The last time a JSU team won 11 of 13 games was 1999-00 under then-head coach Mark Turgeon. JSU’s only two losses during the stretch came by four points at Wichita State on Dec. 12 and by two at West Virginia on Dec. 22. Jacksonville State is off to a 3-0 start in Ohio Valley Con- ference play. It’s the best start to OVC action in program history and the best start to a conference season since going 4-0 to begin Atlantic Sun play in 2002-03. The Gamecocks have won four games in a row. It is one win away from tying the longest winning streak under head coach Ray Harper, achieved earlier this season, and two away from becomming the lonest in 10 years. JSU is coming off a 69-62 home victory over Eastern Illinois. Jacksonville State has now won the last three meetings with the Panthers. It was the first win over EIU at Pete Mathews Coliseum since Jan. 26, 2012. Jacksonville State earned its first road sweep of Belmont and Tennessee State last week, becoming just the sec- ond OVC program to escape Nashville with two wins. JSU has an 2-0 OVC start for the third straight season.

4 | 2018-19 Jacksonville State Basketball

GAMECOCKS ON HISTORIC ROLL Jacksonville State has won 11 of its last 13 games. The last time a Gamecock squad won 11 of its last 13 was the 1999-2000 campaign under then-head coach Mark Turgeon. It’s the best 13-game clip in JSU’s Division I history. The last time a JSU team experienced more success in a set span of games was during the 1994-95 season when then-head coach Bill Jones was 24-1 for the year during the Gamecocks’ transitional period from Division II to Division I.

GAMECOCKS BEGIN OVC PLAY ON UNMATCHED STREAK The Gamecocks are off to a 3-0 start to Ohio Valley Conference play. It is the first time in JSU’s OVC history it has been undefeated after three games in league play. It is the best start to a conference season since the 2002-03 season when that year’s squad began Atlanta Sun play with a 4-0 record under Mike LaPlante.

GAMECOCKS VICTORIOUS IN LAST FOUR OVC OPENERS With Jacksonville State’s 83-73 win over Belmont on Jan. 3, it has won its last four conference openers. The last time the Gamecocks lost an OVC opener was during the 2014-15 season, falling 73-57 at SIUE. The win also snapped Belmont’s streak of nine consecutive OVC-opening wins. It marks the third consecutive year head coach Ray Harper has led JSU to at least a 2-0 start to conference play.

HARPER’S GAMECOCKS UNDEFEATED AGAINST EASTERN ILLINOIS Jacksonville State topped Eastern Illinois 69-62 on Jan. 10, claiming its third consecutive win over the Panthers. Harper snapped a three-game losing streak to EIU in his first season and has now led the Gamecocks to take an 11-10 advantage in the all-time series. JSU’s win over EIU at Pete Mathews Coliseum was also the first victory over the Panthers inside The Pete since the 2011-12 season.

BURNELL ON FIRE Jacksonville State is 11-2 over its last 13 games, and senior Jason Burnell has a lot to do with it. The forward has averaged 14.9 points per game with 48 assists and 112 rebounds over the 13-game span. During the Gamecocks’ five-game winning streak, the senior forward totaled a team-leading 82 points, along with six steals and six blocks. He scored a career-best 23 points in the second game of the winning streak on Nov. 21 vs. North Florida. He fell just two assists shy of a triple-double Jan. 3 at Belmont with 19 points, 12 boards and eight helpers. He has scored double-digits in 13 of 16 games this season.

GAMECOCKS SWEEP MUSIC CITY SERIES For the first time in program history, Jacksonville State left Nashville with wins over both Belmont and Tennessee State in the same week. JSU topped Belmont 83-73 on Jan. 3 and edged out Tennessee State 69-62 on Jan. 5. The Gamecocks are just the second OVC program to take down both Belmont and Tennessee State on the road, becoming the first to do it since Eastern Kentucky in 2015-16.

GREGORY STEALING THE SHOW Jamall Gregory ranks 38th in the NCAA with his 32 steals this season. He ranks second in the OVC, averaging 2.0 steals per game. He is the reason JSU ranks 21st in the NCAA in total steals (140) and 23rd in steals per game (8.8 steals per game).

TAKING CARE OF THE BASKETBALL The Gamecocks have committed less turnovers than their opponents in 12 of 16 games played. Jacksonville State ranks 38th in the nation with 16.38 turnovers forced per game, while it ranks 45th in the NCAA with a 3.3 turnover margin. The Gamecocks have outscored opponents off turnovers in 10 game of 16 games. JSU has outscored opponents 266-198 off turnovers.

DEFENSE TOP 40 IN TURNOVERS FORCED, SCORING DEFENSE The Jacksonville State defense has forced 210 turnovers this season, ranking 38th in the nation and fourth in the OVC with an average of 16.38 turnovers forced per game. Their 67.2 defensive scoring average ranks 73rd in the NCAA and second in the conference, while its field-goal percentage defense ranks 54th and second in the conference at 40.4.

JSU WINS THIRD AT GENTRY CENTER The Gamecocks’ 69-62 win over Tennessee State on Jan. 5 was just the third win for the program inside the Gentry Center and second in OVC play. Mark Turgeon led JSU to a 77-65 win in Nashville on Dec. 16, 1999, and it wasn’t until Jan. 21, 2017 before Ray Harper claimed the follow-up victory.

HARPER HAS BELMONT’S NUMBER With Jacksonville State’s 83-73 win over Belmont on Jan. 3, head coach Ray Harper has led the Gamecocks to four consecutive wins over the Bruins. Four games in a row is the best mark by an OVC foe since BU joined the league in 2012. The last team to take four in a row from Belmont was Austin Peay from 2004-08 while the Bruins were members of the ASUN.

GAMECOCKS AT THE CURB CENTER Belmont’s remarkable conference record at Curb Event Center stands at 47-3 since joining the OVC in 2012. Two of those losses are to Jacksonville State, and they are in consecutive visits to The Curb by Harper’s Gamecocks. JSU is now the only OVC team to defeat the Bruins multiple times inside their own gym and the only team to do it in back-to-back visits.

MOSTELLA HAS BIG RETURN TO THE COURT Redshirt senior Detrick Mostella made his return to the court Jan. 3 against Belmont after missing six consecutive games with a leg injury. In his first game back, the guard scored a season-best 19 points, was 4-for-4 from the free-throw line and knocked down three 3-point shots. In the following game at Tennessee State, he scored 15 points with a perfect 4-for-4 night from the floor and was 4-for-4 from the free-throw line.

HOME/ROAD SPLITS

#JSUSTRONGJacksonville State’s campus was struck by a tornado March 19, 2018 while the team was in Conway, Ark., competing in the CBI. The University was on spring break at the time of the EF3, hence one of the major reasons no deaths were reported as a result of the storm.

Pete Mathews Coliseum, the home of Jacksonville State basketball, received extensive damage. The roof was torn from the west end of the building, allowing rain to fall onto the court, into the team’s locker rooms and the coaches offices.

As a result, the basketball coaches offices are temporarily located inside the football stadium and the team has no locker room. During the summer, the team practiced on high school and elementary school courts before a Campus Recreation court could be refinished.

The first game back at Pete Mathews Coliseum was Dec. 18 vs. North Alabama.

GAMECOCKS IN TRIPLE DIGITS Jacksonville State’s 109-77 win over Reinhardt on Dec. 29, coupled with its 101-61 win over Carver College on Nov. 28, marks the first time the Gamecocks have recorded multiple games in which they have scored 100-or-more points in a single season since the 1995-96 campaign - JSU’s first season as a Division I program. In addition, the 109 points scored against Reinhardt is the most points scored in a single game by the Gamecocks as a Division I program. It is the most points JSU has scored in a game since totaling 128 against Miles College in 1994-95 during the program’s transition to the D1 level.

WARE HAS CAREER DAY VS. REINHARDT Freshman De’Torrion Ware recorded career-best numbers in nine different categories during the Gamecocks’ 109-77 win over Reinhardt on Dec. 29. Among the highlights, he totaled 20 points, pulled six rebounds and had one steal, one block and two assists. His six 3-pointers stand as the most 3-pointers by a Gamecock in a single game this season.

GAMECOCKS COME UP TWO POINTS SHORT AT WEST VIRGINIA The Gamecocks are coming off a hard-fought 74-72 loss to West Virginia on Dec. 22 at WVU Coliseum. Jason Burnell fired up a 3-point attempt with eight seconds remaining, but the shot came up short. JSU rebounded a failed WVU shot with four seconds remaining but could not get the ball downcourt before the final horn.

HUNTER RECORDS NEW CAREER-HIGH POINTS SCORED AT WEST VIRGINIA Senior Marlon Hunter scored a new career-high 26 points Dec. 22 at West Virginia. The guard was 12-for-22 from the floor and 2-for-4 from the free-throw line. His previous best was 23 at North Alabama on Dec. 1.

HARPER GETS 50TH JSU WIN With a win over North Alabama on Dec. 18, head coach Ray Harper became the fastest Division I JSU head coach to reach 50 program wins. He is the second-fastest head coach in program history to reach 50 victories. Hall-of-famer Bill Jones still holds the record at 50 wins in 80 games. Harper achieve the feat in 82 games.

GAMECOCKS CLAIM 450TH WIN IN PETE MATHEWS COLISEUM With its win over North Alabama on Dec. 18, JSU claimed its 450th program victory at Pete Mathews Coliseum. The Gamecocks own a 450-160 record at The Pete. Jacksonville State is an overall 702-565 since the construction of its home in 1974. This is the 45th anniversary of basketball at Pete Mathews Coliseum.

WINNING STREAK ENDS AT FIVE GAMES Jacksonville State’s five-game winning streak came to an end with its Dec. 12 loss at Wichita State. The streak that began Nov. 20 vs. Western Carolina and stretched until a Dec. 8 win at Delaware State, was the program’s longest since the 2014-15 season when that squad won five consecutive. The last time a Gamecock team won more than five in a row was in 2008-09.

CUNNINGHAM IS JSU DIVISION I REBOUNDING LEADER Christian Cunningham became JSU’s Division I career rebounding leader during the first half of the Gamecocks’ Dec. 12 game at Wichita State. His third board of the night surpassed Nick Murphy, who held the record at 679 since 2011. Cunningham also ranks as one of the program’s top 10 all-time rebounders.

FINALLY HOME TO ROOST JSU played its first home game at Pete Mathews Coliseum Dec. 18 for the first time since Feb. 22, 2018. When the March 19 tornados tore through campus and ripped the roof from The Pete, Ray Harper was forced to schedule the first 10 games of the 2018-19 season either on the road or at a neutral site. JSU’s one “home” game before Dec. 18 (vs. Carver) was played at Cherokee Center and Arena in Centre, Ala., on Nov. 28.

A RIVALRY RENEWED JSU claimed a 76-65 win over North Alabama on Dec. 1 in Florence, Ala., bringing back a rivalry that had fallen silent for 25 years. It was the first meeting between the two schools since either joined the Division I ranks. JSU swept the season series with a 64-50 win at The Pete. The Gamecocks now lead the all-time series 53-36.

GAME 1

Jacksonville State 72,Samford 92

Nov. 9, 2018 - Pete Hanna Center

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Despite a second-half surge from the Gamecocks offense and record-setting night for senior Christian Cunningham, the Jacksonville State men’s basketball team was unable to overcome a 19-point halftime deficit at Samford on Friday. The Gamecocks fell 92-72 in the 2018-19 debut, dropping their first season opener of the Ray Harper era. Cunningham became JSU’s career blocks leader in Friday’s contest, picking up two rejections before the end of the first half. A block of Brandon Austin tied the record, and his swat on a Ruben Guerrero shot was the 163rd of his career. He surpassed the previous record of 162, held by Amadou Mbodji since 2010. Bulldogs guard Josh Sharkey highlighted the Samford victory with a double-double performance on 22 points and 10 assists, while pitching in eight steals and five rebounds. Jacksonville State found itself down by as many as 26 points in the first half after a one-point lead lasted just four minutes into the game. Led by Sharkey, the Bulldogs were able to open up a double-digit lead by the 10-minute mark. During the remaining 16 min-utes of the first period, Sharkey scored a half-best 13 points and recorded six steals. Unrelenting, the Gamecocks closed out the first half with seven unanswered points, carrying momentum to the locker room. Following the 15-minute break, Jacksonville State went on a 12-6 tear to begin the second half. Cunningham began the scoring with a big two-handed dunk that helped propel the offense to a 10-point run at the 15:46 mark. In the four minutes, the JSU defense forced four Samford turnovers. Despite the hot start to the second period, it wasn’t enough to stifle the hot-handed Bulldogs. Samford ended the second half shooting 56 percent, knocking down 114 of 25 shots and out-scoring Jacksonville State 45-44 in the period. Four Gamecocks ended the night with double-digit points. Jason Burnell led the attack with 16 points, followed by 13 each from Ty Hudson and Marlon Hunter. Cunningham finished with 10 points and four blocks.

GAME 2

Jacksonville State 61,Penn State 76

Nov. 12, 2018 - Bryce Jordan Center

UNIVERSITY PARK, Penn. – The Jacksonville State men’s basketball team came up short at Penn State on Monday, falling 76-61 to the Big 10 foes. Jacksonville State’s Jason Burnell scored the first double-double of the season for the Gamecocks (0-2), posting 14 points and 10 rebounds. The senior reeled in 10 defensive rebounds and was 5-for-12 from the floor. Lamar Stevens and Rasir Bolton scored 25 points each for Penn State, accounting for more than 65 percent of the Nittany Lions’ point total. Bolton, who was not in Patrick Chambers’ starting five, helped PSU to 30 points off the bench. “I thought we put ourselves in a good position to win tonight,” head coach Ray Harper said. “I thought our team played extremely hard. On the road against a Big 10 team, I thought we were right there with a chance. “We’re going to get better. We’re still missing some things offensively, as far as ball movement, but that will come. I thought we were better tonight, but we need to improve offensively and rebound the ball better.” The Gamecocks led by as much as four halfway through the first period, up 18-14 with 9:21 to go before halftime. Burnell had scored 10 points, thus far, and the JSU defense had held the Penn State shooters to 0-for-8 from long range. The Nittany Lions flipped the script soon after, erasing the four-point deficit by hitting five of their next eight 3-point attempts. PSU outscored the Gamecocks 23-14 through the final eight minutes to take a 37-32 lead to the locker room. After scoring 12 first-half points, the Penn State defense shortened its leash on Burnell. For the remainder of the game, Burnell was held to two points with one of six shots falling. Christian Cunningham stepped up during Burnell’s drought, scoring all 10 of his points in the second half. This coming after Cunningham didn’t take a shot in the opening period. The PSU lead was whittled down to six points, 61-55, with 4:44 remaining, but 15-6 run by the Nittany Lions put away any chance Jacksonville State had of escaping Bryce Jordan Center with a win. Redshirt-senior Detrick Mostella scored a season-high 17 points, eclipsing Burnell’s 16 scored at Samford. The first-year Gamecock was 7-for-16 with one 3-pointer.

Jacksonville State 65,Bradley 74

Nov. 14, 2018 - Carver Arena

PEORIA, Ill. – The Jacksonville State men’s basketball team was not able to overcome a stag-nant first half at Carver Arena, falling 74-65 to Bradley University in the final game of the Cancun Challenge’s U.S. Regional. Despite three Gamecocks scoring in double-figures, led by a 13-point performance by redshirt senior Detrick Mostella, the late-game rally accompanied by early scoring droughts landed Jacksonville State it’s third loss of the season. “They answered every time we would make a run,” head coach Ray Harper said. “It’s hard to overcome when a team keeps answering back with runs of their own. “I saw some positives, but we still had way too many breakdowns defensively. Especially in the first half. We had to go zone because we couldn’t guard ball screen or get the ball leveled off. They did whatever they wanted, and some 3-pointers early in the game came in transition where we didn’t communicate.” The Braves (3-0) stout defense held the Gamecocks (0-3) to their lowest-scoring period of the year, yielding 23 first-half points. Jacksonville State took 32 shots – seven more than Bradley – but hit just 11. For seven minutes, Jacksonville State was held to 1-for-10 shooting with Christian Cunningham ending the drought with a layup at 8:06. Following the Cunningham basket, momentum temporarily sung the JSU’ s direc-tion. Jacksonville State hit a 13-5 run that saw Mostella score five, including JSU’s first 3-pointer, and De’Torrion Ware hit his first collegiate basket. The under-four media timeout brought an end to the run, however, and Bradley scored six consecutive to end the half. The second half saw the Gamecocks and Braves trade baskets the entire 20 min-utes. JSU outscored the home team 42-40 in the period thanks to seven 3-point baskets. Maurice Dunalp, who was held to two shots the first half, was 3-for-4 from beyond the arc. Mostella added two more treys to bump Jacksonville State’s shooting percentage from 34.4 percent in the first to 60 percent in the closing half. Although JSU answered its worst-scoring half with its best-scoring half, Bradley answered the Gamecocks nearly shot-for-shot to hang onto a nine-point advantage. Five Braves finished with 10-or-more, led by Koch Bar’s 20 points. The Gamecocks achieved a small team goal by seeing their assists outnumber their turnovers. JSU had 22 helpers, the most in a single game this season, while also cutting their turnover total to 14 – their lowest of the season.

Western Carolina 53,Jacksonville State 84

Nov. 20, 2018 - Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya

PLAYA DEL CARMEN, Mexico – The Jacksonville State men’s basketball team earned its first win of the season Tuesday with a record-setting 84-53 defeat of Western Carolina in the first game of the Cancun Challenge at the Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya. The Gamecock defense forced 35 turnovers with the help of 19 team steals. The 19 pickoffs broke a Cancun Challenge single-game record of 14 steals, previously held by VCU since 2008. Jacksonville State scored 45 of its points off turnovers. Guards Jamall Gregory and Derek St. Hilaire provided the spark off the bench as each led the Gamecocks in scoring with 15 points. Gregory’s 15 points were accompa-nied by five steals to tie his career high. St. Hilaire’s 15 is a career-high in a JSU uniform. Of Jacksonville State’s 84 points, 46 came from the bench. Marlon Hunter scored six of the Gamecocks’ first 12 points within the first five min-utes of the game, giving Jacksonville State a nine-point lead. The WCU defense put the clamps on Hunter soon after, allowing the senior just three points the remainder of the stanza, and erasing the JSU lead six minutes before the break. The Catamounts tied the contest 22-22 with 5:55 to play, but that’s when Gregory struck with his second dunk of the day and turned momentum to the Gamecocks. With a steal and thunderous two-handed dunk, Gregory ignited an 11-0 run to push the season’s best lead to 11, 33-22, with 1:10 left in the period. The run saw the senior lead scoring with four points, while Hunter hit a jumper and free throw for three points. The second half was all Gamecocks. JSU outscored WCU 51-29, recording its highest-scoring period of the season. Beginning with a couple of Detrick Mostella free throws at 16:54, the Gamecocks went on a near-five-minute, 21-0 run to put WCU down 56-31. Eleven of St. Hilaire’s 15 points came in the second half, while freshman De’Torrion Ware impressed with 10 points in nine minutes of play in the closing period. All 10 of Ware’s points came in less than nine minutes – between 11:03 and 2:22. Senior Christian Cunningham was the fourth Gamecock to score in double-digits with 10 points. Jason Burnell shared the rebounding effort with four and recorded a game-high five assists. In addition, freshman Maros Zaleznak scored his first collegiate points with a basket in the second period.

North Florida 78,Jacksonville State 83

Nov. 21, 2018 - Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya

PLAYA DEL CARMEN, Mexico – The Jacksonville State men’s basketball team turned in a win over North Florida Wednesday afternoon at the Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya, outlast-ing the Ospreys 83-78 to claim the Cancun Challenge Mayan Division Championship. Senior Jason Burnell had one of the biggest games of his career, scoring a personal-best 23 points and reeling in 10 rebounds en route to his second double-double of the season and a Cancun Challenge All-Tournament nod. Senior Jamall Gregory was named to the Cancun Challenge’s All-Tournament Team and deemed the tournament’s Most Valuable Player. The guard scored 16 points and was 5-for-5 from the free-throw line in the tournament’s finale, bringing his two-day point total to 31 with eight steals. Jacksonville State (2-3) led by as many as eight points early, building up its lead with the help of a 16-5 run that saw Ty Hudson score all six of his first-half points in the game’s first seven minutes. The Gamecock defense kept North Florida (2-4) out of the paint through the first nine minutes, forcing eight of the Ospreys’ 11 shots to be from beyond the arc. North Florida only hit three 3-pointers during the stretch. UNF turned the tables in the last half of the first period, finding its rhythm from long range. JT Escobar led the attack, going 3-for-3 from beyond the arc, while the rest of the Osprey offense was 3-for-4 from 3-point range in the final 11 minutes of the half. In taking a 42-37 lead to the locker room, 27 of UNF’s points scored came on the trey. Following the break, Jacksonville State came back to the court and answered by scor-ing 15 of the half’s first 19 points to take a 52-46 lead. Burnell was 5-for-10 with a 2-pointer and three free throws for 14 points, and Gregory added 12 points to his four from the first 20 minutes. Despite some late-game dramatics and fouls that put the lead in jeopardy, 81-78 with three seconds to play, Jacksonville State controlled the score from the 16:17 mark forward. Along with Burnell and Gregory, Marlon Hunter finished in double-digits with 13 points and Hudson claimed 10. Senior Maurice Dunlap was 4-for-4 from the charity stripe, hitting some big free throws down the line that put the game out of reach. North Florida’s Escobar led the Ospreys in scoring with 24 points. All 24 of his points came off 3-pointers (8-for-14). He had just one attempt within the arc.Official Basketball Box Score -- Game Totals -- Final StatisticsNORTH FLORIDA vs Jacksonville State11/21/18 3:00 PM at Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya

GAME 6

Carver College 61,Jacksonville State 101

Nov. 28, 2018 - Cherokee Center & Arena

CENTRE, Ala. – The Jacksonville State men’s basketball team claimed its third consecutive win with a 101-61 victory over Carver College on Wednesday. The win came before a near-capacity crowd at Cherokee Arena on Gadsden State’s Centre campus. Six different Gamecocks scored in double figures, led by a 19-point performance from Jason Burnell. For the third time this season, the senior paced JSU (3-3) in both points and rebounds, snagging seven boards in 25 minutes of play. Freshman De’Torrion Ware scored a career-high 16 points on 4-for-6 from the field with two 3-pointers and 6-of-8 shooting from the free-throw line. Detrick Mostella and Jamall Gregory each tallied 12 points, Derek St. Hilaire pocketed 11 points and Christian Cunningham finished with 10. It was the first time five or more Gamecocks have scored double-digit points since five accomplished the feat Feb. 22, 2018 against Belmont. Despite a 40-point victory in the end, Carver (0-11) kept within striking distance for most of the first half. It wasn’t until the 7:37 mark that the Gamecocks put more than 10 points between them and the Cougars, going up 26-15 on a St. Hilaire jumper. Before the end of the half, JSU widened the gap to 18 points, 45-27, with the help of an eight-point rally by Hilaire that saw the sophomore score a basket at the buzzer. “We were very lackadaisical on the defensive end in the first half,” head coach Ray Harper said. “I was just wanting to get to halftime so I could speak my mind. We had to be better in the second half, and I thought the group that finished the first half was the best group we had.” Following the break, a focused JSU squad outscored Carver 56-34 in the final period. Of Ware’s 16 points scored, 15 came in the second half. It was the freshman’s final basket, a dunk with 35 seconds to go, that put the Gamecocks’ point total over the century mark. Jacksonville State’s 101-point showing on Wednesday marks the first time a JSU team has reached 100 points in a single game since last season’s opener Nov. 10, 2017 against Tennessee Wesleyan. On the defensive side of the court, the Gamecocks blocked 10 Carver shots. Junior Jacara Cross had the majority of the rejections, swatting six. It’s the second time in his career he blocked five-or-more shots. Meanwhile, Gregory led JSU in steals with four while the rest of the defense totaled 12.

GAME 7

Jacksonville State 76,North Alabama 65Dec. 1, 2018 - Flowers Hall

FLORENCE, Ala. – The Jacksonville State men’s basketball team claimed its fourth con-secutive win after taking the first NCAA Division I meeting between JSU and North Alabama,76-65, on Saturday in Flowers Hall on the UNA campus. The Gamecocks improved to 4-3 on the season, while the Lions dropped to 2-6 overall. The same two clubs will usher in the renovated Pete Mathews Coliseum on Dec. 18 in Jacksonville. Tip off is set for 7:30 p.m. JSU started strong from the opening tip and led the entire contest, including a dou-ble digit lead from the 13:16 mark of the opening half until the UNA cut the lead down to nine at 67-58 with 3:24 left in the game. The Gamecocks led by as many as 20 points early in the second half at 50-30 with 17:45 in the second half. The quick start was attributed to a solid shooting performance in the first 20 minutes as JSU put together a 43 percent shooting half (18-of-41). The Gamecock defense limited the Lions to just 27 percent from the field (7-of-27). UNA made a late run in the final three minutes as they got deficit down to three possessions 72-65 before JSU sealed the win at the free throw line. As a team, the Gamecocks finished shooting 45 percent from the field, while UNA improved to 37 percent from the field in the second half. JSU held UNA to 32 percent shooting for the contest. Senior guard Marlon Hunter turned in a career-high 23 points in the win along with six rebounds and two assists in 30 minutes of action. Hunter, from Panama City, Florida, established his new career mark for points at the free throw line late in the contest. His previous high was a 22 point effort against Southeast Missouri last season. Hunter fin-ished 7-of-14 from the field and 9-of-11 from the free throw line. Hunter was one four Gamecocks in double figures in the scoring column. Junior Ty Hudson posted 12 points, while Jason Burnell added 11 points and credited with five assists. Burnell also pulled down a game-high nine rebounds. Senior Detrick Mostella fin-ished with 10 points in the road win. Derek St. Hilaire came off the bench for seven points. UNA’s Christian Agnew paced the home squad with 22 points, while Kendarius Smith and Kendall Stafford came off the bench for 12 points and 10 points respectively.

GAME 8

Jacksonville State 81,Delaware State 54Dec. 8, 2018 - Memorial Hall

DOVER, Del. – The Jacksonville State men’s basketball team picked up its fifth consecutive win with a 81-54 victory over Delaware State at the Hornet’s Memorial Hall on Saturday. The streak is the longest under head coach Ray Harper, who led the Gamecocks to two four-game winning streaks during the 2016-17 season. It’s the longest JSU winning streak since the 2014-15 Gamecocks won five in a row. Senior Jason Burnell led the attack against the Hornets, earning his third double-double of the season on 22 points and 11 rebounds. The forward was 7-for-9 from the field and knocked down seven of seven free throws. “He is playing at another level right now, and he’s doing it on both ends of the court,” Harper said. “We almost have to have him on the floor. We’re just a different team when he is on the floor. He’s one of those guys you need. “Like a good point guard can make an entire team look good, he does that from the four. We can put the ball in his hands and let him make decisions. He can score from the inside and from the outside. There’s not many categories he doesn’t lead us in right now.” The 22-point showing – one point shy of his career-high – upped his scoring average to a team-high 14.6 points per game this season. The 6-foot-7 senior leads the Gamecocks with 117 points, 65 rebounds, .545 3-point average and 38 baskets scored. After leading JSU to a 43-22 advantage with eight points in the first half, Burnell helped Jacksonville State to an 8-0 run to begin the second half. He tied his first-period total within the first six minutes. The senior finished with 14 points in the closing period. Senior Jamall Gregory totaled 14 points – 10 in the second half – in front of a small home crowd. Just 90 miles away from his hometown of Washington, D.C., the guard received a large ovation when he slammed an alley-oop feed in the second period. Senior forward Christian Cunningham was the third of three Gamecocks to score in double-digits, logging his first double-double of the year. He had 10 points and 10 rebounds in what was his 100th game played in a Jacksonville State uniform. The Albuquerque, N.M., native is just nine games away from breaking into JSU’s all-time games played rankings, and just one rebound from tying the program’s Division I record for career rebounds.

WICHITA, Kan. – A late-game surge wasn’t enough to lift the Jacksonville State men’s basketball team over Wichita State on Wednesday, falling 69-65 at Charles Koch Arena and bringing an end to the Gamecocks’ five-game winning streak. JSU trailed by nine points at the 14:21 mark of the second half after the Shockers outscored the visitors 8-2 in a two-minute span. Despite falling into its largest deficit of the night, 50-41, Jacksonville State answered with a nine-point run to take a 58-57 lead with 6:12 remaining in the game. JSU and Wichita State traded baskets over the next four minutes until Shocker point guard Samajae Haynes-Jones hit a 3-pointer with less than two minutes to go to widen the gap to four. WSU created a seven-point advantage, but a last-second 3-pointer from Ty Hudson provided the game’s final score. “It was right there for us,” head coach Ray Harper said. “We had some bad posses-sions late. I mean, we gave up six points on missed free throws. We fouled a guy taking a 40-footer and gave them three points that way. Down by two, we didn’t block out on a free throw and ended up giving up another three. There’s 12 we just gave them. “I told our kids I was really proud of them for their effort. I thought we competed and it was right there for us, but we’ll watch film tomorrow and learn from it. Hopefully we will be a better basketball team because of it.” The first half saw the two teams combine for 70 points. Wichita State’s four-point lead, 37-33, was their smallest advantage at a halftime for the year, but the highlight of the stanza came on an offensive rebound at 7:48 by senior Christian Cunningham. His third of five rebounds on the night was the 680th of his career, making him Jacksonville State’s all-time Division I rebounding leader. The four-year Gamecock surpassed Nick Murphy’s previous record of 679 and ended the night with 682. Senior Marlon Hunter collected 11 points in the first period, hitting 4-for-11 shots and two free throws, while the WSU defense was able to hold Jason Burnell to zero. The senior forward was 0-for-3 and ran into early foul trouble with three in the first period. As a result, Wichita State outscored 24-6 in the paint for the first half, 42-18 overall. Burnell caught fire in the second period and became one of four Gamecocks to record double-digit points. He and Jamall Gregory each tallied 10, while Hudson and Hunter led the way with 15 each. Ten of Hudson’s 15 came in the second half, as well. Haynes-Jones was the Shockers’ leading scorer with 17 points, going 7-for-16 with three 3-pointers. Meanwhile, the JSU defense held the American Conferen’s leading scorer, Markis McDuffie, to 11 points – 8.5 points below his average.

Jacksonville State 55,Evansville 50

Dec. 16, 2018 - Ford Center

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – The Jacksonville State men’s basketball team handed Evansville its first home loss Saturday, downing the Purple Aces 55-50 at the Ford Center. In their return to the home of the Ohio Valley Conference Championships, the Gamecocks (6-4) claimed the program’s first win over a Missouri Valley Conference oppo-nent. The win ended a stretch of 34-consecutive non-conference home wins for EU (5-5). Seniors Christian Cunningham and Jason Burnell each tallied double-doubles in a game that came down to points in the paint. Cunningham had 13 points and 15 boards, while Burnell has 10 points and 12 rebounds. With just 21 of Jacksonville State’s 55 points coming on jumpers, the JSU bigs received a boost from forward Jacara Cross off the bench. The junior scored seven, blocked two shots and pitched in two assists in 14 minutes of action. A slow offensive start saw the Gamecocks leading on two 3-point baskets, 6-5, after the first six minutes. Cunningham followed up with two dunks, including a one-handed put-back, that sparked the JSU shooters. Cunningham and Burnell each tacked on four points each over the next six minutes to help the Gamecocks to a 23-11 lead on a 15-3 run. Through the final five minutes of the first half, the JSU defense held Evansville to just five points on 2-of-9 shooting. A Ty Hudson 3-pointer at the buzzer gave the Gamecocks a 30-22 lead going to the break. JSU outscored UE 16-2 in the first. Evansville flipped the script in the second half and tied the game 38-38 by the under-12 media timeout. Following Hudson’s third 3-pointer, a basket to begin the second half, the Aces went on an 13-6 run to bring the Gamecock lead to one, 36-35, after five minutes. A 3-pointer from Shamar Givance knotted the score for the first time since early in the first period. The Aces’ corrected their first-half miscues on the inside and scored 16 points in the paint in the final 20 minutes. The home team outscored JSU 28-25 in the closing period, but it wasn’t enough to catch the Gamecocks. Following the tie, Jacksonville State pulled away and kept a three-point buffer through the last six minutes of play. A defensive rebound for the Aces with less than a minute to go threatened overtime, but two Cunningham free throws with a second to go put the game out of reach.

North Alabama 50,Jacksonville State 64

Dec. 18, 2018 - Pete Mathews Coliseum

JACKSONVILLE – Head coach Ray Harper led the men’s basketball team to a historic win inside Pete Mathews Coliseum with a 64-50 victory over North Alabama on Tuesday. The win was important for three reasons: it was the Gamecocks first game inside The Pete since the devastating March 19 tornados, the program’s 450th all-time win at The Pete and Harper’s 50th JSU coaching win. In its 45th season hosting Gamecock basketball, Jacksonville State now owns a 450-159 record on its home court – a .739 winning percentage. Saturday’s game was the first true home game for JSU during the 2018-19 season, scheduling its first 10 games on the road and at neutral sites. Harper became JSU’s fastest Division I head coach to claim 50 wins at the helm of the program. He ranks second all-time at JSU for fastest coach to 50 wins behind hall-of-famer Bill Jones. Harper accomplished the feat in 82 games, while Jones did it in 80. The Gamecocks’ swept the season series over the Lions with the 14-point win. Senior Jason Burnell tallied a team-high 19 points, followed by 15 from Marlon Hunter and 11 from Ty Hudson. With a game-high nine rebounds, Burnell came up just one board from scoring his third double-double in four games. Following four lead changes within the first five minutes of the game, Jacksonville State took an 8-6 lead at the 15:21 mark and never saw the Lions climb back ahead. JSU carried out a balanced attack in the first half with six scoring a combined 31 points. Burnell was the half’s leading scorer with seven, but only four points separated him from Christian Cunningham who scored a half-low three points. Jacara Cross added four points in the first with three coming on the junior forward’s first 3-point attempt and make. The Gamecocks outrebounded the Lions by three, 19-17, in the first, but it was on the offensive boards that JSU held the advantage. Of Jacksonville State’s 19 boards, nine were offensive, leading to 14 second-chance points for the home team. Burnell led the period’s rebounding effort, as well, pulling down three offensive and two defensive. North Alabama’s Aleska Matic hit a 3-pointer to begin the second half, whittling Jacksonville State’s lead down to four, but a 14-0 JSU run helped to put the game out of reach early. The Gamecock defense held the Lions scoreless for nearly five minutes to go ahead 45-27. Harper’s squad maintained the lead for the remaining 15 minutes, allowing no less than a 10-point buffer between them and UNA. The Lions’ offensive leader was the ASUN’s leading freshman scorer, Jamari Stafford, who tallied eight points and played 36 minutes. The Hoover, Ala., native also led on the boards with nine rebounds.Official Basketball Box Score -- Game Totals -- Final Statistics

Dec. 22, 2018 - WVU Coliseum

MORGANTOWN, W. Va. – The Jacksonville State men’s basketball team nearly received an early Christmas present on Saturday, but a career-game from Marlon Hunter wasn’t enough to top West Virginia on the road. JSU fell 74-72 at WVU Coliseum, coming up three points shy of a win over the Power-5 Mountaineers. “We had a chance,” head coach Ray Harper said. “We got what we wanted on our last possession and you have to credit our kids for that. We had a great opportunity here today, and hopefully this helped prepare us for January and February. Down two with eight seconds left, Ty Hudson found Jason Burnell just left of the key for a 3-point attempt. Burnell, who was 1-for-3 from long range, fired up the shot but had it miss short on the front iron. “I thought we executed well,” Harper said. “They went zone late, and I thought our kids did a terrific job of making the next play. Christian Cunningham was terrific today. I thought that was a good as he has played, and Marlon Hunter was good, as well.” Hunter recorded a career-best 26 points, topping his previous high of 23, while Cunningham was 6-for-8 with a free throw for 13 points. Burnell led on the boards with nine rebounds. West Virginia forward Wesley Harris led the Mountaineers with 20 points, knocking down four of four 3-point attempts. Meanwhile, the Gamecock defense limited WVU’s leading scorer Esa Ahmad to just two points. The Gamecocks jumped on West Virginia early with a 13-5 lead thanks to an 8-0 run that included four points from Jacara Cross. The JSU defense kept the Mountaineers score-less for more than four minutes during the stretch, forcing four turnovers for five points. WVU found its shot shortly after, outscoring the Gamecocks 23-11 through the next eight minutes to take a half-best six-point lead. After missing two treys during the opening minutes, the Mountaineers hit four of nine 3-point attempts to take a 30-24 advantage. The Gamecocks regained the lead briefly, 31-30 with two minutes to go before the half, but saw it disappear with six consecutive WVU points. Hunter made it a three-point game at the horn with a tip-in, 36-33. The second half began with West Virginia firing up three 3-pointers, and all three fell. James Bolden, who did not score in the first, bucketed five points within the first five min-utes of the second, while Wesley Harris matched the total with a 3-pointer and jumper. Despite the Mountaineers’ success from long range, Jacksonville State stayed com-petitive inside the paint. The Gamecocks outscored WVU 20-6 under the basket to hold a 39-38 advantage in the period.

Reinhardt University 77,Jacksonville State 109

Dec. 29, 2018 - Pete Mathews Coliseum

JACKSONVILLE – The Jacksonville State men’s basketball team found itself back in the win’s column Saturday with a 109-77 home victory over Reinhardt University to close out non-conference play. A career-high 20-point performance from freshman De’Torrion Ware helped JSU land its second win in as many tries at Pete Mathews Coliseum this season. The Hopkinsville, Ky., native was 7-for-13 from the floor, including a 6-of-11 clip from beyond the arc to total the most 3-point buckets made by a Gamecock in a single game this year. De’Torrion Ware made a lot of shots for us tonight,” head coach Ray Harper said. “He is going to be a very good player. He’s getting better every day, and he gave us a good lift here tonight in a game that needed him.” Prior to Saturday’s game, the Gamecocks were a combined 4-for-32 from beyond the arc for their last two games. Including Ware’s six buckets from downtown, Jacksonville State totaled 39 points on 13-for-30 shooting from 3-point range against the Eagles. Along with improving to 8-2 over its last 10 games, Jacksonville State bucketed 100 points for the second time this season, coupled with a 101-61 win over Carver College on Nov. 28. It is the first time since the 1995-96 season – Jacksonville State’s first year at the Division I level – that the Gamecocks have recorded multiple 100-point games in a single season. JSU clung to a seven-point advantage at the half, leading 48-41 in a period domi-nated by 3-point shooting. During the stanza, Jacksonville State was 8-for-18 and RU was 9-for-14 from long range. Ware was 5-for-8 during the period, with every shot coming from behind the line, for a half-best 15. But double-digit scoring efforts from Reinhardt’s Latroy Strong, Cody Carden and Michael Mays kept the Eagles competitive through the first 20 minutes. The three combined for 34 of their 41 points and accounted for all nine 3-pointers in the half. And the Gamecocks did just that, finding their second gear to outscore the Eagles 61-36 in the closing period. Ware added five points to his first-half total to arrive at 20, while redshirt sophomore lit it up with 13 points on 4-of-6 shooting to tie his career-best of 15 points. Including Ware and St. Hilaire, six Gamecocks wound up scoring in double-figures. Jason Burnell scored a third-most 14 and Ty Hudson had 13, while Christian Cunningham and Marlon Hunter each ended the night with 12 points. Four Eagles scored in double-digits, led by Strong’s 18. Reinhardt’s leading scorer, Samuel Bunkley, and Michael Mays each had 15, while Cody Carden had 11 points.

Jacksonville State 83,Belmont 73

Jan. 3, 2018 - Curb Event Center

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Jacksonville State men’s basketball team claimed its fourth con-secutive win over Belmont with an 83-73 win Thursday night in the Music City, winning at Curb Event Center for the second season in a row. The Gamecocks became the first Ohio Valley team to win multiple games at The Curb, handing the Bruins just their third loss at their home venue since Belmont joined the league in 2012. BU is now 47-3 at home against OVC opponents. The last team to defeat Belmont in four straight meetings was Austin Peay from 2004 to 2008. The 10-point victory marks the fourth Ohio Valley Conference opener the Gamecocks have won and snaps a nine-game winning streak in league openers for BU. Senior Jason Burnell came up just two assists short of a triple-double, totaling 19 points, 12 rebounds and eight helpers, and fellow senior Detrick Mostella had his best game of the season after missing six games with an injury. Mostella tied Burnell with 19 points – his highest total of the season – and pitched in three 3-pointers. Jacksonville State jumped out to a quick 16-10 advantage through the first five minutes with the help of 4-for-5 shooting from the 3-point line. Point guard Ty Hudson knocked down two triples and hit a jumper for half of the opening points. The long-range game fell cold soon after for the Gamecocks, however, as they missed their next nine shots from beyond the line. It wasn’t until Mostella hit a big basket with 1:10 left in the half that JSU had its fifth 3-pointer, pushing the JSU lead to eight. The half came to a close with Jamall Gregory bouncing an open layup off the back of the rim, but Mostella rushed in and tipped the ball in to give Jacksonville State a 40-32 advantage at the break. The second half didn’t start favorably for the Gamecocks with Belmont outscoring JSU 19-13 through the period’s first 11 minutes. A Dylan Windler 3-pointer at 11:24 that pulled the Jacksonville State lead down to two, 53-51, warranted a Harper timeout to stop the momentum. After the timeout with less than 12 minutes to play, the Gamecocks answered with back-to-back baskets from Burnell and Derek St Hilaire to shift the momentum to the visi-tor’s bench. Belmont traded baskets with the Gamecocks nearly shot-for-shot until the two-minute mark when Mostella’s final 3-pointer and six straight free throws, divided between Mostella and Maurice Dunlap, totaled a nine-point run. The Bruins put up eight points in the final two minutes, but it wasn’t enough to catch the Gamecocks. Two points each from Mostella, Hudson and Marlon Hunter kept a 10-point buffer until the clock expired.

Jacksonville State 69,Tennessee State 62Jan. 5, 2018 - Gentry Center

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Jacksonville State men’s basketball team improved to 2-0 to begin Ohio Valley Conference play for the third season in a row under head coach Ray Harper with a 69-62 win over Tennessee State on Saturday. A couple of late 3-pointers from senior Detrick Mostella and junior Ty Hudson lifted the Gamecocks (10-5, 2-0 OVC) over the Tigers (3-11, 0-2 OVC) for just the third time in 17 trips to TSU’s Gentry Center. “We did some things really out of character tonight,” Harper said. “We weren’t men-tally there in the first half, but we gained our composure and made some plays down the stretch. Mostella banged a big 3-pointer and we hit our free throws there at the end.” After leading at the half, a couple of technical fouls that went against the Gamecocks midway through the second period allowed Tennessee State to climb back into the lead. TSU guard Tripp Davis converted all four free throws on the fouls before hitting a 3-pointer to give the Tigers a 48-47 lead at 10:44. The TSU advantage grew to as much as four until Hudson and Mostella struck in the last four minutes of play. Down by one, Hudson hit a 3-pointer to make it a 58-56 game in favor of the Gamecocks, and Mostella dropped a triple two possession later to give JSU a five-point lead. Jacksonville State then proceeded to hit eight straight free throws in the closing min-ute to push the game out of reach by seven points. Mostella didn’t miss a shot all night, going 4-for-4 from the field with three 3-pointers and four free throws. The guard tallied 15 points – his third-highest total of the season – along with a steal and two rebounds. A neck-and-neck first half saw the Gamecocks pull away within the last 10 minutes to take a 34-25 lead to the locker room. Tied 15-15, Mostella and Jacara Cross combined for eight straight points in the next two minutes to put the Gamecocks ahead with 7:18 remaining before the half. Mostella was 2-for-2 from the free-throw line with a 3-pointer, while Cross hit three freebies during the stretch. JSU put up 11 points to the Tigers’ 10 to push the Gamecock advantage to nine before the half’s horn. Hudson finished with six points from beyond the arc and six points from the free-throw line, while Marlon Hunter racked up 13 points. Jason Burnell snagged his sixth double-double of the season with 11 points and 10 rebounds. The win completes the Music City sweep for the first time in the Jacksonville State’s OVC history. It is the first time the Gamecocks have won their road games at both Belmont and Tennessee State in the same season, becoming just the second OVC team to accom-plish the feat. Eastern Kentucky was the first to do it in 2015-16.

Eastern Illinois 62,Jacksonville State 69

Jan. 10, 2018 - Pete Mathews Coliseum

JACKSONVILLE – The Jacksonville State men’s basketball team improved to 3-0 to begin Ohio Valley Conference play Thursday night with 69-62 win over Eastern Illinois in front of a rowdy crowd at Pete Mathews Coliseum. Ray Harper’s Gamecock squad is the first to begin league play with a 3-0 record since the 2002-03 team when Jacksonville State was a member of the Atlantic Sun. It is the first 3-0 start in JSU’s OVC history. Coincidentally, that was also the last team to win 10 of its last 12 games. Thursday, Harper led the Gamecocks to their 11th win in 13 games, matching a feat not achieved since the 1999-2000 season under then-head coach Mark Turgeon. Harper gave a lot of credit to the crowd of 2,275 at The Pete for helping push Jacksonville State to the finish line. “We were just talking about the crowd in the locker room,” Harper said postgame. “That’s one of the best crowds we’ve had since I’ve been here. I can’t thank the students enough for coming out tonight. We only have eight more home games. That’s eight of their nights that I don’t know that they could have more fun anywhere else for a couple of hours than right here. If they keep coming, I’ll make it even more entertaining for them.” The Gamecocks took a narrow one-point lead to the locker room at halftime after a first period that saw the lead change hands five times. Marlon Hunter scored a team-best eight points in the opening stanza, going 4-for-5 from the field, while the reigning OVC Newcomer of the Week, Josiah Wallace, paced EIU with nine points. Three big runs made for an exciting second half, kicked off by a 9-0 JSU stretch. Jason Burnell hit back-to-back 3-pointers, forcing EIU head coach Jay Spoonhour to take a timeout, and Ty Hudson hit a third trey following the timeout to give JSU a 39-29 advan-tage after just two minutes of play. Eastern Illinois found its footing and answered with a stunning 12-1 run that yielded just a Hunter free throw. EIU guard Ben Harvey scored five points during the clip, helping the Panthers to a 49-44 lead with 11:44 to play. The Gamecocks rallied back immediately with a 13-0 run that kept Eastern Illinois scoreless for more than seven minutes. Jacksonville State forced three of EIU’s 16 turnovers during the stretch, while Burnell and Ty Hudson each tallied six points to help JSU to a 57-49 lead. For the remaining five minutes of the game, the Gamecocks outscored the Panthers 13-12 to claim a seven-point win. Burnell finished the night with a team-best 18 points, while Hunter followed closely with 15 points on 7-for-11 shooting. Detrick Mostella rounded out double-digit scoring with 12 points along with three assists. Hudson led the assists effort with four.

April 6, 2016, Gamecocks athletics director Greg Seitz announced the hiring of Ray Harper as the program’s 11th head coach and the fifth to run the Gamecocks at the Division I level.

In his second year as head coach in 2017-18, Harper led Jacksonville State to 20 wins in back-to-back season for the first time in the pro-gram’s Division I history and for the first time since legendary head coach Bill Jones accomplished the feat in 1990-91 and 1991-92. The Gamecocks’ 23-13 record represented just the third 20-win season in their D-1 history and the second under Harper.

The 2017-18 season also brought Jacksonville State it’s second appearance in a national postseason tournament. After leading JSU to its first appearance in the NCAA Tournament only a year ago, Harper took the Gamecocks to the semifinals of the College Basketball Invitational. Jacksonville State claimed wins over Canisius and Central Arkansas in the first and quarterfinal rounds, respective-ly, en route to its first ever wins in a major postseason tournament.

The second-year head coach also delivered a second consecutive berth in the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament in 2018 - a first in JSU’s OVC history. Jacksonville State had not appeared in con-secutive conference tournaments since making the Atlantic Sun Tournament in 2003 and qualifying for the OVC Tournament in 2004. While at the Ford Center in Evansville, Ind., Harper helped the Gamecocks to a 73-70 win over Tennessee Tech in the first round, handing JSU its seventh OVC Tournament win in school history. Coupled with its three wins in the 2017 OVC Championships, the four-game winning streak stood as the longest undefeated streak in the OVC Tournament in the program’s history. In his first season as head coach, Harper inherited a 2016-17 team that was 8-23 the season prior and had not qualified for an OVC Tournament since 2012. The Gamecocks were picked to finish 12th out of 12 teams during preseason polling, and since joining the Division I ranks in 1993, JSU had never won a conference champion-ship or appeared in the NCAA Tournament. Less than one year after his hire date, the first-year head coach completely changed the per-ception of Jacksonville State basketball. Continued on page 30...

The Gamecocks went on to complete one of the most successful seasons in the program’s history in 2016-17. Harper led JSU to its first ever Ohio Valley Conference title, first appearance in the Division I NCAA Tournament and just the second 20-win season in the pro-gram’s Division I history. JSU finished the 2016-17 campaign as the sixth-most improved team in the nation (+10.0 wins). The Gamecocks clinched a berth to just their fifth OVC Tournament since joining the league in 2003-04 with a 70-61 road win over Morehead State to cap the regular season. JSU entered the con-ference tournament as the No. 3 seed, earning a first-round bye. Jacksonville State defeated No. 5 seeded Southeast Missouri 74-51 in the first round, upset top-seeded Belmont 65-59 in the second round and downed No. 2 seeded UT Martin 66-55 to claim its first Division I title. Harper became only the second head coach in JSU history to lead the Gamecocks to a 20-win season as a D1 program. He is just the second Jacksonville State head coach to win 20 games in his first season at the helm, tying Jones who began his tenure in 1974 with a 20-7 clip. Harper was one of three first-year head coaches to enjoy a .500+ record; Jones was the last to accomplish the feat in a premiere season 42 years prior. A veteran with over 30 years of experience at the collegiate ranks, Harper boasts a 474-155 career record in 19 years as a head coach. That career includes four national championships - two at the Division II level and two in NAIA. His .754 career winning percentage is best among all active OVC coaches.

Harper came to Jacksonville after a five-year stint at Western Kentucky that saw him post an 89-64 mark that included three 20-win seasons and two trips to the NCAA Tournament. After serving over two years as an assistant at WKU, he took over as the Hilltoppers’ interim coach in January of the 2011-12 season and was named the full-time head coach in early February. At WKU, he went to the NCAA Tournament in 2012 and 2013 and won 20 games in his first three full seasons, making him the first coach in WKU history to achieve the feat.

After taking the helm at Western Kentucky, the Hilltoppers went 11-8 (interim) and 7-1 after he was named full-time head coach, which came after starting the season with a 5-11 record. His debut with the Hilltoppers saw him rally them to the Sun Belt Conference Tournament title and a win over Mississippi Valley State in the First Round of the NCAA Tournament in Dayton. A 20-12 record in 2012-13 ended with the Hilltoppers’ second trip to the Big Dance in as many years. Prior to joining the WKU program as an assistant in 2009, Harper built a head coaching resume that included four national championships, five national runner-up finishes, eight conference titles, five national coach-of-the-year honors and a 342-63 record over 12 years at Kentucky Wesleyan and Oklahoma City University. Harper was named the NCAA Division II National Coach of the Year four-straight years from 1999-2002, while earning the honor at the NAIA Division I level once with Oklahoma City following the 2008 title run. He was selected conference coach of the year on seven occa-sions, as well as the region coach of the year twice. In nine years at his alma mater Kentucky Wesleyan in Owensboro, Ky., Harper laid claim to seven NCAA coaching records, surpassing Division I record-holders in all instances, including becoming the fast-est to 200 wins (224 games), holding the most consecutive 30-win seasons (6) and compiling the most wins in each of the first four-through-eight seasons of his career. With NCAA Division II title game appearances each season from 1998-03, he became the first NCAA head coach since John Wooden to appear in six-straight NCAA National Championship games. He won in ‘99 and ‘01. The NCAA requires a minimum of 10 seasons at the Division II level to officially qualify for its list of head coaching records, but Harper’s nine-year record of 247-46 at Kentucky Wesleyan would give him the best winning percentage in Division II history at .843. At Kentucky Wesleyan, he coached two National Players of the Year, seven All-Americans and nine NABC Great Lakes All-Region players. He had 11 players selected All-Great Lakes Valley Conference and two that were named the league’s player of the year. Through seven seasons, he had more victories than any coach at the NCAA Division I and II levels (210). Harper reached 200 wins in 224 games, which was faster than NCAA Division I record holder and Hall of Famer Clair Bee, who won 200 in 231 games. On February 17, 2008, Harper’s number 12 jersey was retired at Kentucky Wesleyan, and the floor at Jones Gymnasium was named “Ray Harper Court.” From Kentucky Wesleyan, Harper went to Oklahoma City, where in three seasons at the NAIA Division I institution, Harper put together a 95-17 record that featured back-to-back national titles in ‘07 and ‘08. He has also coached on the international level, having led USA Basketball men’s junior team to a 7-1 record and a fifth-place finish at the 2003 FIBA World Championships in Greece. The native of Bremen, Ky., and a 1985 graduate of Kentucky Wesleyan, Harper was a two-year starter for the Panthers after transferring from Texas. He became the school’s first All-American as a senior, and he also earned most outstanding player in the regional as well as all-region and all-conference accolades. The 1981 Southwest Conference Rookie of the Year at Texas after averaging 9.8 points and 3.9 assists per outing, Harper finished his college career with 1,187 points and 605 assists at the two schools. In April of 2010, Harper was named to Kentucky Wesleyan’s All-Century Team. Harper coached 12 of the 30 players on the All-Century Team Harper scored 3,033 points during his high school playing career, earning all-state honors as a senior and District Player of the Year acclaim twice. He earned his Master’s degree from WKU in 1995.
