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 academic and athletic accomplishments of its member institutions.

What began as a small gathering of college administrators 50 years ago, the Southland Conference has transformed itself into a dynamic and respected consortium of 10 member universities in four states. Beginning with a historic meeting of five institutions in Dallas on March 15, 1963, that included current member Lamar University (then Lamar State College of Technology), 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 welcomes the addition of Oral Roberts University in 2012-13, marking the league’s first entry into the state of Oklahoma and the Tulsa metropolitan area. The Southland will soon welcome four additional members, including Houston Baptist University, the University of New Orleans, Abilene Christian University and the University of Incarnate Word for the 2013-14 academic year. This gives the league members in key population centers Houston, San Antonio and New Orleans, all home to significant student-recruitment and alumni bases. Further, original Southland member Abilene Christian, one of the most decorated athletic programs in the NCAA, will return to the league after a 40-year absence.

In addition to its newest and incoming 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.

All told, the membership of the Southland encompasses approximately 120,000 current

students and an alumni base of nearly 700,000. 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 stars Kevin Millar (Lamar) and Wade Miley (Southeastern Louisiana), NBA legend Scottie Pippen (Central Arkansas), Grammy Award-winning musicians Don Henley and Rodney Crowell (both Stephen F. Austin), NFL standout Lardarius Webb (Nicholls State), PGA Tour golfer Chris Stroud (Lamar), award-winning filmmaker Richard Linklater (Sam Houston State), American Idol winner Kris Allen (Central Arkansas), NCAA football coach Charlie Strong (Central Arkansas), TV personality Kathie Lee Gifford (Oral Roberts), and NFL coaching legend O.A. “Bum” Phillips (Lamar, Stephen F. Austin),

The cities of the Southland are diverse and progressive, ranging from international business and cultural centers such as Houston, New Orleans, Tulsa and Little Rock, to the historical cities of Nacogdoches, Texas, and Natchitoches, La., to the home of the modern oil boom, Beaumont, Texas, to the unique Cajun French cultures found in the Louisiana cities of Thibodaux and Lake Charles. Southland Conference institutions also draw large numbers of students from the metropolitan areas of Dallas-Fort Worth, San Antonio, Baton Rouge, Austin, and Shreveport.

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

THE SOUTHLAND CONFERENCEwomen’s tennis, and volleyball.

Continuing its tradition of innovation, the league launched the Southland Conference Television Network in the fall of 2008 and has already broadcast more than 130 events. The network is expanding its reach to roughly 11 million households throughout Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Oklahoma in 2012-13. In its first four years, the regional network has received recognition for its work, earning College Sports Media and Telly Awards on a regular basis.

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.

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, Sam Houston State finished the regular season undefeated and ranked No. 1 nationally, and 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 seven national championship games since the league joined the Football Championship Subdivision (formerly I-AA) in 1982. All told, Southland teams have played in 99 Division I playoff games in 30 years, winning 48 of the contests.

Historically, the Southland’s successful football heritage has sustained itself through numerous membership and classification changes. Originally an NAIA conference, the Southland joined the NCAA College Division in 1968. The College Division was re-named NCAA Division II in 1973, and the league played two seasons in that class, 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 was instrumental in the startup of the 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 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 five trips to the postseason, including the semifinals in 2004. Nicholls State has participated three times in the playoffs, and Central Arkansas made its playoff debut in 2011. On four occasions, the Southland has placed three teams in the NCAA playoffs.

The Southland has produced 163 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 (205) in the National Football League draft. The league also ranks third in the FCS with 25 players taken in the draft since 2000 and has 13 former players on NFL rosters heading into the 2012 season.

The Southland Conference has also sent such talent to the professional ranks as Buffalo’s Terrence McGee (Northwestern State) and Felton Huggins (Southeastern Louisiana), Minnesota’s Rhett Bomar (Sam Houston State), Jacksonville’s Bryan Smith (McNeese State) and Larry Hart (Central Arkansas), Tennessee’s Jacob Ford (Central Arkansas), Baltimore’s Lardarius Webb (Nicholls State), Seattle’s Dominique Edison (Stephen F. Austin) and Green Bay’s Antonio Robinson (Nicholls State), who became the Southland’s 24th player to win a Super Bowl when the Packers beat Pittsburgh in Super Bowl XLV in Arlington in 2011.

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 45-plus years. The league has sent two 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 2011.

Coaches such as Billy Tubbs, Mike Vining, Scotty Robertson, Jack Martin, Andy Russo, Bobby Paschal and Pat Foster have led 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 three seasons, at least three Southland teams reached the postseason, and in 2011, half of the current members, five (including newcomer Oral Roberts), earned postseason berths. A Southland team has played in the WNIT 12 times, including each of the last six 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 non-conference 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 Conference has had more players win that award.

The Southland also fares well each year in the Major League Draft. Seventeen players were selected in 2012, a year after the league saw 25 players taken in 2011, which matched 1995 for the most in its history. The league, which has had 456 draft picks all time, has had two players, Ben Sheets (Louisiana-Monroe) and Michael Choice (UT Arlington) taken seventh in the draft, marking the league’s highest-ever draft picks.

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. After 26 years as a college head coach, including his last five years at Sam Houston State, Mark Johnson retired following the 2011 season with 1,043 career wins. He is among an impressive list of coaches who have patrolled Southland Conference dugouts, including 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 UT 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 won NCAA track and field national championships, including Northwestern State’s Trecey Rew, who won the women’s discus in 2011, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi’s Shadrack Songok (10,000-meter

run) in 2007 and 2008 and McNeese State’s Brad Gebauer (pole vault) in 2007. The league has also produced U.S. Olympic track and field medalists Earl Bell, Thomas Hill, Al Joyner and Charles Austin, Liudmila Litvinova, along with other Olympians. 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. The league has sent multiple teams into postseason play on numerous occasions, including in 2012 when three Southland teams – Lamar, Southeastern Louisiana and UT Arlington – competed in the NCAA tournament. Additionally, during the past four seasons the Southland has sent 10 golfers to compete as individuals in regional play with five in 2009, three more in 2010 and one each in 2011 and 2012. 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 four times in the last six 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.

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.

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 six 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 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 completing his 10th year of service with the Southland, and has a conference administrative background reaching well over two decades.

Burnett has helped to enhance the Southland’s membership, with the recent addition of Oral Roberts University, and the upcoming 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 will give the Southland 14 members, the largest configuration in its 50-year history.

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 approximately 130 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 Pizza Hut Park. 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 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 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, 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, 48, 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.

COMMISSIONER’S CUP

After winning four regular-season team championships and finishing in the top four in seven other sports, Stephen F. Austin claimed its second Southland Conference Commissioner’s Cup in 2011-12.

Stephen F. Austin compiled 145.5 points to edge Texas State, which had 140.0 points. The Lumberjacks won their second Cup in the last three years and has now finished in the top three in the last four Cup standings. SFA is one of five Southland universities to win at least two Commissioner’s Cups, joining Sam Houston State, UT Arlington, UTSA and Texas State.

The SFA men had 65.5 points to finish tied for second place with UT Arlington in the men’s all-sports trophy standings behind Lamar, which had 67.5 points. The Lumberjacks, who won the previous two all sports trophies, finished in the top three in four sports and finished fourth in another two. SFA finished second in men’s basketball and had third-place rankings in football and indoor and outdoor track and field. The men’s cross country and golf teams each had fourth-place showings in their respective conference championships.

The SFA women totaled 80.0 points to finish second behind Texas State in the standings for the women’s all-sports trophy. The Ladyjacks claimed a league-best four regular-season championships, winning soccer, indoor track and field, tennis and outdoor track and field. In women’s soccer, the Ladyjacks put together the school’s best season with an undefeated conference record. The indoor and outdoor track and field titles were the seventh and eighth consecu-tive victories for the senior class, setting a Southland record. The Ladyjacks have finished in the top-three of the women’s all-sports trophy in each of the last five years. The SFA women last claimed the trophy outright in 2010.

The first-place finish for the men’s all-sports trophy for Lamar is its best finish since the Cardinals came in second in 2008. The Lamar men finished first in both cross country and golf while placing third in men’s basketball. The cross country championship for the Cardinals was their sixth consecutive title and league-leading 11th overall in the sport. The title in men’s golf was the 24th overall and the program’s first since 2009.

Texas State claimed its 12th women’s all-sports trophy and its 10th in the last 12 years with 93.0 points. The Bobcats won confer-ence titles in volleyball and softball and finished second in soccer, golf and tennis. The Texas State women finished third at the indoor and outdoor track and field championships and had a fourth-place showing in cross country. The women’s basketball program had a fifth-place finish to complete a successful 2011-12 Texas State women’s campaign for all sports.

UTSA (138.5) finish third in the Commissioner’s Cup standings behind Texas State by less than two points. Lamar (129.0) and Sam Houston State (120.5) came in fourth and fifth place, respectively.

UT Arlington (116.0) finished sixth, McNeese State (110.0) was seventh and Central Arkansas (94.5) finished in eighth place. Texas A&M-Corpus Christi (85.5), Southeastern Louisiana (70.5), Northwestern State (63.5) and Nicholls State (55.0) round out this year’s standings.

The Commissioner’s Cup is awarded annually to the top overall athletics program in the Southland. Texas State leads all member institutions with four. In the 15-year history of the Commissioner’s Cup, UT Arlington and Sam Houston State each have three, Stephen F. Austin and UTSA have two apiece, and Northwestern State has one.

The Southland Conference all-sports trophies are awarded annually for men’s and women’s competition based on a 12-point system for all conference sports. Point values are 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1, pending place of finish. Regular-season standings are used for sports that have a conference tournament. The Commissioner’s Cup is awarded to the university compiling the highest combined total of men’s and women’s all-sports points.

SOUTHLAND ACADEMIC AWARDS

The Southland Conference presents five academic accolades to recognize student-athletes 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 RollNow 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 YearEstablished 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-AthleteBeginning with the 1996-97 season, the conference annually recognizes the

outstanding male and female student-athletes from each of the league’s member institutions. Student-athletes 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 ScholarshipThe 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 AwardThe 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.

Newcomer Oral Roberts University is Preseason Pick to Win Southland TitleSouthland Conference newcomer Oral Roberts was tabbed by the league’s coaches and sports information directors to win

the conference title in its first season. Oral Roberts, which joins the Southland from Summit League, is coming off a regular-season conference championship and a trip to the National Invitational Tournament. The Golden Eagles picked up seven first-place votes from the coaches and six from the SIDs. ORU returns preseason second-team all-conference senior guard Warren Niles and junior Steven Roundtree to a team that finished 29-7 last year.

Stephen F. Austin was selected second in both polls, garnering the remaining three first-place votes from the coaches and four from the SIDs. The Lumberjacks finished second in the West Division last season with a 20-12 overall mark and a 12-4 Southland record, which earned them the second seed in the conference tournament. SFA return preseason first-team all-conference selections senior guard Antonio Bostic and senior forward Taylor Smith.

Northwestern State, which is led by first-team all-conference selections Shamir Davis and second-team James Hublin, was picked third by the coaches followed by McNeese State and Lamar, respectively. In the SID poll, Lamar and McNeese State were slated in a tie for third followed by Northwestern State. The Cowboys return preseason second-team all-conference Dontae Cannon while the defending tournament champions Cardinals return only one starter and welcome nine newcomers.

In the coaches’ poll, Southeastern Louisiana was picked sixth followed by Sam Houston State seventh. Nicholls State and Central Arkansas tied for the eighth spot and Texas A&M-Corpus Christi rounded out the poll. According to the SIDs, the Bearkats were selected sixth, the Lions seventh and the Colonels eighth. Concluding the poll were the Bears and Islanders in ninth and 10th, respectively. With10 teams in 2012-13, the Southland will not play in divisions.

Three All-Conference Selections Return for 2012-13 SeasonThree players who earned All-Southland Conference honors last season return to highlight the preseason all-conference teams

as selected by the league’s coaches. Stephen F. Austin senior guard Antonio Bostic, Northwestern State senior guard Shamir Davis and Central Arkansas junior guard LaQuentin Miles make up three of the five sports on the first team. Bostic was a first-team selection at the end of last season, while Davis and Miles earned third-team honors. They are joined on the preseason first-team by Southeastern Louisiana senior guard Brandon Fortenberry and Stephen F. Austin senior swingman Taylor Smith.

Bostic shot 42.6 percent from field and 74 percent from the free-throw line while leading the Lumberjacks in minutes played (1,094) and steals (42). He tied for the team lead with 141 field goals made and was second on the team with 11.3 points per game. Davis averaged 13.3 points overall and 12.7 points and 3.1 assists in conference play while shooting 45 percent from the field and 72 percent from the stripe. Miles led the Bears and was fourth in the conference in scoring, averaging 14.9 points per game last year. He led the league with 57 steals and was third in the conference with 3.1 offensive rebounds per game. Fortenberry returns for his fifth season after being limited to only seven games last year after a foot injury ended his season in December. A preseason all-conference pick last year, he was averaging 17.6 points 3.7 rebounds and 2.7 assists before the injury. Smith joins Bostic on the first team after a season in which he averaged 9.2 points and 6.3 rebounds off the bench. He led the team with a 70.1 field-goal percentage, 201 rebounds and 42 blocks.

The second-team preseason all-conference squad consists of Oral Roberts senior guard Warren Niles and junior forward Stephen Roundtree, McNeese State senior Dontae Cannon, Northwestern State senior forward James Hulbin and Nicholls State senior forward Fred Hunter. It shouldn’t take long for opponents and fans to learn about Niles and Roundtree, who helped lead the Golden Eagles to a 29-7 record that included a Summit League regular-season title and NIT appearance. Niles was the second-leading scorer on last year’s team with 12.1 points per game to go with 3.7 rebounds, while Roundtree, a former Summit League Newcomer of the Year, earned that league’s Sixth Man of the Year Award after averaging 9.8 points and 5.3 rebounds off the bench. Cannon helped McNeese State reach its second consecutive postseason trip after it played in the final of the conference tournament each of the last two years. He averaged 11.5 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.8 assists. Hulbin averaged 8.4 points and 4.1 rebounds per game while Hunter earned a spot despite an injury last year. He averaged 15.8 points and 6.3 rebounds in 2010-11.

and dropped a 76-63 decision in Toledo, Ohio. The loss closed out the Cowboy season at 17-16. It was the fourth year of the tournament and the first appearance for the Cowboys in the event. The Cowboys had four players in double figures including 11 points from Adrian Fields, who came off the bench. Despite the loss, McNeese dominated the offensive boards, 13-4. It was the second consecutive postseason appearance for the Cowboys, which hosted an NIT game in Lake Charles in 2011.

Southland to Play 28 Non-Conference Games against Teams in 2012 Postseason TournamentsNine of the 10 Southland Conference teams will play 28 non-conference games against teams which reached the postseason

in 2012. Included in that total are 17 games against teams which played in the NCAA tournament and six games against teams that participated in the National Invitation Tournament. There are five games against teams that played in the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament. Lamar will play six games against postseason teams from a year ago, including five games within a 33-day span. Nicholls State will challenge four teams that saw postseason action last year including a trip to Utah State. Southeastern Louisiana and Sam Houston State have three games slated against representatives from the NCAA tournament a year ago. Lamar, McNeese and Southeastern will hit the road against three teams that made it to the Elite Eight. The number could go up pending announcement of matchups in BracketBusters and how far can adavance in the preseason NIT.

Southland Conference Will Grow to 14 Teams for 2013-14Oral Roberts University is the new kid on the block in the Southland Conference this season, but it will become an instant

veteran of the league in 2013-14 when the conference welcomes four more schools into the fold, increasing the membership to 14 institutions. The league announced last November that Houston Baptist University would join the Southland, but this past August Southland commissioner Tom Burnett announced the addition of three more schools. The University of New Orleans, Abilene Christian University and the University of the Incarnate Word will be welcomed into the conference 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, will return 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 complete in time for the 2017-18 season.

Are You Southland Strong?The Southland Conference has launched a new marketing campaign known as “Southland Strong.” 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 help promote the campaign by joining the social media conversation by using the #SouthlandStrong hashtag to tell why someone or something is Southland Strong.

THIS IS SOUTHLAND BASKETBALL

Southland Conference men’s basketball is celebrat-ing its 50th season during 2012-13. The league has experienced a tremendous amount of success during the league’s first 49 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 Du-mars, 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. For-mer member Trinity University was the first Southland Conference school to qualify for the NCAA Division I tournament, qualifying for the 1969 event, after play-ing 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 Cham-pionship 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 contin-ued 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 first-round 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 seen six league players selected in the opening round of the NBA Draft, in-cluding a league-best two players in the 1985 draft. Louisiana Tech’s Karl Malone was drafted 13th over-all 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, respec-tively, 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.

The league will feature three teams that reached the postseason a year ago. Lamar played in the NCAA tournament while McNeese State was rewarded with an appearance in the CollegeInsider.com Tourna-ment. League newcomer Oral Roberts played in the NIT last year and brings a strong basketball resume to the Southland. The Golden Eagles have made 13 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.

The Southland has also experienced success in the National Invitational Tournament, beginning in 1980, when Louisiana-Lafayette advanced to the quarter-finals with wins over UAB and Texas. In 1986, the league sent a record three schools to the NIT – Loui-siana 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 conso-lation game against Florida.

SCENTRAL ARKANSAS BEARSCENTRAL ARKANSAS BEARS

Central Arkansas coach Corliss Williamson has had two seasons to see what it takes to win in the Southland Conference. The former NCAA and NBA champion hopes his Bears are more prepared for that task this season than in the past two.

UCA returns one of the top players in the conference in junior guard LaQuentin Miles, six others who played significant roles on last year’s team – including the top three scorers – and a talented group of six newcomers that Williamson hopes will help put the Bears smack in the middle of the conference race.

Miles, from Jacksonville, Ark., led the Bears in scoring at 14.9 points per game, and also averaged 5.0 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 2.0 steals per game. He scored in double figures 19 times and topped the 20-point mark seven times. Miles led the league in steals, was third in offensive rebounds and was in the Top 15 in field-goal percentage at 47.8 percent.

UCA’s other top returnees are a pair of senior guards in 6-foot-7 Jarvis Garner and 6-5 Robert Crawford. Garner was a solid complement to Miles, averaging 10.6 points and leading the Bears in rebounding at 6.0 per game. Garner led the Bears in scoring in four of their last eight games down the stretch, including a career-high 28 points at Nicholls State.

Garner, from Conway, also shot 44.3 percent from three-point range, which would have placed him third in the Southland if he had had enough attempts.

Crawford, from Broken Arrow, Okla., did rank second in the conference in three-point percentage, hitting 44.6 percent (37 of 83) from beyond the arc. He averaged 7.8 points and shot 47.8 percent from the field overall.

Jarvis Garner

Forward Jordan Harks, a smooth 6-8 junior, showed promise last season in his first year with the Bears and should play an even bigger role as a junior. Harks averaged 7.6 points and 4.9 rebounds last season.

Guards Ryan Williams and Oliver Wells both return with Williams having two seasons under his belt and Wells one after coming over from the football team last season. Both have good playmaking skills, while Williams is the better perimeter shooter and Wells shines with his on-court leadership. Lenell Brown also saw playing time in 26 games last year as a freshman and provides a defensive spark off the bench with his quickness.

The top newcomer is 6-3 guard DeShone McClure, who helped Navarro College to the NJCAA national tournament last season. McClure hails from the same hometown as Miles (Jacksonville, Ark.) and helped the Red Devils to a 6A state championship in 2009.

The other five newcomers are all freshmen. Terrell Brown is a 6-5 forward from Jacksonville who was an all-state selection who averaged 16 points and seven rebounds. Daouda Berete is a 6-4 guard from Little Rock Hall who was the MVP of the 7A State Tournament as the Warriors won the state title. Zach Padgett is a 6-5 guard from Port Allen, La., while 6-9 Sean Young and 6-11 Alexander Ridley will be counted on for their size.

UCA opens the 2012-13 season at Arizona State on Nov. 10, and also has dates at Oklahoma State and Mississippi State. Sacramento State comes to the Farris Center, as does in-state rival Arkansas State.

SLAMAR CARDINALSLAMAR CARDINALS

Fresh off its first NCAA tournament appearance in over a decade, Lamar is looking to continue the immediate success it enjoyed under first-year coach Pat Knight last season.

If the Cardinals are to make another run at the Southland Conference crown and a postseason berth, they will have to do so with a vastly different group than last year. Lamar lost its top five scorers from a year ago and will rely on a small group of returnees and a talented incoming class.

Senior forward Stan Brown is the lone returning starter after averaging 4.9 points and 4.3 rebounds per game last year. The Cardinals also welcome back three other frontcourt players in senior Nikko Acosta, junior Osas Ebomwonyi and sophomore Sebastian Norman.

Ebomwonyi appeared in all 35 games for the Cardinals last season and finished second in the Southland Conference in blocked shots at 1.8 per game.

Bolstering the frontcourt will be a pair of newcomers in junior transfer Amos Wilson and freshman D.J. Muepo. Wilson posted 16.3 points and 5.6 rebounds per game last season for Collin County Community College, while Muepo was an all-city player at Dorsey High School in Los Angeles.

Senior guard Donley Minor is the only returning player in the Cardinals’ backcourt. Minor has appeared in 94 games during his first three seasons and has knocked down 62 career 3-pointers. He is an 83.6 percent free throw shooter for his career, as well.

Freshman Rhon Mitchell will see his first playing time for the Cardinals this year after redshirting the 2011-12 season. Mitchell is a swing player who posted 17 points and eight rebounds per game as a senior at Inglewood (Calif.) High School.

Sophomore transfer Hondo Webb looks to move into the starting point guard role left vacant by Anthony Miles. Hondo was a teammate of Wilson’s at Collin County and was the Texas Class 2A Player of the Year as a senior at Melissa High School.

Five other guards will round out the Lamar roster and battle for playing time. Freshman Keilan Blanks joins the Cardinals out of Spring Hill (Tenn.) High School where he posted senior year averages of 20 points and just over nine assists per game.

Freshman Donnell Minton comes to Lamar from Northwest High School in Indianapolis. Minton was an honorable mention all-state selection after averaging 22 points per contest.

Australian import Matt Hancock is a shooter who can play the off guard or forward positions. The freshman has extensive club experience in his homeland and averaged nearly 20 points per game in earning school MVP honors.

Sophomore transfer Brennan Doty will be eligible after the first semester per NCAA transfer rules. A local product out of Port Neches-Groves High School, Doty originally went to Oregon to play football before beginning his basketball career at Lamar.

Freshman Brian Curran is the final player, joining the Cardinals after a stellar prep career at Juan Diego Catholic (Utah) High School. A second-team all-state selection, Curran averaged 15 points per game as a senior.

Under Knight, the Cardinals will once again face an all Division I schedule. In addition to playing in the Preseason NIT, Lamar will have road games at Alabama, Arkansas State, Baylor, Charlotte, Louisiana-Lafayette, Purdue and Texas-Pan American.

The Cardinals only non-conference home game before Southland play will be against LIU-Brooklyn on Dec. 29. Lamar will also host an ESPN BracketBusters game Feb. 23 against a yet to be determined opponent.

The Cardinals will open their conference slate at Stephen F. Austin on Jan. 3. The league will feature a true home-and-home schedule with all 10 schools facing each other twice before the conference tournament which will once again be held in the Merrell Center in Katy, Texas.

PAT KNIGHTHead CoachSecond Year

Alma MaterIndiana, 1995

Record at LU: 23-12 (one year)Career Record: 73-73 (four years)

Knight came to Lamar after 10 seasons at Texas Tech, including his 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.

Knight guided the Cardinals to their sixth NCAA Tournament ap-pearance and first since the 1999-2000 season. Lamar capped its run through the Southland Conference Tournament with a 70-49 win in the title game over McNeese State.

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 ties for the third highest single season total in school history.

Knight, who is the 10th person to coach Lamar since the university became a four-year institution in 1951, guided the Red Raiders to an 83-80 win over fifth-ranked Texas in just his eighth game as a head coach, while his first victory on the college level came against No. 18 Kansas State five games earlier. The Red Raiders were a solid 40-20 (.667) at United Spirit Arena under Knight.

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

SMcNEESE STATE COWBOYSMcNEESE STATE COWBOYS

McNeese completed its 2011-12 season with a 17-16 record, the runner-up slot in the Southland Conference tournament and an appearance in the CollegeInsider.com postseason tournament where it fell at Toledo. It was the second consecutive year for McNeese to play in a postseason tournament. In 2010-11, McNeese hosted Boston College in the first round of the NIT.

Cowboy head coach Dave Simmons, the Southland and Louisiana coach of the year in 2011, posted his 100th career coaching victory during the season when his team beat Sacramento State. He has an 87-99 record at McNeese in his sixth season and maintains a 114-128 career record. Simmons led McNeese to a 21-12 record and to the Southland title in 2010-11.

McNeese losses All-American Patrick Richard but returns its next two leading scorers in Dontae Cannon, who averaged 11.5 points per game, and Jeremie Mitchell, who averaged 10.8 points per game. Mitchell ranked third in the conference with 2.2 three-point goals made per game while Cannon ranked second in the league in minutes played (34.9) and fourth in free-throw shooting (.800, 72 of 90).

Overall, McNeese will return three starters and seven lettermen. Those returning accounted for 57 percent of the team’s scoring last season and 61 percent of the

minutes played. Despite the loss of Richard, the 2012-13 season appears to be a reloading year for McNeese.

Mitchell, a 6-foot-3, 180-pound senior guard from Monroe, led the team in scoring six times last season including three 20-point games. He tied his career-high against Louisiana College, Central Arkansas and Texas-Arlington.

Cannon, a 6-1, 168-pound senior guard from Alexandria, La., led the team in scoring four times last season, including a career-high 22 points in a home game against Stephen F. Austin in the middle of an eight-game win streak.

The Cowboys will look to regain the services of Craig McFerrin, a 6-7, 230-pound sophomore forward who was lost Jan. 29 against Central Arkansas due to a shoulder separation. McFerrin averaged 4.4 points and 3.2 rebounds in 17 games last season. Also, sophomore Desharick Guidry started 12 of the last 14 games of the season as a true freshman and scored in double-figures eight times.

Sophomore point guard Kevin Hardy averaged 13 minutes a game as a freshman last year and sank 47.3 percent from the field and 45.5 percent from 3-point range. Hardy ranked third on the team in field goal shooting , was fourth in assists and fifth in steals.

In the offseason, McNeese signed a couple of highly touted big men in Jordan Wells, a 6-7, 250-pound forward from Little Cypress-Mauriceville High School in Orange, Texas, and Austin Lewis, a 6-8, 215-pound post out of Westfield High School near Houston.

Wells could have an immediate impact for the Cowboys in 2012-13. He earned District 20-AAAA Defensive Player of the Year honors and was named to the Orange Leader all-area first team after he averaged 12.7 points, 7.8 rebounds and 2.5 blocks per game.

The Cowboys will have a challenging non-conference schedule that includes road games at LSU (Nov. 13), at Ole Miss (Nov. 20), at Texas Tech (Dec. 16), and to top it off, at North Carolina (Dec. 22).

McNeese Will play host to two in-state rivals – Louisiana-Lafayette on Dec. 8 and Louisiana Tech on Dec. 12. Other home non-conference games include the season opener against Louisiana College on Nov. 9, Centenary on Nov. 27 and Texas-Tyler on Dec. 3.

DAVE SIMMONSHead CoachSeventh Year

Alma MaterLouisiana Tech, 1981

Record at MSU: 87-99 (six years)Career Record: 114-128 (eight years)

Dave Simmons did something for McNeese State that no other head coach in school history has done – take his teams to national postseason tournaments in back-to-back years. 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.

Simmons earned the Southland Conference Coach of the Year honor as well as that for the state of Louisiana in 2011 and was also named the district coach of the year by the National Association of Basketball Coaches. 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.

He’s now 87-99 in six seasons with the Cowboys.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 Conference a first-round NCAA victory for the first time since the 1980s.

During a 28-year career Simmons has coached more than 20 players who have gone on to play in the professional ranks including Karl Malone.

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.

SNICHOLLS STATE COLONELSNICHOLLS STATE COLONELS

With almost an entirely new lineup last season, Nicholls State returns an experienced core of players in 2012-13, as many considered it one of the youngest in the nation last season.

After posting double-digit win totals each of the last five seasons, the Colonels will be looking for more this year under ninth-year head coach J.P. Piper, who is just 12 wins shy from becoming only the third coach in school history to win 100 games in a career.

This year’s version of the Colonels will feature nine returning lettermen from a season ago, as well as four starters to give the team consistency heading into the new season. The eight newcomers give Nicholls some added depth to areas at the guard and forward spots.

Junior guard Dantrell Thomas battled through a lingering leg injury last season, but still played in 22 of Nicholls’ 30 games and averaged 23.1 minutes per game. He finished second on the team in scoring with 11.7 points per game and shot 46 percent from the floor. In early February, he averaged 20.5 points per game and finished the season with eight consecutive double-digit scoring games.

Returning to the fold after using last season to rehab is 2009 Southland Conference Freshman of the Year Fred Hunter. The senior, who shot 57 percent in his last active season in 2010-11 is fully recovered and saw significant playing time in the team’s exhibition tour of Australia.

Starting 22 games as a freshman, Sam McBeath finished second on the team in 3-pointers made, rebounding and blocked shots as he finished the year being named the College Sports Madness Southland freshman of the year. On four different occasions, the Sydney, Australia, native drilled four 3-pointers in a game, and grabbed at least eight boards in five.

One of the more consistent players on the team is redshirt junior Jeremy Smith. Smith played in all 30 games and garnered 15 starts on the season as he led the team in field goal percentage with a 55-percent clip. That average was fifth in the Southland last season, as he tied a team record going a perfect 5-for-5 from the field against Dillard.

Fred Hunter

At point guard, the Colonels have two options beginning with sophomore guard from New Orleans, Shane Rillieux. Rillieux started all 30 games for Nicholls, averaging 31.8 minutes per game which was seventh in the league last season. He was one of only three players on the team to play in every contest, with three games of 40 minutes or more.

Pedro Maciel redshirted last season after an aggravated knee injury kept him out for most of the season in his first year from Pearl River Community College. However, the Brazilian also saw action during the four-game tour of Australia last summer after rehabbing most of the year.

Playing right until the start of the new year before tearing a ligament in his knee, Lachlan Prest returns as a dangerous 3-point shooter who shot 41-percent from the field and 40-percent behind the 3-point line. Sterling Bailey played in 22 games last season and averaged 8.1 minutes per game, while Linden Smith-Hyde started the last 13 games of the season pulling down 56 boards.

The eight newcomers on the team are all freshmen beginning with Australian standout Piers Carroll, a 6-foot-6 forward. Dominique Vallejo joins the team after a solid career at Woodlawn in Baton Rouge. Andrew Caillouet from H.L. Bourgeois, Travis Julien from St. James and Ja’Dante’ Frye from E.D. White will be names familiar to Colonel fans as all three hail from in and around the Thibodaux area.

The challenging 2012-13 schedule has the Colonels playing only two games at home before a grueling 18-game Southland slate with the addition of Oral Roberts to the league. Nicholls opens the season at Vanderbilt, the SEC tournament champion, and plays Missouri, Michigan State and Nebraska on the road, coupled with the World Vision Classic hosted by Utah State.

Outside of Mobile on Nov. 13 and New Orleans on the 26th, the Colonels will not have a home game during the month of December, but will begin January with back-to-back contests at Stopher Gymnasium with Central Arkansas and Oral Roberts’ first trip to the bayou for the first of nine home Southland games.

J.P. PIPERHead CoachNinth Year

Alma MaterSoutheastern La., 1991

Record at NICH: 88-143 (eight years)Career Record: 88-143 (eight years)

J.P. Piper enters his ninth season at Nicholls State, having amassed an 88-146 overall record through eight seasons.

With the second youngest team in the country in the 2011-12 season, Piper mentored a squad that only had one win through the first half of Southland play, before it rallied to win five of its last eight games to make an appearance in the conference tournament for the fourth consecutive year. It’s the third time in program history that Nicholls has made the postseason tournament in four consecutive years. With his fifth consecutive season with double-digit wins, he tied Ricky Broussard for the second-longest streak in school history.

Under the direction of Piper and his coaching staff, former Colonel guard/forward Anatoly Bose finished ninth in the nation in scoring in 2010-11 with a 22.1 points per game 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 school’s leading scorer, racking up 2,051 career points.

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 the Class A State Runner-Up spot 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.

SNORTHWESTERN STATE DEMONSNORTHWESTERN STATE DEMONS

Northwestern State will commemorate its rich basketball history during its centennial season while optimistic, veteran coach Mike McConathy hopes the 2012-13 Demons will make some lasting memories with a blend of vibrant newcomers and proven letterwinners.

An unbeaten August tour of British Columbia showed flashes of what can unfold, even without three newcomers on the trip. McConathy is not given to overstatement, so when he says the 2012-13 Demons’ backcourt is comparable to what Northwestern had when it rolled through the Southland and beat Iowa in the 2006 NCAA tournament, take notice.

Back: leading scorer and senior combo guard Shamir Davis, a first-team preseason All-Southland Conference selection who led the Demons in scoring at 13.3 points per game a year ago.

Unleashed: highly regarded 2011 recruit Jalan West, snagged by an NCAA Clearinghouse technicality last season. The redshirt freshman combo guard served notice north of the border in August that he will be a significant contributor right away. One sign: in four games, 29 assists, four turnovers.

Incoming: explosive Neosho County (Kan.) Community College scorer Brison White, whose skills will ramp up Northwestern’s perimeter game. Last year, the 6-foot-1 sharpshooter averaged 15.7 points, 3.1 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.3 steals while making 49 percent of his shots.

White is among nine newcomers, six signees from this year along with a couple of walk-ons and West, one of Louisiana’s premiere recruits in the state’s 2010-11 class.

The biggest catch: 6-7 power forward DeQuan Hicks, who should emerge as a contender for converence newcomer of the year honors. An All-Region V selection in 2011-12 at New Mexico Junior College, Hicks averaged 13 points and seven rebounds while shooting 59 percent from the field. He led his team to a 23-9 record while he ranked in the conference top 10 in points, rebounds, field goal aim, blocked shots and double-doubles.

Senior frontcourt players James Hulbin and O.J. Evans, and sophomore Marvin Frazier, will team with Hicks trying to offset the graduation of center William Mosley, fifth all-time on the NCAA shot-blocking list. Improved team rebounding is a must for the Demons, whose amped-up quickness should make their pressure defense again rank

Gary Stewart

among the NCAA’s steals leaders.Hulbin, an athletic 6-8 forward who shot 32 percent

with 29 3-pointers last season, averaged 18 points a game in the August trip to British Columbia. He is a second-team preseason all-conference choice selected by the league coaches, who have seen him show flashes of brilliance during his first three seasons.

Evans and Frazier will join Hicks in the post, with Frazier able to pop outside at either forward slot to unleash a soft shooting touch.

In McConathy’s ensemble approach, there’s plenty of action to go around. Last year was typical: 10 different players started, 10 averaged at least 10 minutes per game, nobody – including Mosley, a first-team all-conference pick – averaged 30 minutes per game, and 10 scored in double figures at least once.

The 2012-13 team benefits from veterans who understand their roles. Gritty 6-4 guard Gary Stewart has put up double-figure scoring against foes like LSU and Mississippi State but is also a ball-hawking presence. The shutdown defender is 6-6 junior swingman Patrick Robinson, who started 13 league games last year due to his stop-ability when matched up against the opponent’s best perimeter threat. Nobody is more basketball-savvy than 6-4 senior forward Gary “Chucky” Roberson, who finished the year on a 10-game run in which he hit 52 percent overall and 48 percent on 3-pointers. Junior guard Tyler Washington is returning from a spring knee surgery, so the Demons aren’t sure if or when his sparkplug athleticism will be back in the rotation.

Finally, there’s the coach, starting his 14th season with the long-standing credo “championship basketball with a purpose.” McConathy has graduated more than 85 percent of the seniors who have played for him at Northwestern, and just received a National Association of Basketball Coaches “Guardians of the Game” award for promoting scholarship. His 2001 and 2006 Demon squads won NCAA Tournament games, and Northwestern has made 14 national television appearances, including six Southland Conference Tournament championship games. McConathy can become the state’s winningest all-time college basketball coach with 20 victories.

Alma MaterLouisiana Tech, 1977

Record at NSU: 200-204 (13 years)Career Record: 552-363 (29 years)

Northwestern State basketball celebrates its centennial this season. There could not be a more appropriate coach to be in charge at Northwestern than 13th-year head coach Mike McConathy, who has engineered many of the greatest accomplishments in the program’s 100-year history, and whose father, uncles and sons have their places in Demon basketball lore.

McConathy could become the winningest college basketball coach in Louisiana history, sitting 20 wins shy of Grambling’s Fred Hobdy. McConathy coached his state record 901st game in last year’s Southland Conference tournament and has won 61 percent of the games he’s coached.

He is 133-111 against Southland foes and has two NCAA tourna-ment wins (2001, Winthrop; 2006, Iowa). His Demons have been to the Big Dance twice and reached to the Southland tournament championship game six times in his first 10 seasons (2000, 2001, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008). His Demons captured the hearts of the nation in March 2006 with their appearance in the NCAA Tournament. Northwestern became the “Cinderella team” in the first-round of the tournament by beating Iowa, 64-63, on a last-second basket that completed a run from a 54-37 deficit with eight minutes to play.

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. Demon basketball has evolved in his tenure from being nearly an afterthought in the historic city of Natchitoches to providing the sports heartbeat of northwest Louisiana in February and March.

SORAL ROBERTS GOLDEN EAGLESORAL ROBERTS GOLDEN EAGLES

The 2012-13 season will be a first in a lot of ways for Oral Roberts. Most notably, it will be the first season of competition in the Southland Conference for the Golden Eagles, having played in the Mid-Continent/Summit League for the previous 15 years. As many as nine players could see the court in an ORU jersey for the first time, with six of those seeing their first collegiate action. Additionally, only two teams (Oklahoma and Missouri State) that ORU faced in 2011-12 are on the 2012-13 schedule.

That said, hopes are high for the Golden Eagles coming off a record-breaking 27-7 season and a regular season conference championship, which earned ORU a berth in the NIT. With two starters – Warren Niles and Damen Bell-Holter – returning, there is experience in the wings, led by 2012 Summit League Sixth Man of the Year Steven Roundtree. Mikey Manghum and Jake Lliteras, both of whom averaged around 10 minutes per game last year, will also return.

“I think we have a really good nucleus coming back,” said Sutton. “I think we are really good at positions two through five, when you look at Warren Niles, who I think will really blossom, a transfer in Shawn Glover who is extremely talented and then Steven Roundtree and Damen Bell-Holter, who have a ton of experience inside, it gives us a great group coming back. Those four give us a good core coming back.

“We need the other guys, Mikey (Manghum), Jake (Lliteras) and D.J. Jackson to have a great off season. We signed a number of guys that have a chance to come in and play immediately. And I’m excited about Korey Billbury, I think he can come in and play because of his toughness and he has good strength for a young player.”

Perhaps the most notable incoming freshman is Oklahoma product Corbin Byford, who was named the Jim Thorpe Award winner as the best player in the state

Warren Niles

after the all-state game. He is only the second player to attend ORU after winning the award, with three-time All-American Caleb Green being the other.

Other newcomers for the Golden Eagles include Caleb Tannehill, Brandon Conley and Jorden Kaufman, all of whom could see plenty of time on the court this season. After transferring from Western Illinois, Obi Emegano will help in practice, but will have to sit out the season due to NCAA rules.

Niles and Glover will likely be looked at to pick up the scoring roll left by All-American Dominique Morrison, but both have proven they are capable. Niles is the most recent name etched in the 1,000-point club, and holds the freshman record at ORU with 39 points against IUPUI, while Glover saw limited action at Utah, but dropped 30 points last year in the Blue-Gold scrimmage.

After selflessly giving up his starting spot last year, Roundtree was rewarded with Summit League Sixth Man of the Year honors, but will move back into the starting spot this year alongside Bell-Holter, who struggled with a back injury in 2011-12. Bell-Holter is already seventh in career blocks and another season like his sophomore campaign would put him near the top of the charts in ORU history.

With a core group returning, and promising talent coming in, ORU hopes to maintain the momentum earned last year with a 27-7 record, leaving the Summit League with a regular season championship.

The 2012 schedule has a mix of new opponents and old rivalries, highlighted by home games against Tulsa and Oklahoma. The Golden Eagles will also hit the road to face Arizona and Memphis, along with the Great Alaska Shootout during the nonconference season. Once January hits, it is all Southland Conference, with exception of a home game as part of the ESPN BracketBuster series.

SCOTT SUTTONHead Coach14th Year

Alma MaterOklahoma State, 1995

Record at ORU: 250-162 (13 years)Career Record: 250-162 (13 years)

The all-time winningest coach at Oral Roberts, Scott Sutton has posted 250 wins in 13 seasons leading the Golden Eagles. Since the start of the 2001-02 season, Sutton has guided the Golden Eagles to a 227-126 (.643) mark. During that same span, ORU has finished either first or second in conference standings nine times. Last year, the Golden Eagles won more regular season games than any other time in program history as an NCAA Division I program, tying the mark for overall wins entering the conference tournament.

Not only have the Golden Eagles have averaged more than 19 wins annually in Sutton’s 13 seasons, but during the last 10 that figure has grown to better than 22 victories a year. Sutton has guided ORU to six 20-win seasons, five Summit League regular-season titles, three tournament championships, three NCAA tournament appearances, two appearances in the NIT and one berth in the CIT.

During Sutton’s tenure ORU has defeated the likes of Arkansas, Georgetown, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma State, Stanford, Seton Hall and Southern California. 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 13 seasons at the reins, Sutton has produced one three-time All-American, four Freshman All-Americans, 26 all-conference selec-tions, 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.

SSAM HOUSTON STATE BEARKATSSAM HOUSTON STATE BEARKATS

With the momentum of a late season drive that earned the Bearkats’ their 10th consecutive Southland Conference tournament berth, Sam Houston State coach Jason Hooten looks to see his team back in the thick of the league title hunt in 2013.

Sam Houston has rolled up an overall record 245-146 since its 2000 Southland Conference championship. That ranks the Bearkats as the “winningest” program in the Southland during the past 13 years. Sam Houston also won league titles and the postseason tournament to advance to an NCAA regional in 2003 and 2010.

After several injury setbacks last November and December, the Bearkats bounced back to win five of their final nine Southland Conference regular season games.

Hooten will put a young squad on the floor in 2012-13 with only one senior, Darius Gatson. The 5-foot-11 guard and 6-4 junior guard DeMarcus Gatlin are the only starters back from last year’s 13-18 team that finished seventh in the league.

The G-men backcourt duo of Gatlin and Gatson, combined to contribute 17.1 points and 7.1 assists per game last season. Gatlin is the team’s top returning scorer with a 10.4 averages. Gatson ranked second in the Southland Conference in assists in 2012 with a 4.5 average. Both started all 32 games.

Three other letterwinners return for the Bearkats. Michael Holyfield, a 6-11 sophomore center, started 14 games and played in 13 others as a true freshman. He totaled 107 points, 100 rebounds and 16 blocks. Guards Aaron Harwell, a 5-11 junior, and Marquel McKinney, a 6-3 sophomore, both saw extensive playing time as reserve players in the backcourt.

Four of the five returning lettermen are Houston area products. Holyfield is an Albuquerque, N.M., native.

Two areas where the 2012-13 Bearkats look to improve are three-point field goal production and under the boards.

Sam Houston State’s 2010 Southland Conference championship team that battled Baylor in the NCAA Regional led the league with 287 three-pointers two years ago. Last year, the Bearkats connected on just 149 three-pointers.

The championship squad also boasted a plus 4.2 rebounding margin with 37.8 boards per game. Last year, Sam Houston managed only a 1.3 margin over their opponents.

To address those needs, the Bearkats have added six transfers and two freshmen for the 2012 season.

Erik Williams, a 6-7 transfer from Marquette who redshirted at Sam Houston in 2012, played in 43 games, starting 11 times during his two seasons with the Golden Eagles. James Thomas, 6-5 forward from Navarro, averaged 9.1 points and 6.3 rebounds for a 25-11 squad that earned a berth in the NJCAA national championships.

Terrance Motley, 6-7 forward from Western Nebraska, was an All-Nebraska Junior College and All-NJCAA Region IX selection in 2012. He averaged 10.1 points and 6.5 rebounds as he led the Cougars to within a pair of wins of earning a berth in the NJCAA national tournament.

Nathaniel Mason, 6-4 forward, led Des Moines Area Community College to a 25-8 overall record and the NJCAA Region XI championship game. Mason averaged 15.2 points.

Jeremy McKay, 5-10 guard from Wallace State in Alabama, earned NJCAA Division I All-America honors in 2012. Averaging 15.8 points he was a first team All-Alabama Community College Northern Conference and All-NJCAA Region 22 selection. Will Bond, 6-4 guard from Trinity Valley, averaged 10.1 points as he led his squad to an NJCAA Region XIV runner-up finish.

The Bearkats’ two high school signees both are backcourt standouts.

Paul Baxton, a 6-1 guard from Austin Bowie High School, earned All-Central Texas honors after averaging 18.4 points and leading the Bulldogs to their first district championship since 2007. Dakarai Henderson, 6-2 guard from Pearland Dawson, averaged 24.8 points as a senior and his 126 three-point baskets led Texas Class 4A high school basketball.

JASON HOOTENHead CoachThird Year

Alma MaterTarleton State, 1993

Record at SHSU: 31-32 (two years)Career Record: 31-32 (two years)

Jason Hooten has served as the head coach at Sam Houston State since April 2, 2010 after serving as an assistant coach for the Bearkats for six season. Hooten has been a key contributor in a program that has gone 158-91 during the past eight seasons.

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 conference player of the year and became the program’s third NCAA Division I All-American.

As an assistant coach, Hooten helped direct Sam Houston to a 127-59 record, four 20-plus victory seasons and Southland regular season and tournament championships and an NCAA tournament appearance in 2010. Only the University of Texas has more wins since 2000 than does Sam Houston.

Previously, Hooten served as assistant coach at Tarleton State. 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.

SSOUTHEASTERN LOUISIANA LIONSSOUTHEASTERN LOUISIANA LIONS

After an injury-plagued year that sidelined a potential player of the year candidate for nearly the entire season and an inconsistent team that came up short in several games in conference action, Southeastern Louisiana will look to re-establish itself in 2012-13 as one of the top programs in the Southland Conference.

And with the return of guard Brandon Fortenberry, a veteran group of returning players and a solid five-man recruiting class, the Lions are poised to get back to their winning ways and make a run at the Southland title under eighth-year coach Jim Yarbrough.

“We continue to be a program that is very competitive in the Southland Conference and each year, our conference opponents expect us to be competitive, possess some good talent and have a chance to make a run at the top of the league each year,” Yarbrough said. “The Southland Conference is a very good league and it’s no surprise as to how many good athletes and coaches have come from here, and how competitive this conference has been.”

Aided by the return of Fortenberry, who was averaging 17.6 points per game before suffering a season-ending foot injury in early December, Southeastern boasts a pair of veteran All-Conference caliber performers. Joined by senior forward Roosevelt Johnson, the Lions will possess one of the better inside-outside combinations in the league while returning players Todd Nelson, Jeremy Campbell,

Roosevelt Johnson

Antonnio Benton, Jan Petrovcic and Onochie Ochie all are expected to make significant contributions in 2012-13.

With Fortenberry’s return, Southeastern looks to reverse a trend in which it went 8-14 in and averaged nearly seven points a game less in his absence. The Lions dropped four games in league play by two points or less while posting single-digit losses in non-conference games at Arkansas and Texas Tech.

The strength of the team will be at guard where the Lions will have a solid core in Fortenberry, Nelson and Campbell along with newcomers Jeffery Ricard, Dre Evans and freshman Avery Woodson. Campbell averaged 7.7 points in his first season as a starter while Nelson gave the Lions’ a strong perimeter presence off the bench averaging 6.5 points per game.

“Depth is so important because during a long season, you can lose good players, but if you have the depth, you might not have a drop-off in your decision making, ball handling or defense,” Yarbrough said. “Good depth allows you to continue to play the way you want to play and it’s good because it keeps each player honest and competitive.”

Up front, the Lions will have to replace departed starter Elgin Bailey in the post. But they have solid candidates to replace him in Petrovcic along with newcomers Jamaal James and Roger Woods while wing players Benton, Ochie and Quin Cooper all saw significant playing time and will be counted on to provide better depth.

The 6-foot-6 Johnson looks to build off a solid junior campaign after he averaged 11.5 points – a team-high in Fortenberry’s absence – along with a team-high 8.2 rebounds per contest. Johnson, who finished second in the conference with eight double-doubles in 2011-12, came into his own during the Lions’ final seven games of the season averaging 17.1 points, 10.6 rebounds while shooting 57 percent from the floor.

“Our fans will see a Lions’ squad that guards very well defensively,” Yarbrough said. “Typically, we’ve been one of the top teams in the Southland Conference in field goal defense and we do a pretty good job in rebounding and defending. Our goal is to push ourselves to be the best defensive team in the league and we should have the ability and depth to make that happen.”

JIM YARBROUGHHead CoachEighth Year

Alma MaterFlorida State, 1987

Record at SLU: 108-99 (seven years)Career Record: 205-141 (12 years)

Entering his eighth 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 seven years and advancing to the Southland Conference tournament seven times.

Replacing current Texas A&M coach Billy Kennedy in May of 2005, Yarbrough has done an excellent job of keeping the program very competitive. His 108 wins in Hammond are the third-most in school history and his .522 winning percentage is the best for a program that has been looking for a solid foundation.

Named as Southeastern’s 11th head basketball coach on June 23, 2005, Yarbrough brings tremendous energy and a wealth suc-cess 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 a 12-year span.

When Yarbrough arrived to Valdosta State in 2000, the Division II school had not participated in an NCAA tournament in more than 20 years. In only his second season in south Georgia, the Blazers went 24-8 and advanced to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tourney. For his efforts, Yarbrough was one of eight finalists for national coach of the year and was named South Region Coach of the Year. VSU kept winning and Yarbrough kept fine-tuning his blueprint, leading the Blazers to a No. 3 national ranking in 2003-04 and finishing the year with a 25-4 record. Again, Yarbrough would be named South Region and Gulf South Conference Coach of the Year.

SSTEPHEN F. AUSTIN LUMBERJACKSSTEPHEN F. AUSTIN LUMBERJACKS

It wasn’t the start that the Lumberjacks wanted in 2011-12, but a strong second half of the season still managed to transform the year into another successful one for the Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks, including the program’s fourth 20-win campaign in the last five years. With three returning starters back from that squad, with a strong corps of talented newcomers, the ceiling could be even higher for SFA in 2012-13.

After finishing 20-12, the Lumberjacks have the second-highest winning percentage (62 percent) among Texas schools during during the last 12 years – Kaspar’s tenure – trailing only the University of Texas in that category.

A year after finishing the year as the top-scoring defense in the nation, SFA followed that up with a lower defensive scoring average last season, allowing just 54.4 points per game, 2.3 points per game less than the year before. Newcomer Taylor Smith was a key cog in the SFA defensive effort, blocking more shots than any Lumberjack in the last five years, but also contributed offensively, leading the Southland with a field goal percentage of better than 70 percent and pumping in more than 10 points a game in league play.

Smith teamed with all-conference selection Jereal Scott to form arguably the best 1-2 punch in the post in the Southland. SFA will have to deal with the loss of Scott this season, but do return senior swing man Antoino Bostic who proved to be an iron man on the floor for the Lumberjacks, playing the third-most minutes of any player in the league and leading the Lumberjacks in scoring in conference play on his way to earning first-team all-conference recognition, the first postseason recognition for him of any kind in his basketball career.

SFA will also bring back emerging guard Desmond Haymon who led SFA in 3-point buckets last season

Taylor Smith

and brings a knack for scoring few others on the roster can boast. Senior Hal Bateman will likely assume the opening day duties at point guard, bringing quickness and athleticism to the position. It was his buzzer-beating three-point bucket in the Southland opener at Texas State that proved to be the springboard for SFA’s run to a 12-4 record in league play a year ago.

Forward Jacob Parker is also expected to make positive strides in his second season after a freshman season that saw him hobbled by a nagging foot injury throughout the year, while Joe Bright also returns on a healthier note after gutting through his junior year after knee surgery just weeks before the opening of the season.

The Lumberjacks have also brought in a group of nine newcomers, headlined by forward Ice Asortse, guard Jared Harrison and freshman point guard Trey Pinkney. Asortse will bring much-needed size to the floor while Harrison and Pinkney each bring depth to the point guard corps with Harrison being more of a scoring threat and Pinkney more of a typical point guard compared by Kaspar to former guard Eric Bell.

DANNY KASPARHead Coach13th Year

Alma MaterNorth Texas, 1978

Record at SFA: 219-158 (12 years)Career Record: 438-189 (21 years)

Danny Kaspar has already cemented himself as the most successful head coach in the Division I era of Lumberjack basketball. In 2012-13, his Lumberjacks will try to take the next step toward becoming the consistent power in the Southland Conference. If the Lumberjacks can grab a conference title, it would mark the third time in the last six seasons for SFA to win at least a share of the league crown.

The Lumberjacks are coming off a 20-12 season last year, which was their fourth 20-win season in the last five years. Kaspar’s squad also showed why it is one of the top defenses in the nation, by following up its national lead in scoring defense in 2010-11 in which it surrendered just 56.7 points per game by being even better, allowing just 54.4 points per contest. The Lumberjacks saw Antonio Bostic earn first-team all-conference honors, and Jereal Scott earn second team honors.

Kaspar also moved past 200 career wins at SFA last season and this season will just need 12 wins to reach 450 for his career. With SFA’s win over Texas A&M-Corpus Christi in the Southland tournament, Kaspar earned the 400th win of his coaching career.

Before becoming the head coach at Stephen F. Austin, Kaspar spent nine seasons as the head coach at the University of the Incarnate Word in San Antonio. In his tenure, Incarnate Word posted an overall record of 219-52, which was the best record for any four-year institution in Texas for the decade of the 1990s. His teams at Incarnate Word posted nine consecutive 20-win seasons, including five where his teams won 25 or more games in a single campaign. Kaspar’s Incarnate Word teams also won or shared five regular season conference titles as well as four conference tournament titles.

STEXAS A&M-CORPUS CHRISTI ISLANDERSTEXAS A&M-CORPUS CHRISTI ISLANDERS

Year two of the Willis Wilson era at Texas A&M-Corpus Christi is expected to see the Islanders continue their growth on top of the coach’s newly built foundation. The Islanders return eight players from last year, including Johnathan Jordan and Nate Maxey, who both etched their names in the record book as freshmen. Add to the mix eight newcomers, including junior college standouts Joy Williamson and William Nelson, and the Islanders should be markedly improved from a season ago.

Jordan, a sophomore, leads the way for an Islanders backcourt that adds significant depth from a year ago. Jordan led the Southland in assists per game a year ago in addition to contributing 6.5 points and 3.3 rebounds from the point.

Hameed Ali and Jake Kocher also return much improved after their first year of experience. Ali, who made 13 starts last year, had a penchant for hitting big shots, as his baskets in the closing minutes against Sam Houston State and Utah State led to Islanders wins. Kocher played in 29 games, and played his best basketball at the end of the season, including a 15-point, four-rebound, three-steal performance at Texas-Arlington. Also returning among guards are walk-ons Kennon Dvorak and James King, who played in 14 and 12 games, respectively.

A strong group of four newcomers should provide A&M-Corpus Christi with improved outside shooting and excellent athleticism. Joy Williamson, a junior transfer from Redlands Community College, is the most heralded newcomer, after averaging 18.7 points, 8.2 rebounds and 4.0 assists in being named First Team All-Region. Freshman Brandon Pye will provide a solid option at the point behind Jordan, as the native of Mansfield, Texas, joins the Islanders after earning co-district MVP honors at Timberview High School.

Albany, N.Y., product Jelani Currie may prove to be the greatest natural athlete on the team. A two-time

Hameed Ali

state champion in the triple jump and an all-area wide receiver in high school, Currie averaged 22 points and eight rebounds for Albany Academy in his senior year. Additionally, Cole Martinez, a native of San Antonio, could prove the best outside shooter on the Islanders. He comes in having averaged 17.8 points per game for the Air Force Academy Prep School a season ago.

An added year of maturity for the returning players mixed with a strong infusion of newcomers should see the Islanders much improved up front in 2012-13. After posting the third-highest shot block total in school history as a freshman, Nate Maxey returns for his sophomore season with an improved work ethic and a new determination to improve on his game after an inconsistent first year of college. Junior Ted Wang should also provide some depth up front after putting on 20 pounds in the offseason, as he has shown solid signs of improvement during summer workouts.

Among the newbies, junior college transfers William Nelson and Zane Knowles should be impact players for the Islanders this season. Nelson, a versatile athlete who can play both guard and forward, averaged 14.7 points and 7.6 rebounds for Hutchinson Community College in his sophomore season, and at 6-foot-6, is a combination of size, speed and outside shooting. Knowles is the most physically imposing Islander on the roster, with a 6-9 frame and weighing in at 240 pounds. The native Bahamian averaged 12.6 points and 8.4 rebounds at Pearl River Community College a year ago. Freshmen Dale Francis, a product of Canarias Basketball Academy, and Jerred Kite, an alumnus of San Antonio’s Antonian Prep, should provide solid depth up front for Texas A&M-Corpus Christi in their freshman seasons as well.

WILLIS WILSONHead CoachSecond Year

Alma MaterRice, 1982

Record at TAMUCC: 6-24 (one year)Career Record: 225-270 (17 years)

The first year of the Willis Wilson era saw a team with just 10 scholarship players, including 10 newcomers and just two players with significant Division I experience, take on one of the most challenging non-conference schedules in the nation. And though the end of the season record was 6-24, the Islanders played all 30 games against Division I opponents and had 18 games within striking distance in the closing minutes.

Previously, Wilson served two seasons as an assistant to Josh Pastner at Memphis that 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 team to a 24-10 overall record and a NIT berth.

Wilson became one of the most respected coaches in the country in his time as the head coach at Rice, his alma mater. In 16 years leading the Owls, Wilson posted a career record of 219-246, leading the team to the postseason three times. He is the school’s all-time winningest coach. His 2003-04 squad recorded a 22-11 overall record, and the 22 victories were the second-most for a single season since World War II. Wilson guided the Owls to 60 wins in a three-year span from 2002-05, marking the second-most victories in a three-year stretch in school history.

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. Prior to taking the reins at Rice, Wilson spent the one season as an assistant on Mike Montgomery’s staff at Stanford.
