Season Preview

Page 8: 2015-16 UW-Stevens Point Men's Basketball Media Guide

STEVENS POINT, Wis. – The UW-Stevens Point men’s basketball team hopes a team with new faces and players in new roles will take the mold of last season’s team that won the program’s fourth national championship. A year ago, a group of four seniors led a UW-Stevens Point team built on defense and a balanced offensive attack to a national championship after a 70-54 victory over Augustana (Ill.) in Salem, Va. The Pointers raced through their six NCAA Tournament wins, four of which came on their home court, winning by an average of 18.5 points per game. “Last year, I think we overachieved given there were no expectations,” said reigning National Coach of the Year Bob Semling. “That team did more down the stretch in six games than perhaps any team we’ve had. There were no expectations that that team could do something like that, yet they did.”

The title run was led by graduated seniors Austin Ryf, Joe Ritchay, Jordan Lutz and Alex Richard, who combined to score 69.2 percent of UW-Stevens Point’s points a year ago. Each of the four were either All-WIAC or Honorable Mention All-WIAC selections. “They made their mark on this program,” Semling said of the quartet. “Nobody will ever be able to take anything away from what those four men achieved in their careers, winning three conference championships, making the NCAA Tournament all four years and winning a national title their senior year.” Despite the loss of last season’s four seniors, UW-Stevens Point returns two key contributors from a year ago in seniors Stephen Pelkofer and Sean McGann. Pelkofer was an Honorable Mention All-WIAC pick last year after averaging 11.6 points a game and is a D3hoops.com Third Team Preseason All-American. McGann was the first man off the bench last year and averaged 6.6 points and 4.0 rebounds a game.

“They’ve both worked extremely hard and they’re both better players because of what they’ve done in the offseason,” Semling said of the senior duo. “They’re excited about the opportunity to take ownership of this team.” Pelkofer and McGann are among nine returning letterwinners on the UWSP roster. The pair are joined by fellow senior Bill Patterson, a four-player junior class of Aaron Retzlaff, Brad Freeborn, Caden Untiedt and Jared Gjertson and sophomores Luke Zuiker

and Zack Goedeke. “We always start with that next class,” Semling said when asked about players to step up this season. “The junior class is the hardest-working group we’ve had because we’ve asked them to do more than anybody else in their freshman and sophomore years. We’ve seen it a lot with players that the junior season is when the big jump takes place.” “Luke and Zack have enough talent and ability to help us, so we’re working hard with those guys and we’re hoping the can get into the mix,” Semling added of his sophomore class. UW-Stevens Point also added a six-man freshman class to the roster this season of Ethan Bublitz, Drew Fredrickson, Chaz Mootz, Mark Nelson, Canon O’Heron and Brett Tauber. While it is too early to tell how the freshmen will fit into the mix, Semling is excited about the potential of the group.

Page 9: 2015-16 UW-Stevens Point Men's Basketball Media Guide

“On paper, the freshman class is a special class and they all have great credentials,” Semling commented. “We’ve challenged them to learn our system and understand what it takes to make the transition to college and to be competitive in practice. We’d love for a couple of those guys to step in and help us right away but it’s difficult for freshmen.” After seeing his team lead the nation in scoring defense (54.6 ppg) and have five players average in double figures in scoring last season, Semling is hoping this season’s team can adopt a similar style. “I hope that we will continue to be a team with four or five guys in double figures and that we’re a very unselfish team,” he said. “Defensively, it’s a process and it’ll take a full year but I hope we continue each week to mature into an outstanding team on defense.” While the Pointers aim to be playing their best at the end of the season

like a year ago, UW-Stevens Point will be challenged early in the season by one of the toughest schedules in the country. UW-Stevens Point plays six teams that made the NCAA Tournament last season, including national runner-up and preseason No. 1 Augustana (Ill.), and its non-conference opponents combined for a .679 winning percentage in 2014-15. “It’s a schedule that shows that we have a lot of faith in our guys,” Semling said of the rigorous schedule. “It will help this team grow up in a hurry and will help us prepare for the WIAC and the postseason. That’s what it’s all about, so that we can make a run down the stretch in February and into postseason play.” After a strong end to last season, UW-Stevens Point is ranked No. 9 in the D3hoops.com preseason poll and is the preseason pick to win the WIAC. Now with a target on their backs, the Pointers are simply focused on getting back to work.

“Our guys have been really good over the years at embracing our achievements but then understanding that you have to get back to work,” Semling said of being the defending national champions. “You have to understand that your opponents are going to be even more inspired to beat you and you can’t feel like we’re better than someone because we won a national title. It’s just the opposite. You have to work harder and earn respect all over again the next year.”

Bob Semling

Head Coach

11th Season

Bob Semling enters his 11th season at UW-Stevens Point in 2015-16 and has won four national championships with the Pointers. In 10 seasons at UW-Stevens Point, Semling has led the Pointers to two NCAA Division III national championships (2010, 2015), in addition to being an assistant on the back-to-back national championship teams of 2004 and 2005.

Through his first 10 seasons as head coach, Semling has compiled an overall record of 242-54, which includes a 134-26 mark in Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WIAC) play. His .818 career winning percentage is the highest among active NCAA Division III coaches. On January 11, 2014, Semling became the all-time winningest coach in UW-Stevens Point program history by recording his 201st career victory at UW-Superior.

In 2015, Semling was named the National Coach of the Year by the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC), D3hoops.com and Schelde Sports/DIII News. He also earned NABC and D3hoops.com Coach of the Year honors in 2010. Semling is a five-time WIAC Coach of the Year and has received the award in each of the last three seasons.

Under Semling’s direction, the Pointers have finished as the consensus No. 1 team in the country after both national championships. The Pointers appeared in the top 10 of the D3hoops.com poll for 42 straight weeks from 2007-2011 and were in the top 25 for 90 straight polls until the end of the 2011-12 regular season. UW-Stevens Point ranked in the top five in 10 of the 14 polls conducted in 2009-10 and was ranked in the top five throughout the 2013-14 season, including a stretch of 11 straight weeks as the top-ranked team in the country.

In addition to the national titles and conference accolades, the Pointers have achieved some amazing statistical feats under Semling. In 2015, UW-Stevens Point led the nation in scoring defense (54.6 ppg), leading the team to the national title. UWSP led all NCAA Division III teams in both free-throw percentage and fewest turnovers per game in two of Semling’s first three seasons. UWSP set an NCAA Division III record in 2006-07 by shooting 82.3 percent from the line, and led the country the previous season at 79.2 percent.

UWSP was the only school among 1,187 NCAA and NAIA programs to shoot better than 80.1 percent at the free-throw line in 2006-07. The Pointers also averaged just 10.2 turnovers per game in 2007-08 (third in the nation) and

committed just 8.5 turnovers per game the previous season. UWSP also had a NCAA Division III best 1.54 assist-to-turnover ratio.

Having served as an assistant coach with the Pointers’ back-to-back NCAA Division III championship teams in 2003-04 and 2004-05, Semling took over the reins from Jack Bennett in 2005-06 and guided a relatively fresh group of players back near the top of the WIAC standings with a third-place league finish and 17-10 overall record.

Semling is actually in his second stint with the Pointers’ coaching staff, sandwiching both tenures around eight years at the Division I level. Semling was an assistant coach at UWSP under Bob Parker from 1988-95. During that span, the Pointers posted a 127-63 record, including a 27-2 mark in 1991-92. The Pointers won two conference championships in Semling’s first tenure and the team made two NAIA national tournament appearances.

Semling then spent seven seasons as an assistant coach at UW-Green Bay and one year as the Director of Basketball Operations at New Mexico before returning to UWSP for the 2003-04 season. While at UW-Green Bay, Semling helped the Phoenix to a Mid-Continent Conference title and NCAA Tournament appearance in his first season.

A Merrill native, Semling was a three-year starter at quarterback at UW-Eau Claire from 1977-79. As a student at UWEC, he assisted with Ken Anderson and the men’s basketball team, making NAIA Final Four appearances in each of his final two seasons.

Semling then spent one season as an assistant at Park Falls High School and assisted former Pointers’ coach Jack Bennett for two seasons at Wisconsin Rapids Lincoln High School, reaching the state tournament with both schools. Semling was the head coach at Wausau West High School for three seasons from 1985-88, winning back-to-back regional championships in his final two seasons prior to coming to UWSP.

He and his wife, Kathy, have three children, Jenna, Kreg and Lauryn.

UW-Stevens Point has established itself as one of the premier programs in the nation, winning its fourth national championship in 12 seasons with a 70-54 win over Augustana (Ill.) in 2015. The Pointers won the first four games of their NCAA Tournament run on their home court and improved to 8-0 all-time in Salem, Va. Senior guard Austin Ryf was named the Final Four’s Most Outstanding Player.

UW-Stevens Point captured its first national title as Jason Kalsow drained a jumper in the final seconds of the title game to beat Williams (Mass.) 84-82 in 2004. In the sectional final, Eric Maus hit a jumper to send the Pointers to the final four in a an 82-81 overtime win over Lawrence in the sectional final.

No last-second heroics were needed the following year as the Pointers used a dominating second half to dismantle Rochester (N.Y.) 73-49 in the largest victory margin in a championship game. Overall, the Pointers outscored their five NCAA tournament opponents in 2004-05 by a tournament-record 21.0 points per game. UW-Stevens Point finished 29-3 and won 26 games by double figures that season.

In 2010, the Pointers showed what it meant to keep fighting, overcoming a 10-point deficit with a 22-5 run late in the second half to secure the program’s third walnut and bronze trophy with a 78-72 victory over Williams (Mass.) in 2010. Senior guard Matt Moses was named the Final Four’s Most Outstanding Player.

UW-Stevens Point has claimed 29 Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference championships, which is the most of any school in one of the nation’s most storied small-college basketball leagues.

The Pointers also made seven trips to the NAIA national tournament in Kansas City, finishing runner-up in 1984. Their 28-9 NCAA tournament record is also the best postseason winning percentage of any Division III school. Two of those losses came in the sectional final on three-pointers at the buzzer that stopped the team one game short of the final four.

In addition to the all the team success has come plenty of individual accolades. The most well-known former Pointer is Terry Porter, who was a first round draft choice by the Portland Trail Blazers in 1985, spent 17 years in the NBA and later coached the Milwaukee Bucks, the Phoenix Suns and is now with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Tim Naegeli was a four-time all-conference selection and a sixth-round draft choice of the Boston Celtics in 1987, while Jon Julius was a conference player of the year as the Pointers won another conference title in 1992.

Brant Bailey was a first-team All-American and conference player of the year before competing professionally in Europe after ending his playing career in 2000.

Most recently, Kalsow was a two-time first-team All-American and was the NABCA National Player of the Year in 2005, while Nick Bennett was also an All-American that same season. Kalsow finished his career as the school’s all-time leading scorer and rebounder while starting every game for four seasons.

Former head coach Jack Bennett won 200 games and led the Pointers to both national titles in just nine seasons. His brother, Dick, won 173 games during his career from 1976-85 and followed legendary coaches Bob Krueger, Hale Quandt and Eddie Kotal. Bob Parker arrived in 1987 and won 158 games and two conference titles in an eight-year career. Bob Semling took over the program in 2005 and became UW-Stevens Point’s all-time leader in coaching wins with his 201st career victory on Jan. 11, 2014. He now has a career record of 242-54 and his .818 career winning percentage leads all active Division III coaches.

Bennett Court at Quandt Fieldhouse

Opened in 1971, Bennett Court at Quandt Fieldhouse serves as the exclusive home to for the Pointer men’s basketball team and owns one of the largest seating capacities of any facility in Central Wisconsin with 2,787 seats. The site of the annual Sentry Classic holiday basketball tournament, Quandt Fieldhouse has hosted NCAA Division III men’s basketball sectional tournaments in 2005, 2007 and 2010, women’s basketball sectional tournaments in 1987 and 2004 and is the 2014 home of the NCAA Division III Women’s Basketball Final Four.

The facility also hosted the NCAA Division III wrestling championships in 1994. It is the site of numerous concerts and community events, including the university’s graduation ceremony. The fieldhouse is named for Hale Quandt, who coached football, men’s basketball and baseball from 1947-62.

On February 7, 2009 the court at Quandt Fieldhouse was named after former Pointers coaches Dick and Jack Bennett. Included in the naming was a complete resurface of the court and a renovation of the front lobby.

Dick Bennett started his college coaching career at UW-Stevens Point

in 1976 and spent nine seasons at the helm of the Pointer men’s basketball team, compiling 173 wins. In his final three seasons (1982-85), he guided the team to a 79-13 record. He was named NAIA Coach of the Year after the 1983-84 season, leading the team to a 22-3 mark and a national runner-up finish. Dick went on to take UW-Green Bay to two NCAA Division I tournament appearances and led UW-Madison to an NCAA Final Four appearance in 2000.

Jack Bennett’s coaching career spanned 34 years throughout Wisconsin high school and collegiate basketball. Bennett coached seven years at Rhinelander High School prior to replacing Bob Parker at UW-Stevens Point in 1996-97. In nine seasons at UW-Stevens Point, he led the Pointers to five Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference titles, five NCAA tournament appearances and two national championships en route to becoming the school’s all-time winningest coach with a 200-56 record.

Since 1997, Quandt Fieldhouse has proven to be a real home court advantage. The Pointers have posted an astonishing 245-35 record through the 2014-15 season.

Former Pointer Terry Porter enjoyed a stellar 17-year playing career in the NBA after being selected in the first round (No. 24 overall) of the 1985 NBA draft by the Portland Trail Blazers. A two-time NBA all-star, Porter served as head coach of the Milwaukee Bucks for two years shortly after retiring as a player. Through 1,274 career games, Porter averaged 12.2 points, 5.6 assists, and 1.24 steals per contest, while shooting 46.3 percent from the field, 38.6 percent from three-point range and 83.6 percent from the free throw line.

During his stay in Portland, the Trail Blazers achieved plenty of success, making it to the NBA Finals on two separate occasions (1989-90, 1991-92), in which Porter’s contributions went unmeasured as a starting point guard. Only once in his 17 NBA seasons did his team fail to make the postseason.

He averaged 17.7 points and 9.5 assists per game through the 1989-90 season. During the 1991-92 campaign, Porter amassed per game averages of 17.0 points and 8.0 assists. He holds the NBA Finals single-game record for the most free throws made with none missed, hitting all 15 attempts on June 7, 1990 at Detroit. Porter was a recipient of the J. Walter Kennedy Citizenship Award in 1993 as a member of the Trail Blazers. He is Portland’s all-time assists leader with 5,319 (1985-86 through 1994-95).

Prior to the 1995-96 season, Porter signed as a free agent with the Minnesota Timberwolves, where he spent three seasons. He played for the Miami Heat during the 1998-99 campaign before signing with the Spurs for his final three NBA seasons.

Porter was named an NAIA first-team All-American as both a junior and senior at UW-Stevens Point. He averaged 16.7 points, 4.6 assists and 4.8 rebounds in 32.9 minutes, while shooting 60.1 percent from the field over his final three years after averaging just 2.8 points as a freshman. In 1984, he helped lead the Pointers to a runner-up finish at the NAIA national tournament.

Throughout his career, Porter has been active with the Boys and Girls Club and is a member of the organization’s Hall of Fame. In 1994, he created the Milwaukee Scholars Fund, which provides scholarships to minority students in Milwaukee to attend schools in the University of Wisconsin system.

Porter and his wife, Susie, have three children, Brianna, Franklin, and Malcolm. He earned a bachelor’s degree in communications from UW-Stevens Point.

A charter member of the conference, UW-Stevens Point began its 103rd season as a league member in the fall of 2013.

The conference, then known as the State Normal Conference, was organized in July 1913 with Stevens Point, Superior, River Falls and La Crosse in its Northern Division, and Oshkosh, Whitewater, Milwaukee and Platteville in the Southern Division.

From the original membership of eight, the conference increased to 10 schools. Stout Institute, now UW-Stout, joined in 1914 and the first record of membership of the then Eau Claire Normal was in 1917. These two, along with the original eight, maintained continuous membership over the years until June 1964, at which time UW-Milwaukee terminated its membership in the conference, leaving the league at its current total of nine members.

The conference, later known as the Wisconsin State University Conference, sponsored only men’s sports and existed simultaneously with the Wisconsin Women’s Intercollegiate Athletic Conference.

The WWIAC was officially organized in the spring of 1971. The original membership consisted of 12 schools (the nine current members plus Carthage College, UW-Madison and UW-Parkside) and grew to its maximum of 16 by 1975 with the addition of UW-Milwaukee, Carroll College, UW-Green Bay and Marquette University. All members were at one time affiliated with the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women, and the Midwest Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women.

On July 1, 1997, the nine members of the former Wisconsin State University Conference and the Wisconsin Women’s Intercollegiate Athletic Conference were joined together to form a single conference-The Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference.
