TV: Sooner Sports TV, Chad McKee (pbp), Billy Tubbs (analyst) Radio: KLIP, FM, Nick White (pbp) Live Stats: ulmwarhawks.com WARHAWK QUICK HITS ULM begins its 62nd season of men s basketball and third under head coach Keith Richard on Sunday at Oklahoma. The game tips off at 2 p.m. inside the Lloyd Noble Center. The Warhawks return just one starter and five letterwinners from last season. The five probable starters for the Warhawks in the season opener have combined to make 27 career starts at the Division I level. Junior guard Marcelis Hansberry is back after finishing the season strong. Hansberry averaged 11.3 points and 2.4 assists over ULM s final seven games last season, including a career-high 22-point effort on 7-of-11 shooting at UALR (Feb. 4). Sophomore guard Trent Mackey ranked fifth in the Sun Belt in 3-point percentage (.433) last season as a freshman. The Tampa, Fla., native averaged 5.8 points and 1.2 assists per game. ULM has added six newcomers this season, including junior college transfers Jayon James and Amos Olatayo. Both James (Iona) and Olatayo (Stephen F. Austin) began their careers at Division I schools and should make an immediate impact for the Warhawks this season. Another junior college transfer that should see a lot of minutes this season is forward Millaun Brown. ULM and Oklahoma have met four previous times with the Sooners owning a 4-0 advantage in the series. In the last meeting, ULM trailed by just three points at halftime before falling in Norman on Nov. 17, PROBABLE STARTERS (stats from season) ULM Ht. Wt. Yr.

The Warhawks return 45.9 percent of its scoring and 31 percent of its rebounding from last season. Junior Charles Winborne is the only regular starter back from last season for the Warhawks.

McCray, sophomore guard Trent Mackey and sophomore forward Trey Lindsey. Also back is sophomore forward Ife Eke, who redshirted last season due to a season-ending injury during preseason practice. Hansberry has the most experience of the bunch as he has appeared in 54 career games and made 15 starts in his career. The junior from Jackson, Miss., averaged 5.8 points per game last season, but finished the season strong with an average of 11.3 points and 2.4 assists over ULM s final seven games. Mackey had a solid freshman campaign last season as he averaged 5.8 points and 1.2 assists per game. He finished second on the team and fifth in the Sun Belt in 3-point percentage (.433). McCray is the Warhawks leading returner in steals (20) and blocked shots (6), while Lindsey made the third-most starts of any returner last season. BIG RETURNS FROM BEYOND THE ARC ULM returns a majority of its 3-point production from last season, including junior Charles Winborne and sophomore Trent Mackey, who were two of the better shooters from beyond the arc in the Sun Belt. Winborne made a team-best 57 3-pointers and shot 43.5 percent, the fourth best mark in the Sun Belt, while Mackey went 42-of-97 from deep and ranked fifth in the Sun Belt, shooting 43.3 percent last season as a freshman. Winborne and Mackey combined to make 99 3-pointers and shot a combined 43.4 percent from deep last season. NEW FACES ULM will rely on six newcomers to make up for the loss of four starters from last season. Junior College transfers Jayon James and Amos Olatayo should be the biggest contributors as each has experience at the Division I level. James comes to ULM from Lamar State-Port Arthur, where he averaged 7.4 points, 7.5 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game last season. The 6-6 forward spent his freshman season at Iona College, where he appeared in just 12 games as he struggled with a foot injury. Olatayo earned all-conference honors last season at Navarro College as he averaged 9.4 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.7 steals per game. The 6-4 guard began his career at Stephen F. Austin and provides ULM with experience at the guard position. Also joining the squad is junior forward Millaun Brown (6-7) from East Mississippi Community College, freshman guard Kyle Koszuta (6-2) from Niceville, Fla., freshman guard Taylor Birchett (6-4) from Roswell, Ga., and walk-on Colton Ponder (6-5) from Shreveport, La ULM MEN S BASKETBALL 2

WARHAWKS CLOSING IN ON 900 WINS In its 62nd season of men s basketball, the ULM program enters the season just four wins shy of 900. The men s basketball program has been one of the finest at ULM over the years as the Warhawks have captured 10 regularseason conference titles, eight conference tournament championships and have appeared in the NCAA Tournament seven times and the NIT twice. ULM S APR ON THE RISE The ULM men s basketball team has shown significant improvement in its academic progress rate (APR) over the past two seasons and the NCAA has taken notice, announcing in March that the Warhawks would have all 13 scholarships available and be able to participate in postseason play for the season. ULM graduated three players last season, including Hugh Mingo, Christian Bibi Ndongo and Fabio Ribeiro. ULM will still be partially sanctioned this season as it will have two hours less practice time each week and will play 10 percent less games than the rest of the team s across the country. I am really proud of our players that were with us for the past two years that really made a difference in the classroom, Head Coach Keith Richard said. We gave them a lot of support, held them accountable and they really responded. SUN BELT MOVES TO 20-GAME CONFERENCE SCHEDULE IN With the departure of Denver, the Sun Belt has moved to a 20-game conference schedule for the season. In the new format, ULM will play a home-and-home schedule with every team in the conference. With the addition of the 20-game conference schedule and the 10 percent reduction in the schedule, ULM will play just six non-conference games this season. The Conference will still have two divisions with ULM, UL-Lafayette, UALR, Arkansas State and North Texas making up the West Division and Florida Atlantic, FIU, Middle Tennessee, Western Kentucky, South Alabama and Troy making up the East Division. ULM PICKED FIFTH IN SUN BELT WEST DIVISION The ULM men s basketball team was picked to finish fifth in the Sun Belt West Division in a poll of the league s head coaches. North Texas was the unanimous pick to win the Sun Belt West Division with a total of 55 points. The Mean Green was followed in the standings by Arkansas State, UALR, UL-Lafayette and ULM. Defending regular-season champion Middle Tennessee garnered all 11 first place votes and a conference -best 65 points as the favorite to win the East Division of the Sun Belt. The Blue Raiders were followed by South Alabama, Western Kentucky, Florida Atlantic, Troy and FIU. BLOCKS R.J.
