PREVIEWING ST. JOHN'SUnder Basketball Hall of Famer Chris Mullen, St. John's is 2-0 on the season following wins over New Orleans (77-61)

and Central Connecticut (80-55) heading into Thursday's Gavitt Games matchup with the Huskers. Mullen is in his third seasonatSt.John'safteradecoratedcollegiateandprofessionalcareer,ashewasthe1985NationalPlayeroftheYearbefore playing for the Golden State Warriors and Indiana Pacers. After winning just eight games in his first season, Mullen's team won 14 games a year ago and is picked to finish sixth in the Big East preseason poll after returning four starters.

The strength of the Red Storm is in the backcourt, as they feature a pair of preseason All-Big East performers in Shamorie Ponds and Marcus LoVett. Ponds averaged 17.4 points per game to rank fifth in the Big East in scoring as a true freshman.TheBrooklyn,N.Y.nativesettheschoolscoringrecordwith573pointslastyear,including753-pointers,whilealso pacing the Big East with 2.1 steals per game. Sophomore Marcus LoVett was also in the top-10 of the Big East in scoring last year at 15.9 points per game and ranked fourth in the Big East with 3.8 assists per outing. He had 23 points and four steals in St. John's opener. Senior Bashir Ahmed also ranked among the Big East scoring leaders in 2016-17, averaging 13.4 ppg., as he started all 33 contests last year.

Thursday's contest is the first meeting between these two programs. Nebraska is 32-39 against the current members of the Big East, although 50 of the 71 meetings have been against Creighton, which joined the league in 2013-14.

LAST TIME: NEBRASKA 86, NORTH TEXAS 67James Palmer Jr. had 11 of his game-high 18 points in a

game-opening 25-2 run, as Nebraska downed North Texas, 86-67, Monday evening at Pinnacle Bank Arena.

Palmer and the Huskers took control from the opening tip, as the Huskers scored the first seven points before following up with an 18-0 run, holding North Texas without a field goal for a stretch of 8:02. Palmer had nine of NU’s first 18 points, including a pair of 3-pointers, to pace five Huskers in double figures.

Glynn Watson Jr. added 15 points and four rebounds, while Evan Taylor (12), Isaiah Roby (11) and Jack McVeigh (10) all finished in double figures, as all 14 players who dressed got into the action and 11 players broke into the scoring column.

Nebraska shot 57 percent from the field in the opening 20 minutes and led by as many as 28 points in the first half before taking a 52-30 lead into the locker room.

UNT opened by missing 16 of its first 17 shots and struggled with Nebraska’s length, as the Huskers had seven of its nine blocked shots in the opening 20 minutes and shot just 31 percent in the first half. Isaac Copeland and Duby Okeke combined for seven of the Huskers’ nine blocks on the evening.

GAVITT TIPOFF GAMESThursday's matchup is part of the Gavitt Tipoff Games, a conference matchup between the Big Ten and Big East

honoring the legacy of Dave Gavitt. The series is named in honor of the late Dave Gavitt, former athletic director at Providence College and founder of the Big East Conference. He is a member of the Basketball Hall of Fame.

Beginning in 2015 and scheduled through 2022, the Gavitt Tipoff Games will be played on four consecutive days in the first full week of the college basketball campaign. Big Ten teams will play four times in an eight-year span, while Big East teams will play six times in that eight-year span.The last two years, the series has been deadlocked at 4-4. Through Tuesday's games, the Big Ten leads, 2-0, with both

wins coming on the road.A win would even Nebraska's all-time Gavitt Games record to 1-1, as the Huskers lost at eventual national champion

Villanova during the 2015-16 campaign.

WORTH NOTINGWith a win, Nebraska would improve to 3-0 for the fourth time in six seasons (2012-13, 2013-14, 2016-17) under Tim

Miles. It would also mark the first time since 2012-13 that the Huskers won their first road game of the year. That year, NU downed Wake Forest in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge.Junior forward Isaac Copeland has faced St. John's four times when he was at Georgetown, averaging 12.0 points and

7.0 rebounds per game in those contests. In his last game against the Red Storm in 2015-16, Copeland had 23 points, eight rebounds and three assists in a 92-67 Hoya victory on Feb. 8, 2016.Thursday'stripisoneofthreetripstotheNewYorkCityareafortheHuskersin2017-18.NUwilltraveltoRutgers

on Jan. 24, while the Big Ten Tournament will take place at Madison Square Garden for the first time. The dates of that tournament are Feb. 28-March 4. A win would be NU's first in a conference challenge since a win at Florida State in the 2014 ACC/Big Ten Challenge.

ST. JOHN'S PROBABLE STARTERS

Nebraska’s 52-point first half was the most since scoring 53 vs. Southeastern Louisiana on Nov. 22, 2015. It marked just the third time under Coach Miles that the Huskers have scored 50 or more points in a first-half (Arkansas State, 2013-14). Nebraska totaled nine blocked shots, matching its highest total under Tim Miles. Isaac Copeland’s four blocked shots are a collegiate career high. He had three blocked shots three times while at Georgetown, most recently on March 3, 2015, against Butler). Nebraska had an 18-0 run in the first half, and led 25-2 in the first 8:08 of the contest. In the previous meeting in 2006-07, Nebraska raced out to an 18-2 lead and also won by 19 points.

BUILDING BLOCKSOne of the biggest differences between previous seasons and 2017-18 is the Huskers' interior size and it made a

defensive impact in the Huskers' first two games. Nebraska leads the Big Ten and ranks in the top-10 nationally in blocked shots at 9.0 blocks per game. Nebraska's 18 blocked shots was the most in the nation through Monday's games, while the 18 blocked shots

matched the most by a Nebraska team in two decades.Nebraska's nine blocked shots in each of the first two games marks two highest single-game totals at Nebraska under

Tim Miles. Previously, NU's team high in blocked shots was seven. Isaiah Roby's six blocks against Eastern Illinois was the most by a Husker since the 2005-06 season. In fact, no Husker

had totaled five or more blocked shots since the 2011-12 campaign. In the win against North Texas, Isaac Copeland established his personal best with four blocked shots while Duby

Okeke added three blocks off the bench.

WATSON LEADS HUSKER ATTACKGlynn Watson Jr. may be one of the most underrated guards in the

Big Ten Conference. Last year, the 6-foot junior averaged 13.0 points, 2.6 assists and 1.6 steals per game in 2016-17. He is ninth among all Big Ten returnees in scoring and third in steals.

This season, Watson comes into the St. John's game averaging 18.0 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game. He opened the season with a game-high 21 points and three assists in the 72-68 win over Eastern Illinois. It was his eighth career 20-point effort. On Monday, Watson had 15 points in NU's rout of North Texas. With 732 points entering Thursday's game, Watson is just 14 points away from 60th place on Nebraska's career scoring

list. He is on pace to be NU's 29th 1,000-point scorer and fourth in Tim Miles' six seasons. Watson’s 13.0 points per game was the second-highest returning average by a Husker guard in the last decade,

trailing only All-Big Ten performer Terran Petteway’s 18.1 ppg entering the 2014-15 season. Watson had 21 double-figure performances as a sophomore, including a career-high 34 points in a double-OT win over

Iowa. His 34-point effort tied for 10th on NU's single-game scoring list, while his seven 3-pointers was the second-highest single-game total in school history.Last season, he had three games with five steals (vs. Dayton, Clemson and at Indiana) and finished third all-time among

Husker sophomores with 50 steals. Only Cookie Belcher (75) and Erick Strickland (60) had more as sophomores.Watson has always been in the clutch, as he shot 40 percent from 3-point range, 85 percent from the foul line and had a

3-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio in the last four minutes and OT last season. In the opener, Watson went 5-of-6 from the foul line in the last four minutes, including four straight in the final 11 seconds to preserve the win.

COPELAND, PALMER TRANSFER INTO HUSKER STARTERSWhile Watson is a two-year starter for the Huskers,

junior transfer Isaac Copeland is the Husker with the most starting experience. Copeland started 49 games in two-plus seasons at Georgetown, helping the Hoyas to the 2015 NCAA Tournament. In his last full season in 2015-16, Copeland started 33 games, averaging 11.1 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game. He played in seven games last season before he was sidelined with an injury.

This season, Copeland is averaging 8.0 points per game, but is third on the team in rebounding (6.5 rpg) and second in blocked shots (2.5 bpg). Against North Texas, Copeland led NU in both rebounding (eight) and blocked shots (four).

James Palmer Jr. has quickly made his mark in his first season of action at Nebraska, averaging 15.0 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game. He had a game-high 18 points, including 11 points in NU's game-opening 25-2 run, against North Texas. Palmer has been in double figures in both games this season and gives NU a physical presence on the wing.

Palmer played at the University of Miami for two seasons, averaging 3.4 points in the Hurricanes' Sweet 16 team in 2016. Palmer and Copeland will look to join a list of all-conference performers in their first season under Miles, joining Andy Ogide (CSU, 2009), Terran Petteway (NU, 2014) and Andrew White III (NU, 2016).

TRANSFERS BRING WINNING PEDIGREESOne common trait among Nebraska’s four Division I transfers is postseason experience. Isaac Copeland, Anton Gill,

James Palmer Jr., and Duby Okeke have all been parts of NCAA Tournament teams at their respective schools. Gill played on Louisville’s Elite Eight team in 2015, while Palmer helped Miami to an NCAA Sweet 16 berth in 2016.

college this winter, but it won’t be the first time the pair had played together. Both Gill and Copeland played on the Garner Road AAU program and were teammates at Ravenscroft High School, leading the school to a 31-4 record and the 2012 North Carolina 3A State Championship.

Anton’s father, Anton Sr., and Isaac’s father, Ike, played together at East Carolina for two seasons (1992-93) and the duo helped East Carolina to a 1993 Colonial Athletic Association tournament title, winning the tournament title as the No. 7 seed.

LIVING AT THE LINEOne of the axioms that Tim Miles loves to say is "Like the 3, Love the Rim"

and Nebraska has shown the ability to get to the line in its first two games. The Huskers lead the the Big Ten and rank among the NCAA leaders in getting to the foul line, averaging 42 attempts per game.

Nebraska guards Evan Taylor and James Palmer Jr. have been vital cogs in Nebraska's offensive attack. While Palmer was expected to be a focal point, Taylor's development has provided a new dimension. A 6-foot-5 senior, Taylor has gotten to the line 23 times in the Huskers' first two games after getting to the line just 37 times during his first season at Nebraska.

STRONGER ROBY EMERGES AS STAT STUFFERAfter serving as a role player, Isaiah Roby spent the summer bulking up to

prepare for the rigors of the season. Now, the 6-foot-8, 225-pound sophomore has the strength to match his skillset.He enters the St. John's game averaging 11.0 points and team-highs in both rebounds (10.0) and blocked shots (3.5) per game.Roby has reached double figures in both games after hitting double figures once as a freshman.He opened the season with the best performance of his career, an 11-point, 13-rebounds, six block performance against Eastern Illinois, as he set personal best in all three categories. Roby's six blocks were the most by a Husker in six seasons.

MCVEIGH PROVIDES A SHOT OF JACK While the Huskers return just two starters, the Huskers also return their sixth man in junior Jack McVeigh. The 6-foot-8 forward from Cabarita Beach, Australia, averaged 7.5 points per game, but has averaged 8.9 points per game on 41 percent shooting over the final 15 contests, becoming one of the Big Ten's best sixth men in the process. This season, McVeigh was held scoreless in the opener before totaling 10 points and six boards against North Texas.McVeigh posted five double-figure scoring efforts in Big Ten play in 2016-17, including four off the bench.He keyed NU's comeback at Ohio State, scoring all 11 of his points in the second half in the Huskers' 58-57 win. McVeigh tied for team-high honors with 15 points, including a half-court shot to beat the first-half buzzer, and added

three assists against Penn State.His best performance of the season came in the Huskers' win over No. 20 Purdue on Jan. 29, where he tied his career

high with 21 points, including four 3-pointers, and added two blocked shots. At Rutgers on Jan. 21, McVeigh nearly led the Huskers to victory, hitting four 3-pointers in the second half, including

three in a two-minute span to erase a deficit and put the Huskers up 64-59. McVeigh attended the Australian Institute of Sport, a program which has produced numerous NBA players, as well as

former Husker Olympian Aleks Maric.

INTERNATIONAL DUO ENJOYS BUSY SUMMERJunior Jack McVeigh (Australia) and freshman Thorir Thorbjarnarson (Iceland) spent part of the summer representing

their national teams. McVeigh helped Australia to a 6-2 record and a ninth-place finish at the World University Games in Taipei City, Taiwan.

He played in all eight games, averaging 9.4 points per game on 59 percent shooting, including 42 percent from 3-point range, along with 2.9 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game. McVeigh finished fourth on the team in both scoring and assists and tied for third in steals while posting a 5.3-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio. His Australia team was the only team to defeat gold medalist Lithuania.

Thorbjarnarson made his national team debut in 2017, representing his nation in the Small States of Europe event, as he helped Iceland to a third-place finish. He also played for the U-20 national team at the FIBA European Championships in Greece, averaging 7.1 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.7 steals per game.

MILES LETS THE KIDS PLAYTim Miles has not been afraid to rely on youth during his tenure at Nebraska. If history is any indication, freshmen

Thomas Allen, Nana Akenten and Thorir Thorbjarnarson will have chances to earn significant playing time early in their careers. In the last two seasons, NU has started at least one freshman in 31 of 36 Big Ten games (86 percent). Last year, Jordy

Tshimanga made nine starts in conference play, while Isaiah Roby started four Big Ten tilts.

Over the past five seasons, Nebraska has started at least one freshman in 64 percent of its games. First-year players at NU have flourished under Miles, as newcomers have accounted for at least 50 percent of NU’s

scoring in two of the past four seasons.Among NU's 2017-18 freshmen, Thomas Allen had six points and a pair of assists in 16 minutes off the bench in the win

over Eastern Illinois on Saturday, but landed on his tailbone on Monday. Both Akenten and Thorbjarnarson made their debut in the win over North Texas.

JORDY AND DUBY IN THE MIDDLENebraska will rely on a different look inside with the departure of two of its top three inside players. Sophomore Jordy

Tshimanga and graduate transfer Duby Okeke will handle a majority of the minutes on the interior this season. Tshimanga, who averaged 5.0 points and 4.0 rebounds per game, started nine of NU's final 11 games as a true

freshman and emerged as a pleasant surprise for the Huskers down the stretch. Averaged 7.4 points and 5.9 rebounds per game in his last 11 games and reached double figures three times, Put together his best offensive effort of the season vs. Michigan State on Feb. 2, totaling 15 points on 5-of-7

shooting and nine rebounds in 24 minutes, setting season bests in points, rebounds and minutes. Totaled 12 points on 6-of-7 shooting and grabbed seven rebounds in 17 minutes in the win over Penn State. Grabbed a season-high 10 rebounds, including five offensive boards, in just 14 minutes vs. No. 7 Wisconsin. Enjoyed a strong performance at No. 3 Kansas on Dec. 10, where he established then-season bests in points (10),

rebounds (eight) and blocked shots (two) in 19 minutes of work. Put together a solid 2017-18 debut, grabbing a career-high 11 rebounds and dishing out a pair of assists against

Eastern Illinois. He played just 10 minutes against North Texas. Okeke is a defensive presence who spent the past four years at Winthrop before graduating in May. The 6-foot-8 center

played in 94 games at Winthrop and made 24 starts last season as the Eagles reached the NCAA Tournament. He averaged 3.2 points on 61 percent shooting and 3.9 rebounds per game last season. Okeke had three blocks and three boards in 16 minutes

against North Texas. Okeke is sixth nationally among returning players in

blocked shots with 168. He finished his career as Winthrop's single season (72; 2015-16) and career leader in that category. He ranked 20th nationally and led the Big South in blocked

shots in 2015-16 and was fourth in blocked shots in 2016-17. Okeke has 27 games with at least three blocked shots in

his collegiate career entering the St. John's game.

HUSKERS ARE A BIG DRAW AT PINNACLE BANK ARENANebraska basketball has become one of the toughest

tickets in the Big Ten since the program moved into Pinnacle Bank Arena, a $179 million dollar facility in downtown Lincoln, prior to the 2013-14 season. Nebraska finished 11th nationally in attendance in 2016-

17, averaging 15,427 fans per game. It marked the fourth straight year that NU has finished in the top 15 nationally in basketball attendance. Nebraska is one of only nine programs in the country to average 15,000 fans per game in each of the past four

seasons, a list which also includes Kentucky, Syracuse, Louisville, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Indiana, Kansas and Creighton. In 2014-15, the Huskers broke their own single-season record for average attendance for the second straight year,

averaging 15,569 fans per game. Nebraska finished the 2014-15 season ranked 10th nationally in attendance, the highest Nebraska has finished in national attendance since the NCAA began its rankings in 1977-78. Nebraska has enjoyed success in Pinnacle Bank Arena, posting a 45-23 (.661) record in the building. The Big Ten led the nation in attendance for the 41st consecutive year in 2016-17 with an average of 12,235 fans per

game. Eight Big Ten teams ranked in the top 25 in attendance in 2016-17.

NOTING THE 2017-18 SCHEDULEThe Huskers have embarked on another challenging schedule in 2017-18. The 31-game regular-season schedule

includes 13 teams that reached the NCAA or NIT tournaments in 2017. The Huskers will be tested in 2017-18, as at least five opponents are ranked in the AP or Coaches preseason top-25.

NU faces No. 4/3 Kansas in non-conference action and could face No. 11/10 West Virginia at the AdvoCare Invitational. Four Big Ten teams are ranked, including No. 2 Michigan State, No. 15 Minnesota, No. 19/20 Northwestern and No. 20/21 Purdue. Three other Big Ten teams are receiving votes (Wisconsin, Maryland, Michigan), while non-conference foes UCF and Creighton are receiving votes. In addition, NU could face Missouri, which is receiving votes, in the AdvoCare Invitational. Nebraska’s game against Kansas on Dec. 16 is the first Big 12 foe to visit Lincoln since the Huskers joined the Big

Ten in 2011-12 and the first to play at Pinnacle Bank Arena. NU could also face a former Big 8/12 rival at the AdvoCare Invitational, as Missouri is part of the eight-team field. In 2017-18, the Huskers’ five “double-play” opponents are Illinois, Minnesota, Penn State, Rutgers and Wisconsin.

NU’s “single-play” home opponents are Indiana, Iowa, Maryland and Michigan, while Michigan State, Northwestern, Ohio State and Purdue are the Huskers’ “single-play” road games in Big Ten play.

BIG TEN MOVES TO 20 CONFERENCE GAMES IN 2018-19The Big Ten Conference Administrators Council approved a change to the format of future men’s basketball schedule at

its annual meeting in October of 2017. Beginning with the 2018-19 season, the men’s basketball schedule will increase to 20 conference games.

Under the new men’s format, teams will play seven opponents twice and six teams once (three home, three away) in a given season. The three in-state rivalries – Illinois/Northwestern, Indiana/Purdue and Michigan/Michigan State – will be played twice annually, while the new schedule will also include a regional component to increase the frequency of games among teams in similar areas. Over the course of a six-year cycle (12 playing opportunities), in-state rivals will play each other 12 times, regional opponents will play 10 times, and all other teams will play nine times.

2017-18 RULES CHANGESThe NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel announced several slight rule changes ahead of the 2017-18 men's basketball

season, most notably extending the coach's box to 38 feet. The coach's box in previous years was 28 feet, but NCAA Men's Basketball Rules Committee members believe this will allow coaches to improve communication with their teams, especially when the teams are at the opposite end of the court.

The panel also approved a rule permitting a reset of the shot clock to 20 seconds when the ball is inbounded in the frontcourt after a foul by the defense. If more than 20 seconds remains on the shot clock, the shot clock will not be reset.

This season, fans will also notice that throw-in spots will occur from more consistent spots in the frontcourt when the offensive team retains possession after a non-shooting foul or other stoppages in the game. The location of all throw-ins in the frontcourt will be determined by an imaginary line drawn from the corner of the court to the intersection of the lane line and the free-throw line. If the stoppage of play is inside this area, the throw-in will occur on the end line 3 feet outside the lane line. If the stoppage occurs outside this area, the throw-in will be at the nearer sideline at the 28-foot mark. Deflections will continue to be put back in play at the nearest out-of-bounds spot. Throw-ins in the back court will continue to be at the nearest spot.

ADDITIONAL RULE CHANGESReferees can use the instant replay rule in the last two minutes of the second half or last two minutes of overtime

to see if a secondary defender was in or outside the restricted-area arc but only when a call has been made. If the player is in the restricted area, a block will be called on the defender. If the secondary defender is in legal guarding position and outside the restricted area, a player-control foul will be called. The Big Ten and Mid-American conferences experimented with this rule last season.A mandatory minimum of 0.3 second will be taken off the game clock when the ball is legally touched, and an official

immediately blows his whistle.A legal screen was redefined to require that the inside of the screener's feet be no wider than his shoulders.The cylinder rule was adjusted to allow more freedom of movement for the offense. If a defensive player straddles

an offensive player's leg in a way that prohibits him from making a normal basketball move — which now includes pivoting — contact that creates a common foul will be called on the defensive player.

HUSKERS SIGN TWO DURING FALL PERIOD Nebraska Men’s Basketball Coach Tim Miles

announced on Nov. 10 that high school seniors Brady Heiman and Xavier Johnson have signed with the Huskers for the 2018-19 season.

Heiman is a 6-foot-11 center from nearby Platteview High School, where he is a four-year starter for Coach Tim Brotzki. A three-star recruit by Rivals, he becomes the first high school senior to sign a Letter-of-Intent with the Husker basketball program since the fall of 2001. As a junior, he was an honorable-mention all-state Class B pick by both the Omaha World-Herald and Lincoln Journal Star, averaging 15.7 points on 55 percent shooting, 8.9 rebounds and 4.8 blocks per game, as Platteview went 21-5 and reached the state tournament for the second straight year. He had seven double-doubles as a junior, including a 17-point, 11-block performance.

Xavier Johnson is a 6-foot-2 guard who attends Bishop O’Connell High School in Arlington, Va. A four-star recruit by ESPN, Johnson was one of the top-10 players in Virginia by ESPN, while Rivals and 247Sports both rated Johnson as a three-star prospect. 247Sports listed him as the No. 10 combo guard nationally in the class of 2018. As a junior, Johnson averaged 10.5 points, 4.2 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game for Coach Joe Wootten, as Bishop O’Connell finished with a 20-10 mark. Johnson’s best performance as a junior was a 32-point, eight-rebound, four-assist outburst against Gonzaga Prep. Johnson plays AAU ball for Team Takeover and Coach Keith Stevens, helping Team Takeover win The 8 Tournament in Las Vegas last July with a 16-point effort in the title game. He also helped his team earn a runner-up finish at the Peach Jam this past summer.

A proven program builder who has enjoyed success at the Division I, Division II and NAIA levels, Tim Miles was named the 27th basketball coach at the University of Nebraska on March 24, 2012. He is believed to be the only active coach who has made national tournament appearances at four-year schools at the Division I, Division II and NAIA levels.

During the 2016-17 season, the Huskers won a pair of games over ranked teams, including Big Ten regular-season champion Purdue, as they played 20 games against teams which reached postseason play. Senior Tai Webster earned second-team All-Big Ten honors and first-team USBWA all-district accolades.

In 2015-16, Miles guided a youthful Husker team to 16 wins against a schedule featuring 11 ranked opponents. The Huskers also won multiple games in the conference tournament for the first time in a decade, including a win over a Wisconsin team which eventually reached the NCAA Sweet 16. Shavon Shields repeated as a first-team Academic All-American and was a second-team All-Big Ten pick.

In 2014-15, the Huskers garnered their first national ranking since 1995 and enjoyed record-setting attendance numbers, establishing a school-record attendance of 15,569 fans per game to rank 10th nationally. Terran Petteway earned All-Big Ten honors for the second straight year and earned an invitation to training camp with the Atlanta Hawks.

In2013-14,MileswasnamedBigTenCoachoftheYearandJimPhalenNationalCoachoftheYearafterguidingtheHuskerstoan 11-7 Big Ten mark and a fourth-place finish after the team was picked to finish 12th in the preseason. NU’s 11 conference wins were its highest total since 1965-66, while the fourth-place finish was the Huskers’ best since 1997-98. Miles became the first Husker coach to garner conference coach-of-the-year accolades since 1991 after guiding the Huskers to their first NCAA appearance in 16 years.

Before taking over the Nebraska program, Miles spent the previous five seasons building the Colorado State program. He increased his victory total in each of his five years at CSU, culminating in a 20-12 record and the school’s first NCAA appearance in nine seasons during his final year in Fort Collins. After winning 16 games in his first two years, his teams went 55-41 over the last three years, reaching postseason play in each campaign.

The 2011-12 Rams posted the school’s first 20-win season since 1997-98 while playing a schedule that was rated as the fourth-toughest in the country. Colorado State set a school record with three wins over ranked teams and placed three players on the All-Mountain West teams, and Miles was named the District VIII CoachoftheYearbytheU.S.BasketballWritersAssociationforhisefforts. The Rams, one of four Mountain West teams to receive bids in the 2012 NCAA Tournament, averaged 70.1 points per game on the season and topped the Mountain West Conference in field-goal percentage (47.1), 3-point percentage (40.0) and free throw percentage (76.8).

With 23 years of experience as a head coach at four institutions, he has compiled a career record of 360-306 that includes three conference championships and seven postseason tournament appearances.

Before taking over the Colorado State program, Miles spent six seasons at North Dakota State, guiding the Bison through the transition to the Division I ranks. He won at least 16 games in each of his final five seasons at the school, including the program’s first three years at the Division I level. Miles’ tenure at NDSU was highlighted by a pair of road wins over top-15 squads in his final two seasons.

Miles showed his ability to turn around programs during his tenure at Southwest Minnesota State University. He took a program that had only one winning season in the previous decade and went 78-39 in his four seasons at the school, recorded the first 20-win season in school history, and led Southwest Minnesota State to its first back-to-back winning seasons in more than two decades.

Miles began his head coaching career at Mayville (N.D.) State University, guiding the program to a 35-22 record from 1995 to 1997 and a pair of conference titles. He began his coaching career as an assistant coach at Northern State for six seasons from 1989-90 through 1994-95 and helped the Wolves to five NAIA playoff appearances and five regional titles. He was the recruiting coordinator for NSU and was responsible for bringing in and coaching five All-Americans at that school.

A native of Doland, S.D., he graduated from the University of Mary in Bismarck, N.D., in 1989 and earned a master’s degree in health and physical education from Northern State in Aberdeen, S.D., in 1990. He was inducted into the University of Mary Athletic Hall of Fame in 2007.
