Dorrian Williams (Jr., Oklahoma City, Okla.) eclipsed 100 season assists in the SIU game Saturday, and is just 11
shy of his career-best season total of 112 set last season.
The Bears are coming off a 45.8-percent shooting clip in their win over SIU. Missouri State is 5-1 this season when it
shoots .458 or better from the field, and the Bears have eclipsed 40-percent shooting in four straight games.
Christian Kirk (Sr., Springfield, Mo.) needs 1 rebound for 200 in career Valley games and 7 rebounds to reach 400
for his career (118 games). He also needs one more dunk for 30 in his career.
Austin Ruder (So., Nixa, Mo.) needs 6 rebounds to match his 2013-14 total (54) and is 1 shy of his 50th career start.
Gavin Thurman (Jr., Wichita, Kan.) is coming off team-highs 11-points and 6 rebounds against Southern Illinois. It
was the fourth time he has led the club in rebounding in his career and first since Jan. 18, 2014 at UNI (4 rebounds).
In snapping their seven-game losing streak, the Bears held SIU to just .333 shooting for the game, the sixth opponent
MSU has held under 35-percent this season. MSU is now 9-0 this season when shooting a better FG% than its foe.
Camyn Boone (Jr., Seattle, Wash.) is shotting .617 (29-for-47) in league games, tops among Valley starters.
Since reaching a peak national ranking of 5th in free throw percentage, the Bears have shot under 60 percent at the
line three times in a four-game span. MSU has recorded fewer free throws than its opponents the last 7 games.
Missouri State has not had a block/charge call go its way in conference play. The last time the Bears drew a charge
was Dec. 20 against Eastern Michigan. Its MVC opponents have collected 10 charges in that same 10-game span.
Loyola ranks 10th nationally in fewest personal fouls per game (15.0) and allows just 60.0 points per game which
ranks 37th. LUC is also 22nd nationally in 3-point FG percentage (.397).

A January to Forget
The Bears were 2-7 in January, sandwiching seven straight losses between a Jan. 3 home win over
Drake and a Jan. 31 home win over Southern Illinois. In between, MSU lost three straight home games
for just the second time ever at JQH Arena and also dropped four road games. During the seven-game
skid, MSU had a -11.4 scoring margin, a -5.1 rebounding margin and shot just 39 percent from the field.
Injuries, Departures Reduce Roster
Missouri State’s 2014-15 season hit a low point on Jan. 28 when the Bears took the floor at Illinois
State with just eight players in uniform. Injuries and team departures dwindled a team once proud with a
depth to a short bench, and the Bears ultimately dropped their seventh straight game. Below is a summary of how the 13-man squad was diminished during that January swoon.
Nov. 27 - Ron Mvouika misses Colorado State game with back spasms and has yet to to action. Dec.
13 - Robin Thompson leaves SEMO game with what appears to be a sparined ankle. More serious fracture is revealed, ending his season. Dec. 18 - Walk-on Cameron Maes (Fr., G, Springfield, Mo.) departs
team for personal reasons. Jan. 16 - Marcus Marshall (Jr., G, St. Paul, Minn.) leaves program after brief
team suspension for conduct detrimental to the team. Jan. 24 - Tyler McCullough sprains ankle in game
at Bradley, misses ISU game.

Limiting Turnovers
Over the past five seasons (2010-11 through 2014-15), only five Division I programs committed fewer
turnovers than Missouri State (10.59). In Missouri State’s 153 games in that span, the Bears have had
just 1,620 mishaps, which ranks ahead of all major college programs except Wisconsin (8.40), Michigan
(9.90), Cal Poly (9.97), Notre Dame (10.38), and Northwestern (10.57).
This season, MSU is averaging 11.5 turnovers per game, but the Bears have committed the same or
fewer turnovers than their opponents in 13 of 22 games to rank 53rd nationally.
Bears on the Air
All Missouri State games will air live on the Missouri State Radio Network with Springfield flagship
station KTXR (101.3 FM) providing the feed to the seven-station network across Missouri as well as live
audio streaming at www.RadioSpringfield.com.
The voice of the Bears, Art Hains, first began calling MSU’s action in 1977 and is in his second stint
and 34th season overall behind the MSU microphone. He called Missouri State games from 1977-1981
and later returned to the mic in 1985. Hains, who celebrated his 1,000th MSU basketball broadcast (and
2,000th MSU sporting event) on Jan. 2, 2014, is assisted by color commentator and former Bears’ great
Mike Keltner (1970-74).
Studio hosts for this year’s network broadcasts include Corey Riggs, Chris Cannon and Shane Friebe.
Ruder Joins Elite Downtown Company
Missouri State sophomore Austin Ruder (G, Nixa, Mo.) became the 12th Bear to eclipse 100 career
3-pointers when he knocked down his 100th trey against Eastern Michigan on Dec. 20.
Ruder now has 113 career 3-pointers, which ranks No. 8 all-time in MSU history. Only Adam Leonard
(189) has made more 3-pointers among two-year Missouri State players.
Wire-to-Wire Wins Kick Start Bears to 2-0 MVC Start
The Bears were the only team in the Missouri Valley Conference to lead wire-to-wire in their first two
conference games this season. Indiana State, which trailed for 49:20 of its first two games, and Wichita
State, which trailed for just 3:52, were the only other teams to begin their season 2-0 in Valley play.
Thompson Shut Down for the Year
Freshman forward Robin Thompson (St. Louis, Mo.) will miss the remainder of the season after an
on-court right ankle injury suffered at Southeast Missouri State on Dec. 13. Thompson, who played just
one minute at SEMO before the injury, underwent an MRI which revealed an osteochondral lesion of the
talus bone (foot), which will necessitate him missing the remainder of the 2014-15 campaign.
He played 61 minutes in eight appearances in the non-conference portion of the schedule for the
Bears, scoring 13 total points, including 11 against Avila on Nov. 19.
Hot From the Line
The Bears eclipsed 80 percent from the free throw line in six straight games from Dec. 4 to Dec. 22,
firing at an .866 percentage on 84-of-97 attempts from the stripe in that span. The Bears spent most of
the month of January ranked in the top 10 nationally and tops in the MVC in free throw accuracy with a
peak ranking of No. 5 among all Division I programs.
Thurman Returns With a Vengeance
After missing three games with a knee injury (Nov. 28 to Dec. 4), Gavin Thurman (Jr., Wichita, Kan.)
tallied 11.8 points per game in the four games immediately after his return with three in double figures.
Ruder Snags MVC Scholar-Athlete of the Week on Dec. 17
Missouri State sophomore guard Austin Ruder (Nixa, Mo.) was selected as the Missouri Valley
Conference Scholar-Athlete of the Week by Commissioner Doug Elgin on Dec. 17 for his performances
during the period of December 8-14.
In the Bears’ only game for the week, Ruder helped lead the Bears to their second road victory in three
tries by drilling 5-of-6 3-point shots against Southeast Missouri State, including a key four-point play in
the second half. Ruder also matched a career high with 6 rebounds, dished out 4 assists and snagged
3 steals at the Show-Me Center. Over his previous two games, Ruder was 12-for-16 (.750) from 3-point
range. His efforts helped the Bears secure their third win in four outings and second in a row.
He holds a 3.57 grade-point average and majors in accounting.
Thurman Return Sparks Comeback Win Against In-State Rival
Missouri State’s 73-61 road win at Southeast Missouri State on Dec. 13 added another exciting chapter in the long history between the Bears and Redhawks that dates back to 1911.
Marcus Marshall scored a game-high 21 points, and Gavin Thurman (Jr., F, Wichita, Kan.) notched
19 off the bench to help lead Missouri State, which also got 16 points from Austin Ruder who made 5-of6 from beyond the arc. Junior Camyn Boone (Jr., F, Seattle, Wash.) also snagged 9 rebounds to help the
Bears out-rebound the Redhawks 36-34 in a game the visitors trailed by four at the midway point.
Thurman had missed four straight games with a knee injury before coming just two points shy of a career high against Southeast. SEMO (144g) represents the longest-standing rivalry against Missouri State.

tournament games for the Bears, Nov. 27-29. Williams scored in double figures all three nights, posting
game-high 19 points in the team’s win over Alaska-Anchorage, team-high 16 points against Colorado
State and 13 points against Washington State. He matched a Paul Lusk-era record with 5 steals against
Alaska, and had game-highs in rebounds two nights with 7 against CSU and 6 against WSU along with
a tournament-high 8 assists against WSU. Williams also knocked down a 3-pointer in every game of the
tournament and played 115 minutes (38.3 per game).
On the Boards Against the Eagles

Early Signing Class Complete
On Nov. 14, Missouri State head coach Paul Lusk has added a quartet of high school senior standouts
to his fifth recruiting class in the early National Letter of Intent signing period.
Three future Bears – Jarred Dixon, Obediah Church and Zach Cameron – signed National Letters of
Intent, while one additional player, Ryan Kreklow will join the program upon his arrival on campus next fall.
 Jarred Dixon (6-3, 170, G, Greenwood, Mo., Lee’s Summit West High)
Last season, Dixon averaged 14.6 points and 5.2 rebounds for a Lee’s Summit West squad that finished third
in the Missouri Class 5 state tournament. He helped coach Michael Schieber’s squad to a 27-4 campaign last
season and also played with fellow MSU commit Ryan Kreklow on the Kansas City Run GMC AAU squad.
 Obediah Church (6-8, 200, F, Springfield, Ill., Springfield High)
Church averaged 13.4 points, 8.6 rebounds and 2.7 blocks per game his junior year at Springfield (Ill.)
High School while earning IBCA honorable mention all-state honors. He also shot 55 percent from the field
and snagged All-Central State Eight Conference first-team distinction. He played on the AAU circuit with
the Illinois Irish.
 Zach Cameron (6-9, 205, C, Springfield, Mo., Parkview High)
During his junior season, Cameron averaged 11.1 points, 7.2 rebounds and 3.0 blocks per game for coach
Bill Brown’s Vikings at Springfield’s Parkview High School, which was 14-12 last season. He also plays for
the Yanders Law AAU squad.
 Ryan Kreklow (6-3, 185, G, Columbia, Mo., Rock Bridge High)
Kreklow posted 18.9 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 2.4 steals per game as a junior in 2013-14 at
Columbia’s Rock Bridge High School. He was named to the Columbia Tribune all-area team and was a
first-team all-district pick for the Bruins. He also helped lead Coach Jim Scanlon’s squad to a 21-4 campaign
last season and played with fellow MSU commit Jarred Dixon on the Kansas City Run GMC AAU squad.
McCullough Mans Up in Uganda
In June, Missouri State sophomore center Tyler McCullough (Fayetteville, Ark.) returned from Africa
where he and a group of American ambassadors spent time with orphaned children in Uganda.
In just a few years of existence, the “Man Up and Go” movement has served nearly 2,000 orphans,
providing supplies, sports equipment and love to young, often cast-away orphans. The ambassadors built
homes, painted, sponsored and even adopted children on their trips while serving the needs of the local
communities in Ethiopia and Uganda. There are approximately 53 million orphans in Africa.
McCullough was joined by fellow MSU student-athletes Karly Buer and Kinsey McCarter on the trip,
along with MSU Rehabilitation Specialist Mitch Hauschildt.

All four of MSU’s 2013-14 senior players completed their undergraduate degrees before the close of
the spring 2014 semester, continuing a proud tradition of Bears who finish their playing career on the
Springfield campus earning their bachelor’s degrees.
This year’s two seniors -- Christian Kirk (Computer Science) and Ron Mvouika (Communication Studies) are slated to graduate in May and December of 2015, respectively.
Since 2000, 45-of-49 players (.918) who have completed their playing careers at MSU have graduated.

With the retired jersey ceremony for Charlie Spoonhour on Nov. 14, the legendary former coach
became the fifth Bear to have a jersey hanging from the JQH Arena rafters. Spoonhour was 197-81 in
nine seasons with the Bears from 1983-92. He helped the Bears to 5 NCAA Tournament appearances,
two NIT bids and four Mid-Continent Conference championships. Previous retired jersey honorees are:
#22 Winston Garland (1985-87): Garland led MSU to its first two Division I postseason appearances,
including a record 28-win NCAA Tournament team in 1987. He tallied 1,248 points in two seasons and
was Mid-Continent Player of the Year as a senior.
#32 Daryel Garrison (1971-75): MSU’s all-time leading scorer with 1,975 points, Garrison helped MSU
to a pair of conference titles and NCAA DII Tournament appearances. Garrison, who had 46 games in
which he scored 20 points or more, helped MSU finish as 1974 national runners-up.
#43 Jerry Anderson (1951-55): A two-time MVP of the NAIA national tournament, Anderson played on
the 1952 and 1953 Bears national championship teams. He became the first MSU player to eclipse 1,000
points for his career and was named to the NAIA 50th and 75th anniversary all-time tournament teams.
#54 Curtis Perry (1966-70): Missouri State’s career rebounding leader (1,424), he was part of NCAA Division II national runner-up teams in 1967 and 1969 as well as four MIAA conference championships squads.
Perry was a two-time All-American and racked up 1,835 career points before an NBA career.
Closing the Books on the BracketBusters
Missouri State closed out the storied chapter of its ESPN BracketBusters days when it
dropped a 77-65 home decision to Eastern Michigan in the Bears’ final return game Dec. 20.
The Bears were 5-5 in 10 ESPN BracketBusters appearances between 2004 and 2013,
including wins in four of their last six games in the series. MSU closed out its BracketBusters
history with a come-from-behind, 57-54, win at Eastern Michigan in 2013.
In return games, the Bears were 8-2, losing to Valparaiso (2012) and Eastern Michigan (2014), both at home.
Among Last Season’s Most Improved
The 2013-14 Bears finished with a 20-13 overall record and advanced to the postseason for the third
time in five seasons, but first time under Coach Paul Lusk. The +9.0 turnaround margin from an 11-22
mark in 2012-13 marked the eighth-best single-season improvement in the Division I ranks last year.
In the 102-year history of the MSU program, the Bears have had bigger improvements just twice -2009-10 (from 11-20 to 24-12, +10.5) and 1981-82 (from 9-21 to 17-10, +9.5).
Famous Family for Thompson
MSU freshman Robin Thompson (St. Louis, Mo.) is the great nephew of Louisville All-American and
Missouri Valley Conference great Wes Unseld. Unseld enjoyed a 13-year NBA Hall of Fame career with
the Washington Bullets. Thompson’s cousin, Wes Unseld, Jr., is on the coaching staff of the Orlando
Magic, and his uncle George Unseld was a standout out Kansas who was later drafted by the LA Lakers.

The announce team for this year’s Missouri State Television Network will consist of play-by-play
announcers Tom Ackerman and Don West, who will split games throughout the season. Former MSU
basketball great Kelby Stuckey (1985-89) will provide analysis for all games. MSU is 3-3 on the Missouri
State Television Network this season.
Bears in MVC Preseason Poll
For just the third time since 2000, the Bears have been picked to finish in the top three in the Missouri
Valley Conference. Paul Lusk’s Bears were picked third in the 10-team league race, behind preseason
favorite Wichita State, which ran The Valley table last season (18-0) and UNI which returns 5 starters.
Life Without Marcus
With the departure of Preseason All-MVC guard Marcus Marshall from the team on Jan. 16, MSU has
been reduced to nine active players on its roster.
He was averaging 19.5 points per game when he left the program -- 2nd in the MVC and 23rd nationally at the time. Immediately follwing his departure from the team, the Bears lost five straight games,
extending their overall losing streak to a season-high seven in a row. MSU was 12-13 in games Marshall
missed due to injuries and suspensions in his three-year career and 27-31 with him.
Marshall Departs Team
Bears’ junior Marcus Marshall (G, St. Paul, Minn.) departed the team on Jan. 16 after a brief suspension two days earlier due to what coach Paul Lusk called “conduct detrimental to the team.”
Prior to making his decision to transfer, the 2013 MVC Freshman of the Year ranked 17th nationally in
FT percentage (.899), 17th in 3-point FG percentage (.456), 24th in scoring (19.5) and 33rd in 3-pointers
per game (2.93) -- all tops on the team. He scored 813 points in 58 career games with 106 3-pointers
and 114 assists. He was named ESPN’s Dick Vitale Player of the Week on Nov. 17 this season after his
38-point outburst in MSU’s 2014-15 season opener against Eastern Illinois.
Marshall Breaks Reynolds Center Record in Loss at Tulsa
Junior Marcus Marshall (St. Paul, Minn.) scored a game-high 36 points to set an opponent scoring
record at the Reynolds Center in Tulsa on Dec. 17.
At the time it made Marshall one of just two Division I players to score 35 or more points twice during
the 2014-15 season. He was 11-for-17 from the field overall and 7-of-9 from 3-point range. He also
finished 7-for-7 at the line while playing 38 minutes in the Bears’ narrow 74-70 loss.
His 7 3-pointers in the game also tied a Reynolds Center record and was just one shy of tying a Missouri State school record.
Marshall Snags Valley Player of the Week Honors
After his 38-point outburst in the 2014-15 season opener, Marcus Marshall earned MVC Player of the
Week honors on Nov. 17. Marshall is just the third Bear in the last four seasons to earn the distinction,
joining Jarmar Gulley (Jan. 13, 2014) and Kyle Weems (Jan. 2, 2012) in that span.
Marshall was also named by ESPN analyst Dick Vitale as the Division I player of the week on Nov. 17
for his efforts against EIU and accounting for 38 of MSU’s 64 points and making 6-of-7 from three.
Marcus Returns in Style with 38 in Opener
Marcus Marshall (Jr., G, St. Paul, Minn.) notched a career-high 38 points in the Bears’ season opener
against Eastern Illinois on Nov. 14 as he dropped in 12-of-16 from the field, 6-of-7 beyond the arc and
8-of-8 at the free throw line. Marshall’s scoring effort matched the seventh-best single-game scoring mark
in MSU history and marked the most points by a Missouri State player since 1979.
The 2013 MVC Freshman of the Year missed 21 games last season with a knee injury, and made the
most of his return with the most points ever by a Bear in the month of November.

JQH Arena
With a $30-million gift from Missouri State alumnus and Springfield-based hotel developer John Q.
Hammons, the long-time dream of a new home for the Missouri State Bears and Lady Bears and an iconic tribute to MSU intercollegiate athletics became a reality in 2008. JQH Arena features a seating capacity
of 11,000, including 50 courtside seats, 24 suites, PRIME Overtime Club, Hall of Fame and Legacy of
Competition exhibits, 114 loge seats, 1,363 reserved student bleacher seats and 9,637 chairback seats.
The Bears defeated Arkansas, 62-57, before a sellout crowd of 10,881 on November 22, 2008 in the
inaugural game at JQH Arena. MSU later reeled off 22 straight non-conference home wins from Dec. 22,
2008 to Dec. 7, 2011. The Bears also won 19 straight home games overall from Feb. 6, 2010 to Jan. 30,
2011 and are now 80-32 (.712) all-time at The Q.
MSU tied for the national lead in home wins in 2009-10 with a 19-2 mark, and was 16-1 at home in 2010-11.
Bears Basketball History
The Bears have an all-time record of 1606-920 (.636) in their 103rd season and are 622-403 (.606) in
their 33rd season since making the move to Division I in 1982-83.
During the Division I era, MSU has made NCAA Tournament appearances in 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990,
1992, and 1999. With Tournament wins over Wisconsin and Tennessee, the 1999 Bears advanced to the
NCAA Sweet 16. The Bears have appeared in the National Invitation Tournament nine times -- 1986,
1991, 1993, 1997, 2000, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2011. The 1986, 1993 and 2006 squads all reached the
NIT quarterfinals. In 2010, MSU earned the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament championship
and in 2014 made their second CIT appearance in five years.
The Bears won NAIA national championship titles in 1952 and 1953, while making six NAIA national
tournament appearances from 1939-1954. MSU also appeared in the NCAA Division II Tournament 10
times, finishing as national runners-up on four occassions -- 1959, 1967, 1969 and 1974.
MSU has won 24 regular-season conference titles, including the 2010-11 MVC championship. The
Bears have also recorded 28 seasons of 20 or more victories, including 15 times during the Division I era.
The Bears hold the distinction of having four of the 25 best RPI ratings ever to be left out on NCAA
Tournament as at-large selections. The 2005-06 squad had the 21st-best RPI on Selection Sunday, while
the 2006-07 team was No. 36 the following year, both of which resulted in Tournament snubs. Likewise,
the 1999-2000 squad was ranked No. 34 a year after its Sweet 16 run and was left out of the big dance.
In 102 years, Missouri State has had just 17 losing campaigns and just three 20-loss seasons.
Missouri State University
Missouri State University is a public, comprehensive university system with a mission in public affairs, whose purpose is to develop educated persons while achieving five goals: democratizing society,
incubating new ideas, imagining Missouri’s future, making Missouri’s future, and modeling ethical and
effective behavior.
With a record enrollment of 24,489 (fall 2014), MSU is the second-largest institution for higher learning
in Missouri, and its identity is distinguished by its statewide mission in public affairs. This mission requires
a campus-wide commitment to foster competence and responsibility in the common vocation of citizenship. Missouri State University is a selective admissions, graduate-level, teaching and research institution. MSU competes at the NCAA Division I level and is a member of the Missouri Valley Conference.
Notable Missouri State alums include: Ryan Howard (2009 NLCS MVP, first baseman, Philadelphia
Phillies), John Goodman (actor), Kathleen Turner (actress), David Glass (owner, Kansas City Royals),
John Q. Hammons (businessman, hotel developer), Bob Holden (43rd governor of Missouri), Bill Mueller
(2003 American League batting champ), and Jackie Stiles (Division I career scoring leader).
Missouri Valley Conference
The nation’s second-oldest NCAA Division I conference continues to be a leader in college athletics
and is one of the nation’s most progressive conferences. League members have worked together to focus on common goals and objectives, putting a high value on league harmony while continuing to invest
in athletic programs to compete at the highest level.
Men’s basketball continues to be the engine that drives Valley athletic programs. In 2014, Wichita
state followed its 2013 Final Four run with an unbeaten regular season and 35 straight wins. An MVC
program has reached the Final Four 17 times, and the league has had four different Sweet 16 teams
since 2006 making it the only non-BCS league with more than two different Sweet 16 teams in that span.
In 2013-14, the winds of change that have dramatically affected Division I conference realignment in
recent years also touched The Valley. For the first time since 1996, the MVC experienced the addition
and departure of a member institution. The Valley formally welcomed Loyola University Chicago into the
membership on July 1, 2013. Loyola became the 33rd institution to enter the Missouri Valley Conference and the first-ever member university from the Chicago metropolitan area. In March 2013, Creighton
University, an MVC member for nearly 60 years, announced its departure for the newly configured Big
East Conference.

2014-15 MISSOURI STATE GAME-BY-GAME SUMMARY
Game 1
Game 2
Nov. 14, 2014, JQH Arena, Springfield, Mo.
Missouri State 64, Eastern Illinois 53
Nov. 19, 2014, JQH Arena, Springfield, Mo.
Missouri State 87, Avila 39
Marcus Marshall scored 38 points – the most by a Missouri State player since
1979 – to help the Bears to a 64-53 win over visiting Eastern Illinois here Friday
in the season opener for both clubs.
The Bears closed out the game on a 24-4 run over the final 11-and-a-half
minutes, led by Marshall who scored 15 points in that span. The junior finished
12-for-16 from the field with six 3-pointers and 8-for-8 at the line.
Chris Olivier led all Eastern Illinois players with 16 points, despite being held
to just 2 points in the second half.
After trailing 18-7 with 7 minutes, 41 seconds left in the opening half, the Bears
drew within 29-27 at the intermission and closed the gap to 34-33 on a 16-foot
jumper by Christian Kirk less than three minutes into the final period.
Jay Spoonhour’s Panthers then rallied with a 10-2 run over the next three
minutes behind a pair of 3-pointers to push ahead 44-35, and held that margin
through the under-12 media timeout.
But the game belonged to MSU from there as Kirk and Austin Ruder knocked
home free throws, and Marshall dropped in a 3-pointer to pull within 49-46.
Ruder later kept the rally going with a bank shot jumper that made it a one-point
game and forced an EIU timeout. With 6:43 to play, Kirk drove to the bucket and
scored off the glass to cap the 8-0 run and give the Bears their first lead, 50-49.
The Panthers took the lead again briefly on a pair of free throws by Reggie
Smith, but MSU held the visitors without a field goal for the next five minutes
while Marshall went to work. The junior guard registered 12 points in the final
six minutes, including all 7 free throws in that span, to put the game on ice. The
Bears’ defense locked down the Panthers’ attack as well, holding EIU to just
1-for-4 from the field in the game’s last five minutes.
Marshall’s scoring exploits were just one shy of Doug McDermott’s JQH
Arena record of 39, but the most points by a Missouri State player in any game
since Mike Robinson dropped 39 points on Missouri S&T on Feb. 26, 1979.
In the first half, The Bears caught fire in the final three minutes of the opening
stanza to nearly erase an 11-point deficit by the break. Marshall fired home 12
of his 18 first-half points in the final 3:13 of the opening period to close MSU’s
early gap to 29-27 at the midway point.
Behind Marshall and Loomis Gerring, the Bears hit six straight shots to end
the half and overcome a 3-for-17 start from the field.
Six Missouri State players scored in double figures, including a game-high 13
by Marcus Marshall, to lead the Bears to an 87-39 win over visiting Avila.
Marshall played just 16 minutes, but made 4 of 6 field goals and a pair of
3-pointers while dishing out 2 assists and grabbing 2 steals. Austin Ruder added 12 points for Paul Lusk’s squad, while Robin Thompson and Ron Mvouika
each scored 11, and newcomers Loomis Gerring and Camyn Boone scored 10
apiece. Boone also grabbed a game-high 9 rebounds.
Avila got 12 points off the bench from Bradley Reed and 11 from Sedrick
Johnson. Johnson also snagged 6 rebounds for the Kansas City-based Eagles
who committed 19 turnovers on the night.
The Bears never trailed in the contest and used runs of 18-2 and 15-0 in the
first half to lead 47-14 at the break. Missouri State opened the second half on a
19-3 run to climb ahead by 49 points on a dunk by Chris Kendrix with 12:43 to
go and later led by as many as 52.
It was the largest margin of victory for Missouri State ever in JQH Arena and
its largest overall since a 106-54 win over Evansville on Jan. 9, 2007 in Hammons Student Center. Likewise, the club’s +32 rebound margin (51-19) was its
best on record
Missouri State collected 46 points in the paint and produced 27 points off
turnovers. MSU’s reserves, who played most of the second half, accounted for
40 points with four of the team’s five starters scoring in double figures.
In the first half, the Bears scored 19 points off 14 Avila turnovers and made
10 of their first 14 shots. A 15-0 run late in the period that included 8 points
by Boone, built a 30-point advantage for the home side with three-and-a-half
minutes left in the opening stanza.
Freshman Robin Thompson scored 10 of his 11 points in the second half,
paced by a pair of dunks and 7-of-9 makes from the foul line to complement
his 5 rebounds. The team’s four freshmen combined for 19 points overall, with
Boone and Gerring pushing the MSU newcomer total to 39 points on the night.

2014-15 MISSOURI STATE GAME-BY-GAME SUMMARY
Game 3
Game 4
Nov. 22, 2014, United Supermarkets Arena, Lubbock, Texas
Texas Tech 80, Missouri State 68
Nov. 27, 2014, Alaska Airlines Center, Anchorage, Alaska
Colorado State 76, Missouri State 61
Marcus Marshall scored a game-high 27 points, and Austin Ruder added 19,
but Missouri State was out-rebounded by a 28-9 margin in the second half to
contribute to an 80-68 road loss to Texas Tech.
Devaughtah Williams scored 18 for the Red Raiders, with Norense Odiase
adding 14, and Robert Turner contributing 12 for the home club, which made
28-of-40 (.700) free throws on 27 MSU fouls.
The Bears found their range early in the game and knocked down 11-of-21
(.524) 3-pointers for the game after converting 8-of-12 in the first period to play
within 42-38 at the break.
Marshall and Ruder both finished the night 5 of 8 beyond the arc.
It took MSU just over two minutes into the second half to tie the game, 44-44,
as Ruder knocked down a long ball in transition. But the Red Raiders answered
with a 7-0 run including a traditional 3-point play by Turner to close out the run.
Missouri State responded and drew within 53-49 on a bucket by Kirk with
13:29 to play after Marshall tacked on a jumper and a free throw. But TTU
answered with an 11-4 swing with 6 points in that stretch from the line to extend
its advantage to double figures for the first time at the 9:40 mark, 64-53.
With around 5 minutes to go, Ruder knocked down his final 3-pointer of the
game and scored on a steal and layup in transition 30 seconds later to get the
Missouri State deficit down to 70-61. But 10 unanswered points by Texas Tech
over the next two-and-a-half minutes put the game out of reach.
MSU closed out the game on a 7-0 run to make the final margin respectable.
In the first half, Marshall made 5 shots from beyond the arc to lead all players
with 17 points before the break. All of Marshall’s first-half points came in the first
8 minutes, 13 seconds of the game. The Bears took a 13-12 rebounding edge
into the intermission, despite trailing by four with the Red Raiders knocking
down 12 of the 16 charity shots they took.
For the game, MSU fired at a 43.1 percent clip (22-for-51) and converted 13of-19 (.684) at the line with 13 turnovers and 6 steals.
Christian Kirk led all Bears with 6 rebounds, including 3 on the offensive end,
while Dorrian Williams pitched in 5 assists.
Dorrian Williams scored 16 points and snagged a careerhigh 7 rebounds, but the Bears could not overcome the
efforts of Colorado State’s J.J. Avila who posted 21 points
and 11 rebounds in a 76-61 Rams win in the first round of
the GCI Great Alaska Shootout.
Avila led all players with 21 points and 11 rebounds with 4 assists and a 7-for14 shooting day. John Gillon added 20 points for the Rams, who made 28-of-33
(.848) free throws.
The Bears, who were playing without the services of the nation’s leading
scorer at the time, Marcus Marshall (26.0 ppg), scored more field goals than the
larger CSU team. MSU made 21-of-56 (.375) shots on the night, but struggled
to get to the foul line where its Mountain West opponent made 9 more free
throws than Missouri State attempted.
Down by 10 at the intermission, Paul Lusk’s Bears stormed out of the gates to
start the second period as Austin Ruder tossed a cross-court alley-oop to Chris
Kendrix before Williams made it a five-point game just over a minute into the
second stanza with his first 3-pointer of the night.
Colorado State answered with a 3-pointer by Daniel Bejarano on the Rams’
next possession after the MSU defense guarded the shot clock down to 2
seconds. Dantiel Daniels added a layup a minute later to push CSU back ahead
by double figures, 39-29.
The Bears cut it to six with a Williams jumper and a pair of free throws from
Kendrix before the first media timeout of the second period. Avila scored a pair
of free throws out of the timeout before Shawn Roundtree knocked down a free
throw, and Austin Ruder dropped in a 14-footer to draw Missouri State back
within 36-31 at the 14:16 mark.
Later, an Avila offensive rebound and put-back extended the Colorado State
lead to 40-31 around the 13-minute mark, but Tyler McCullough’s pair of free
throws and a transition layup by Williams once again got MSU within 5.
The turning point came on the 12-minute mark when Avila led a 9-2 Rams run
over a 3-minute span capped by a 3-pointer by Joe DeCiman to make it 50-37.
From there, CSU made 13-of-14 free throws and led by as many as 20 in the
deciding minutes before 3-pointers by Roundtree and Kendrix preceded a lastsecond Kendrix dunk to make it a 15-point defeat for the Bears.

2014-15 MISSOURI STATE GAME-BY-GAME SUMMARY
Game 5
Game 6
Nov. 28, 2014, Alaska Airlines Center, Anchorage, Alaska
Missouri State 55, Alaska-Anchorage 51
Nov. 29, 2014, Alaska Airlines Center, Anchorage, Alaska
Washington State 89, Missouri State 84 (ot)
Missouri State collected 30 points from its newcomers,
including 14 points and 9 rebounds from Camyn Boone, to
secure a 55-51 comeback win over host Alaska-Anchorage.
The Bears also got 19 points from fourth-year junior Dorrian Williams, including 4 in the final two minutes, to help
complete the comeback. Williams also tacked on 5 steals and made 7-of-13
shots in his second standout performance in as many games at The Shootout.
The Seawolves used a 10-1 run at the beginning of the second half to build a
six-point advantage that it didn’t relinquish until Williams drove to the basket and
scored off the glass with 8 minutes to go. The lead changed hands three more
times before a two-handed Boone dunk with 2:40 remaining turned the tides.
Missouri State used the Boone jam to energize a 6-0 run in the clutch and
build a 53-49 advantage for the visitors. The Bears’ defense rallied with four
straight stops in crunch time until an offensive carom found its way to Christian
Leckband who scored for the Seawolves and was fouled by Shawn Roundtree.
Leckband missed the ensuing free throw with just 2.2 ticks showing, and Williams snagged his fourth rebound of the game to seal the win. After being fouled
quickly by UAA, Williams sank both charity shots to give MSU a four-point win.
Travis Thompson led three Seawolves in double figures with 14 points, while
Brian McGill added 12, and Kalidou Diouf added 11 points and 8 rebounds. UAA
finished with eight 3-pointers, including four by Thompson, to stay in the game
and keep the Bears at arm’s length for a majority of the second period.
In the first half, Missouri State kept UAA off the scoreboard for nearly seven
minutes before a 3-pointer by McGill opened up the scoring for the home side
and broke a 12-0 run by the Bears to start the game.
Boone had his way down low in the early going, scoring the game’s first
bucket on a close-range layup before a tip-in and a dunk in the first nine minutes to ignite the Bears’ attack. Moments later, a transition 3-pointer by Williams
gave MSU its biggest lead, 21-7, at the midway point of the first period.
Missouri State, however, managed just 2 field goals the remainder of the half
and missed all four free throws it took in that span to open the doors for a Seawolves counter-attack. UAA closed out the half on a 13-2 run over the final 6:11
of the period to make it a 25-22 game at the break and kept that momentum
going into the second stanza as part of a 23-3 swing over nine minutes.
The Bears also got 8 points from freshman Chris Kendrix, while fellow newcomer Loomis Gerring snagged 7 boards and scored 4 off the bench.
In the final seconds of regulation, Dorrian Williams drove
to the basket for the potential game-winning shot, but his layup off the glass spun around the rim and came out to force
overtime. Washington State capitalized on its good fortune
and sent Missouri State home with an 89-84 defeat in extra
time and sixth-place finish in the Great Alaska Shootout.
Williams finished with 13 points and game highs 6 rebounds and 8 assists for
the Bears who led by 12 at the intermission and by 14 early in the second half.
Camyn Boone added 19 points for MSU before fouling out, while Loomis Gerring and Marcus Marshall each scored 18, and Austin Ruder added 14.
DaVonte Lacey led all scorers with 31 points, including 8 in overtime, to lead
four Washington State players in double figures in the scoring column. The
Cougars went 18-for-27 (.667) from the field after the intermission and shot a
solid 83 percent at the foul line to keep themselves in the game.
The Bears were in command for most of the game and got a dunk from
Boone and pair of free throws from Williams to lead 49-35 with 18:38 to play.
Washington State whittled its deficit to six with an 8-0 run over the next three
minutes, but a 3-pointer by Ruder got the lead back to 52-43.
With 10 minutes to go, Williams dropped in a clutch trey of his own, in addition to a transition bucket, while Boone’s layup around the 9-minute mark
countered a pair of Cougar 3-pointers that had brought WSU within 61-57.
Boone’s layup with 4:43 left in regulation pushed the Bears up 71-64, but
Missouri State would collect just one more field goal the rest of the way – a
3-pointer by Marshall in the final two minutes – while WSU climbed back.
It looked like Marshall’s 3-pointer, which gave Missouri State a 74-71 lead,
was going to hold up when Lacey missed a long shot for the Cougars with 75
seconds left, and Williams gathered the rebound. The Bears wound the clock
down to 43 seconds before Gerring narrowly missed a 3-pointer. Washington
State took advantage with a downtown basket by Que Johnson to tie the game
with 30 seconds to play before MSU set up Williams for the last-second attempt.
In overtime, Marshall brought the Bears back from three down with a
3-pointer with to give MSU a 78-77 edge with 3:25 to go, and free throws by
Gerring and Williams in the final 90 seconds kept within one. But when the
Bears trapped Lacey in the corner on the in-bound pass, Williams was whistled
for a foul, which Lacey converted. Lacey made 6 straight free throws in the final
25 seconds of OT, while MSU missed its only shot in that span.

2014-15 MISSOURI STATE GAME-BY-GAME SUMMARY
Game 7
Game 8
Dec. 4, 2014, JQH Arena, Springfield, Mo.
Missouri State 73, UALR 68
Dec. 13, 2014, JQH Arena, Springfield, Mo.
Missouri State 73, Southeast Missouri St. 61
Austin Ruder scored a career-high 23 points and tied a JQH Arena record
with seven 3-pointers to lead Missouri State to a 73-68 come-from-behind win
over visiting Arkansas-Little Rock and improve to 7-0 all-time against UALR.
Ruder finished 7-for-10 from beyond the arc and made 8 of 11 shots overall to
pace the win. Marcus Marshall added 18 points – 6 in the final minute – to help
the Bears’ cause, while fellow guard Dorrian Williams contributed 10 points, a
career-high 9 rebounds and 5 assists.
Missouri State went into the half trailing by five, but immediately trimmed its
deficit to 32-30 on the first play of the second half when Camyn Boone scored a
traditional 3-point play just 12 seconds into the final period.
But Steve Shields’ Trojans responded with a vengeance, reeling off 9 unanswered points to take a 41-30 lead less than 90 seconds later.
Ruder ended the Bears’ dry spell with his third trey of the game with just
under 18 minutes remaining, and later got it to 47-43 at 14:39 with his fifth.
With 8:28 to go, Gus Leeper scored on a short jumper for UALR to push
the visitors ahead 60-52, but that’s when Missouri State mounted its rally. The
Bears put together four consecutive defensive stops and then sparked a 15-1
run over the next six-plus minutes to pull ahead 67-61. The stretch was highlighted by Ruder’s final long ball of the night with 5 minutes to go, and a Chris
Kendrix trey as the shot clock expired at the 3:09 mark.
UALR chipped away and got back within four points on two occasions, but
MSU had an answer each time. Marshall responded on the first run with a
floater in the lane with just under a minute to go, and then after a Ruder steal
with 7 seconds left, Marshall made two free throws with 6.9 ticks showing.
The Trojans fired home a desperation 3-pointer by Isom with 1.3 seconds to
go to make it a 71-68 game, but Marshall was wrapped up and fouled before
the buzzer after which he converted his final two charity shots of the night.
The Bears made 56 percent of their shots in the second half and tallied a 1511 rebounding edge in the decisive second period.
In the first half, the Bears stormed out to a seven-point lead 11 minutes into
the action, but UALR answered with a 7-0 run to tie the game at 22. Ruder responded by giving the lead back to the home club on consecutive possessions,
first with a 12-footer, and then a clutch trey from the corner at the 5:35 mark
that put MSU ahead 27-24. But the rest of the half belonged to the Trojans who
closed out the half on an 8-0 run to take a 32-27 lead into the break.
Marcus Marshall scored a game-high 21 points, and Gavin Thurman notched
19 off the bench to help lead Missouri State (5-3) to a 73-61 road win over
Southeast Missouri State in the Bears’ first-ever win at the Show-Me Center.
The Bears also got 16 points from Austin Ruder who made 5-of-6 from
beyond the arc, while Camyn Boone snagged 9 rebounds to help the Bears
out-rebound the Redhawks 36-34 in a game the visitors trailed by four at the
midway point.
After trailing by as many as seven in the first half, the Bears took their first
lead of the night on a Dorrian Williams transition layup with 17:46 to go and
never fell behind again, using a critical 9-2 run midway through the period to pull
ahead by nine after a Thurman tip-in.
Down the stretch, SEMO got within 59-54 with 6:33 to play before a Boone
layup on a pass from Marshall pushed Paul Lusk’s squad ahead by seven, and
Thurman extended it to nine on a pair of free throws with 3:11 to play.
Southeast’s press gave the Bears issues with two-and-a-half to play as the
Redhawks climbed back within 63-59, but a Thurman trey – his third of the night
– with 1:47 on the clock, put the game out of reach.
MSU made 7-of-8 from the foul line in the final minute to close out the win
and hand SEMO its first home loss of the year.
For the night, Missouri State was 22-for-53 (.415), 12-of-19 (.632) from beyond the arc and 17-of-20 (.850) at the line with 13 turnovers.
SEMO got 13 from Nino Johnson, 12 from Antonius Cleveland and 11 by Isiah
Jones. The Redhawks finished 23-of-58 (.397), 6-of-24 (.250) from downtown
and 9-of-13 (.692) at the line with 15 mishaps and 9 steals.
In a sloppy first half, the Bears shot under 30 percent and committed 7 turnovers to trail 32-28 at the break. MSU drew within 16-15 with eight-and-a-half
minutes left in the opening half on a pair of free throws by Marcus Marshall, but
gave up three dunks over the next five SEMO possessions to fall behind again.
MSU climbed within 22-21 and 24-23 from there, but was unable to take the
lead. An 8-2 run by the Redhawks before the intermission gave Southeast its
biggest lead of the half at 32-25 with 1:01 to play. Thurman then responded
with his second trey in the final minute, and the Bears’ defense got a stop on the
final possession of the period to pull the visitors within four at the midway point.

2014-15 MISSOURI STATE GAME-BY-GAME SUMMARY
Game 9
Game 10
Dec. 15, 2014, Mabee Center, Tulsa, Okla.
Oral Roberts 80, Missouri State 61
Dec. 17, 2014, Reynolds Center, Tulsa, Okla.
Tulsa 74, Missouri State 70
Loomis Gerring scored four of his team-high 15 points in just over a minute
into the second half, including a 19-foot jumper that put Missouri State ahead
37-34. But the flood gates opened from there, and home standing Oral Roberts
(4-4) reeled off 19 unanswered points over the next six minutes to help sink the
Bears, 80-61, in a make-up game from a Dec. 7 game lost due to a power.
Marcus Marshall added 12 points for MSU (5-4), which committed eight turnovers in the second half, while Bobby Word contributed a game-high 16 off the
bench for the Golden Eagles who improved to 3-0 at home this season.
ORU came into the contest averaging just 4.3 3-pointers per game, but Monday was a different story. Scott Sutton’s team knocked down 10-of-23 (.435)
shots from beyond the arc, including a game-tying bomb by Aaron Young that
knotted the game at 37 and start Oral Roberts’ decisive run.
Camyn Boone broke the dry spell with a hook shot with 12:15 to go, and
Gavin Thurman later helped MSU’s efforts with a baseline jumper with 11:38 remaining to make it a 53-41 game at the time. But the Golden Eagles responded
with a vengeance, this time dropping four 3-pointers on the Bears over a twominute span as part of a 16-0 outburst.
When the dust cleared after Word’s fourth trey of the night, ORU had built a
69-41 lead with just over nine minutes to play.
Shawn Roundtree, Jr., and Marcus Marshall drained back-to-back 3-pointers
for MSU to stop the bleeding and end the home team’s second substantial run
of the half. But the Bears would get no closer than 19 the rest of the way.
The Bears made just 4-of-17 (.235) from beyond the arc and were out-rebounded 35-31. MSU was just 8-of-26 from the field in the decisive second half
to finish at 39.3 percent for the game.
MSU collected a team-high 6 rebounds from Tyler McCullough, who was
celebrating his 20th birthday, while Oklahoma native Dorrian Williams dished
out a game-high 6 assists in the loss.
In the first half, the Bears led 33-32 at the break with Gerring scoring 11 and
Marshall converting 9 in the opening stanza. There were six lead changes,
but no more pivotal than a 6-0 run by the visitors in the final 90 seconds with
McCullough knocking down a 17-footer to tie the game before Gerring and Williams scored on transition layups to push the Bears up 33-29.
Oral Roberts banked in a long 3-pointer at the buzzer to make it a one-point
game at the intermission, their second banked-in trey of the period.
Mabee Center, Tulsa, Okla. (Attendance: 2,567)
Missouri State junior Marcus Marshall scored 23 of his game-high 36 points in
the second half, but it was not enough as the Bears fell 74-70 to Tulsa.
Marshall was 11-for-17 from the field and 7-for-9 from 3-point range to set a
Reynolds Center opponent scoring record and match an arena 3-point shooting
record. He was also a perfect 7-for-7 from the line.
Tulsa was led by James Woodard with 26 and Shaquille Harrison with 25
as Frank Haith’s squad shot 64 percent from the field in the second half to
overcome a decisive 34-27 MSU rebounding advantage and a late charge by
the Bears.
Missouri State, which trailed 29-28 at the half, took the lead briefly on a Marshall 3-pointer with 15 minutes to play and regained it less than a minute later
on a baseline jumper by Tyler McCullough.
But nine different times in the second half, when the Bears were within 2
points of the lead, Tulsa scored clutch shots to stretch its lead. Woodard did so
on four occasions, and his 3-ball with 4:23 left was a huge turning point as it
squelched another Marshall trey and gave the home side a 65-61 lead headed
into the final media timeout.
Marshall would not score again, but the Bears continued to battle down the
stretch. Thurman dropped in a layup with three minutes to go to make it 68-65,
and later Austin Ruder’s second 3-pointer of the night made it 70-68 with 73
seconds showing.
On Tulsa’s next possession, the Bears got a key stop, forcing Marquel Curtis
into a miss that Dorrian Williams gathered in and threw down the floor to a breaking Marshall. But Williams’ pass overshot the game’s top scorer who sprinted to
the baseline to gather it in, but threw it away while falling out of bounds.
Moments later, the Golden Hurricane took advantage of an intentional foul on
Loomis Gerring by converting both free throws and retaining possession with a
72-68 lead in the final minute. TU then pushed ahead by five on the same trip
on a free throw by Woodard.
Thurman converted a hard drive to the bucket with 20.8 seconds to play to
cut the deficit to 73-70, but his 3-point attempt with 11 seconds to go was off its
mark, and Tulsa corralled the rebound to secure a hard-fought victory.
The Bears committed 11 turnovers, five of which were caused by Tulsa steals,
and were outscored in the paint, 36-16.
Thurman was the only other Bear in double figures with 10 points, while
Camyn Boone tallied 7 points, and Williams finished with 9 points, 6 rebounds
and 3 assists.

2014-15 MISSOURI STATE GAME-BY-GAME SUMMARY
Game 11
Game 12
Dec. 20, 2014, JQH Arena, Springfield, Mo.
Eastern Michigan 77, Missouri State 65
Dec. 22, 2014, JQH Arena, Springfield, Mo.
Missouri State 52, Oral Roberts 45
Eastern Michigan shot 51 percent from the field and withstood a late rally by
Missouri State to hand the Bears their first home loss of the season.
Karrington Ward posted 18 points and a game-high 9 rebounds for EMU,
while Raven Lee added 14 points. Lee connected on four 3-pointers, none
bigger than his third one with 7:42 left that ended a 12-1 Bears’ run and had the
home club within 55-49 of the lead.
After back-to-back 3-pointers by Marcus Marshall and Gavin Thurman helped
Missouri State whittle a once-18-point deficit down to six, the Bears seemingly
had a stop after a missed three by Jodan Price. But Ward came over an MSU
defender for the offensive rebound and kicked it to Lee for the clutch trey which
pushed the Eagles’ lead back to nine.
Marshall, who scored all of his game-high 21 points in the second half, got
the Bears back within seven on Missouri State’s next possession with a pair of
free throws. But Ward and Nazion Brandon led the visitors on an 8-2 outburst
over the next minute to push Eastern’s lead back to 13.
The Bears had one final rally in them around the three-minute mark after
another Lee 3-pointer gave EMU a 69-55 advantage. Marshall converted a fourpoint play after his fourth trey of the night, and Camyn Boone logged a pair of
free throws to make it 69-61 with 3:03 to go.
But after getting a rare Eagles’ miss at the free throw line on their next possession, the Bears pushed the ball to Gavin Thurman whose short jumper in the
lane was off its mark with about two-and-a-half minutes to go. The Bears had to
foul, and the visitors converted six of their final eight charity shots to close it out.
Missouri State failed to make another field goal after Marshall’s 3-pointer and
subsequent free throw at the 3:24 mark.
EMU, which led the nation in field goal percentage defense a year ago, held
MSU to a season-low 31.3 percent effort from the field on 20-of-64 attempts.
Paul Lusk’s Bears finished 7-of-26 (.269) from beyond the arc, and a seasonbest 18-of-19 (.947) at the foul line to mark MSU’s fifth straight game converting
80 percent or more from the charity stripe.
In the first half, an 11-1 Eastern Michigan run over the last five minutes of the
period gave the Eagles a 31-19 lead at the break.
MSU, which started 1-for-14 from the field, finished the half just 6-for-30
(.200) from the perimeter and 2-of-11 (.182) from long range.
Missouri State, which fell to 3-1 at JQH Arena this season, suffered just its
eighth double-digit home loss since the facility opened in 2008. .
Missouri State’s defense held visiting Oral Roberts to just four second-half
field goals and 32 percent shooting for the game in a 52-45 Bears’ non-conference win, avenging last week’s 19-point loss to the Golden Eagles.
The Bears got 16 points from Marcus Marshall and 10 from Loomis Gerring,
while Tyler McCullough had a game-high 7 rebounds in his return as a starter.
Oral Roberts, which was held to just 14 points in the second half, got 12
points apiece from Obi Emegano and Bobby Word for the game.
After falling behind by 10 in the first half, the Bears stepped up their defense
when it counted, forcing ORU into missing its final four field goal attempts of the
first half and 23 of its last 27 on the night. Scott Sutton’s squad was just 4-for-23
(.174) in the second half and finished 16-for-50 overall.
It didn’t take MSU long to close its double-figure deficit within striking distance
as McCullough scored the first two baskets of the second half, before Marshall
knocked down a 3-pointer in transition, and Dorrian Williams kissed a jumper off
the glass to make it a 33-31 game less than five minutes into the second period.
The Bears wouldn’t tie the game until the 10:29 mark when Gavin Thurman
drove to the bucket for an easy layup, and finally snagged their first lead of the
game on a pair of free throws by Loomis Gerring with 4:44 to go.
With Missouri State’s defense grinding, however, ORU went without a field
goal for the final 10 minutes of the game, missing its final 11 shots. The Golden
Eagles only managed six points from the line on nine attempts in that span.
Still, MSU had to scrape down the stretch to seal the win, as a jumper by
Marshall and a hook shot by Boone both pushed the Bears ahead by three
down the stretch. Finally a two-handed dunk by Boone on a great open-court
pass from Dorrian Williams put the game out of reach with 33 seconds to go.
Missouri State secured its sixth-straight game shooting 80-percent or better
at the foul line by converting 13-of-16 (.813) at the stripe on a night when Marshall’s consecutive free throw streak ended at 29.
In the first half, the Bears got 12 of their 21 points from the bench, including 9
by Christian Kirk, as they fell behind by 10 at the intermission.
MSU was just 8-for-28 (.286) from the field and had the misfortune of a controversial block-charge call go against them with 2:30 left in the half that gave
ORU a 10-point lead headed into the break.
Neither team scored from there, and ORU used its 21-16 rebounding advantage and 44-percent first-half shooting to lead 31-21 at the midway point..

2014-15 MISSOURI STATE GAME-BY-GAME SUMMARY
Game 13
Game 14
Dec. 31, 2014, SIU Arena, Carbondale, Ill.
Missouri State 53, Southern Illinois 50
Jan. 3, 2014, JQH Arena, Springfield, Mo.
Missouri State 62, Drake 37
MSU kicked off its 25th season in the Missouri Valley Conference with a dramatic 53-50 road win over Southern Illinois in a game the Bears never trailed.
Marcus Marshall scored 12 for MSU, including 9 in the second half, while
Dorrian Williams added 10, and Camyn Boone added 8 points and 8 rebounds.
After MSU took its biggest lead of the night, 33-17, on a Williams step-back
jumper just three minutes into the second half, the Salukis embarked on a 10-1
run over the next three minutes. Back-to-back 3-pointers by Anthony Beane and
Deion Lavender and got a dunk by Jordan Caroline highlighted the outburst and
made it a 34-27 game with 14:35 to go.
The Bears got a 3-pointer by Williams to push the lead back to 10 and rode
the momentum of a Marshall pull-up jumper at the 12:34 mark to lead 39-29.
But foul trouble soon ensued, and even though SIU went nearly 9 minutes
without a field goal, the Salukis made a living at the foul line and made 9-of-12
over a seven-minute span to make it a 44-38 contest with five-and-a-half to go.
SIU’s Sean O’Brien scored on a slashing layup from there to make it a
four-point game, but Tyler McCullough stepped up for the visiting squad with a
jumper that put MSU ahead 46-40 headed into the final media timeout.
Freshman Deion Lavender came out of the media break with a 3-pointer for
Southern to get the home club within three for the first time since the opening
five minutes of the game. But the Bears kept their poise and rallied behind a
Marshall 3-pointer from the right wing just inside the three-minute mark, and
later pushed ahead 53-47 on a Boone put-back with 68 seconds remaining.
SIU got it back to 53-49 on a Beane basket and then made it a 53-50 game
with 9.3 seconds left after Caroline made one of two at the line.
The ensuing in-bound pass by the Bears was picked off by Beane whose desperation 3-point attempt in traffic as time expired was off its mark.
Bears’ head coach Paul Lusk improved to 4-0 in conference openers, while
MSU earned its sixth straight win in Valley openers to improve to 16-9 since
joining the league in 1990-91.
In the first half, Missouri State forced 14 turnovers and held the Salukis to just
2-of-11 (.182) from the field to take a commanding 26-15 lead into the break.
After Missouri State built a 14-5 lead midway through the period on a trey
by Williams, SIU whittled its deficit to 16-13 after a 6-0 run led by three charity
shots by Bola Olaniyan. The Bears closed out the half on a 10-2 run in the final
three minutes with Marshall banking in a 3-pointer at the buzzer.
Missouri State held visiting Drake to 29 percent shooting and notched its second straight wire-to-wire conference victory with a 62-37 win over the Bulldogs.
Marcus Marshall led all scorers with 19 points for MSU, while the Bears also
got 12 points apiece from Austin Ruder and Camyn Boone to extend their win
streak to three.
Boone and Loomis Gerring also notched 8 rebounds to help Missouri State
gain a 41-21 rebounding advantage in the game.
After leading by 13 at the midway point, the Bears turned up the heat in the
second half and held Drake to 2-of-11 from the field in the first nine minutes of
the final period. Meanwhile, MSU pushed ahead by as many as 24 with a 14-3
run to start the frame as Ruder and Marshall knocked down 3-pointers, and
Boone scored twice up close.
Drake climbed back within 49-30 midway through the half with five unanswered points over the next three minutes. But a dunk by Boone ended the
Missouri State drought and started a 13-2 run for the home side that saw the
Bears lead 62-32 with just over three minutes left in the game.
Drake scored 2 of its 5 second-half shots in the final three minutes of the
game and finished 12-of-42 (.286) for the afternoon, including just 2-of-11 (.182)
from beyond the arc. The Bulldogs, who had won two of four coming into the
game, turned the ball over 12 times and made only 11-of-19 (.579) foul shots.
Missouri State’s trips to the line were limited, but the Bears converted 6-of-8
(.750) from there and 25-of-52 (.481) from the field with Ruder providing 4 of the
club’s 6 3-pointers. The Bears also blocked 5 shots and snagged 7 steals while
posting 28 points in the paint.
In the first half, the Bears shot 50 percent from the field and out-rebounded
the Bulldogs by a 19-10 margin to take a 35-22 lead into the break.
MSU used a 10-0 run midway through the opening half to stretch a one-point
lead into a 24-13 advantage on a transition 3-pointer by Ruder at the 6:18 mark.
Missouri State, which never trailed, built its biggest of the opening stanza,
33-18, on a Marshall jumper with 2:02 left in the period. Marshall’s shot capped
a 9-2 run over two-and-a-half minutes and sent the Bears into the break with
back-breaking momentum.

2014-15 MISSOURI STATE GAME-BY-GAME SUMMARY
Game 15
Game 16
Jan. 7, 2015, Hulman Center, Terre Haute, Ind.
Indiana State 71, Missouri State 56
Jan. 11, 2015, JQH Arena, Springfield, Mo.
Illinois State 69, Missouri State 55
After rallying behind its defense to win three straight games, it was the
defense the let Missouri State down in a 71-56 Missouri Valley Conference road
loss to Indiana State.
The Sycamores retained a share of the Valley lead behind a 24-point outing
by Justin Gant who was 9-of-13 from the field with a game-high 6 rebounds.
Devonte Brown added 16 points on 7-of-10 shooting for Indiana State, which
scored 38 points in the paint and converted 56 percent from the field.
Missouri State matched a season high with 15 turnovers.
After leading by 11 at the break, ISU needed less than five minutes to build its
lead to 14 points early in the second half. A layup and free throw by Gant with
15:46 remaining in the contest gave Indiana State a 44-30 lead.
Paul Lusk’s Bears whittled their deficit to six after Marshall’s first field goal of
the game two minutes later capped a 9-1 run by the visitors.
With just under 12 minutes to go, Marshall scored a traditional 3-point play to
make it a 47-42 game. A few seconds later Ruder responded to a Brown trey
with three straight free throws to put the score at 50-45.
But over the next four minutes, Indiana State put the game away, weaving
through traffic for a series of close-range shots as part of an 11-3 outburst. By
the time Marshall ended the bleeding with his only 3-pointer of the night, Indiana
State led 60-48 with under seven minutes to go.
Brenton Scott knocked down his third and final 3-pointer of the night for ISU
with 2:17 showing and gave the home side its biggest lead of the night, 69-52.
Freshmen Chris Kendrix and Shawn Roundtree, Jr., added points to Missouri
State’s side from there, but the damage was done in handing the Bears their
first conference loss of the year.
In the first half, Indiana State made its first 6 field goal attempts to take a 12-0
lead out of the gates in the first three minutes. The Bears burned two timeouts
before the first media timeout and battled back to tie the game six minutes later
when Boone’s hook shot found its mark at the 11:19 mark.
Ruder’s second first-half 3-pointer to give Missouri State a 17-16 lead midway
through the opening period.
But, a subsequent 14-2 run by the Sycamores over the next four minutes
stretched ISU’s advantage to 29-19 and later 33-20 – their biggest of the half.
Missouri State couldn’t overcome a 22-point first-half deficit in a 69-55 home
loss to Illinois State.
Hulman Center, Terre Haute, Ind. (Attendance: 3,677)
The Bears rallied in the second half, holding the Redbirds to just 20 points and
28.6 percent from the field in the final 20 minutes, but Paul Lusk’s club couldn’t
find the offensive answer to mount a comeback.
Tyler McCullough scored 12 points and blocked 4 shots for MSU, while Marcus Marshall scored 11, and Loomis Gerring snagged a game-high 7 rebounds.
Marshall scored the game’s first points on a traditional 3-point play just 43
seconds into the contest, but seven minutes later ISU opened up a double-digit
lead for the first team on a steal and layup by Paris Lee to make it 18-7.
ISU made its first four 3-pointers to keep the Bears at arm’s length, but
McCullough’s jumper with 8 minutes left in the first half brought Missouri State
back within 24-17. The Redbirds then responded by scoring 13 of the game’s
next 17 points before Christian Kirk knocked down a short jumper for the home
side to make it a 37-23 game just 3:01 before the break.
But Illinois State ended the half by making six straight field goals and went
into the intermission with a 49-27 advantage behind a 14-for-15 effort at the line
and 7-of-10 beyond the arc.
The Bears were able to keep ISU’s offense in check in the second half and
out-rebounded the visitors by a 20-13 margin in that span. But the comeback
effort that helped MSU overcome a 16-point deficit to the Redbirds last season
at JQH Arena wasn’t there this time. Every time the Bears got within striking
distance, ISU responded.
An Austin Ruder transition bucket with 15 minutes to play made it a 16-point
game, but Lee answered with a 3-point play on ISU’s next possession. The
Bears missed their next nine shots until freshman Chris Kendrix knocked down
MSU’s only 3-pointer of the game with 7:23 to go and make it a 62-45 game.
Less than 2 minutes later Tony Willis drained ISU’s ninth trey of the afternoon to
push the Redbirds back ahead by 19.
MSU outscored ISU 8-3 from there as McCullough scored twice, Loomis Gerring converted a layup and Shawn Roundtree Jr., connected on a short jumper.
Illinois State out-rebounded the Bears by a 39-29 margin and got 41 points
from its reserves to help overcome 14 turnovers. The Redbirds also shot 9-of15 (.600) from long distance to tie a JQH Arena record.

2014-15 MISSOURI STATE GAME-BY-GAME SUMMARY
Game 17
Game 18
Jan. 14, 2015, JQH Arena, Springfield, Mo.
Evansville 56, Missouri State 54
Jan. 18, 2015, McLeod Center, Cedar Falls, Iowa
Northern Iowa 60, Missouri State 46
Missouri State held the Valley’s top scorer to just 7 points and 2-for-12 from
the field, but it was D.J. Balentine’s bank shot with 5.8 seconds remaining that
was the difference as Evansville clipped the Bears, 56-54.
Mislav Brzoja scored a game-high 18 points for Evansville, while Egidijus
Mockevicius added 14 points and 12 rebounds for the Purple Aces who were
held to their third-lowest field-goal percentage of the season (.400).
Missouri State, which played without the services of its top scorer Marcus
Marshall due to a team suspension, had four players in double figures, including
15 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists by Dorrian Williams. Christian Kirk added
12 points, freshman Chris Kendrix contributed 10 points and 5 rebounds in his
return to the starting rotation, and Tyler McCullough notched 11 points for MSU.
After falling behind by 12 in the first half, the Bears trimmed their deficit to
31-25 at the break and evened the score at 36 on a McCullough dunk and free
throw with 14:38 remaining.
The home club, which made four more field goals than Evansville on the
night, took its first lead on a hook shot by Kirk with just under 13 minutes
remaining and then built its advantage to 40-37 moments later with a pair of free
throws from Williams.
Mockevicius responded by scoring Evansville’s next 8 points to lead an 8-4
Aces run over a five-minute span that gave Marty Simmons’ squad a 45-44 lead.
Missouri State battled back from there with Williams scoring on a short
jumper and Kendrix adding a close-range bucket around the six-minute mark
that put the Bears ahead 48-45.
After Brzoja’s second 3-pointer of the night tied the game, 48-48, McCullough
answered with a 16-footer with 4:23 left in the contest. The Bears made all four
free throw attempts they took from there, but they would not make another field
goal down the stretch.
After Brzoja’s final trey of the night splashed home at the 2:43 mark to push
Evansville ahead 54-52, McCullough knocked down a pair of free throws at the
minute mark to knot the score. Evansville got two cracks at the winning shot
thanks to a foul call with 38 seconds left. UE was not in the bonus, but set up
the winning play on a drive to the bucket and shot off the glass by Balentine
who entered the game ranked No. 4 nationally in scoring.
Missouri State had two shots on its final possession – the first on a closerange shot by Williams that was smothered out of bounds by Mockevicius, and
the latter by Austin Ruder whose 3-pointer out of the left corner as time expired
rimmed out.
Seth Tuttle scored 22 points and grabbed 10 rebounds to lead No. 23-ranked
Northern Iowa (16-2, 5-1 MVC) past Missouri State, 60-46, in Missouri Valley
Conference play.
Tuttle was 9-for-16 from the field with 3 assists and helped UNI out-rebound
the Bears by a 37-26 margin. UNI also snagged 18 offensive rebounds, the
most by any Missouri State opponent this season.
Missouri State (8-10, 2-4) got 13 points from Austin Ruder and 11 from Dorrian Williams. Loomis Gerring added 5 rebounds, while Williams contributed 5
assists for the Bears who dropped their fourth straight.
UNI set the pace early with Tuttle scoring the game’s first points 16 seconds
in and mounting 8 points in the first 12 minutes.
After the Panthers took a double-digit lead on a hook shot by Tuttle, the Bears
countered with a 3-pointer by Gerring to make it a 15-8 game at the 10:43 mark.
But UNI showed the poise and composure of a nationally-ranked club playing
on its home floor, reeling of 6 of the game’s next 8 points to push ahead 21-10.
Missouri State converted the game’s next five points with Boone hitting a
free throw, Williams knocking down a jumper from the elbow and Christian Kirk
converting a hook shot to make it 21-15.
UNI managed a free throw on its next trip to climb ahead by seven, but Williams scored on the Bears’ next possession to get the visitors back within 22-17
at the 4:35 mark.
But Tuttle took things into his own hands and ended a five-minute stretch
without a UNI field goal on the Panthers’ next possession. He accounted for 8
straight points to help get the UNI back to double-digits, 32-20, at the half.
Tuttle finished the first stanza with 16 points and 5 rebounds to help UNI to an
18-11 rebounding edge and 45-percent shooting effort in the first 20 minutes.
The second half showed signs of promise early with Ruder jumping on the
Panthers early with a short jumper and a 3-pointer to get MSU back within 3527 just over three minutes into the second half. But MSU would go almost six
more minutes without a field goal from there and fell victim to UNI’s assortment
of long-range shooters and fancy post moves to trail by as many as 21.
The Bears, who finished 14-for-38 (.368) from the field and 6-of-16 (.375)
from beyond the arc, scored the final 7 points of the game. MSU was also 12-of17 (.706) from the foul line with 12 turnovers and 26 rebounds.

2014-15 MISSOURI STATE GAME-BY-GAME SUMMARY
Game 19
Game 20
Jan. 21, 2015, JQH Arena, Springfield, Mo.
Wichita State 76, Missouri State 53
Jan. 24, 2015, Carver Arena, Peoria, Ill.
Bradley 61, Missouri State 59
No. 14 Wichita State knocked down 11 3-pointers and out-rebounded home
standing Missouri State by 16 in a 76-53 Shockers’ before a season-best crowd
of 8,674 at JQH Arena.
Starting guards Fred VanVleet, Ron Baker and Tekele Cotton each scored
15 for WSU, which became the first Valley team since 1924 to win 25 straight
league games.
Missouri State got 10 points apiece from Chris Kendrix and Dorrian Williams
with Tyler McCullough adding 8, and Loomis Gerring ripping down a game-high
6 rebounds.
The Bears kept things close in the early going with 11 lead changes in the first
10 minutes. But, the Shockers gained separation at the foul line, using charity
shots by Rashard Kelly and VanVleet to turn a narrow 17-16 advantage into a
21-16 lead with 7 minutes left in the opening half.
The Shockers dropped in three 3-pointers from there and pushed ahead by
10 briefly on Cotton’s long bomb at the 3-minute mark.
However, the Bears were game and retaliated with a dunk by Gerring, a trey
by Williams and a jumper from the elbow by Ruder to get back within 37-33
before VanVleet beat the buzzer on a running one-hander to make it a 39-33
game at the intermission.
The Shockers scored the first four points of the second half to gain a doublefigure advantage again, 43-33. The Bears fought back within 8 points four times
over the next five minutes, but could not close the gap the rest of the night.
With 13:10 to go, Baker started a Wichita State scoring flurry with third trey of
the night as part of a 13-3 run in a four-minute span to push Gregg Marshall’s
club up 60-42 with 9 minutes remaining.
Missouri State went the final 5 minutes, 4 seconds without a field goal down
the stretch, allowing WSU to extend the final margin beyond 20 points.
Missouri State matched the Shockers with 22 points in the paint and hit 40
percent (20-for-50) of its shots – the Bears’ best shooting effort since Jan. 3.
The Bears also blocked 7 shots and notched a season-best with just 5 turnovers against Wichita’s pressure defense.
Missouri State had two shots in the deciding moments of the game to tie or
win, but couldn’t find the mark on either one in a 61-59 road loss to Bradley.
Austin Ruder, who led MSU with 15 points, hit a baseline jumper with 8.3 seconds left to get the Bears back within two points of the lead. After MSU forced
Bradley into a travel on the ensuing in-bound play, the Bears got the ball back
with a chance to complete the comeback after trailing by as many as 13.
Ruder broke loose in the right corner and fired a long jumper off the rim, but
the ball went off a Braves’ player, giving MSU another shot with under 3 seconds to play. Ruder came off a screen on the next play from the left wing, and
his potential game-winner caromed off to preserve a narrow Bradley win.
Camyn Boone added 14 points for Paul Lusk’s Bears, while Chris Kendrix
netted a career-high 13 points. Loomis Gerring became the first MSU player
this season to crack double-figures in rebounds with 11 to help Missouri State
out-rebound the Braves, 34-26.
Bradley used the momentum of a 35-25 halftime lead to hold off the Bears
early in the second half. The Braves scored the first bucket of the second
stanza to lead by 12 – and later 13 -- and the Bears were unable to get closer
than 8 points through the first 12-and-a-half minutes of the period.
MSU finally broke through with 8:30 remaining on Kendrix’s fourth trey of the
night to make it a 50-45 game, the closest the Bears had been since late in the
first half. Tyler McCullough later went to the line with a chance to draw the visitors closer, but missed the front end.
The Braves needed just two minutes to regain a 9-point advantage, but the
Bears reeled off 7 unanswered points with a pair of free throws by Boone, a
transition layup by Ruder and a 3-pointer from the right wing by Ruder with 4:32
remaining that made it a 54-52 game.
Bradley temporarily squelched the momentum with three free throws by
Jones, but Gavin Thurman responded with a hook shot for Missouri State to
make it a 57-54 game headed into the final media timeout.
Boone blocked a Bradley shot with 2 minutes to go, and Ruder was fouled on a
3-point shot, making two ensuing free throws, to get the Bears back within 57-56.
But a clutch trey by Jones with 1:30 to go got Bradley to the 60-point mark
first and proved to be the game-winner, despite the last-minute heroics by Missouri State, which shot 21-for-50 (.420) overall and 6-of-17 (.353) from three.
The Bears, who dropped their sixth game in a row, missed a season-high 9
free throws to finish 11-for-20 (.550) at the stripe.

2014-15 MISSOURI STATE GAME-BY-GAME SUMMARY
Game 21
Game 22
Jan. 28, 2015, Redbird Arena, Normal, Ill.
Illinois State 67, Missouri State 57
Jan. 31, 2015, JQH Arena, Springfield, Mo.
Missouri State 52, Southern Illinois 46
As both teams reached the midway point in the MVC schedule, it was evident
that Illinois State had just a little more firepower than the Missouri State Bears,
who dropped their seventh straight game in a hard-fought 67-57 decision.
The Bears had just eight players in uniform, but each one of them scored and
tallied a rebound, including a team-high 13 points by Camyn Boone and 10 from
lone senior Christian Kirk who started for the first time this season.
Missouri State finished with its best shooting effort since Jan. 3, converting
20-of-46 (.435) shots and knocking down 14-of-18 (.778) at the line. But the difference was on the glass where the Redbirds had the guns to out-rebound the
Bears by a 36-26 margin while forcing them into a season-high 17 turnovers.
ISU got 20 points and 12 rebounds off the bench from DeVaughn AkoonPurcell, while Daishon Knight added 14 points, and Reggie Lynch added 12.
After MSU cut into a 30-25 deficit early in the second half with a jumper by
Austin Ruder, Illinois State reeled off seven unanswered points to lead by
double digits for the first time, 37-27. The Redbirds built their lead to as many as
11 before an 8-2 outburst by the Bears made it a 42-37 game with 12:26 to go.
But ISU found a groove in its offensive set over the next five minutes, extending its lead to 50-43 on a thundering dunk by Akoon-Purcell with just over 8
minutes remaining. The Redbirds’ lead teetered between 7 and 9 points for the
next four minutes before Dan Muller’s squad got a layup by Tony Willis to push
ahead by 11 points -- 62-51 -- with 4:14 showing.
Missouri State used a trey by Chris Kendrix to get back within 62-55, but after
Boone and Loomis Gerring fouled out, the Bears had little left in the tank and
could not inch closer down the stretch. Meanwhile, ISU converted five of its last
six charity shots to put the game away.
MSU was just 3-of-14 (.214) from three, but tallied 9 steals and 13 assists.
ISU notched 14 offensive rebounds to help counter its 15 turnovers.
There were 11 lead changes and three ties in the first half with MSU opening up
an early 5-0 lead before ISU converted its first field goal more than 5 minutes in.
With 6 minutes left in the first stanza, Dorrian Williams got to the line twice,
converting 2-of-4 from the stripe to push the Bears ahead 17-16. Williams later
ended a 4-0 ISU run with a left-side jumper just before the final media timeout.
The Redbirds wrapped a 10-2 run to lead 26-19 before Chris Kendrix started
an MSU rally at the two-minute mark with a pair of free throws. Gavin Thurman
hit a pair of free throws, and then a last-second baseline jumper before the horn
to make it a 28-25 game at the intermission.
Missouri State got back on the winning track, scoring a 52-46 win over visiting
Southern Illinois and snapping a seven-game Missouri Valley Conference skid
in the process before 6,324 fans at JQH Arena.
Gavin Thurman scored 11 points and snagged 6 rebounds to lead MSU, while
Camyn Boone added 9 points, and Tyler McCullough scored 7 points.
The Salukis were led by sophomore Kyle Smithpeters and freshman Jordan
Caroline with 14 points apiece, while Anthony Beane scored 11 points, despite
going 3-for-10 from the field.
After a see-saw battle through the first 15 minutes of the game, MSU used
a 6-0 run with six minutes to go in the opening half to take a 19-14 lead on a
close-range bucket by Thurman. SIU closed its deficit to 21-19 on a pair of
jump shots by Caroline, but the Bears rallied before the intermission on a putback by McCullough and baseline jumper by Roundtree before the horn to lead
23-19 at the midway point.
In the second half, it was Roundtree who scored big points again for the
home side, first on a runner to put the Bears up 31-23, and later on a 3-pointer
at the 12-minute mark to give Missouri State its first double-digit lead, 37-25.
The Bears would build their lead to as many as 16 points from there as the
Salukis went nearly 10 minutes without a field goal, scoring 8-of-10 free throws
in that span to maintain any semblance of an offense.
Beane ended the drought for SIU with a 3-pointer with 4:43 to play, but Thurman quickly responded on MSU’s next possession with a traditional 3-point play
that got the MSU lead back to 14 points, 50-36, just before the 4-minute mark.
But with victory in sight, MSU would tighten up down the stretch and went
the rest of the night without a field goal, and the Bears converted just 2-of-5
free throws to open the door for Barry Hinson’s squad. Southern responded
with 10-2 run to close out the contest and make the final score respectable as
Caroline scored three times, and Smithpeters drained his second trey of the
night in the final minute.
Paul Lusk’s Bears shot an even 50 percent in the second half on 12-of-24
shots to finish at 45.8 percent for the game (22-for-48). MSU struggled from
beyond the arc again, firing below 30 percent for the fifth time in seven games
with a 2-for-15 (.133) effort, while scoring just 6-of-11 (.545) free throws.
The Bears’ bench accounted for 29 points – its second-best effort of the year.
The MSU bench also out-rebounded the starters, 17-14.

head coach
Paul Lusk, widely regarded as one of the best young head coaches in
the nation, is in his fourth season as Missouri State’s sideline boss.
Lusk, whose recent, guaranteed, five-year contract extension will run
through March 31, 2019, led the Bears to the first 20-win season and
postseason appearance of his tenure a year ago and returns four starters
from that squad for the current campaign.
In addition to MSU’s return to league prominence, Lusk was recognized
with distinguished honors. He finished third in the MVC Coach of the Year
voting and was named a finalist for the 2014 Skip Prosser Man of the
Year Award. The Prosser Award is presented annually to honor those elite
coaches who not only achieve success on the basketball court but who
display moral integrity off of it.
Lusk’s Bears played four top-10 ranked teams in his third season and
32
Paul
Lusk
parlayed that experience into manufacturing the eighth-best turnaround
in the NCAA Division I ranks. MSU improved by a +9.0 margin in the span
of a year, the third-best improvement in MSU history as well.
After losing top player Marcus Marshall for the season with a knee
injury suffered against No. 6 Wichita State on Jan. 11, the Bears fought
to find their identity at times down the stretch, but tied for fourth place
overall in a competitive Missouri Valley race. All told, nine MSU opponents
played postseason games in 2014-15, including four in the NCAA field,
with the Bears going 7-7 against postseason clubs.
Senior Jarmar Gulley earned second-team All-MVC honors in 2014,
while classmate Nathan Scheer snagged MVC Scholar-Athlete Team honors for a third straight year. Likewise, local product Austin Ruder earned
MVC All-Freshman team honors after he broke the Bears’ freshman
3-point record (72), making him just the fourth freshman in Valley history
to score 70 or more long-range shots in a season.
MSU advanced to the MVC Tournament semifinals for the first time
since 2011, but the Bears’ run in the 2014 CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament was short-lived with eventual champion Murray State
clipping the Bears in come-from-behind fashion, 66-63, to end the season
with a 20-13 ledger, including a 14-3 mark at JQH Arena. MSU finished
85th in the final regular-season RPI, making it the highest-rated team in
Division I to not make the 2014 NIT or NCAA fields.
In 2012-13, Lusk fielded the seventh-youngest team in Division I basketball but led MSU to its 42nd straight winning record at home and the
fifth-best turnover average in the nation (10.2). The Bears also set highwater marks for most games against ranked opponents with six and the
best single-season scoring total for a freshman class in program history.
The rebuilding campaign saw the young club finish in the NCAA’s top
200 in the final RPI and the top 100 in home attendance average, despite
a final 11-22 ledger. And for just the second time in school history, the
Bears landed the MVC Freshman of the Year in Marcus Marshall, who
broke Blake Ahearn’s MSU freshman scoring standard with 368 points
in 2012-13. Marshall was the top-scoring freshman in the MVC and also
landed a spot on the league’s prestigious All-Newcomer Team. The squad’s
lone senior Anthony Downing was named All-MVC honorable mention,
while Nathan Scheer earned a spot on the MVC All-Bench Team and MVC
Scholar-Athlete first team. Christian Kirk was also a postseason honoree
with MVC Scholar-Athlete second-team distinction.
The Bears’ “Super Six” freshman combined for 855 points (25.9 points
per game), which accounted for 43.5 percent of the team’s scoring total.
The MSU cubs were 18th nationally in freshman scoring percentage, 22nd
in total points and 26th in points per game while combining to start 78
games in 2012-13.
The busiest road schedule in school history saw the Bears log 21,373
miles of ground and air miles that included a summer tour of Costa Rica
and Thanksgiving trip to Puerto Vallarta Mexico. After a couple of lastsecond defeats in the Puerto Vallarta event, the Bears started the MVC
schedule with a 3-1 record, including a 70-59 home win over rival Southern Illinois. MSU finished strong too, going 3-3 down the stretch to earn the
No. 7 seed for the Valley Tournament and finish 7-11 in league games (6-3
at home).
In his debut season at Missouri State in 2011-12, Lusk guided the
Bears to a share of third place in the Missouri Valley Conference, tied a
school record for most road wins and finished 16-16 overall with arguably
the toughest non-conference schedule in the program’s history.
Close calls and tight finishes became the team’s calling card in 2011-12
with five overtime games and 17 games decided by single digits. MSU’s
12 single-digit losses were the most in the MVC and program’s most since
2002.
Lusk’s inaugural campaign was also highlighted by a 4-0 start that
included one-sided road wins at Nevada and Arkansas State. The Bears
began league play with a 12-point win at No. 19 Creighton, the team’s first
Top 25 win since 2008 and first-ever road win over a ranked opponent.
The Bears came within an eyelash of beating Big East power West Virginia
in the Las Vegas Classic and also had No. 18 Creighton on the ropes in
the final seconds of a home game at JQH Arena on Jan. 18 in two potential
season-changing decisions.
Juco transfer Anthony Downing went on to earn a spot on the 2012 MVC
All-Newcomer Team, and Michael Bizoukas, a one-year senior transfer from
DePaul, led The Valley in assists and assist-to-turnover ratio. The team’s
six returning lettermen were also widely publicized in 2011-12 as senior
Kyle Weems closed out his career as the program’s No. 2 career scorer
while earning All-MVC first team honors and becoming a finalist for the Lou
Henson Mid-Major National Player of the Year Award. Fellow senior Caleb
Patterson was honored with MVC Most-Improved Team honors, and the
team placed two veteran players -- Isaiah Rhine and Nathan Scheer -- on
the MVC Scholar-Athlete second team. Between, Downing, Jarmar Gulley
and Bizoukas, the Bears claimed MVC Newcomer of the Week honors eight
times, the second-highest total by one school in league history.
The 43-year-old coach came to Missouri State after seven seasons as
an assistant coach at Purdue. When Cuonzo Martin accepted the MSU job
in 2008, Lusk was promoted to Boilermakers’ associate head coach under
Purdue’s top man, Matt Painter, a position he held until coming to MSU.
Lusk was named by FoxSports.com as one of the nation’s top 25 highmajor assistant coaches in the summer of 2010. In April 2011, Lusk was
inducted into the Illinois Basketball Hall of Fame. After his first year at
MSU, CollegeSportsMadness.com named Lusk its 2012 MVC coach of
the year after taking the Bears from a predicted sixth-place finish to tie for
third.
During his tenure on the Purdue coaching staff, Lusk helped guide the
Boilermakers to five consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances with a
collective 129-45 ledger during that span. He first came to West Lafayette
in 2004-05 as an assistant under then-coach Gene Keady and stayed on
board at Purdue when Painter took the coaching reigns in 2005-06.
Before moving to Purdue, he spent one season on Painter’s staff at
Southern Illinois in 2003-04, a campaign that also culminated in an NCAA
Tournament berth, a No. 15 national ranking and a 25-5 overall record.
Prior to that, he spent one season as head coach at (Division III) University of Dubuque in Iowa. His head coaching debut came on the heels
of three seasons at Division II Missouri Southern State in Joplin where he
was an assistant under coach Robert Corn. The Lions were 71-21 in that
span (1999-2002) with an NCAA Tournament appearance in 1999-2000.
His coaching career started with a one-year stint as an assistant at Southwestern Illinois College in Belleville where coach Jay Harrington’s Blue
Storm finished 19-12.
The native of New Baden, Ill., began his playing career at Iowa in 1990
where he spent two years before he found a home at SIU under coach Rich
Herrin. He helped guide the Salukis to three straight NCAA Tournament
trips (1993-95), earning All-MVC second-team honors in 1994 with a 15.2
scoring average as a junior. As a senior, he earned a spot on the Valley
Scholar-Athlete and All-Tournament teams and finished his career with
1,666 points.
He went on to play professionally both in the United States and Argentina and earned two different invitations to the Phoenix Suns’ training camp.
A 1995 graduate of SIU-Carbondale, Lusk and his wife Melanie have a
daughter, Maddie, and a son, Jack. The couple both earned their Masters
of Science in Education from Missouri State in December 2000.
