Southern Illinois University welcomed home one of its all-time greats, naming Bryan Mullins as the school’s 14th men’s basketball head coach on March 20, 2019.

Mullins, 32, is a member of the Saluki Hall of Fame, in recognition of a four-year career (2006-09) in which he set the school record for assists and steals and was the point guard for two NCAA Tournament teams (2006, 2007) and an NIT squad (2008). Southern Illinois advanced to the Sweet 16 in 2007, won a school-record 29 games and finished the season at a school-best No. 11 national ranking.

“I visited with Bryan fairly early in the search process and he has everything you want in a coach,” said then-SIU Director of Athletics Jerry Kill. “His interview blew me away. When I walked out of there, it was easy to go to the next round of people, because he set the standard of what they had to be, and I couldn’t find anyone better, and I went all over the country.”

After graduating from SIU in 2009, Mullins embarked upon a four-year professional career in France. He retired in 2013 and joined Porter Moser’s staff at Loyola as the director of operations. Mullins ascended to assistant coach in 2015 and associate head coach in 2018, helping the Ramblers during their historic 2018 season in which the team won a school-record 32 games, advanced to the Final Four and finished the season with a No. 7 national ranking.

“I am so happy for Bryan to get this opportunity to lead his alma mater,” Moser said. “I am so grateful for his friendship and loyalty working side-by-side with him for the last six years. He is a tireless worker in addition to being a first-class person and is a perfect fit to lead Southern Illinois University.”

Loyola won back-to-back Missouri Valley Conference championships in 2018 and 2019, and Mullins was a key factor in the program’s success, recruiting All-Conference players such as Cameron Krutwig and 2019 MVC Player of the Year Marques Townes.

“Bryan’s won at everything he’s ever done,” said Kill. “There’s no doubt in my mind he’s the right fit. Our teams will play hard and be tough.”

Mullins was a two-time MVC Defensive Player of the Year at Southern Illinois and earned MVC All-Defensive Team recognition in each of his four seasons with the Salukis. As a freshman, the 6-foot-

2 guard led the MVC and ranked seventh in the nation in steals (2.85 spg) and was named to the MVC’s All-Newcomer and All-Defensive teams.

“Bryan was one of the greatest players in Saluki history and created so many great memories for Saluki fans during his playing career,” said two-time MVC Coach of the Year Chris Lowery, who coached Mullins all four seasons at SIU. “Now, I’m looking forward to him making those memories from the sideline.”

Off the court, Mullins graduated from Southern with a degree in finance and a perfect 4.0 cumulative grade-point average. He was a three-time All-Missouri Valley Conference Scholar-Athlete Team pick and won the 2009 MVC Scholar-Athlete of the Year Award. A two-time Academic All-American, Mullins won the MVC’s Dr. Charlotte West Scholar-Athlete award and President’s Council Academic award.

“Bryan Mullins is the embodiment of every positive quality we need to lead Saluki Basketball,” said former Saluki associate head coach Rodney Watson and current head coach at Southern Indiana. “This is a brilliant hire and great day for Saluki Nation. Congratulations Bryan, we are excited to watch your teams compete for championships.”

Bryan Mullins is one of nine head coaches in Division I basketball who has played in a Sweet Sixteen and coached in a Final Four.

x With Cook and Dembele out for the season, SIU officially will not play any games during the 2019-20 season with a healthy roster.

x Ronnis Suggs Jr., Karrington Davis, Aaron Cook, Stevan Jeremic, Will Keller and Dembele have all missed multiple games with injuries, and Eric McGill missed the MVC opener with the flu.

DOMASK AMONG NATION’S BEST FRESHMEN

x SIU freshman forward Marcus Domask has been one of the top freshmen in the nation. He is averaging 14.7 points (on 51% shooting), 5.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game. He is on pace to become the second MVC freshman in the last 27 years to average at least 14 points, 5 rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game.

x Domask is one of only five freshmen in the nation averaging at least 14 points, 5 rebounds and 2.5 assists. He is the only freshman meeting those numbers and also shooting 50% or better from the field.

x Domask scored 28 points at Drake, the most by an MVC freshman since 2016 (Bradley’s Darrell Brown scored 34 vs. Hofstra), and the most for an MVC freshman in a league game since 2014 (Loyola’s Milton Doyle scored 28 twice in MVC play that year).

x Domask went 8-for-8 from the field and 5-for-5 from the 3-point line during a 21-point first half in SIU’s win over Valpo (Jan. 7).

x Domask was named Wisconsin’s Mr. Basketball in 2019.

x Domask will become the seventh player in SIU history to average in double figures as a freshman. Kevin Dillard (2008-09) is the only SIU freshman to accomplish that since Kent Williams (1999-00).

season overview x SIU is in its 106th season of basketball. The 2019-20 Salukis have two returning starters and 11 newcomers (including redshirt freshman Sekou Dembele). SIU’s 11 newcomers are tied for fifth most in the nation.

x OUTSIDE EXPECTATIONS: The Salukis, which lost six seniors to graduation, were picked last in the preseason Missouri Valley Conference poll of head coaches, sports information directors and media. SIU was picked last for the first time since 2012-13.

x WHAT WAS LOST: The Salukis lost three starters who earned All-MVC recognition last year: Armon Fletcher (All-MVC second team), Kavion Pippen (All-MVC third team and All-Defensive team) and Sean Lloyd, Jr. (MVC All-Defensive team).

x Fletcher and Lloyd were both career 1,000-point scorers at SIU.

x Pippen, the nephew of Scottie Pippen, averaged 12.4 points on 55.5% shooting over two seasons at SIU. He was briefly signed by the Golden State Warriors during the preseason.

x All three are playing professionally now: Pippen is in the G-League and both Fletcher and Lloyd are playing professionally in Europe.

NEWCOMERSSIU has 11 newcomers in 2019-20 (including redshirt freshman Sekou Dembele), which is tied for fifth-most in the nation.

x The Salukis graduated six seniors from last year’s team. In addition to the three playing professionally, SIU lost Marcus Bartley (career 37.7% 3-point shooter), Thik Bol (107 career blocks in 62 games), and Rudy Stradnieks (247 career points).

x QUICK SEASON RECAP: After starting the season 2-0, SIU lost 7 of its next nine games to fall to 4-7. The Salukis are 10-3 since.

x Injuries have played a major factor in the season. Aaron Cook, a three-year starter, broke his hand against Murray State (Nov. 19) and is out for the rest of the season. Sekou Dembele (broken leg) is also out for the season. Ronnie Suggs, Stevan Jeremic, Will Keller, and Karrington Davis have all missed multiple games with injuries. At times, SIU has played with as few as eight scholarship players.

x SIU has thrived at home, going 10-1, but SIU started the year 0-7 in true road games before winning three-straight road games during its six-game winning streak (at Illinois State, Drake and Evansville).

x Only two of SIU’s first 19 games were decided by 7 points or fewer, and SIU lost both games. Then, SIU won six-straight MVC games, and five of those were decided by 7 points or fewer.

WINNERS x One theme across the players that Mullins has brought into the program: winners.

x Trent Brown (back-to-back), Marcus Domask, Karrington Davis, and Ben Harvey all won state championships in high school.

x Ronnie Suggs, Lance Jones, and Harwin Francois all led their high school teams to state Final Fours or state championship games.

x Barret Benson, as a freshman, helped Northwestern make the NCAA Tournament for the first and only time in that program’s history.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? x SB | HW - SIU is wearing a patch on its jerseys this year that is two sets of initials, honoring Harvey Welch and Seymour Bryson, who passed away within days of each other in 2019.

x Bryson earned three degrees from SIU, set a school record with 1,244 career rebounds from 1955-59 (a record that still stands), and went on to become the first African-American associate dean of a college and the second African-American dean.

Lowery was the point guard on the 1993 and 94 NCAA Tournament teams.

NEW LOOK x SIU unveiled a new logo on February 28, 2019 at a private ceremony. The logo is SIU’s first logo redesign since 2001.

x In December 2019, SIU’s new logo was rated the Best New Logo of 2019 by SportsLogos, including all new college and professional logos.

x “The Saluki is unique throughout collegiate athletics,” said SIU’s then-Director of Athletics Jerry Kill. “Our goal with the new logo was to retain the original look and feel of the Saluki, while giving it a sleeker, modern feel. There are exciting changes happening within Saluki Athletics and Southern Illinois University as a whole, and the new logo is symbolic of the progress we intend to make.”

Walt Frazier — The Rest of the Story Most people know that Southern’s most famous basketball alum is Walt Frazier (1964-67). What they don’t know is the story of how the Atlanta native ended up in Carbondale. Basketball was Frazier’s second-best sport in high school. He was offered a scholarship to play quarterback at Georgia Tech, but he didn’t want to play football. Frazier went on a recruiting visit to SIU in 1963 and met with AD Donald Boydston, who was progressive about recruiting minorities during a time when southern schools rarely recruited them. According to Boydston, Frazier didn’t say one word the whole trip, but called shortly after he took the train back to Atlanta to say he was enrolling at SIU. Frazier was dismissed from the team for academic issues after his sophomore year. He went back to Atlanta and got a job doing manual labor. Frazier called in August of 1965 and asked if he could come back. He was not eligible for a scholarship, so he paid his own way and sat out his junior year, making the Dean’s List. He played on the practice team, and sometimes they would beat the varsity. The 1966-67 storybook season saw Frazier lead the team to the NIT National Championship, beating Marquette in the finals. He turned pro after the season and was named one of the 50 greatest basketball players of all-time by the NBA in 1996.

About Southern Illinois University Carbondale is located in the southern tip of the state — about a five-hour drive south of Chicago and two hours southeast of St. Louis...Many of SIU’s alums are concentrated in those two cities... Since moving to Division I in 1968, SIU has been to the NCAA Tournament 10 times, including Sweet 16 appearances in 1977, 2002 and 2007. The Salukis have made nine NIT appearances.
