TOURNAMENT TIDBITS •
Five Horizon League teams will play in post-season competition – equaling a league-best (2012, 2014) – with Northern Kentucky representing the league in the NCAA Tournament after winning the Little Caesars Horizon League Men’s Basketball Championship. • Horizon League teams boast a combined 33 NCAA Tournament wins, including two trips to the national championship game, seven Sweet 16 appearances and nine multi-bid seasons. • Northern Kentucky is the seventh team in college basketball history and only the second since 1970 to earn a berth into the NCAA Championship during its first eligible season. • Regular-season co-champions Oakland and Valparaiso both earned bids to the National Invitation Tournament (NIT). The Horizon League last had two teams in the NIT during the 2011-12 season (Valpo, Cleveland State). Horizon League teams have reached the title game of the NIT three times (1989, 1990, 2016). In 2016, Valparaiso advanced to the NIT championship game at Madison Square Garden with victories against Texas Southern, Florida State, St. Mary’s and BYU. • The Horizon League experienced a youth movement during the 2016-17 season, with just two teams boasting two or more years of experience according to KenPom - which weights experience based on minutes played. UIC is the youngest DI team in the nation. # Team Avg.

DETROIT | Lavone Holland II scored 20 points to lead Northern Kentucky to its first NCAA tournament berth in its first season of eligibility. The No. 4 Norse, which completed a four-year reclassification process in August, defeated No. 10 Milwaukee, 59-53, in the 2017 Horizon League Men’s Basketball Championship title game March 7 at the Joe Louis Arena. Northern Kentucky became just the seventh institution to earn an NCAA tournament berth in its first season of eligibility. The Norse came out strong in their first Horizon League title game, taking a 13-4 lead just over five minutes into the contest. Northern Kentucky led by as many as nine points on five different occasions in the first half before the Panthers scored six straight points just before halftime to cut the deficit to 31-28. Drew McDonald and Cole Murray ran the lead back up to eight points by knocking down back-to-back 3-pointers early in the second half. The Norse never lost their lead, but could never deliver the knockout punch to take Milwaukee out of the game. The Panthers (11-24) got within one possession on three different occasions in the second half, but Holland II and McDonald found an answer every time. Holland II had six rebounds and four assists to go with his 20 points while McDonald added 14 points and 12 rebounds. Brock Stull led Milwaukee with 19 points while Brett Prahl added 12 points and five rebounds.

#Farewell2TheJoe
The 2017 HORIZONLEAGUE Basketball Championships are proud to be a part of the “Farewell Season at The Joe” - a year-long celebration of the final season (2016-17) at Joe Louis Arena. Joe Louis Arena has served as the Red Wings home ice for four Stanley Cup Championships (1997, 1998, 2002, 2008) and the team’s current run of 24 consecutive seasons qualifying for the Stanley Cup Playoffs (1990-91 – present), the longest active streak in all of North American major professional sports. The 2018 edition of Motor City Madness will move along with the Detroit Red Wings and Pistons into the new Little Caesars Arena.

TOURNAMENT TIDBITS •
Five Horizon League teams will play in post-season competition – equaling a league-best (2012, 2014) – with Northern Kentucky representing the league in the NCAA Tournament after winning the Little Caesars Horizon League Men’s Basketball Championship. • Horizon League teams boast a combined 33 NCAA Tournament wins, including two trips to the national championship game, seven Sweet 16 appearances and nine multi-bid seasons. • Northern Kentucky is the seventh team in college basketball history and only the second since 1970 to earn a berth into the NCAA Championship during its first eligible season. • Regular-season co-champions Oakland and Valparaiso both earned bids to the National Invitation Tournament (NIT). The Horizon League last had two teams in the NIT during the 2011-12 season (Valpo, Cleveland State). Horizon League teams have reached the title game of the NIT three times (1989, 1990, 2016). In 2016, Valparaiso advanced to the NIT championship game at Madison Square Garden with victories against Texas Southern, Florida State, St. Mary’s and BYU. • The Horizon League experienced a youth movement during the 2016-17 season, with just two teams boasting two or more years of experience according to KenPom - which weights experience based on minutes played. UIC is the youngest DI team in the nation. # Team Avg.

DETROIT | Lavone Holland II scored 20 points to lead Northern Kentucky to its first NCAA tournament berth in its first season of eligibility. The No. 4 Norse, which completed a four-year reclassification process in August, defeated No. 10 Milwaukee, 59-53, in the 2017 Horizon League Men’s Basketball Championship title game March 7 at the Joe Louis Arena. Northern Kentucky became just the seventh institution to earn an NCAA tournament berth in its first season of eligibility. The Norse came out strong in their first Horizon League title game, taking a 13-4 lead just over five minutes into the contest. Northern Kentucky led by as many as nine points on five different occasions in the first half before the Panthers scored six straight points just before halftime to cut the deficit to 31-28. Drew McDonald and Cole Murray ran the lead back up to eight points by knocking down back-to-back 3-pointers early in the second half. The Norse never lost their lead, but could never deliver the knockout punch to take Milwaukee out of the game. The Panthers (11-24) got within one possession on three different occasions in the second half, but Holland II and McDonald found an answer every time. Holland II had six rebounds and four assists to go with his 20 points while McDonald added 14 points and 12 rebounds. Brock Stull led Milwaukee with 19 points while Brett Prahl added 12 points and five rebounds.

#Farewell2TheJoe
The 2017 HORIZONLEAGUE Basketball Championships are proud to be a part of the “Farewell Season at The Joe” - a year-long celebration of the final season (2016-17) at Joe Louis Arena. Joe Louis Arena has served as the Red Wings home ice for four Stanley Cup Championships (1997, 1998, 2002, 2008) and the team’s current run of 24 consecutive seasons qualifying for the Stanley Cup Playoffs (1990-91 – present), the longest active streak in all of North American major professional sports. The 2018 edition of Motor City Madness will move along with the Detroit Red Wings and Pistons into the new Little Caesars Arena.
