G a m e N o t e s / Q u i c k F a c t sFast Break• The Beavers have yet to reach the 80 point plateau this season. Last season through 10 games BSU had gone over 80 points on six occasions. On the season the Beavers did so 12 times and posted a 7-5 record in those contests. • No worries on the previous note, the Beavers have the second best scoring defense in the NSIC and 23rd best in the nation, allowing just 59.2 points per contest.• BSU is 6-1 when leading at halftime this season. It’s only loss came to then-No. 17 Winona State Dec. 9.• The Beavers are 3-0 when losing the previous game in 2011-12.• BSU has outrebounded its opponent six times this season and owns a 5-1 record. Last season the Beavers went 11-4 - all their wins - when bringing down more rebounds than their opponent.• The Beavers have taken care of the ball this season. With an average of 10.8 turnovers per game the team leads the NSIC and ranks fifth in the nation. • BSU is fourth in assist/turnover ratio in the NSIC and 27th in the nation with a 1.22 ratio. That is mostly in thanks to senior Bryce Tesdahl, who leads the league with a 2.50 ratio.• The Beavers have already played 36% of their NSIC road games this season, starting the first four league games away from the BSU Gymnasium.• Head coach Matt Bowen has started five different combinations of five this season
The Wolves: The Wolves are 6-2 overall and 2-2 in the NSIC after a 57-41 victory against Wayne State (Neb.) and a 76-68 loss to then-No. 16 Augustana Dec. 9-10 in Aberdeen, S.D. NSU opened the season 5-0, winning all four nonconference games and opening the conference season with a 85-70 win at Concordia University, St. Paul. The Wolves are outscoring their opponents by 15.5 points per game. NSU is led by junior Dustin Tetzlaff’s 16.9 points and 8.4 rebounds per game.
All-TimeSeriesvstheWolves: The Beavers and Wolves have been doing battle since 1959. NSU won that contest 78-48 and own an all-time record of 53-23 against BSU. The Beavers have played the Wolves close as of late, despite holding a 2-3 record in the last five games. All of the last five have been decided by seven or less points and the seven point difference came in a double overtime victory for BSU Jan. 6, 2009. Last season the teams spit, each getting the other on their home court. The Beavers won 92-86 in Aber-deen, S.D. and lost in Bemidji 84-82.
The Marauders: The Marauders are 2-6 overall and 1-3 in NSIC play this season after fall-ing Dec. 9-10 to then-No. 16 Augustana (58-45) and Wayne State (58-55).

N o t e s / B S U R e c o r d W h e n . . . 5-1 Start: The Beavers started the season 5-1, the best since the 1997-98 team went 5-1 to open the campaign. BSU was also on a five-game winning streak (Nov. 12-26) to match its longest run under head coach Matt Bowen (Feb. 12-24, 2010). The 7-3 record through 10 games is the best since the 1973-74 squad posted a 9-1 record through 10.
Against Ranked Opponents: The Beavers got tested right out of the gates this season with a contest at then-No. 10 (currently No. 1) Metro State Nov. 11 in the season opener, as it fell 71-60. BSU also fell to then-No. 17 Winona State Dec. 9 62-49 to hold an 0-2 record against ranked opponents this season. In 2010-11 the Beavers were 0-3 against ranked opponents and are 3-16 under head coach Matt Bowen. The last time BSU de-feated a ranked opponent was at Winona State University Dec. 12, 2009 when the Bea-vers upset the Warriors 88-87 in overtime.
Thanks for the Charity: Last season, the Beavers finished as the No. 2 team nationally in Division II in free throw percentage (Final NCAA Statistics Summary), shooting 78.9 percent from the charity stripe. This season’s edition struggled from the line in the opening two games of the season, shooting just 55.6 percent. Since then BSU has steadily improved its percentage and now owns a 69.9 mark from the line this season (123-of-176).
Gotta Win the Close Ones: In a league as competitive as the NSIC, winning the close games are crucial to separate the non-playoff teams from the postseason contenders. Last season, the Beavers were 3-7 in games decided by five points or less. In 2011-12, BSU is 1-0 in games decided by five points or less and 2-0 in games decided by 10.
Helping Hand: With a dish to Patrick Cassidy in the opening minutes of the 87-82 loss to No. 15 Minnesota State Jan. 21, 2011, senior Bryce Tesdahl became the school’s career assist leader (1976-present). The assist was the 315th of his career, surpassing David Lee (1984-88). He finished first in the league and No. 9 in the nation in assists (6.0 apg) last season. He had four 10+ assist games last season and has six in his career. His 156 assists last year finished second on BSU’s top season assists chart. This season his 4.50 assists per game is tied for first in the NSIC and 67th in the nation. He posted his season-high eight assists against Upper Iowa Dec. 10.
NSIC Player of the Week: Senior James Ellisor was named Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference Player of the Week Nov. 21 by the league office for his efforts in the 68-49 home opener victory Nov. 20 against University of Sioux Falls. He scored 27 points, added a career-high 15 rebounds, went 11-for-18 (61.15) from the field, 1-for-2 (50%) from 3-point land and 4-for-5 (80%) from the charity stripe. He also added a game-high four assists and tied game-highs in steals (2) and blocks (2). In 36 minutes of playing time he only turned the ball over once. It was the first-career honor for Ellisor and the third time under head coach Matt Bowen a player was recognized by the league with the weekly award (Seth Haake in 2009 and Lance Rongstad in 2010).
Nice Finish: BSU closed the final 7:12 of regulation on a 20-3 run to cruise to a 68-49 home opening victory against University of Sioux Falls Nov. 20. Senior James Ellisor started the run by converting on an old-fashioned three-point play. The Cougars came back on their next possession and found a bucket underneath, but as it would turn out, it would be the last field goal USF would score for the rest of the game. The Cougars’ only other point came on free throw with 24 seconds remaining.
Double the Pleasure, Double the Fun: The Beavers have three double-doubles so far this season, which all have come from senior James Ellisor. His mark is the second most in the NSIC this season. • 27 points and 15 career-high rebounds versus University of Sioux Falls Nov. 20• 19 points and 11 rebounds at No. 17 Winona State University Dec. 9• 19 points and 10 rebounds at Upper Iowa Dec. 10
Roaring 20’s: Ellisor was the only Beaver to score 20 or more points this season until sophomore Jake Schalow posted 21 (tied career-high) against Upper Iowa Dec. 10. Ellisor has four games in the 20’s, posting 27 points twice (at Metro State and vs Sioux Falls), while scoring 26 against Michigan Tech and 22 against Minot State.
Welcome to the BSU Three Party: The Beavers have hit at least five 3-pointers in nine of the 10 games this season to total 70, an average of 7.0 a game.

Since taking his post as head men’s basketball coach at Bemidji State in 2006, Matt Bowen has led the Beaver program to improvements both on and off the court. Becoming the 19th head men’s basketball coach at BSU June 30, 2006, Bowen now enters his sixth season at the helm after spending 15 years as an assistant coach at the Division I level. The Beavers finished the 2010-11 season with a 11-15 overall and 8-14 Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference record to finish in a three-way tie for 10th and just a game out of eighth. BSU started the season 3-1, but spent most of the season trying to find a rhythm. The Beavers hovered around .500 until dropping seven straight games Jan. 14 - Feb. 5. Four of those losses came by a five point or less margin. BSU finished the season on a high note, winning four of the last six games, including a 60-58 victory at Winona State to defeat the Warriors for the second consecutive season on their home court. Close games proved to be the difference maker for the Beavers as they closed the campaign with a 3-7 record in games decided by five points or less. Newcomer James Ellisor made an immediate impact by averaging 17.3 points, 7.0 rebounds and a league leading 57.9 field goal percentage to earn Second-Team All-NSIC honors. Bryce Tesdahl continued to dish out assists and became the program’s assist leader. Bowen has molded his team into opportunistic shooters from the free throw line, as the squad closed the season second in the nation in free throw percentage with a 78.9 percent mark from the charity stripe. Bowen earned his first double-digit win season in 2009-10 as the Beavers went 12-15 overall and 8-12 in the NSIC, finishing 11th in the conference. BSU had its ups and downs during the 2009-10 campaign, hanging its hat on sweeping Winona State University for the first time since 2003-04. WSU was ranked No. 17 nationally in the first meeting in Winona where the Beavers needed overtime, then at the BSU Gymnasium, BSU prevailed in a nail-bitter 88-86. The Beavers started 5-3, their best eight-game start since the 1997-98 season. After starting strong the youth and short bench slowed BSU and it lost seven straight and were 2-11 from Dec. 13 - Feb. 6. The Beavers found a rhythm at the end of the season, closing the campaign winning five of six. Bowen saw his first four-year player graduate at the end of the season in Seth Haake, who finished 10th in career points and career assists at BSU, leading the team off the court as a two-time NSIC Academic All-Conference team member. Bryce Tesdahl had one of the best performances in the green and white at the point guard position, finishing fourth in the school’s season assists charts with 137, while leading the team in rebounds and finishing 28th in the nation in free throw percentage. Tesdahl wasn’t the only one hitting from the charity stripe as the squad finished fifth nationally in free throw percentage. Academically, BSU closed the 2009-10 season with a team GPA of 3.03. In 2008-09, BSU went 8-19 overall and 6-14 in the NSIC, finishing tied for 10th. Bowen guided his team to a 6-21 overall record and a 3-15 record in the NSIC for a ninth place finish in 2007-08 and was 5-23 overall and 5-13 in the NSIC in 2006-07. Bowen inherited a 2005-06 team that went 15-13 overall and 9-5 in the NSIC that was dismantled at the conclu-sion of the season, carrying over just three players. In the process of rebuilding there are bumps along the road, but the Beavers are moving in the right direction, defeating back-to-back nationally ranked opponents during a four-game winning streak in 2008-09 (Jan. 6-16). BSU beat No. 24 St. Cloud State University at home, 69-66, and then traveled to No. 11 Northern State University and won a two overtime thriller 100-93. In the process of rebuilding, Bowen and his staff have recruited and brought in some of the best talent from around the state of Minnesota to help put the pieces of the BSU men’s basketball program back together. Bowen came to BSU after spending the past 15 years molding his coaching style after some of NCAA Division I men’s basketball’s greatest coaching legends. He was a student manager for Bob Knight at Indiana University and served as an assistant coach under both Gene Bartow at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and most recently, Homer Drew at Valparaiso University. Bowen’s trio of mentors have combined for nearly 2,100 career wins and 105 years of head coaching experience. During his four years under Drew at Valpo, Bowen helped to lead the Crusaders to an overall record of 70-52 (.574) with a 41-21 (.661) mark versus Mid-Continent Conference competition. In 2003, his first season at the university, the team was 20-11 overall and 12-2 in the league as it grabbed the front end of back-to-back conference titles. The Valpo men capped the year off with a trip to the National Invitational Tournament (NIT). The following season, the Crusaders went 18-13 overall with an 11-5 mark versus the league to earn their second league crown and a berth into the NCAA Tournament. In addition to game day and practice duties, Bowen was responsible for organizing all recruiting efforts, summer youth camps, game preparation and scouting and being the team’s academic coordinator. As a recruiter, Bowen was responsible for signing the No. 1 incoming class in the Mid-Continent Conference and one of the Top-100 nationally according to the 2006 HoopScoop and Dave Telep recruiting publications. Bowen’s ties to the Midwest, specifically Minnesota, were evident in the class as it was headlined by Mr. Basketball Minnesota Finalist and Tartan High School graduate Urule Igbavboa. Bowen began his collegiate coaching ventures in 1995 when he was hired as an assistant coach at Alabama-Birmingham. In seven seasons at UAB, the Blazers captured a Conference USA National Division Championship (1999), went to the NCAA Tournament (1999) and were twice invited to participate in the NIT (1997, 1998). The River Falls, Wis. native is the son of long-time NCAA Division III head men’s basketball coach at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls. Bowen has been around basketball all of his life, but he first acquired a taste of his own for collegiate basketball as the student manager for Knight’s Indiana Hoosiers (1990-1995). While serving under coach Knight, Bowen was a part of two Big Ten titles (1991, 1993) and four NCAA Tournament appearances, twice advancing to the Elite Eight (1992-1993) and earning a spot in the Final Four in 1992. He joins a long list of former Indiana managers who have gone on to make a name for themselves in coaching, most notably former New Jersey Nets Head Coach Lawrence Frank, a manager at IU from 1989 to 1992. While at Indiana, Bowen also worked directly with George David, now the Director of Player Personnel for the Detroit Pistons and Ryan Carr, Director of Scouting for the Indiana Pacers. In addition, Bowen’s father, Rick, got his feet wet as a Hoosier student manager under Branch McCracken in the 1960s. Bowen is a 1995 graduate of Indiana with a Bachelor of Science degree in Health, Physical Education and Recreation (HPER). He picked up a Master of Arts degree in education during his time at UAB, graduating in 1999. Bowen and his wife Ashli have a nine-year-old daughter McKenzi and a four-year-old daughter Addison.
