournament in four straight years, and with his fifth-straight double-digit winning season, ties coach Ricky Broussard for the second-longest streak in coaching history.

In 2010-11, Piper guided the Colonels to their fourth straight doubledigit win season and third straight appearance in the Southland Conference Tournament. It’s the third time in Colonel history that the team has made at least three consecutive appearances in the tournament since joining the league in basketball.

Under the direction of Piper and his coaching staff, Colonel guard/ forward Anatoly Bose finished ninth in the nation in 2010-11 with a 22.1 point/game average en route to being named Louisiana Basketball Player of the Year, first team All-Southland Conference and NABC first team all-district. Bose finished his career as the leading scorer in Nicholls history racking up 2,051 career points in his four year career.

Piper has gained a reputation for playing some of the toughest nonconference schedules in the country, dubbed ‘scheduling insanity’ by ESPN’s Andy Katz.

Before being named head coach at Nicholls in 2004, Piper served two seasons as the top assistant for the Colonels (2002-04) under the direction of head coach Ricky Blanton.

Prior to joining the college ranks, the Baton Rouge, La. native held the position of head basketball coach at The Dunham School (Baton Rouge, La.) where he guided the Tigers to a Class A State Championship in 1997-98 and to a second-place finish in 1998-99. Piper was named Class A Coach of the Year in 1999 and was selected as head coach of the Louisiana High School Athletic Association (LHSAA) East All-Star Team. Piper’s leadership was evident off the court as he served as principal of The Dunham School for three years and President of the Louisiana High School Basketball Coach’s Association for two years.

The 44-year old is married to the former Renee Denson of Baton Rouge. They are the parents of two children, Hayden (14) and Riley (12).

Piper and his family reside in Thibodaux, La.

NORTHWESTERN STATE DEMONS SEASON OU TLOOK

With nine returning lettermen from last year’s 23-9 team that reached the NCAA tournament, including two of the main cogs in DeQuan Hicks and Jalan West, it’s not surprising that Northwestern State is a popular pick to win the Southland Conference regular-season crown in 2013-14.

But as veteran coach Mike McConathy will quickly point out, the Southland is too balanced and competitive to have a prohibitive favorite, and there are several real contenders for the championship. He does admit the Demons are among them.

Hicks, who averaged 14.0 points and 5.9 rebounds per game, was the Southland Newcomer of the Year as a power forward and West, who added 10.2 points, 5.3 assists and 2.4 steals per game, was the league’s freshman of the year

SOU THLA ND HISTORY

at point guard last season as Northwestern finished a close second in the league standings and won the Southland tournament to reach the NCAA tournament while posting a 20-win season for the third time in nine years.

The return of Hicks, West and explosive Brison White, along with proven veterans Patrick Robinson, Marvin Frazier, Gary Stewart and Tyler Washington, bodes well for the Demons, who enter their 15th season under McConathy.

In running an aggressive defense and fast-breaking offense that ranked second nationally in scoring and sixth in steals last season, McConathy typically uses two five-man rotations and will have to replace his second and third-leading scorers, conference tournament MVP Shamir Davis and James Hulbin, an all-Southland pick, along with two more of his top 10, swingman Gary Roberson and postman O.J. Evans.

The Demons will get help from a pair of freshmen, threetime Louisiana Class C Player of the Year Zeke Woodley and Sabri Thompson. Both are swing guards and Woodley can be very effective inside. He shapes up as a contender to give the Demons two straight Southland Freshman of the Year honors.

Helping offset the departures of Evans and Hulbin are returning junior Marvin Frazier, who started to evolve into a low post threat down the stretch last year, and a pair of junior college transfers. Ryan King will be an inside defensive presence, while Matt LeBato should fit into Hulbin’s mold of a bigger perimeter threat who can go down low at times.

TEAM PREVIEW

The X-factor is McConathy’s leadership. He became the winningest men’s college basketball coach in Louisiana history late last year, and with 575 victories in 30 years, he’s seen plenty. McConathy is a veteran voter on the USA Coaches Top 25, is a former member of the NCAA tournament’s regional selection screening panel, and is nationally recognized among major college coaches who put education ahead of hoops. More than 85 percent of his seniors have graduated.

NORTHWESTERN STATE DEMONS MIKE McCONATH Y Head Coach 15th Year

6-7, 230, Senior

Alma Mater Louisiana Tech, 1977

Racine, Wis.

Record at NSU: 223-213 (14 years) Career Record: 575-372 (30 years)

TEAM PREVIEW

Northwestern State celebrated its centennial last season. There couldn’t have been a more appropriate person to be in charge at Northwestern than head coach Mike McConathy, who has engineered many of the greatest accomplishments in the program’s 100-year history.

In 2012-13, McConathy became the winningest men’s college basketball coach in Louisiana history. Combined with his 352 career victories at Bossier Parish Community College during 16 seasons beginning with launching the program, McConathy has won 223 more in 14 years at Northwestern for a career total of 575 all-time wins.

The 2012-13 Demons finished with a 23-9 record, posting the second-biggest win total ever at Northwestern. The season culminated with a Southland Conference tournament championship and the school’s third berth in the NCAA tournament.

McConathy has won 61 percent of the games he’s coached. With the Demons, he is 150-114 against Southland Conference foes.

He received the 2012 National Association of Basketball Coaches Guardians of the Game Pillar Award for Education during the 2012 NCAA Final Four in New Orleans. It is among the most prestigious awards presented by the NABC, representing one of the four core values of the Guardians of the Game program – education, leadership, advocacy and service. Nearly 85 percent of the seniors in his program have graduated.

Three Division I head coaches – Marquette’s Buzz Williams, McNeese’s Dave Simmons and Mark Slessinger of New Orleans – have served on his Demon coaching staff.

His Demons have been to the Big Dance three times (2001, 2006, 2013), winning an NCAA tournament game in the first two trips, and reached to the Southland Conference yournament championship game seven times in his 14 seasons.

His Demons captured the hearts of the nation in March 2006 with their appearance in the NCAA tournament. NSU became the “Cinderella team” in the first-round of the tournament by beating regional thirdseed Iowa, 64-63, on a last-second basket. Iowa was ranked 15th in the country and had just won the Big Ten tournament.

His sons, Michael and Logan, played for him on Demon basketball teams and graduated with honors. Their mother, Connie, works on the Northwestern campus and is a constant presence during her daily fitness walks in and near Prather Coliseum with Mike.

McConathy is one of the great players in Louisiana Tech history. He was enshrined in 2011 in the Louisiana Tech Athletic Hall of Fame after averaging 20.7 points and scoring 2,033 career points from 1973-77 for the Bulldogs, leading them to the 1975-76 Southland Conference championship when he was voted Southland Player of the Year. He was named to the Southland’s All-Decade Team for the 1970s in 2013 when the league celebrated its 50th anniversary.

His wife Connie is a career educator who runs the Bossier Parish Community College campus in Natchitoches on the Northwestern State campus.

COACHING HISTORY Season Bill White Ken Trickey Jerry Hale Lake Kelly Ken Hayes Dick Acres Ted Owens Bill Self Barry Hinson Scott Sutton Much like the shooting guard, the three-spot is full of versatile players who can cause matchup problems for a number of teams, including all-conference selection Shawn Glover. Glover is the team’s leading returning scorer at 14.4 points per game and will be the key cog in the offense.

Junior college transfer Adrion Webber is another matchup problem thanks to his solid outside game, and the coaches will look to Webber to bring a maturity to the team with his experience. Corbin Byford returns healthy after sustaining injuries and eventually deciding to redshirt last season. With a year of practice and an improving outside shot, Byford’s athleticism allows him to score the basketball in a number of different ways.

One of the biggest question marks on the team is the inside play. Without dominant big man Damen Bell-Holter and the athleticism of Steven Roundtree, the Golden Eagles will need to get a spark from one of four talented, but inexperienced options down low.

Sophomore Brandon Conley returns as one of the most experienced players inside, despite planning to redshirt last season. Conley played in 31 of the team’s 35 games and made 11 starts in his rookie campaign.

Seven-footer Jorden Kaufman returns for his sophomore season after missing the second half of the season with a lingering injury, but showed glimpses of the ability that he has. Junior college transfer Denell Henderson has experienced plenty of success, and the coaches feel can step in right away and contribute in a number of areas.

Highlighted by a trip to the 2013 Cancun Challenge, the 2013-14 schedule will not be an easy road for the Golden Eagles. Road games at Big 12 foes Kansas State and Baylor, as well as regional rivals Wichita State and Tulsa highlight the non-conference portion. With the turn of the calendar, ORU will make its second run through the Southland Conference, beginning with a Jan. 2 date with conference newcomer Houston Baptist inside the Mabee Center. The 2014 Southland Conference tournament will again be held in Katy March 12-15.

TEAM PREVIEW

The 2013-14 season will once again be a year in which ORU coach Scott Sutton will enter with many questions and hope that they are answered quickly as he puts together one of the youngest teams in America. Despite having essentially eight players on the roster who have not played in a Division I game under Sutton, it is a group that should adjust quickly with two Division I transfers and two Junior College players, as well as a redshirt freshman.

“I really like the nucleus of guys coming back,” Sutton said. “We’ve got a great player and great scorer in Shawn Glover, who will be carrying a bigger load for us this year.

Korey Billbury, D.J. Jackson and Brandon Conley gained so much valuable experience last year as freshmen having to play so many minutes. We kind of had to throw them into the fire and I thought they responded and I thought had good freshman years.”

After redshirting last year, transfer Obi Emegano and freshman Corbin Byford have also had the opportunity to get familiar with Sutton’s system and will impact the team immediately.

D.J. Jackson returns for his sophomore season after posting an outstanding freshman season directing the ORU offense. With a team-high 91 assists, Jackson played in all 35 games and made 16 starts in his first year. Incoming freshman Jabbar Singleton will also see significant time, bringing a toughness that has carried over from his time as a standout running back on his high school football team.

Former manager David Mason, who will walk on the team this season, will also serve as a point guard.

A loaded position, the number of quality guards on the 2013-14 roster will require some versatility by players and game plans to get everyone on the court at the same time.

After a successful freshman campaign, including 21 starts and a 6.1 point-per-game average, Korey Billbury proved that he can be the diverse guard, dishing out 87 assists and grabbing nearly four rebounds per game. Emegano’s Division I experience and toughness will prove vital as well.

Add in a pair of talented scorers in incoming freshmen Dederick Lee and Bobby Word and the Golden Eagles will have plenty of depth on the perimeter.

Record at ORU: 270-177 (14 years) Career Record: 270-177 (14 years)

TEAM PREVIEW

The all-time winningest coach at ORU, Scott Sutton has posted 270 wins in 14 seasons leading the Golden Eagles. Since the start of the 2001-02 season, Sutton has guided the Golden Eagles to a 247-141 mark. During that same span, ORU has finished either first or second in the conference standings nine times.

Facing a new league, Sutton guided the 2012-13 squad to a third-place finish in the Southland Conference, a postseason berth and a second consecutive 20-win season. ORU earned three all-conference selections in Warren Niles (first), Damen Bell-Holter (first) and Shawn Glover (second), with Niles and Bell-Holter also garnering first team all-district honors from the NABC. Additionally, the Golden Eagles advanced to the third round of the CIT and broke a streak of 11 consecutive postseason losses, dating back 38 years.

Sutton has guided ORU to seven 20-win seasons, five Summit League regular-season titles, three tournament championships, three NCAA tournament appearances, two berths in each the NIT and CIT. But perhaps most impressive for Sutton and the Golden Eagles since 1999 are the upset victories. Nearly every season since 200203, the Golden Eagles have knocked off at least one power conference team. During Sutton’s tenure ORU has defeated the likes of Arkansas, Georgetown, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma State, Stanford, Seton Hall and USC. But at the top of that impressive list is ORU’s 78-71 victory at No. 3 Kansas on Nov. 15, 2006. That win not only came against Sutton’s mentor and former ORU boss Bill Self, but happened on the night Sports Illustrated proclaimed the Jayhawks as the top team in the land in its annual preview issue.

In 14 seasons at the reigns Sutton has produced four All-Americans, four Freshman All-Americans, 29 all-conference selections, four conference players of the year, four conference newcomers of the year, two conference defensive players of the year, and three conference sixth man of the year picks.

Growing up as the youngest son of a legendary coach, Scott paid close attention to his father, and has borrowed a few notes from dad as well. He also had the opportunity to play for his father at Oklahoma State from 1992-94, helping the Cowboys reach the NCAA tournament both seasons.

From his days as a youngster watching his father coach at Creighton, Arkansas and Kentucky, to his days as a player for him at Oklahoma State, to his days as an assistant coach at ORU under Self and Barry Hinson, Scott had learned a lot about the game... and ORU. In truth, Sutton’s love and devotion to ORU, along with his Christianity, basketball knowledge and recruiting ability helped him earn his first head coaching position. It has also helped him get through the highs and lows he has experienced since being named as ORU’s 11th head coach on April 30, 1999.

Sutton and his wife, Kim, are the parents of three daughters: Hallie (12), Lauren (10), and Maggie (7).

TEAM PREVIEW

Sam Houston State dazzled the 2013 Southland Conference Tournament in Katy last March, upsetting No. 3 seed Oral Roberts in the quarterfinals after a first-round victory over Central Arkansas.

In the semifinals, against eventual tournament winner Northwestern State, Sam Houston led most of the game before falling 55-52.

With four returning starters plus a quality group of newcomers, head coach Jason Hooten and his staff hope to build off that post season momentum to push the Bearkats into success in the 2014 Southland Conference race.

As an assistant coach for six seasons and head coach the past three years, Hooten has been a key contributor in Sam Houston’s program that has rolled up a record of 175-108 during the past nine years.

Since Hooten joined the Bearkat staff in July 2004, Sam Houston has earned Southland tournament berths every year, won three West Division titles and finished among the top three teams in the league standings seven times. Sam Houston traveled to the NCAA tournament in New Orleans in 2010 after winning both the Southland regular-season and tournament championships.

A characteristic of every Hooten-coached Bearkat squad is tough defense and last year was no different.

The 2012-13 Bearkats ranked second in the Southland in scoring defense, allowing 61.2 points per game. Sam Houston was 16-5 in games in which the Bearkats limited opponents to 63 points or less.

The Bearkats also ranked second behind regular-season champion Stephen F. Austin in Southland Conference field goal defense (.406) and three-point defense.

In Sam Houston’s victories, the Bearkats held opponents to 53.5 points per game and .359 field-goal shooting.

Four starters who accounted for 27.4 of Sam Houston’s 63.8 points per game return in 2013-14.

James Thomas, a 6-5 forward, was the team’s most valuable player last season. He was the only Bearkat to average in double figures in Southland play (11.0). Thomas

SAM HOUSTON STATE BEARKATS JASON HOOTEN Head Coach Fourth Year

6-1, 180, Sophomore

Alma Mater Tarleton State, 1993

Austin, Texas

Record at SHSU: 48-49 (three years) Career Record: 48-49 (three years)

TEAM PREVIEW

As the head coach at Sam Houston State since April 2010, and an assistant for the Bearkats for six seasons, Jason Hooten has been a key contributor in the Bearkats’ outstanding men’s basketball program that has rolled up a record of 175-108 during the past nine years.

Since Hooten joined the Bearkat staff in July 2004, Sam Houston has earned Southland Conference tournament berths each year, won three West Division titles and finished among the top three teams in the league standings seven times.

The Bearkats won both the Southland regular season and tournament titles to advance to the NCAA Division I Regional in New Orleans in 2010.

In his first season as Bearkat head coach in 2011, Hooten directed the Bearkats to their third consecutive Southland Conference West Division championship and the program’s seventh consecutive winning season.

The Bearkats’ 18 wins represented the most victories by a first-year head coach in the program’s NCAA Division I history. Following the season, Sam Houston State’s Gilberto Clavell was recognized as Southland Conference Player of the Year and became the program’s third NCAA Division I All-America selection.

Battling through early season injury setbacks in 2012, Hooten’s second Bearkat team bounced back for five big league wins in a stretch run that clinched Sam Houston’s 10th consecutive post-season tournament appearance. In his third year at Sam Houston in 2013, Hooten’s Bearkats battled their way to the semifinals of the Southland tournament. Seeded No. 6, the Bearkats defeated No. 7 seed Central Arkansas 69-63 and No. 3 seed Oral Roberts 58-55 before falling to the eventual tournament champion Northwestern State 55-52.

As an assistant coach, Hooten helped direct SHSU to a 127-59 record, four 20-plus victory seasons and Southland regular season and tournament championships and an NCAA tournament appearance in 2010. Since 2000, only one of the 20 NCAA Division I programs in the state (the University of Texas) has won more games since 2000 than Sam Houston.

Previously, Hooten served as assistant men’s basketball coach at Tarleton State for Lonn Reisman. During his tenure, the Texans posted a combined 204-111 record. Hooten also played basketball at Tarleton, helping lead the Texans to a 52-10 mark. He returned to Tarleton in August 1993 after serving as a part-time assistant coach at Weatherford Junior College.

A 1987 graduate of Killeen Ellison High School, Hooten lettered in basketball and baseball. He earned all-district, All-CenTex and All-Super CenTex while leading his team to the bi-district championship as a senior.

He holds school career records for scoring and assists. In baseball, he twice earned All-District honorable mention and lettered three years.

Hooten holds two degrees from Tarleton State, earning a bachelor’s in exercise and sport studies in 1993 and a master’s in 1995. He was recognized as an “Outstanding Alum” by Tarleton State in 2012.

Hooten is married to the former Kristen Miller. The pair have a daughter, Jadyn, and a son Jayce.

SOUTHEASTERN LOUISIANA LIONS SEASON OU TLOOK

Julian Chiera, a native of Argentina, played the previous two seasons at Laramie County Community College. The swingman averaged 14.2 points and 4.1 rebounds for the Golden Eagles in 2012-13 while shooting 84 percent from the free throw line and 40 percent from behind the 3-point line. He finished 14th nationally among junior college players with 3-pointers made and posted season-highs in points (25) and 3-pointers (seven) in helping LCCC to a 21-11 record and a quarterfinal appearance in the Region IX Tournament.

Andrew Guillory played the previous two seasons at Hill Junior College where he averaged 13.8 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.1 assists as a sophomore in 2012-13. He started in all 30 games for the Rebels last season and shot 53 percent from the floor and 43 percent from behind the 3-point line. Guillory scored in double figures in 25 games for the Rebels, scoring 20 or more in five contests. He scored a season-high 25 points, with four 3-pointers, in a win at McLennan Community College.

Add in high school signee Josh Filmore and the Lions have a solid group of newcomers to replace production lost off last year’s team. Filmore, a native of Orlando, Fla., averaged 14.6 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.3 assists as a junior at Wekiva High School where he led a Mustang squad that featured 11 newcomers to a 16-11 record. As a junior, Filmore set single-season records for points scored (410) and 3-pointers (61). As the leading returning scorer, Evans looks to command the offense as the starting point guard after averaging 9.3 points and 2.4 assists per game last season. Ricard, just behind Evans in scoring, chipped in 9.0 points and 1.5 assists.

Ochie came out of his shell in the tournament, filling in at center for the injured Ro Johnson. The 6-foot-6 junior scored 15 points in the win against McNeese State and 12 against Stephen F. Austin. That trio along with Benton and Campbell must provide the leadership for another front-loaded schedule.

Southeastern takes on Missouri, LSU, Arkansas and Mississippi State out of the SEC. There are also matchups with Rice, North Texas and Tennessee-Martin. The Lions will host conference games with Northwestern State, Stephen F. Austin, McNeese, Nicholls, Sam Houston and Lamar as well as Southland newcomers New Orleans, Abilene Christian and Incarnate Word.

After a productive summer, Southeastern Louisiana will look this season to build upon the momentum established in Southland Conference play a season ago.A key component of that spring run was a fifth campaign for Brandon Fortenberry after he suffered a season-ending injury in December 2011.

The leading scorer in 2012-13, Fortenberry finished his career having played in the most games in school history.

He is Southeastern’s fifth all-time leading scorer (1,348 points) while finishing second in assists (421), fourth in 3-pointers made (168), fifth in free throws made (292) and sixth in steals (110).

The four-man senior class of Antonnio Benton, Jeremy Campbell, Dre Evans and Jeffery Ricard helped the Lions rebound from a rough start last season to finish with 10 wins in conference and pick up a first-round victory in the Southland Tournament. Now they’ll have to help Southeastern establish a new identity on the court and they’ve already gotten off to a strong start in preparation for the 2013-14 grind.

“We’ve got a number of veterans coming back, but we also have a good number of newcomers that will make contributions,” Yarbrough said. “For us to be back in the top four spots again, we’re going to need those contributions immediately. I think we had a nice summer. That’s important academically as well as athletically. I think it was a factor that neither Jeff or Dre was able to be here last summer to work on their conditioning or get with the guys and play.

This year even our newcomers were here.”

Jim Yarbrough and company added several junior college transfers to the mix. JaMichael Hawkins, who played at Alcorn State as a freshman, transfers in from Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College where he averaged 17.1 points and led the Bulldogs to a 17-8 record and semifinal berth in the MACJC State Tournament.

Devonte Upson spent the past two seasons at Trinidad State Junior College. As a sophomore in 2012-13, he started in 25 games, averaging 11.1 points, 7.0 rebounds and was second in NJCAA Region IX with 1.6 blocked shots. He posted five double-doubles and scored in double figures in 19 contests. Upson scored a season-high 16 points in two games last season, the last coming against Laramie County Community College where he also grabbed a season-high 17 rebounds.

SOUTHEASTERN LOUISIANA LIONS JIM YA RBROUGH Head Coach Ninth Year

5-9, 170, Senior

Alma Mater Florida State, 1987

Dallas, Texas

Record at SLU: 121-117 (eight years) Career Record: 218-157 (13 years)

TEAM PREVIEW

Entering his ninth season as head coach at Southeastern Louisiana, Jim Yarbrough has helped make the Lions not just one of the top programs in the Southland Conference, but one of the top Division I programs in the state of Louisiana. Yarbrough has kept the Lions on a consistent course during his tenure, producing winning campaigns in five of his eight years and advancing to the Southland Conference tournament seven times.

Replacing Southeastern graduate and current Texas A&M coach Billy Kennedy in May 2005, Yarbrough has done an excellent job of keeping the program competitive. His 121 wins in Hammond are the third-most in school history and his .508 winning percentage is the best for a program that has been looking for a solid foundation.

A job coaching high school basketball in Florida led to stops as an assistant coach at the collegiate level beginning in 1993 at West Florida before six seasons as an assistant at the College of Charleston. During his tenure at CofC, Yarbrough would be part of unprecedented success – a 153-28 record with two trips to the NIT and three to the NCAA tournament. His success as the top assistant at Charleston led to his first head coaching job in 2000 at Valdosta State. The Division II school had not participated in an NCAA tournament in moer than 20 years.

In only his second season in south Georgia, Yarbrough was able to establish his vision and traditions for success. The Blazers went 24-8 and advanced to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament. VSU kept winning and Yarbrough kept fine-tuning his blueprint. His success at Valdosta State centered on a staple of Southeastern basketball the last few years – defense.

Emphasizing a tough, pressure defense, Yarbrough’s teams were consistently ranked among the national leaders in scoring defense and field goal percentage defense. During his five-year tenure at VSU, Yarbrough’s teams finished the season in the top 10 in scoring defense four times while finishing in the top-10 in field goal defense twice. Even in Yarbrough’s inaugural season at VSU, the Blazers finished 18th among Division II schools in scoring defense despite an 11-14 record. Interestingly, some of the coaching opportunities Yarbrough has been offered over the last 24 seasons have been questioned by colleagues and others.

Confident and a builder by nature, Yarbrough can’t help but see the value in each player he coaches and each person he works with, and he realizes every “big” win for the program, in conference or out, and every drop of sweat gets the Lions closer to their desire for ultimate respect and the joy it brings for everyone involved.

Named as Southeastern’s 11th head basketball coach on June 23, 2005, Yarbrough brings tremendous energy and a wealth success to the Florida Parishes as both a head coach and assistant after averaging nearly 22 wins per season and earning postseason berths seven times in an 12-year span.

A native of Tampa, Fla., and a 1987 graduate of Florida State University, Yarbrough is married to the former Glynda Burton and they are the parents of two children, daughter Samantha and son Jack.

STEPHEN F. AUSTIN LUMBERJACKS SEASON OU TLOOK

SOU THLA ND HISTORY

The 2013-14 edition of defending Southland Conference champion Stephen F. Austin will have a much different look and feel than last season. Former South Carolina assistant Brad Underwood begins a new era of SFA basketball in his first full season as a head coach after taking over for Danny Kaspar, who departed for Texas State in April.

guard from Northern Oklahoma Junior College, helping the Jets to a 45-20 in his two-year junior college career. He got into 29 games as a freshman, averaging 7.5 points per game and nearly doubled that as a sophomore, averaging 13.1 points and 6.5 boards per contest in earning first team all-region honors.

SFA, who went 27-5 last season en route to a school record in wins and their third Southland Conference title, returns six lettermen including senior shooting guard Desmond Haymon. Haymon averaged 10.6 points per game in 2012-13 and will look to carry much of the scoring load this season.

Cameron was the MVP of the Florida state tournament as a senior. He averaged 10.8 points, 6.4 assists, 3.0 rebounds, 2.3 steals as a senior in addition to being named the Broward County Player of the Year twice in his prep career.

Other returnees include freshman forward Patrick Costello, senior forward Nikola Gajic, junior forward Jacob Parker, sophomore guard Trey Pinkney, senior shooting guard Deshaunt Walker and sophomore shooting guard Thomas Walkup.

Parker was one of the top perimeter shooters for SFA last season, connecting on 26-of-63 shots from beyond the arc (.413) while averaging 7.2 points and 4.3 rebounds per contest. Parker scored in double-figures 10 times.

Walkup was the Lumberjacks’ sixth man last year and was the team’s top offensive rebounder. Pinkney is expected to start at point guard after backing up Bateman last season.

Last season Brown-White averaged 17 points and 10 rebounds per game for the Vikings. Brooks is a 6-4 shooting

Dotson, a shooting guard from D.W. Daniel High School, finished up his 2012-13 senior season by being named the region’s player of the year and guided the Lions to a 21-8 record, advancing to the semifinals of the state tournament. He was also selected to play in the Carolina Classic all-star game, featuring the top seniors from South Carolina and North Carolina.

Sergeant is a 6-9 post from Tyler Junior College, and averaged 5.5 points and pulled in 2.8 rebounds for the Apaches, who went 22-9 in 2012-13. Originally a native of Bronx, N.Y., Sergeant will bring much-needed bulk and depth to a Lumberjack roster, which will return just two players at 6-6 or taller.

2013-14 SOUTHLAND CONFERENCE BASKETBALL

TEAM PREVIEW

The Lumberjacks will enter the season with eight newcomers, including three transfers. SFA had to reload after losing the reigning Southland Player of the Year Taylor Smith and second-team all-conference selections Antonio Bostic and Hal Bateman to graduation.

Clayton, is a 6-9 power forward from Arizona Western Junior College and will bring immediate size and athleticism to the Lumberjack frontcourt. Originally a signee of USC as a volleyball middle blocker, Clayton decided to go the basketball route after his redshirt season with the Trojans.

As a sophomore he averaged 9.8 points, 10.5 rebounds and hit 42.9 percent from beyond the arc on the season, earning all-conference and all-region second team honors.

STEPHEN F. AUSTIN LUMBERJACKS BR A D UNDERWOOD Head Coach First Year

6-3, 190, Senior

Alma Mater Kansas State, 1986

Pickens, Miss.

Record at SFA: 0-0 (first year) Career Record: 0-0 (first year)

TEAM PREVIEW

Underwood is the 11th head coach in Stephen F. Austin history and comes to SFA after an extensive coaching career that includes 27 years in the coaching profession, with the last two seasons as an associate head coach at both South Carolina and Kansas State with current Gamecock head coach Frank Martin.

In his final season in Columbia, he helped reel in a recruiting class ranked in the national top 40 by ESPN.com. He was also credited with playing a major role in helping to revitalize the Kansas State program, which posted 20-win campaigns and advanced to the postseason, including four trips to the NCAA tournament during all six of his seasons at Kansas State.

Underwood spent the 2012-13 season as Martin’s top assistant in the staff’s first year in Columbia, helping the Gamecocks to four more wins than the previous season. Underwood served on the Kansas State staff for six years, beginning in May 2006 as the director of operations for then-head coach Bob Huggins. Underwood was promoted to assistant coach prior to the 2007-08 season, Martin’s first as the head coach at Kansas State. A Kansas State graduate, Underwood helped coach several all-conference players and two All-Americans at his alma mater, while helping the Wildcats win at least 21 games each season and finishing fifth or higher in the Big 12 each year.

Underwood joined the Wildcat staff in 2006, after spending three seasons as the head coach at Daytona Beach Community College in Daytona Beach, Fla. He helped guide the Falcons to a 70-24 (.745) overall record, including three consecutive 20-win seasons and two Mid-Florida Conference Championships from 2003-06. He was twice selected as the Mid-Florida Conference Coach of the Year following the 2003-04 and 2004-05 seasons. He saw 14 players go on to receive scholarships at four-year programs, including Travis Aikens (Marshall), Demetrius Green (Middle Tennessee State), David Lawrence (College of Charleston), Solomon Jones (South Florida) and Blake Young (K-State).

An honorable mention All-Big East selection at USF in 2006, Jones was selected in the second round of the NBA Draft by Atlanta Hawks.

Prior to his time at Daytona Beach, Underwood spent 10 years as an assistant coach at Western Illinois under Jim Kerwin. The Leathernecks produced a 135-174 record from 1992-2003, including a 79-97 mark in Mid-Continent Conference play. The team advanced to the finals of the Mid-Continent Conference tournament three consecutive seasons (1995, 1996, 1997) and achieved five consecutive seasons of winning at least 16 games. Underwood earned his first head coaching position in 1988 at Dodge City Community College in Dodge City, Kan., where he spent four seasons as the program’s head coach, guiding the Conquistadors to a 62-60 record from 1988-93. His 1990-91 squad compiled a 23-9 record and was ranked as high as No. 4 in the nation.

Underwood earned his bachelor’s degree in radio and television communications from Kansas State in 1986, where he was a two-year letterman for the Wildcats (1984-86). A native of McPherson, Kan., he and his wife, Susan, have one son, Tyler, and two daughters, Katie and Ashley.

COACHING HISTORY Season Ronnie Arrow Perry Clark Willis Wilson Texas A&M-Corpus Christi will be the most experienced team Willis Wilson has fielded in his three-year tenure at the university. The Islanders return nine letter winners and four starters from a season ago, including honorable mention All-Southland Conference selection John Jordan.

After having just three impact upperclassmen and no seniors in the 2012-13 season, the Islanders feature two seniors and four impact players who are in their third year with the program. Along with Jordan, seniors Joy Williamson and Zane Knowles are both expected to play a significant role in their second year for the Islanders, while Hameed Ali and James King will be strong leaders. The team also features the return of redshirt sophomore Jake Kocher, who missed last season with an injury.

The team took part in a four-game, 10-day tour of Italy in late August that allowed the Islanders to take part in 10 extra practices and to suit up together against an outside opponent prior to the 2013-14 school year. It also gave significant in-game experience to the Islanders two key freshmen – Jeff Beverly and Rashawn Thomas.

Jordan returns to the court for his third season as a fulltime starter for the Islanders, and is expected to be in the running for Southland Conference Player of the Year. A season ago, he averaged 12.8 points, 5.5 assists and 4.8 rebounds, numbers that were eclipsed by just three players in NCAA Division I. He enters the year with 2,003 career minutes, just outside the school’s top 10, having played in 59 games in two years.

Record Pct. 134-91 .596 54-71 .432 12-47 .203

A trio of second-year guards will also be key to the Islanders’ success in 2013-14. Brandon Pye saw the most minutes a season ago, playing in all 29 games and averaged 4.1 points while providing solid shooting from the outside. Cole Martinez saw action in 22 games last year, and will return with his strong three-point shooting ability. Jelani Currie played in 18 contests last year, and came on strong at the end of the year, averaging 5.0 points on 10-for-17 shooting in the last five games.

Also providing depth in the backcourt will be freshman walk-ons Marcus Ellison and Emmanuel Toney.

The team’s only two departed letterwinners come from the frontcourt, where the Islanders will turn to two returners and two strong newcomers to replace the departed Nate Maxey and Will Nelson. Knowles should be a major force on the inside after battling injuries to play in 24 games and start 12 last year. The 6-foot-10, 240-pounder averaged 5.3 points and 4.0 rebounds and shooting .519 from the field. Also back in the fold is sophomore Dale Francis, who played in 29 games and posted 18 starts a season ago. He was a strong defensive presence for the team and averaged 2.0 points and 2.0 rebounds as well.

Johnathan Jordan

The Islanders’ two impact newcomers will both be in the frontcourt. Freshmen Jeff Beverly and Rashawn Thomas are both expected to play significant minutes and be right in the mix for a starting spot at the 4. Beverly was a first team all-district selection at Clear Springs in Houston after averaging 22.3 points and 11 rebounds as a senior.

Thomas was a late bloomer for Southeast High School in Oklahoma City, being named Big All-City Player of the Year and a McDonald’s All-America nominee. He averaged 22 points and 15 rebounds on the season.

TEAM PREVIEW

Williamson and Ali both return to the backcourt after averaging 8.3 and 7.5 points, respectively, and also being strong defenders, having finished first and second on the team in steals a year ago. Kocher is also expected to be in the running for a starting spot after missing the 2012-13 season with an injury. As a freshman, the Austin native played in 29 games and was one of the top players on the team at the end of the year. King should provide great depth off the bench after being one of the top outside shooters on the team last year.

Years 1999-2007 2007-10 2011-present

Transfer Bryce Douvier (Northern Colorado) will have to sit out the 2013-14 season due to NCAA transfer rules, but will be an impact performer for the scout team and in practice.

Alma Mater Rice, 1982

Houston, Texas

Record at TAMUCC: 12-47 (two years) Career Record: 231-293 (18 years)

TEAM PREVIEW

From the first day of Willis Wilson’s tenure Texas A&M-Corpus Christi in March 2011, he made it instantly clear what his goal for the program was.

“We want to be the premier program in the Southland Conference and follow down the paths of a Butler, Gonzaga, George Mason or Virginia Commonwealth.”

Taking a program with one NCAA yournament appearance and just 12 years of Division I history into a place alongside the premier names in college basketball is a tall task. The first step is building a culture and foundation for the Islanders.

The program’s philosophy for recruiting student-athletes – Character, Toughness, Talent – will be a major step in the building process for the Islanders. These attributes in basketball players that work hard will build Islanders Basketball into a championship program.

In the 2012-13 season, the Islanders had one of the youngest teams in all of college basketball, with no seniors and just three players taking the court who were a regular part of the rotation the year before. With no group of five that had played a single minute of college basketball together, A&M-Corpus Christi went through some growing pains in playing a tough, road-heavy schedule early on.

But the Islanders finished the season strong, going 4-4 in their final eight conference games, with all four of those losses coming at the hands of the league’s top three teams. Sophomore Johnathan Jordan was the highlight, earning honorable mention all-league honors after averaging 12.8 points, 5.5 assists and 4.8 rebounds. Only three players in the nation had better numbers in those three categories than Jordan did. Junior Will Nelson also earned honorable mention after leading the team in rebounding and scoring.

Before coming to Corpus Christi, Wilson served two seasons as an assistant to Josh Pastner at the University of Memphis. In two years, he saw the Tigers go 49-19 and advance to the postseason both years.

During the 2010-11 season, the Tigers went 25-9, won their fifth Conference USA Championship and a berth in the 2011 NCAA tournament.

In his first season for the Tigers, Wilson helped guide the Tigers to a 24-10 overall record and an NIT berth.

Wilson became one of the most respected coaches in the country in his time as the head coach at his alma mater, Rice. In 16 years leading the Owls, Wilson posted a career record of 219-246, leading the Owls to the NIT in 1993, 2004 and 2005.

Prior to taking over the reins of the Rice program, Wilson spent the 1991-92 campaign as an assistant on Mike Montgomery’s staff at Stanford. Wilson began his collegiate coaching career as an assistant at his alma mater in 1985-86. After a one-year stint as a head coach at Houston’s Strake Jesuit Prep, Wilson returned to Rice as an assistant from 1987-91.

Wilson and his wife, Vicki, have three children, daughter, Kristin, and twin sons, Zachary and Keenan.

50TH ANNIVERSARY ALL-DECADE TEAMS

Throughout the 2012-13 season, the Southland Conference announced alldecade teams for the five decades the league has played men’s basketball.

To best assess the candidate pool for the all-decade team, the Southland Conference developed a metric that analyzed numerous elements of a

student-athlete’s performance and value within the league at the time. Most notably, the conference honored “realtime” factors such as all-conference selection by coaches and a player’s statistical performance among his peers at the time.

Further, other components of selection including a player’s effort toward helping his team win a championship or finish near the top of the conference, whether he earned individual honors from the league, if he participated in postseason tournaments, and if he was drafted by the NBA or ABA at the time.
