34 head coach Paul Paul Lusk is in his sixth season as Missouri State’s sideline boss. The former MVC standout player continues to build up a proud Bears’ basketball program and looks to return it to prominence in the league he grew up in. In his five seasons on the Springfield campus, Lusk has coached eight MVC Scholar-Athlete Team selections, four All-MVC players, four Lusk All-Freshman Team picks, three members of the MVC All-Newcomer Team and two members of The Valley Most-Improved Team. distinction, and super sophomore Chris Kendrix nearly doubled his scor- In 2015-16, junior Dequon Miller became the fifth Missouri State ing output from his freshman season to earn Valley Most-Improved Team player to earn MVC Newcomer of the Year laurels, highlighting a season honors. in which the squad’s rookies stole the spotlight. Freshman standouts The young Bears spent much of Lusk’s fifth season battling through Obediah Church and Jarred Dixon both earned MVC All-Freshman Team injuries and adversity with returning starters Dorrian Williams and Austin Ruder combining to miss 39 games on the injured reserve. However, the Bears showed tremendous resolve, collecting a clutch road win at Oklahoma State, defeating NCAA Tournament sweetheart Northern Iowa at home, and reeling off three straight Valley road wins in the month of January. MSU also finished the season strong, winning four of its last five at home and battling No. 2 seed Evansville to the wire in the second round of the MVC Tournament in St. Louis. In 2014-15, the Bears managed an 8-6 record at JQH Arena to com- plete the club’s 44th straight season with a winning record at home. The Bears also finished in the top 100 of all Division I programs in home attendance for the 30th straight season. Postseason honors in Lusk’s fourth year included a pair of MVC Scholar-Athlete performers with first- team pick Austin Ruder and second-team selection Tyler McCullough -- both sophomores -- setting the pace. Williams was also named to the MVC Most-Improved Team by league beat writers. Lusk led the Bears to their first 20-win season and postseason appear- ance of his tenure in 2013-14 with MSU’s trip to the Valley Tournament semifinals since 2011 and a CIT first-round appearance.

35 After his third season in Springfield, 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 parlayed that experience into manufacturing the eighth-best turn- around in the NCAA Division I ranks. MSU improved by a +9.0 margin in the span of a year, the third-best improve- ment in MSU history as well. 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, 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. The 2013-14 squad ended its 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. rival Southern Illinois.
