About Minnesota State: The Mavericks are No. 15 in the nation, owning a 13-2 overall and 9-2 NSIC record, good for first in the league standings. Senior Jefferson Mason leads the team in scoring with 18.5 points per game that also sits third in the conference. He is also bringing down a team-best 7.5 rebounds per game. Senior Marcus Hill is averaging 16.1 points and 4.5 assists per game. Minnesota State was on a six-game win-ning streak before falling to University of Mary 84-69 Jan. 15.

Series History: The Beavers are 33-61 all-time against Minnesota State and are winless in the last 21 contests, dating back to Jan. 18, 1969 in Mankato, Minn. when BSU won by the score of 62-56. The then-No. 5 Mavericks downed BSU 105-66 last season at Bresnan Arena.

About Southwest Minnesota State: The Mustangs are 6-9 overall and 3-8 in conference play to hold the 12th spot in the league standings. SMSU has lost its last four games and are 1-8 in the last nine, but tout a 5-1 home record this season. Sophomore Jordan Miller is averaging 15.5 points per game to lead the team. Senior Scott Roehl owns 14.9 points and a team-high 9.5 rebounds per game.

Series History: The Beavers are 33-50 all-time against the Mustangs and are 0-7 in the last seven meetings. Last season in Marshall, SMSU downed BSU 71-67.

NSIC Preseason Poll: The Bemidji State University men’s basketball team finished last season winners in five of its last six games, en route to a 12-15 overall and 8-12 Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference mark, good for 11th place in the final conference standings. The 12 wins was the most under fifth-year head coach Matt Bowen, as BSU has increased its win total in each of his seasons at the helm. On Oct. 20, the 2010-11 edition of the NSIC Preseason Coaches’ Poll was released, slotting the Beavers 10th with 64 points.

BSU’s NSIC Preseason Player to Watch: Patrick Cassidy is the lone senior on a team that sports four juniors (two transfers), eight sopho-mores and four freshmen. He will be asked to provide leadership on and off the court, while concentrating on being consistent offensively and de-fensively. Last season Cassidy played and started in 26 games, averag-ing 26.3 minutes per contest. He posted 8.4 points and 3.8 rebounds per game, while shooting 51.2 percent from the field. Cassidy has endured the growing pains of a Bemidji State basketball program that has improved its record in each of the last four seasons, going 12-15 last season. He has played in 80 games in the green in white, averaging 7.1 points and 4.1 rebounds per game, while shooting 48.1 percent from the field.

Making Strides: Head coach Matt Bowen has increased BSU’s win total every season over his past four years. The Beavers won five games in his first campaign, six in his second, eight in 2008-09 and 12 last season. In 2009-10, the eight NSIC victories the Beavers totalled was the most con-ference wins under Bowen.

Beavers’ 2010-11 record When...Helping Hand: Last season Tesdahl finished second in the NSIC in assists, averaging 5.1 assists per game. He totaled 137 assists in the season, finishing third on BSU’s all-time single-season chart. This sea-son he is first in the league and 6th in the nation in assists and cur-rently, his 314 career assists ranks tied for first on BSU’s career list (1976-present). He has two 10 assist games this season, marking his third-and-forth-career games with 10 or more helpers, ranking tied for ninth on the BSU single-game chart.

BSU’s Top Career Assist Totals (1976-Present)# Assists Player Seasons1. 314 David Lee 1984-88 314 Bryce Tesdahl 2008-SA

Thanks for the Charity: The Beavers are the No. 5 team in the Division II nation in free throw percentage (as of the Jan. 16 NCAA Statistics Summary), shooting 78.3 percent from the charity stripe. Sophomore Lance Rongstad’s 90.0 percent guides the team and is 15th in the nation.

Battle for the Boards: In all seven of BSU’s wins this season it has outrebounded its opponent and owns a 7-1 record when doing so. But one category the Beavers are lost in this season is the offensive glass. BSU is getting outrebounded 177-128 in offensive rebounds, resulting in a difference of 163-136 in second chance points.

Stay Inside the Arc: In conference play, the Beavers are second in the league in field goal percentage, making 46.8 percent of their shots. On the other side of the 3-point line the same BSU squad is 8th, shooting 34.2 percent from beyond the arc. The Beavers were last in the 3-point shooting category two weeks ago, but have since gone 43 percent (34-of-79) from beyond the arc. In the league rankings, junior James Ellisor is 3rd (58.6%) and senior Patrick Cassidy is 5th (55.7%).

Road Warriors: BSU is 4-4 on the road this season. The last time the Beavers finished the season with an above .500 record on the road was when the 2003-04 team went 9-6 away from the BSU Gymnasium. The Beavers are outscoring their opponent on the road 82.1-79.4 in 2010-11.

Avoid the Losing Streak: Last season the Beavers went on a seven game losing streak from Dec. 13-Jan. 15, thwarting their chances at a playoff spot and resulting in a 4-10 record when losing the game before. This season, BSU has been able to stop the bleeding by owning a 5-2 record when losing the previous contest.

Bemidji State men’S BaSketBall

Since taking his post as head men’s basketball coach at Bemidji State in 2006, Matt Bowen has led the Beaver program to improvements both on and off the court. Becoming the 19th head men’s basketball coach at BSU June 30, 2006, Bowen now enters his fifth season at the helm after spending 15 years as an assistant coach at the Division I level. Under his guidance the Beavers have made strides in each season, guiding the squad to a 12-15 overall and 8-12 Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference record last season, finishing 11th in the conference. BSU had its ups and downs during the 2009-10 campaign, hanging its hat on sweeping Winona State University for the first time since 2003-04. WSU was ranked No. 17 nationally in the first meeting in Winona where the Beavers needed overtime, then at the BSU Gymnasium, BSU prevailed in a nail-bitter 88-86. The Beavers started 5-3, their best eight-game start since the 1997-98 season. After starting strong the youth and short bench slowed BSU and it lost seven straight and were 2-11 from Dec. 13 - Feb. 6. The Beavers found a rhythm at the end of the season, closing the campaign winning five of six and will return nine letterwinners to the 2010-11 team. Bowen saw his first four-year player graduate last season in Seth Haake, who finished 10th in career points and career assists at BSU, leading the team off the court as a two-time NSIC Academic All-Conference team member. Current junior Bryce Tesdahl had one of the best performances in the green and white at the point guard position, finishing fourth in the school’s season assists charts with 137, while leading the team in rebounds and finishing 28th in the nation in free throw percentage. Tesdahl wasn’t the only one hitting from the charity stripe as the squad finished fifth nationally in free throw percentage. Academically, BSU closed the 2009-10 season with a team GPA of 3.03. In 2008-09, BSU went 8-19 overall and 6-14 in the NSIC, finishing tied for 10th. Bowen guided his team to a 6-21 overall record and a 3-15 record in the NSIC for a ninth place finish in 2007-08 and was 5-23 overall and 5-13 in the NSIC in 2006-07. Bowen inherited a 2005-06 team that went 15-13 overall and 9-5 in the NSIC that was dismantled at the conclusion of the season, carrying over just three players. In the process of rebuilding there are bumps along the road, but the Beavers are moving in the right direction, defeating back-to-back nationally ranked opponents during a four-game winning streak in 2008-09 (Jan. 6-16). BSU beat No. 24 St. Cloud State University at home, 69-66, and then traveled to No. 11 Northern State University and won a two overtime thriller 100-93. In the process of rebuilding, Bowen and his staff have recruited and brought in some of the best talent from around the state of Minnesota to help put the pieces of the BSU men’s basketball program back together. Bowen comes to BSU after spending the past 15 years molding his coaching style after some of NCAA Division I men’s basketball’s greatest coaching legends. He was a student manager for Bob Knight at Indiana University and served as an assistant coach under both Gene Bartow at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and most recently, Homer Drew at Valparaiso University. Bowen’s trio of mentors have combined for nearly 2,100 career wins and 105 years of head coaching experience. During his four years under Drew at Valpo, Bowen helped to lead the Crusaders to an overall record of 70-52 (.574) with a 41-21 (.661) mark versus Mid-Continent Conference competition. In 2003, his first season at the uni-versity, the team was 20-11 overall and 12-2 in the league as it grabbed the front end of back-to-back conference titles. The Valpo men capped the year off with a trip to the National Invitational Tournament (NIT). The following season, the Crusaders went 18-13 overall with an 11-5 mark versus the league to earn their second league crown and a berth into the NCAA Tournament. In addition to game day and practice duties, Bowen was responsible for organizing all recruiting efforts, sum-mer youth camps, game preparation and scouting and being the team’s academic coordinator. As a recruiter, Bowen was responsible for signing the No. 1 incoming class in the Mid-Continent Conference and one of the Top-100 nationally according to the 2006 HoopScoop and Dave Telep recruiting publications. Bowen’s ties to the Midwest, specifically Minnesota, were evident in the class as it was headlined by Mr. Basket-ball Minnesota Finalist and Tartan High School graduate Urule Igbavboa. Bowen began his collegiate coaching ventures in 1995 when he was hired as an assistant coach at Alabama-Birmingham. In seven seasons at UAB, the Blazers captured a Conference USA National Division Championship (1999), went to the NCAA Tournament (1999) and were twice invited to participate in the NIT (1997, 1998). The River Falls, Wis. is the son of long-time NCAA Division III head men’s basketball coach at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls. Bowen has been around basketball all of his life, but he first acquired a taste of his own for collegiate basketball as the student manager for Knight’s Indiana Hoosiers (1990-1995). While serving under coach Knight, Bowen was a part of two Big Ten titles (1991, 1993) and four NCAA Tournament appearances, twice advancing to the Elite Eight (1992-1993) and earning a spot in the Final Four in 1992. He joins a long list of former Indiana managers who have gone on to make a name for themselves in coaching, most notably former New Jersey Nets Head Coach Lawrence Frank, a manager at IU from 1989 to 1992. While at Indiana, Bowen also worked directly with George David, now the Director of Player Personnel for the Detroit Pistons and Ryan Carr, Director of Scouting for the Indiana Pacers. In addition, Bowen’s father, Rick, got his feet wet as a Hoosier student manager under Branch McCracken in the 1960s. Bowen is a 1995 graduate of Indiana with a Bachelor of Science degree in Health, Physical Education and Recreation (HPER). He picked up a Master of Arts degree in education during his time at UAB, graduating in 1999. Bowen and his wife Ashli have a eight-year-old daughter McKenzi and a three-year-old daughter Addison.
