The Indiana State Head CoachIndiana State head coach Greg Lansing (South Dakota, 1990) is 120-108 (.526) overall in his eighth season as a head coach. He is 65-61 all-time in MVC games, including a 45-18 mark at home and a 20-43 record on the road. During his career, he is 71-28 in all home games, 33-61 on the road, 16-19 in neutral court contests and 39-27 in games decided by five points or less. With the Trees, Lansing is 10-10 in overtime games and 80-9 when holding teams to 63 points or less. Against Marian, Lansing is 0-0 all-time, including an 0-0 mark inside Hulman Center. He is 11-1 all-time in exhibition games, including a perfect mark of 11-0 at home in preseason games. Lansing led the Sycamores to the postseason in each of his first four sea-sons at the helm (2011 NCAA, 2012 CIT, 2013 & 2014 NIT). Lansing is the second head coach to lead the Sycamores to the NCAA Tournament in their rookie campaign in the history of the program, with the other being Bill Hodges leading ISU to a 33-1 record and a Final Four appearance in the 1979 NCAA Tournament. Lansing was just the 14th rookie head coach in the history of the MVC to lead his team to 20 victories during their debut season. Lansing holds the school record for most victories over a nationally-ranked team (five) in the history of the program. Lansing is currently tied for fifth on the Indiana State all-time coaching vic-tories list with 120 and needs one more to tie Gordon Stauffer for fourth.

A Little HistoryIndiana State begins its 122nd season of college basketball at the school. The Sycamores are 1,467-1,275 all-time on the hardwood.

Sycamores Play For Hurricane Relief At PurdueIndiana State played a rare road exhibition contest at Purdue on October 28 for hurricane relief in Texas, Florida and Puerto Rico.

Jordan Barnes led the way with 15 points while Brenton Scott added 12 of his own. Fresh-man Tyreke Key added eight points off the bench and led the way on the boards with seven rebounds. The Sycamores despite giving up a height advantage to Purdue only trailed in the rebounding battle by a 41-35 margin.

Brenton Scott Named To Missouri Valley Conference Preseason First TeamIndiana State junior Brenton Scott was named Missouri Valley Conference Preseason First Team one year after taking home All-Missouri Valley Conference Third Team honors. He was the Valley’s Freshman of the Year in 2015. Scott finished the regular season ranked second in



the league with a 15.9 ppg average and was 16th with 5.0 rebounds per game. His 1.6 steals per game ranked in a tie for fourth while his 2.3 3-pointers per game was tied for the most in the league. Scott averaged 4.7 defensive rebounds per game to rank in a tie for seventh-best in the MVC this season. In league play, Scott’s 13.3 ppg was good enough for 10th in the league while his 1.4 steals per game was fifth. He averaged 2.2 3-pointers per game to rank tied for fourth while his 4.4 defensive rebounds per game was ranked 11th. He scored 25 points and hit the final free throw with 1.5 seconds remaining to down No. 15 Butler inside Hulman Center.

Jordan Barnes Picks Up Missouri Valley Conference All-Freshman HonorJordan Barnes was named to the MVC All-Freshman team after averaging 6.5 points and 2.5 rebounds per game. He hit 41 3-pointers during the year and was 36-of-40 from the free throw line (90 percent). He added 61 assists and 17 steals in 30 games of action. Barnes saw his first collegiate action and made quite the debut by scoring 14 points as he hit a pair of 3-pointers and went a perfect 6-of-6 from the free throw line (including a mark of 4-of-4 in the final minute of regulation) to help the Sycamores come back from seven down with 37 seconds left and force overtime at Northern Illinois. He sparked a second half comeback with 11 points, six assists and five rebounds in the double-overtime victory over Eastern Illinois. Barnes scored a career-high 20 points as he hit five 3-pointers in the home win over Bradley. He hit a trio of free throws in the final seconds at Evansville which forced a late tie in that contest.

Coach Lansing Climbing The Leaderboard In Career Victories & MVC VictoriesIndiana State eighth-year head coach Greg Lansing continues to climb the Indiana State all-time victories list as he earned win No. 120 against Northern Iowa on February 22, 2017. He is currently tied with John Longfellow for the fifth-most victories all-time as the Sycamores head coach (Although John Longfellow did begin the 1954-55 season as coach and earned two victories, the NCAA awarded all of that season’s results to Paul Wolf ). With each of his next two additional victories, Lansing will move up one spot on the ISU coaching wins list. His next victory will be No. 121 and will tie with Gordon Stauffer for fourth place on the career coaching victories list. He needs four more to catch Royce Waltman for second at 124 and the school record is held by Duane Klueh who owns 182 career victories. Lansing also now owns 65 victories in Missouri Valley Conference play which is just four off the school record of 69 held by Indiana State’s second all-time winningest head coach Royce Waltman (1997-2007). Lansing has led the Sycamores to the MVC Championship Game twice in his tenure.

Indiana State With A Pair Of Top 10 Career Scorers In Their Respective High School StatesA pair of Indiana State freshmen in Tyreke Key and Cooper Neese enter the collegiate por-tion of their careers having reached the Top 10 in career scoring in both of their respective home states. Key finished his career at Clay County High School in Celina, Tenn., with 3,287 points scored which is 10th most in the history of the state of Tennessee. As a senior, he set the Tennessee High School record for most points scored in a season, breaking a 25-year old record held previously by Kentucky legend Tony Delk. Cooper Neese, who will sit out the 2017-18 season serving his year-in-residence as a transfer, enters his Indiana State career hav-ing scored 2,496 career points at nearby Cloverdale High School which is seventh-best in the Indiana High School Basketball history.

Sycamores Tally School Record Fifth Victory Over Nationally-Ranked Team Under Lan-singIndiana State ended a skid of nine losses to nationally-ranked teams when No. 15/16 Butler fell inside Hulman Center on December 7 by the score of 72-71. Coach Lansing has led the Sycamores to a school-record five victories against nationally-ranked teams during his time at the helm of the program. He passed Bill Hodges (head coach of the Dream Team in 1978-79) and Royce Waltman (head coach of the Sycamores during back-to-back NCAA Tourney trips in 2000 & 2001) for the most in program history with the win over Butler. It was just the second victory for the Sycamores under Lansing at home against a nationally-ranked team and the first overall since a win at No. 21 Notre Dame in 2013.

Sycamore Success Inside Hulman Center Under Greg LansingThe Sycamores are 71-28 (.717) inside Hulman Center under seventh-year head coach Greg Lansing. The Sycamores have won 61 of their last 85 home games. Additionally, the Syca-mores have won 45 of their last 63 MVC games at home. The longest stretch of current success against a league member is eight wins in a row at home against Bradley after last season’s 81-71 victory over the Braves.

63 Is The Magic NumberThe Sycamores win by the score of 69-59 on February 22 against Northern Iowa was ISU’s sixth last season in which they held an opponent to 63 points or less and earned the victory. Under eighth-year head coach Greg Lansing, the Sycamores are 80-9 when allowing less than 63 points to the opposition (including a 18-0 mark when holding teams to 53 or less).

Good Starter On The BatteryIndiana State’s starting five outscored the opposition’s top five three times last season and earned the win. Under eighth-year head coach Greg Lansing, the Sycamores are 73-23 when the ISU starting five scores more than their opponent’s starters after doing so in the win over Drake on February 11.

MVC OVERALL

The Last Time Out ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- Indiana State and Purdue teamed up for a greater cause on Saturday in front of an enthusiastic crowd inside Mackey Arena as they played an exhibition contest to aid in hurricane relief in Texas, Florida and Puerto Rico. Purdue took a 94-72 victory in the game. All net proceeds from the exhibition will benefit the Greater Houston Community Founda-tion and the UNIDOS Disaster Relief & Recovery Program to support Puerto Rico. The entire Sycamore staff wore purple shirts during the game in honor of Darrell Ragland, father of former Sycamore assistant coach David Ragland, who passed away earlier this week after a lengthy battle with pancreatic cancer. Jordan Barnes led the way for the Sycamores with 15 points while Brenton Scott added 12 of his own. Tyreke Key added eight points and led the way with seven rebounds. The Sycamores hit 28-of-69 shots from the field to finish with a 41 percent shooting percent-age. Purdue owned a 41-35 edge in the rebounding battle. Jordan Barnes put the ball through the hoop first for the Sycamores to cut into an early deficit as he drained a 3-pointer as ISU trailed 4-3 after a pair of early Isaac Haas jumpers. The Syca-mores trailed 26-14 as the clock ticked towards the nine minute mark before Barnes hit his third 3-pointer of the first half and followed with a driving layup to cut the Boilermaker lead down to 26-19 with 8:59 to go. The Sycamores gave up a jumper but scored the next six points on a run capped by a put back from Qiydar Davis to get within 28-25 with 6:50 to go. Purdue responded to the Sycamore run with eight of the game’s next 10 points and held a 36-27 lead with just under five minutes to go in the half. The Purdue lead ballooned back up to 11 points at 38-27 before Tyreke Key drove into the lane and hit a lay-up plus the foul with 3:32 to go before halftime which got the Sycamores within 38-29. Key converted the charity toss to cut the deficit down to just eight points. After a pair of missed free throws for the Boilers, Brandon Murphy scored inside the Purdue lead was down to 38-32 as the clock went under the three minute mark. ISU then traded one made free throw for a Devin Thomas lay-up to get within 39-34. Murphy scored inside again with just over one minute left to cut the Boiler lead down to 41-36. Indiana State was able to take advantage of a pair of missed Purdue free throws in the final seconds, but when fouled Barnes hit his to send the Sycamores into the locker room trailing just 41-38. Barnes led the Sycamores with 13 first half points while Tyreke Key and Qiydar Davis led the way with four rebounds. Brenton Scott answered an early second half score for Purdue and then Murphy poured in a wide open dunk just over two minutes into the second half as the Boilers led 45-42. Purdue answered with game’s next 12 points to extend their cushion out to 57-42 before Indiana State’s Qiydar Davis hit a free throw with 14:55 on the clock to trim the edge down to 57-43. The next field goal came from Devin Thomas as the clock ticked towards the 14 minute mark but with Purdue owning a 17-point lead. Brenton Scott hit his first 3-pointer of the game at the 13:22 mark to get the Trees with 12 points. Scott connected on his second trifecta of the second half with 9:52 remaining but Purdue maintained a 69-55 lead. Key continued a strong second half for the young freshman as he bounced home a jumper as the clock ticked towards the six minute mark to get the Sycamores within 76-60. Daniel Huenermann tal-lied a bucket with just over three minutes remaining to make it 82-64 in favor of the Boilers. Clayton Hughes got on the scoreboard with a tri-ple as the clock went under the two minute mark for his first bucket of the contest. Huenermann tacked on a 3-pointer and Hughes hit a floater in the lane in the final moments but it was Purdue that earned the 94-72 victory. Purdue was led by 16 points from Carsen Edwards and Dakota Mathias.



Greg Lansing is in his eighth season as the head basketball coach at Indiana State. He previously spent another eight seasons with the program as an assistant coach, including three as associate head coach. Lansing (South Dakota, 1990) is 120-108 (.526) at the helm of the Sycamore basketball program. He owns a mark of 65-61 in MVC games, including a 45-18 record

at home. During his career, he is 71-28 in all home games with 33 road victories to his credit and is 39-27 in games decided by five points or less. Lansing is 8-6 in the MVC Tournament, with four of those victories coming as the lower seeded team. Indiana State’s game at Iowa in the 2014 NIT was Lansing’s 100th as Indiana State head coach. His 120 career victories rank tied for fifth on ISU’s all-time win list. He is the second head coach to lead the Sycamores to the NCAA Tournament in their rookie campaign in the history of the program, with the other being Bill Hodges who led ISU to a 33-1 record and a Final Four appearance in the 1979 NCAA Tournament. Lansing was just the 14th rookie head coach in the history of the MVC to lead his team to 20 victories during their debut season. Under Lansing, the Sycamores have earned a school record five victories over nationally-ranked teams as he passed Bill Hodges and Royce Waltman for the most in program history with a thrilling 72-71 win over No. 15 Butler in December of 2016. ISU won at No. 14 Wichita State (in 2013) -- its best-victory over a nationally-ranked team on the road since 1999 and downed No. 13 Creighton (2013) at home, the highest ranked team to fall to Indiana State inside Hulman Center since joining the MVC. The Sycamores also have won at Vanderbilt (2012) and Notre Dame (2013) under Lansing while those opponents were ranked in the Top 25. With a 23-win campaign in 2013-14, the Sycamores reached the 17-victory mark for the fifth consecutive season and notched five consecutive winning seasons for the first time in over 40 years under Lansing’s leadership. Lansing’s 65 career Missouri Valley Conference victories rank second in program history to Royce Walt-man’s school record of 69. Over the last seven years, the Sycamores’ 65 league victories are third most among the current membership. In 2014-15, the Sycamores entered the season with a roster that featured seven newcomers. Despite a slow start in non-conference play, Lansing led the Sycamores to an 11-7 mark in the Missouri Valley Confer-ence and earned the No. 3 seed at Arch Madness. Indiana State has earned at least the No. 3 seed at the conference tournament in three seasons during Lansing’s tenure. In 2015-16, Devonte Brown and Brenton Scott were each named to the All-MVC Second Team while Everett Clemons took a spot on the MVC All-Newcomer squad. Brandon Murphy was selected as a Missouri Valley Conference Scholar-Athlete. The Sycamores advanced to the MVC Tournament semifinals for the fourth time under Lansing with a win over Illinois State as the sixth seed. Lansing was inducted into the Iowa High School Basketball Hall of Fame in March of 2016. He and his father Dave are just the 10th father/son combination to be inducted into that Hall of Fame. He saw several Sycamores earn postseason recognition from the league office in 2015. Devonte Brown was named the league’s Most Improved Player and was tabbed to the All-MVC Second Team. Brenton Scott picked up the program’s third-ever MVC Freshman of the Year honor while Tre’ Bennett was selected to the All-Bench Team. Justin Gant and Jake Kitchell were each First Team selections as MVC Scholar-Athletes. In 2012-13, Indiana State finished 18-15 and advanced to the semifinals of the MVC Tournament on the strength of a 51-50 victory over Evansville. In 2013-14, the Sycamores finished with a 23-11 mark and reached their second MVC Tournament Championship game under Lansing. The Sycamores played in the National Invitation Tournament (NIT) in 2013 & 2014 and reached the postseason five consecutive seasons, including in each of the first four years with Lansing at the helm. In 2013-14, the Sycamores finished in the Top 5 nationally for most true road victories with nine. Included in that total was a road victory over nationally-ranked Notre Dame, giving the program at least one victory over a nationally-ranked opponent in each of Lansing’s first four seasons as head coach. Jake Odum was a repeat selection on the All-MVC First Team and became the first player in the history of the Missouri Valley Conference to record at least 500 career assists and 500 career made free throws. Odum finished as the school’s record holder for career free throws made and attempted. He also wrapped up his career as the school’s fifth all-time leading scorer and was in the Top 4 in both assists and steals. Odum also was named to the NABC All-District Team and was a Mid-Major All-American for the second consecutive season. Khristian Smith earned his second consecutive nod on the MVC All-Bench Team and was selected as the league’s Sixth Man Of The Year. Manny Arop added an honorable mention all-conference selection while Justin Gant and Lucas Eitel were each named to the MVC Scholar-Athlete Team.

Indiana State’s three victories over the RPI Top 50 were tied for the most of any one in the Missouri Valley Confer-ence in 2012-13. Creighton, the league’s tournament and regular season champion also owned three. Indiana State owned a victory in the Diamond Head Classic against ACC Champion Miami and also took down Ole Miss to finish third in the event while Jake Odum was named to the All-Tournament Team. Odum also became the first Sycamore to appear on the All-Missouri Valley Conference First Team since 2001 and just the sixth all-time. Freshman Khristian Smith was a member of the MVC All-Bench Team while Lucas Eitel and Justin Gant were named Second Team MVC Scholar-Athletes. Addition-ally, Odum was named to the 2013 Lou Henson All-America Team as well as the 2013 NABC All-District 16 First Team. The Sycamores are 71-28 (.717) inside Hulman Center under Lansing. Additionally, the Sycamores are 74-9 with Lansing as head coach when allowing less than 63 points to the opposition (including a 17-0 mark when holding teams to 53 or less). Indiana State did not allow a made 3-pointer at Illinois State on January 23, 2013 as the Redbirds went 0-for-13 from long range on their home court and snapped a string of over 400 games with one which dated back to 1999. It marked the second time during the 2012-13 season that the Sycamores did not allow a trey in a game as nationally-ranked Miami went 0-of-15 on December 25, 2012 in the consolation game of the Diamond Head Classic. In 2011-12, the Sycamores finished the year with an 18-15 record and advanced to the CollegeInsiders.com Postsea-son Tournament. Jake Odum was one of just four players nationally to average at least 10 points, five rebounds and 4.5 assists per game during his sophomore season and was a Second Team All-Missouri Valley Conference selection as well as Second Team All-District selection as announced by the National Association of Basketball Coaches. The Sycamores downed No. 25 nationally-ranked Vanderbilt on the road and finished third at the Old Spice Classic -- the best-ever finish by a MVC team in the event. Lansing burst onto the scene as a rookie head coach with the Sycamore basketball program in 2010-11 as he became just the second-ever Indiana State head coach to lead the team to the NCAA Tournament in his first season. He led the team to a 20-14 record, becoming just the 14th head coach in the history of the Missouri Valley Conference to lead a team to 20 or more victories in their first year at the helm. ISU reached the NCAA Tournament and took on Syracuse in Cleveland, Ohio based on the program’s third-ever MVC Tournament Championship won at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis, Mo. ISU raced to the title with victories over No. 6 Evansville, No. 2 Wichita State and No. 1 Missouri State in the Championship Game as the Sycamores entered as the No. 3 seed in the tournament. Freshman Jake Odum was named to the MVC All-Tournament Team. Odum was named a CollegeInsider.com Mid Major Fresh-man All-American and was named an All-MVC Honorable Mention selection as well as a member of the MVC All-Freshman, All-Newcomer and All-Defense Team. Carl Richard was also named to the All-MVC’s Honorable Mention squad. ISU took two thrilling buzzer beating victories over league foes Missouri State and Creighton during the regular season at Hulman Center. The buzzer beater over Creighton by Richard was voted the No. 2 play of the weekend by ESPN’s SportsCenter. In 2009-10 the Sycamores overcame a ton of adversity to still put together its best season in nearly a decade under the professional leadership of the ISU coaching staff. Despite only having its full complement of student-athletes for just 28 minutes of the rough and tumble Missouri Valley Con-ference slate, the Sycamores still recorded its first winning season since 2001 as they finished 17-15. ISU also finished the year with a 9-9 record in league play, bolstering the Syca-mores out of the MVC Opening Round at the State Farm Mis-souri Valley Conference Tournament by securing the league’s No. 6 seed after finishing in a tie for fifth in the standings.

Starting guard Jake Kelly suffered a season ending knee injury with 12 minutes left in the confer-ence opener at Southern Illinois and subsequently also lost Dwayne Lathan and Harry Marshall for extended periods over the course of the year. Marshall, who was the heart and soul of the team, led the MVC in scoring in league contests with a 16.0 ppg average. Marshall was tabbed Second Team All-MVC and was named to the MVC’s All-Defensive Team after turning in shutdown performances against most of the league’s all-conference opposition. Running a well-rounded program, the Sycamores also two representatives on the MVC’s Scholar Athlete Team as both Jordan Printy and Aaron Carter took those plaudits. The payoff for the Sycamores continued as ISU reached postseason play for the first since 2001 when they accepted a bid to the 2010 College Basketball Invitational, appearing in a road contest at Saint Louis. Lansing has been a key recruiter for many talented student-athletes. Lansing has also been a major part of the several all-conference accolades for several players, including Harry Marshall and Jay Tunnell, who took All-MVC honors following the 2008-09 campaign. During each year of Lansing’s tenure, the Sycamores have participated in the Coaches Vs. Cancer Suits and Sneakers Challenge. For each of the last three years, Lansing has led a successful challenge to the state’s lawmakers to wear sneakers with their suits during that same time frame as part of the program to promote cancer awareness. Through an invitation from State Representative Bob Heaton, who played for ISU on the 1978-79 team which advanced to the NCAA Final Four, ISU head coach Greg Lansing has visited the State House leaders to participate in the challenge. Lansing returned to Indiana State after a seven-year stint with the Iowa Hawkeyes. During Lansing’s seven years as assistant coach at Iowa, the Hawkeye’s went 135-92, received three NCAA Tourna-ment invitations, three NIT appearances and won a pair of Big Ten tournament titles, the first of which came on four wins in four games making Iowa the first team in the Big Ten to accomplish such a feat. In 2005-06, Iowa earned a 25-9 record, the second-most wins in school history, the first undefeated (17-0) home record in the school’s history and a No. 3 seed in the NCAA Tournament. Iowa earned seven All-Big Ten selections, 17 Academic All-Big Ten selections and four Academic All-Americans. Lansing coached four of the last five Big Ten rebounding champions, three straight conference leaders in blocked shots and, the league’s 2005-06 defensive player of the year. Three of his student-athletes reached the NBA and two from the 2005-06 team were invited to NBA camps. In Lansing’s final two seasons of his first stint at Indiana State, the Sycamores posted back-to-back winning campaigns for the first time since 1979 and 1980. When the Sycamores posted a 16-11 record in 1998 it marked the first winning season for Indiana State since 1980. Indiana State advanced to the NCAA Tournament in both 2000 and 2001. Prior to joining the staff at Indiana State, Lansing was the head basketball coach at Roosevelt High School in Des Moines, Iowa. Roosevelt had not had a winning season in 12 years before Lansing’s initial season. The Roughriders went on to have back-to-back winning seasons under Greg’s direction. Lansing earned a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of South Dakota in 1990 and a master’s degree in counseling from USD in 1992.
