3 PORTER MOSER - head coach Overall Record: At Loyola: In his 13th season as a head coach and sixth at Loyola University Chicago, Porter Moser is known as a tireles recruiter, master game tactician and true teacher of the game. A graduate of Benet Academy, Moser is a native of Naperville, Ill., and came to Loyola following a stint as the associate head coach at Saint Louis University under the late Rick Majerus. Moser and the Ramblers too a giant step forward in , winning 24 games - the third-highest single-season total in program history - and capturing the CBI championship in Loyola s first postseason appearance in 30 years. The Ramblers also saw their final RPI improve 205 spots from the season, the thirdbiggest improvement in Division I and their 24 wins were the most by a Chicagoland school since Named one of the top 50 assistant coaches in the nation by Basketball Times in 2009, Moser helped Saint Louis to a overall record during his four years on staff and his recruiting efforts helped land several of the Billikens players that guided the program to back-to-back NCAA Tournament berths. No stranger to the Missouri Valley Conference, Moser was the head coach at Illinois State from and graduated from Creighton, which was a member of the MVC at the time. Prior to his stint at Illinois State, Moser compiled a record in three seasons as head coach at Arkansas-Little Rock. Taking over the Trojans program at only 31 years of age, Moser turned a 4-24 team into an squad in one season, the greatest turnaround in Sun Belt Conference history.

He wasn t the only Loyola player to average at least 10.0 ppg, as Richardson put up 13.0 ppg and Custer added 10.5 ppg. 4Junior college transfer Aundre Jackson may have had the most impressive individual performance of the trip when he collected 15 points and 15 rebounds in a victory over Eurocolegio Casvi. 4The last time Loyola took a foreign tour, prior to the season, it opened the year with a 10-3 record.
