On Saturday, the Roadrunners and Hilltoppers will meet for the first time. WKU and Loyola-Chicago (Nov. 25) are the only teams on this year s UTSA schedule that the Roadrunners never have faced before. Saturday s contest features two of the top scoring teams in C-USA as WKU ranks second with an average of 73.7 ppg, while UTSA s 72.2 ppg ranks fourth. The Roadrunners are coming off an win at Marshall on Thursday. Jeromie Hill led the way with a career-best 36 points, which is the most scored by any C-USA player this season. Hill leads UTSA in scoring at 16.7 ppg (5th in C-USA) and rebounding at 7.1 rpg (5th in C-USA). His 19.7 ppg in C-USA contests ranks fourth in the circuit and he has scored at least 10 points in 24 of his last 25 games. Hill, Ryan Bowie, Keon Lewis and Kaj-Björn Sherman combine to score nearly 55 points per game, which accounts for about 75 percent of the Roadrunners scoring. Christian Wilson is UTSA s top reserve at 6.1 ppg. Hill has moved past three former Roadrunners this season to place fourth on the school s career scoring charts. Now with 1,479 points and 718 boards, he needs 21 points to become just the second player in program history with at least 1,500 points and 700 rebounds (Devin Brown; 1,922 points/751 rebounds).

In its first season as a member of C-USA, WKU ranks second in the league in scoring at 73.7 ppg and it is led by senior guard T.J. Price s 17.3 points and 3.7 assists per contest. Price will enter Saturday s tilt with 1,547 career points, which ranks 13th on the school s all-time ledger. The squad also features George Fant, who is 16th on that list with 1,425 points in his time at WKU, and he is the conference s secondleading rebounder at 8.5 rpg to go along with his 13.6 scoring average. The Hilltoppers have won eight straight games, which is tied for the eighth-best current winning streak in the nation, and they have been victorious in 12 of their last 14 contests. In addition, WKU is 9-2 at home this season including a 4-0 mark against C-USA foes. Statistical Comparison UTSA WKU 72.2 Scoring Opponent Scoring Field Goal Pct Pt. Field Goal Pct Free Throw Pct Assists Turnovers Steals Blocks 3.3 Series History: UTSA and WKU will meet for the first time when the teams hit the hardwood on Saturday. The Hilltoppers and Loyola-Chicago (Nov. 25) are the only teams on this year s schedule that the Roadrunners never have faced before. Last Time Out: Jeromie Hill scored a career-high 36 points and UTSA withstood a 15-0 Marshall run in the second half for an win on Thursday night inside the Cam Henderson Center. The senior went 13-of-22 from the field, including 4-of-8 from behind the arc, and 6-of-9 at the charity stripe en route to the highest individual scoring effort by any Conference USA player this season and the most in the Brooks Thompson era. He added eight rebounds for the Roadrunners, who also got 14 points from Kaj-Björn Sherman and a double-double of 11 points and 12 rebounds by Ryan Bowie. Keon Lewis also reached double figures with 10 points. UTSA used a pair of 8-0 runs to build a 16-point halftime lead as Hill matched the Thundering Herd s scoring in the opening 20 minutes. The visitors led by as much as 24 in the second half, but Marshall went on a 15-0 run and eventually cut the deficit to five in the final minutes before UTSA put the game away by hitting 10-of-11 free throws down the stretch. Road Swings: The Roadrunners win at Marshall (Jan. 22) gave the team their third straight road win and their fifth victory away from home this season. UTSA continues to improve its play away from the Convocation Center, after winning just once on the road last season. The squad s current three-game road winning streak is its longest since the season, which was its final campaign in the Southland Conference. The Roadrunners triumph at North Texas (Jan. 4) was the squad s first Conference USA win away from home, after losses in their first nine league road tilts. Media Policy All interviews with student-athletes and coaches must be arranged at least 24 hours in advance by contacting the UTSA Athletics Communications Office. Telephone interviews are available on a callback basis only at a time that is convenient for the student-athlete or coach. Telephone numbers will not be given out to members of the media under any conditions. Postgame interviews will be conducted courtside following a 10-minute cooling off period. The UTSA locker room is closed to the media. Most practices are open to the media and public. We request media members contact Assistant Athletics Communications Director Jordan Korphage at least 24 hours in advance for practice times/dates and interview requests. In most cases, studentathletes and coaches will be made available after practice. Milestones In Sight: Now in its 34th season of play, UTSA reached one milestone against Southern Miss (Jan. 8) and it has a chance to reach another later this season. The Roadrunners picked up the 500th win in program history with its win over the Golden Eagles and UTSA now has an all-time record of (.514). In addition, four more home triumphs would give the Roadrunners 300 victories in the Convocation Center. Scoring More: Heading into Saturday s game, UTSA ranks fourth in Conference USA in scoring by averaging 72.2 ppg. The Roadrunners feature three of the league s top scorers and have four players averaging in double figures. The group is led by senior Jeromie Hill, who ranks fifth in the league at 16.7 ppg and he is joined by Keon Lewis (12th/13.9 ppg) and Ryan Bowie (t-17th/13.0 ppg) among the league s best. Hill has been even better in C-USA action and ranks fourth in the circuit at 19.7 ppg in those contests. In addition, senior Kaj-Björn Sherman is averaging 10.7 ppg and freshman Christian Wilson has chipped in 6.3 ppg off the bench. Hill produced the top scoring effort among league players this season and the best individual output for a Roadrunner during the Brooks Thompson era with 36 points on Thursday at Marshall. Bowie and Lewis also have produced two of the higher individual scoring totals among

3 conference players this season with 29 points in the Roadrunners loss to Southern Utah (Nov. 30) and 28 points in the win over Huston-Tillotson (Nov. 14), respectively. The Roadrunners have had a player score at least 20 points 11 times, led by four such games from Hill. Climbing the Charts: Senior Jeromie Hill continues to climb up UTSA s career charts. The 6-foot-8 forward ranks second in school history with 109 starts, third with 566 field goals, fourth with 1,479 points and 718 rebounds and tied for eighth with a 6.6 career rebounding average and pointers. Hill became just the sixth player in program history to top 1,000 points and 500 rebounds with a 12-point, nine-rebound performance against Utah State (Dec. 29, 2012) and he is one of three Roadrunners to rank in the school s top five for both points and rebounds. Additionally, Hill could become just the second Roadrunner (joining Devin Brown, 1,922 points/751 rebounds) to reach both the 1,500-point and 700-rebound plateaus with 21 points the rest of the way. He is the only player in program history and the only current C-USA player to appear in at least 100 games and start all of them. Lewis Leading the Way: Senior Keon Lewis picked his offense up right where he left off last season. After leading the Roadrunners with 12.6 points per game in , he currently is second on the team and ranks 12th in C-USA at 13.9 ppg. The Seattle native scored 31 points in UTSA s exhibition win over Southeastern Oklahoma State (Nov. 6) before he dropped 28 points in the season opening victory over Huston-Tillotson (Nov. 14). His 28-point outing was the best individual scoring performance in an opener under Brooks Thompson and it was the most points scored by any C-USA player during the season s opening weekend. He has scored at least 10 points in 35 of his 44 games at UTSA, while he has topped 20 points in seven contests. Along with his scoring, Lewis ranks fifth among C-USA players with an.811 free-throw percentage and 1.59 steals per game, eighth with a 1.61 assist-to-turnover ratio, ninth with 3.59 assists per game and 10th with minutes per outing. Baba Bowie: Junior Ryan Bowie has proven to be one of the best all-around players in Conference USA. The transfer from Iowa Western ranks among the league s best in minutes (5th/33.29 mpg), 3-point field goals made per game (t-6th/2.09 3pg), 3-point field goal percentage (11th/.393), steals (12th/1.24 spg) and points (t-17th/13.0 ppg). A native of Lewisville, Texas, Bowie scored a season-high 29 points in the loss to Southern Utah, which is the secondmost points scored by a UTSA player this season. He went 10-of-18 from the floor with a pair of 3-pointers and seven free throws in the losing effort. Bowie also topped the 20-point mark against Washington State (22 points/dec. 6) and Texas A&M-Corpus Christi (20 points/dec. 15). He has hit at least one three pointer in 14 games this season. Man in the Middle: Senior Kaj-Björn Sherman is putting together a career season and he has helped push UTSA s offense into a higher gear. The Mercer Island, Wash., native is averaging 10.7 points and 6.9 rebounds per game (7th in C-USA), while shooting 58.3 percent from the field (5th in C-USA) and 82.4 percent from the free-throw line (3rd in C-USA). He has been particularly effective in his last five games, where he has averaged 13.6 points and 7.2 rebounds, while going 23-of-30 (76.7 percent) from the field and 22-of-27 (81.5 percent) from the charity stripe. Sherman put together his best game at UTSA when he picked up his first double-double with career highs of 21 points and 17 rebounds against Cameron (Dec. 30). Sherman s 17 rebounds were the most by a UTSA player since John Millsap matched that effort against Sam Houston State on Feb. 3, 2005, and it is the third-highest total from a C-USA player this season. Free Fallin : UTSA is connecting at a 68.9 percent clip from the free throw line, which ranks sixth in C-USA, but the identity of its best free throw shooter might surprise you. Seven-footer Kaj-Björn Sherman will enter Saturday s contest with an 82.4 percent mark at the charity stripe to rank third in the league and 103rd in the nation. His percentage is the best in the nation among players listed at 7-feet tall and it ranks second behind all big men that stand 6-foot-10 or taller. Only Texas Myles Turner, who checks in at 6-foot-11, has been better at 88.3 percent to rank 26th in the country. Sherman is 70-of-84 at the line and already he has surpassed his free throw totals from a season ago (48-of-64). He is coming off career highs of 10 free throws made on 11 attempts in the Roadrunners win at Marshall on Thursday. Keon Lewis, who also was Sherman s teammate at North Idaho College, is second on the team and fifth in C-USA with an 81.1 percent mark at the free-throw line. Seeing Double: Jeromie Hill produced back-to-back double-doubles (Nov. 17 & 21) for just the second time in his career and the first time since his freshman season. The senior, who now has 13 double-doubles in his career and three this season, scored 16 points and added 10 rebounds in UTSA s loss to Texas-Pan American (Nov. 17) before a 16-point, 11-rebound performance in the Roadrunners win over Texas State (Nov. 22).

Keith Horne ( ) Melvin Johnson III ( ) Marlon Anderson ( ) Devin Brown ( ) Jordan Sims ( ) Ronnie Ellison ( ) Lloyd Williams ( ) Joey Shank ( ) 139 Jeromie Hill (2010-P) Jon Havens ( ) 132 had strung together a pair of double-doubles since the first two games of his career when he had 16 points and 10 rebounds in his collegiate debut against Huston-Tillotson (Nov. 12, 2010) followed by 27 points and 12 boards at Evansville (Nov. 17, 2010). In addition, Hill has scored in double figures in 24 of his last 25 games dating back to the season and he has finished with at least 15 points in 15 of those contests. Walk-on at the Wheel: Freshman walk-on Gino Littles moved from scout team to starter earlier this season and the Phoenix native continues to make the UTSA offense go. After totaling 15 minutes in the season s first seven games, the point guard has started each of the last 10 contests and he has played at least 17 minutes in each. The son of former NBA coach Gene Littles (Cleveland Cavaliers, ; Charlotte Hornets, ; Denver Nuggets, ), he has turned the ball over just 12 times in 271 minutes of action (about once every 23 minutes) and he has an assist-to-turnover ratio of 2.2. Littles had his best performance distributing the basketball with a season-high six assists and no turnovers in the win at Texas-Pan American (Jan. 12), where the Roadrunners registered a seasonbest 20 assists on their 26 baskets. Rivalry Comeback: UTSA s win over Texas State on Nov. 22 produced the largest comeback win in Brooks Thompson s eight-plus seasons. The Bobcats went on a 16-2 run in the first half to claim a lead before the Roadrunners began to chip away and eventually run away with a late 17-3 spurt of their own. Prior to Saturday, the best comeback under Thompson came in a win over Oral Roberts on Nov. 15, 2011, in Stillwater, Okla., as part of the NIT Season Tip-Off. The Golden Eagles hit a 3-pointer at the first half buzzer to grab a lead only to watch as the Roadrunners completed the comeback on Sei Paye s running, one-handed triple from 25 feet out at the final horn. UTSA s win against Texas State also saw five Roadrunners reach double figures. The Roadrunners have had at least five players score in double digits three times this season, after doing so four times in , and they had six players with at least 10 points in the win at Northern Arizona (Dec. 3). New to the Scene: Seven of UTSA s eight newcomers made their regular season debuts for the team in the seasonopening win over Huston-Tillotson. The group totaled 41 of the team s 92 points, shot 51.9 percent (14-of-27) from the floor and was led by 11 points apiece from junior college transfer Ryan Bowie, who also tied for the team lead with seven rebounds, and redshirt freshman Larry Lewis Jr. Bowie helped fuel an early 11-2 run with seven straight points and the Lewisville native hit his first four shots, including the team s first 3-pointer of the campaign, en route to a 5-of-8 shooting performance. Meanwhile, Lewis Jr. scored nine of his 11 points in the second half and totaled three assists and a pair of steals in 25 minutes. Fellow newcomers Austin Karrer (7 points), Gino Littles (2 points), Edwin Olympio (4 points) and James Ringholt (6 points) added to the group s impressive debut. UTSA s final newcomer, Christian Wilson, made his debut with 15 points, including 10 in the second half, against Texas State (Nov. 22). Rare Air: UTSA head coach Brooks Thompson is in exclusive company among his coaching counterparts. Thompson is one of just nine Division I head coaches that are former NBA first round draft selections (Johnny Dawkins, Stanford; Bryce Drew, Valparaiso; Bobby Hurley, Buffalo; Dan Marjerle, Grand Canyon; Danny Manning, Wake Forest; Scott Padgett, Samford; Reggie Theus, Cal State Northridge; Rex Walters, San Francisco are the others) and one of 24 leading men that have played in the association. Thompson, who is in his ninth season at UTSA, was selected by the Orlando Magic in the first round of the 1994 NBA draft and also played for the Utah Jazz, Denver Nuggets, Phoenix Suns and New York Knicks. Michael Curry (Florida Atlantic) is the only other C-USA head coach that has played in the NBA. Conference USA Year Two: UTSA is in its second season as a member of Conference USA. This will mark the first time that the Roadrunners have been in the same conference for consecutive seasons since their final two as a member of the Southland Conference ( & ). UTSA spent the campaign in the Western Athletic Conference before its first season in C-USA a year ago. East Carolina, Tulane and Tulsa all left the circuit on July 1, 2014, and were replaced by Western Kentucky to form a 14-team league. While last season s C-USA Tournament took all 16 members, the 2015 field will feature the circuit s top 12 teams. Roadrunners Ink Allen, Cockrell to NLIs: UTSA inked Nick Allen (Surprise, Ariz./Willow Canyon HS) and A.J. Cockrell (Tulsa, Okla./Memorial HS) during the early signing period. Allen, a 6-7 forward, averaged 15 points and 4.3 rebounds as a junior and was ranked as the No. 23 prospect from the class of 2015 in Arizona by The Arizona Republic. Meanwhile, A.J. Cockrell is a two-time state champion and is ranked among the top 15 prospects in Oklahoma by

5 OKhoops.com. The 6-8 forward averaged 10.9 points and 8.7 rebounds a season ago and was a Tulsa World honorable mention all-state and all-metro selection. The pair will join the Roadrunners for the season. Thompson s Tenure: Now in his ninth season at UTSA, head coach Brooks Thompson is the second-longest tenured coach in program history. The former NBA first-round pick has guided the Roadrunners to 123 wins, including just the sixth 20-win season in school annals with a mark in That squad won the Southland Conference Tournament by defeating the field s top three seeds in a four-day stretch before besting Alabama State in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, which was the first NCAA Tournament victory for UTSA in any sport. International Connection: During head coach Brooks Thompson s first four seasons at the helm, UTSA had just one international player on campus in the form of Oldendorf, Germany, native Richie Frohlich ( ). This season, four foreign players dot the Roadrunners roster. Senior Jeromie Hill was born and raised in Cairns, Australia, while sophomore Phillip Jones (Freeport) hails from the Bahamas. In addition, freshmen Edwin Olympio (Marseille, France) and James Ringholt (Brisbane, Australia) join the squad. All totaled, Thompson has had nine foreign players during his nine years in the Alamo City. Up Next: UTSA will return home for a 7 p.m. matchup on Thursday, Jan. 29, against Middle Tennessee at the Convocation Center. The game will be broadcast on the American Sports Network with Dave Barnett (play-by-play) and Ben Braun (analysis) calling the action.

Political Science, Oklahoma State, 2001 Head Coach Ninth Season Oklahoma State 85 Former NBA First Round draft pick and Oklahoma State star Brooks Thompson is in his ninth season as head coach of the UTSA men s basketball program. Introduced as the Roadrunners fifth head coach on April 18, 2006, Thompson has assembled a talented and hardworking staff with more than 40 combined years of collegiate coaching experience and the result has been a turnaround both on and off the court. In his eight years in the Alamo City, UTSA has registered the school s first-ever NCAA postseason victory in any sport, captured one league championship, made two conference tournament title game appearances and recorded the most successful four-year stretch (76 wins) in two decades. More than 20 school records have fallen under his watch, while nine players have earned all- conference honors and three have been tabbed league freshman of the year (Devin Gibson, 2008; Melvin Johnson III, 2010; Jeromie Hill, 2011). The Roadrunners also have taken care of business in the classroom. UTSA has collected eight league all-academic certificates under Thompson, including Southland Conference Student-Athlete of the Year honorees in Gibson (2010, 11) and Hill (2012). Kurt Attaway garnered Academic All-District accolades in Additionally, the program s Academic Progress Rate (APR) has improved significantly since Thompson s arrival, jumping from an 818 for the season prior to his arrival to a 949 in the last report. Thompson also has placed a strong emphasis on graduating players, as more than 80 percent of his student-athletes who have exhausted their eligibility at UTSA have earned their undergraduate degree. Last season, Thompson led the Roadrunners in their first season as a member of Conference USA. Despite losing its top three scorers from the campaign, UTSA averaged nearly five more points per game and opened its inaugural season in C-USA with a pair of home victories. In , UTSA won five of its last eight games for a strong finish in its first and only season in the Western Athletic Conference (WAC). The ninth-seeded Roadrunners ran past No. 8 San Jose State (67-49) in the opening round of the WAC Tournament before pulling off the biggest upset by seed in the tournament history by ousting top-seed and regular season co-champion Louisiana Tech, 73-67, in the quarterfinal round. UTSA made the program s third conference tournament semifinal appearance in the past five seasons, where it fell to UT Arlington. UTSA defeated Holy Cross and Old Dominion on the season-opening weekend en route to capturing the Liberty Tax Classic crown. Michael Hale III earned third-team All-WAC honors and Hill was named to the WAC All-Academic Team. The campaign arguably was the most successful in 20 years. Thompson guided UTSA to the Southland Tournament Championship for the first time since 2004 and to the program s fourth NCAA Tournament appearance, where it registered the first NCAA postseason victory in any sport in the department s 30-year history with a first-round victory over Alabama State during the First Four on March 16 in Dayton, Ohio. That outcome gave UTSA its first 20-win season in 19 years. He led the Roadrunners to their second consecutive 4-1 start a school record and their fourth straight 4-0 start at home. UTSA tied for third in the Southland West Division and fifth overall to qualify for its fourth straight Southland Tournament, where it upset the top three seeds en route to the crown. Top-ranked Ohio State ended the Roadrunners season at with a setback in the NCAA Second Round in Cleveland. Six school records were broken in , as Gibson has eclipsed the career assists, steals, free throws, games played and starts standards and the singleseason free throws mark. Gibson earned first-team NABC All-District 23 and first-team All-Southland honors and was named Southland Tournament MVP and Southland Student-Athlete of the Year for the second straight season. Hill was tabbed a Mid-Major Freshman All- American by CollegeInsider.com and Southland Freshmen of the Year and he earned honorable mention all-league accolades along with Johnson III and all-tournament honors along with Gibson. Thompson came to UTSA from Arizona State, where he served as an assistant coach for two seasons. He helped the Sun Devils post eight wins against teams that qualified for the postseason and one of his players Ike Diogu was the Pac-10 Player of the Year, a second-team All-American and the ninth overall pick in the 2005 NBA Draft (Golden State Warriors). The Sun Devils qualified for the National Invitational Tournament (NIT) in Prior to his stint at Arizona State, Thompson was head coach at Yavapai College in Prescott, Ariz., for two seasons ( ) where he compiled a record and a.797 winning percentage, the highest in school history. He was named NJCAA Region I Coach of the Year both seasons and Arizona Community College Athletic Conference (ACCAC) Coach of the Year in Thompson led the Roughriders to backto-back ACCAC regular season titles the first two conference titles in school history and to two consecutive Region I Tournament Championships. Thompson guided Yavapai to a 28-7 record in , qualifying for the NJCAA Tournament and finishing with a final national ranking of No. 11. In , Yavapai was ranked as high as No. 8 and finished the season with a 27-7 mark, a No. 17 ranking and a second straight NJCAA Tournament berth Yavapai had previously qualified just once in The Roughriders scored 91.1 points per game (14th in the nation) and ranked 13th in the country in both field goal percentage (55.0) and 3-point field goal percentage (38.0). He began his coaching career as an undergraduate assistant at Oklahoma State in and served as head coach at Metro Christian Academy in Tulsa, Okla., in He then was an assistant coach for one season at Southeastern Louisiana in Thompson returned to his alma mater for one season as director of basketball operations in , helping the Cowboys reach the NCAA Tournament. In all, Thompson has coached 17 players who have gone on to professional careers, including five current or former NBA players. That list includes Diogu, former Oklahoma State stars Maurice Baker, Desmond Mason and Melvin Sanders and former Yavapai standout Larry Owens. Also a standout player, he was the 1989 Colorado Prep Player of the Year after guiding Littleton High School to a 24-0 record and the Class 4A State Championship. Thompson played two seasons at Texas A&M in where he earned second-team All-Southwest Conference honors after his sophomore campaign. He then transferred to Oklahoma State where he was a second-team All-Big Eight selection in and a firstteam all-conference performer in He led the Cowboys in assists both seasons and averaged 16.9 points per game as a senior. He tallied 1,675 career points during his four collegiate seasons. The Orlando Magic selected Thompson in the first round of the 1994 NBA Draft. He played in the NBA Finals in 1995 for the Magic and set the franchise record for most points in a quarter (21). He also played for the Utah Jazz in 1996, the Denver Nuggets in , the Phoenix Suns in and the New York Knicks in 1998 and spent one year overseas with Iraklis in Greece (1997). Following his professional playing days, Thompson earned a bachelor s degree in political science from Oklahoma State in He and his wife, Michelle, have three daughters, Ryan Michelle, Brooke and Addison
