G a m e N o t e s / Q u i c k F a c t sFast Break• The Beavers received two votes in the Feb. 28 NABC DII Coaches’ National Poll. The second time in program history and the most votes the program has ever received. • It took the Beavers 10 games to reach the 80 point plateau until doing it in four consecu-tive games Dec. 16-Jan. 7. BSU is 6-1 when scoring 80 or more points this season and 15-3 when scoring 70 or more. • Scoring a lot isn’t an issue, as the Beavers have the third best scoring defense in the NSIC, allowing just 66.9 points per contest.• BSU is 17-2 when leading at halftime and 19-2 when tied or having the advantage at half this season. It’s losses coming from to then-No. 17 Winona State Dec. 9 and then-No. 21 St. Cloud State Jan. 13. • The Beavers are 7-0 after a loss this season and have a 14-6 record when winning the previous game in 2011-12.• BSU has outrebounded its opponent 14 times this season and owns a 12-2 record when doing so. Last season the Beavers went 11-4 - all their wins - when bringing down more rebounds than their opponent.• The Beavers have taken care of the ball this season. With an average of 10.3 turnovers per game the team leads the NSIC and ranks No. 1 in the nation.• The Beavers have shot 50 percent or better in nine of the last 13 games and are 13-0 this season when shooting above 50 percent. • Senior James Ellisor leads the league and ranks No. 3 in the nation with 22.5 points per game.

That is mostly in thanks to senior Bryce Tesdahl, who leads the league with a 2.93 ratio that also sits 7th in the nation. Tesdahl is the league’s leader in assists per game with 6.1 (11th nationally). He is already the program’s assist leader and has 548 career helpers. • As a team the Beavers are shooting 38.9 percent from beyond the arc to rank third in the conference and No. 24 in the nation. In conference games only the Beavers have a 39.4 percentage from downtown to sit second. • The Beavers are 10-3 on Saturday’s in 2011-12. • Head coach Matt Bowen has started seven different combinations of five this season. The line-up of Tesdahl, junior Dermaine Crockrell, junior Lance Rongstad, Ellisor and junior Mason Walters is 10-4.

N o t e s / B S U R e c o r d W h e n . . . • BSU and WSC have met once in the NSIC playoffs. The Wildcats won a 2001 first round contest in Wayne, Neb. 73-67 in a contest between the No. 3 and No. 6 seeds.

NSIC Preseason Poll: For the first time since 2006, the Bemidji State University men’s basketball team is ranked in the top eight in the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference Preseason Coaches’ Poll. The Beavers were tabbed seventh (82 points) Oct. 26 in the 2011-12 edition of the coaches’ tally after finishing last season in a three-way tie for 10th in the final regular-season rankings with a 11-15 overall and 8-14 conference record.

BSU’s Player to Watch: Senior James Ellisor averaged 17.3 points and 7.0 rebounds per game and shot 57.9 percent from the field in 2010-11 to earn Second-Team All-NSIC honors. He led the NSIC in field goal percentage, while ranking in the top 10 in steals (4th, 1.6 spg), blocks (T6th, 0.9 bpg), scoring (7th) and rebounding (9th). He started 25 of 26 games for BSU and posted ten 20-plus scoring games and recorded double-figures in all but two contests. Nationally, Ellisor ranked 32nd in field goal percentage.

Welcome to the Northern Minnesota: The Beavers boast four players from Arizona and one from California on the 2011-12 roster. Seniors James Ellisor (Glendale, Ariz.) and Ryan Kinnell (Yuma, Ariz.) are in their second season at BSU, while it marks the first for junior transfers Dermaine Crockrell (Mesa, Ariz.) and Jason Edwards (Phoenix, Ariz.) and freshman Dillon Floyd (Palm Springs, Calif.). 5-1 Start: The Beavers started the season 5-1, the best since the 1997-98 team went 5-1 to open the campaign. BSU was also on a five-game winning streak (Nov. 12-26) to match its longest run under head coach Matt Bowen (Feb. 12-24, 2010). The 10-3 record through 13 games was the best since the 1973-74 squad posted an 11-2 record through 13.

Fastest to 10: The Beavers found their 10th win on their 13th contest this season. Only 11 teams in BSU program history (88 seasons) have reached 10 wins in 13 games or faster. The last team to reach 10 wins in 13 games or less was the 1973-74 team (12 games).

G a m e A c c o m p l i s h m e n t s / N o t e sThanks for the Charity: Last season, the Beavers finished as the No. 2 team nationally in Division II in free throw percentage (Final NCAA Statistics Summary), shooting 78.9 percent from the charity stripe. This season’s edition struggled from the line in the opening two games of the season, shooting just 55.6 percent. Since then BSU has improved its percentage and now owns a 74.9 mark from the line this season (430-of-574) to sit No. 24 nationally. The Beavers own a 77.3 percentage from the charity stripe in NSIC games to rank second in the league.

Gotta Win the Close Ones: In a league as competitive as the NSIC, winning the close games are crucial to separate the non-playoff teams from the postseason contenders. Last season, the Beavers were 3-7 in games decided by five points or less. In 2011-12, BSU is 2-1 in games decided by five points or less and 8-2 in games by 10 or less.

Helping Hand: With a dish to Patrick Cassidy in the opening minutes of the 87-82 loss to No. 15 Minnesota State Jan. 21, 2011, senior Bryce Tesdahl became the school’s career assist leader (1976-present). The assist was the 315th of his career, surpassing David Lee (1984-88). He finished first in the league and No. 9 in the nation in assists (6.0 apg) last season. He had four 10+ assist games. His 156 assists last year finished second on BSU’s top season assists chart. This season his 6.1 assists per game is first in the NSIC and 11th in the nation. He posted a career-high 12 assists against Concordia-St. Paul Jan. 14 and matched it Feb. 10 against Minnesota, Crookston. He posted 10 Jan. 21 against SMSU. He has nine-career 10+ assist games.

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 sixth season at the helm after spending 15 years as an assistant coach at the Division I level. The Beavers finished the 2010-11 season with a 11-15 overall and 8-14 Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference record to finish in a three-way tie for 10th and just a game out of eighth. BSU started the season 3-1, but spent most of the season trying to find a rhythm. The Beavers hovered around .500 until dropping seven straight games Jan. 14 - Feb. 5. Four of those losses came by a five point or less margin. BSU finished the season on a high note, winning four of the last six games, including a 60-58 victory at Winona State to defeat the Warriors for the second consecutive season on their home court. Close games proved to be the difference maker for the Beavers as they closed the campaign with a 3-7 record in games decided by five points or less. Newcomer James Ellisor made an immediate impact by averaging 17.3 points, 7.0 rebounds and a league leading 57.9 field goal percentage to earn Second-Team All-NSIC honors. Bryce Tesdahl continued to dish out assists and became the program’s assist leader. Bowen has molded his team into opportunistic shooters from the free throw line, as the squad closed the season second in the nation in free throw percentage with a 78.9 percent mark from the charity stripe. Bowen earned his first double-digit win season in 2009-10 as the Beavers went 12-15 overall and 8-12 in the NSIC, 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. Bowen saw his first four-year player graduate at the end of the 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. 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 conclu-sion 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 came 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 university, 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, summer 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. Basketball 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. native 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 nine-year-old daughter McKenzi and a four-year-old daughter Addison.
