BULLDOG STORYLINES & PROJECTED STARTERS

• Louisiana Tech looks to bounce back Sunday when the Bulldogs host Ecclesia College inside the Thomas Assembly Center on Karl Malone Court. Four of the next five games for LA Tech will come at home where they are undefeated this season.

• LA Tech was unable to pick up its first road win this past Wednesday, falling 77-69 to Georgia Southern. The Bulldogs got to within one early in the second half, but chased the Eagles the rest of the game without being able to take the lead. LA Tech got outrebounded for just the second time this season, getting beat 32-29 on the glass with Georgia Southern collecting 12 second-chance points.

• Desite a five-minute scoreless stretch in the first half, LA Tech still shot 50.0 percent from the field (27-of-54). Through the first four games, the Bulldogs shot 39.6 percent while in the last three contests they are shooting 51.4 percent.

• LA Tech held Georgia Southern to 27.3 percent shooting from three-point range. Not a single opponent this season has shot over 30 percent from beyond the arc this season on the Bulldogs (longest streak since 2003). LA Tech ranks 23rd in the nation in three-point percentage defense (26.9).

• The LA Tech bench registered a season-high 57 points against the Eagles. They have now scored 50+ points in three of the seven games this season and are averaging 40.57 points per contest, which ranks 10th in the country.

• DJ Dudley was exceptional against the Eagles, scoring a season-high 26 points on 10-of-17 shooting from the field and 4-of-8 from beyond the arc. Through his first four games as a Bulldog, the junior averaged just 4.5 points per game (18 total points). Over the last three contests, he is averaging 17.7 points while shooting 48.8 percent. He is also averaging 3.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists during this stretch.

• AJ Bates continues to pace the team in scoring with an average of 11.3 points per game. The sophomore was limited to seven points at Georgia Southern, but did tie his career high with nine assists. The point guard is now averaging 5.3 dimes her game, which ranks third in CUSA and 59th in the country.

• Sir Issac Herron had another strong performance, posting 10 points and four boards at Georgia Southern. Over the last three games, the graduate senior is averaging 10.7 points while shooting 84.2 percent from the field. He has shot over 80 percent in all three games (tied for second most in the country with at least six field goal attempts in each contest).

A LA TECH WIN...

• Would improve the Bulldogs home record to 5-0. LA Tech has won its first five home games in 12 of the last 16 seasons.

• Would give the Bulldogs a 1-0 series lead over Ecclesia College. The Royals are the only team this season LA Tech will face for the first time in program history.

• Would give the Bulldogs their 1,499th win in program history.

• It is practically a brand new roster for LA Tech as 10 newcomers joined the squad, including eight transfers and two high school signees. It has become the new norm in college basketball and the Bulldogs are no different, having averaged 8.7 newcomers per season over the last three years. The 10 years before that, LA Tech averaged just 5.1 newcomers per season.

• Talvin Hester enters his fourth season at the helm at LA Tech. In his third year, Hester guided the Bulldogs to a 20-win season, marking the 30th time in program history the team has reached 20+ victories. This was the second straight season Hester led the team to 20 wins, going 22-10 in 2013-14. As a result, he became the seventh head coach in program history to register back-toback 20-win seasons.

TALVIN HESTER

HEAD COACH | 4th SEASON

ATTITUDE AND EFFORT.

They are more than words on a wall or slogans on a t-shirt. Inside the Louisiana Tech men’s basketball program, they are a mindset — a daily standard.

For head coach Talvin Hester, who enters his fourth year at the helm of the Bulldogs, these two pillars are not just motivational fluff. In a game full of variables, he believes attitude and effort are the two things you can always bring — and always control.

Emphasizing attitude and effort helped the 19th head coach in program history orchestrated a 20-win campaign in his latest season and three All-Conference selections, highlighted by Daniel Batcho who was named CUSA Defensive Player of the Year. Batcho ranked 27th nationally with 64 blocks, anchoring a team identity built around attitude and effort.

The Bulldogs opened the year with a scorching 7-0 start—the program’s best since the 1984-85 season—and went on to capture the Gulf Coast Showcase championship, earning victories over Southern Illinois, Richmond, and Eastern Kentucky. The team also tallied a signature non-conference win against WAC Tournament champion Grand Canyon in the WAC/CUSA Challenge.

Under Hester’s leadership, the Bulldogs set a program record for single-season free throw percentage, shooting 75.0 percent from the line and surpassing a mark that had stood since the 1976-77 season. The squad continued to hang their hat on defense, finishing top 50 in the nation in both field goal percentage defense (41.3) and three-point field goal percentage defense (30.9).

Hester was named NABC District 11 Coach of the Year and a Ben Jobe Award finalist after guiding LA Tech to a 22-10 overall record in his second season at the helm. LA Tech registered a 12-4 CUSA record, finishing second in the league. The Bulldogs went 8-7 in road games, including a 6-2 mark in league contests away from home.

They ranked as the top CUSA team in both NET rankings and KenPom while sporting one of the best defenses in the country. The Bulldogs ranked seventh in the nation in field goal percentage defense, allowing teams to shoot just 39.1 percent (lowest in program history since the 1957-58 season). LA Tech held 20 teams under 40 percent shooting this season, tied for the third most in the country. They also ranked 16th in the nation in scoring defense, holding their opponents to 64.5 points per game.

Among the players Hester helped develop were Isaiah Crawford who was voted CUSA Player of the Year/CUSA Defensive Player of the Year as well as Batcho who was selected as the CUSA Newcomer of the Year. Crawford, who is now with the Houston Rockets organization in his second season in the NBA, and Batcho were joined by Tahlik Chavez and Sean Newman Jr. as All-CUSA honorees, the most in program history since 1985.

Hester led LA Tech to a 15-win season in his first season as head coach, picking up his first ever victory in the season opener against Mississippi College as well as claiming the title of the Samford MTE with wins over Alabama A&M, Tennessee-Southern, and host Samford.

Hester brought 20 years of coaching experience back to Ruston, a place he spent three seasons (2018-21) as an assistant coach with the Bulldogs. He departed for Texas Tech, spending one season as an assistant coach where he helped the third-seeded Red Raiders reach the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament.

While in Lubbock, he worked under Associated Press Big 12 Coach of the Year Mark Adams. Texas Tech put together a 27-win season including victories over Montana State and Notre Dame to help the program make its fifth Sweet 16 appearance in program history. TTU, which had five All-Big 12 selections, was ranked as high as No. 9 in the country and reached the Big 12 championship final for just the second time in program history. The Red Raiders had the No. 1 ranked defense in the country (per Kenpom. com) while limiting opponents to only 60.2 points per game, holding teams to 38.2 percent shooting and forcing 15.9 turnovers per contest.

During his three successful years at LA Tech under Eric Konkol, Hester helped the Bulldogs register three winning seasons of 20-plus victories. The 2020-21 season saw the ‘Dogs register a 24-8 overall record while claiming a CUSA West Division title and a third place finish in the National Invitation Tournament. The team received an at-large berth to play in the NIT for the first time since 2015 and became just the second team in program history to make the Final Four.

LA Tech, which had the highest-rated defense in CUSA ranking top 30 in the country in field goal percentage defense and three-point field goal percentage defense, upset Ole Miss in the first round, defeated league foe WKU in the quarterfinals and won a 76-74 thriller over No. 1 overall seed Colorado State in the Final Four consolation game.

In his second season in 2019-20, the Bulldogs registered a 22-8 overall record during the regular slate, but the team did not have a chance at postseason play with the CUSA and NCAA/NIT Tournaments being canceled due to the public health threat of COVID-19. The 22 wins ended up being the most victories of any CUSA team and of any Louisiana Division I team. The Bulldogs also recorded a 13-5 league record, finishing in a tie for second place.

In his first year with the ‘Dogs, Hester helped the team to 20 victories, eight of those coming against teams who also produced 20-win seasons, the most in program history. One of those came in the season opener at Wichita State as the Bulldogs shocked the Shockers, handing them only their fourth loss in their last 76 home games.

Along with the four Bulldogs who earned All-CUSA honors in 2023-24, Hester has also coached All-CUSA selections DaQuan Bracey (First Team), Kenneth Lofton Jr. (Third Team and CUSA Freshman of the Year), Cobe Williams (Honorable Mention), and Keaston Willis (Honorable Mention) as well as Jordan Crawford who was chosen to the CUSA All-Freshman Team for the 2022-23 season. Lofton, who spent two seasons in the NBA with the Memphis Grizzlies, Philadelphia 76ers, and Utah Jazz, plays in China where he was named the Best International Player in 2024-25 with the Shanghai Sharks.

Along with stops at Texas Tech and LA Tech, Hester spent the majority of his coaching career in the south, especially in the Lone Star State. He spent time at Oral Roberts, Houston, Texas State, Stephen F. Austin, San Jose State, Prairie View A&M, Texas College, Texas Wesleyan and North Lake College during his career.

Hester began his coaching career in 2002 at North Lake College in Irving, Texas before he spent one year at his alma mater Texas Wesleyan and one at Texas College. His coaching resume also includes a stop with the Texas Rim Rockers of the United States Basketball League as an assistant coaching intern and the Dallas Mustangs AAU team for one season. He was an assistant coach at Texas College in Tyler, Texas for the 2004-05 season before going to Prairie View A&M.

As a student-athlete, Hester played at Dallas Christian College during the 1996-97 season.

NEWS AND NOTES

POST-BATCHO

It will be easy to notice that Daniel Batcho is no longer on the basketball floor for the Bulldogs this season.

After manning the paint for the past two seasons at LA Tech as a two-time First Team All-CUSA selection, CUSA Newcomer of the Year, and CUSA Defensive Player of the Year, it will now be Bulldog-by-committee in replacing Batcho’s production.

LA Tech brought in a trio of big men to protect the rim this season -- 6-foot-10 Sir Issac Herron, 6-foot-10 Kylan Howze, and 7-foot Melian Martinez.

UNCLE WILL

Will Allen (aka Uncle Will because he’s old) is back for his fifth year with the program.

The 24-year old who graduated this past summer brings a wealth of leadership to a fresh roster. He will also be counted on for his playing experience where he enters the season having seen action in 89 career games for LA Tech, including 20 starts.

AIR KADEN RETURNS

Kaden Cooper, who was one of 10 players voted to the Conference USA All-Preseason Team, is back with the Bulldogs after having a standout season last year following the transfer from Oklahoma.

He appeared in all 32 games for LA Tech as a sophomore while making 30 starts. He averaged 9.3 points per game, shooting 47.6 percent from the field.

He made his mark as one of the top rebounding guards in the country after leading the ‘Dogs on the boards with an average of 7.8 per contest. His 6.22 defensive rebounds per game average ranked first in CUSA and 32nd in the country.

Cooper led the Bulldogs in rebounding 18 times while registering 10 double-digit rebounding games. Over his last seven games last season, he averaged 10.1 rebounds.

aj plays in czech republic

AJ Bates was selected to join Athletes in Action Basketball for an international tour this past summer, traveling to the Czech Republic.

He was part of a select team comprised of student-athletes from eight college basketball programs across the country. The team competed in exhibition games against the Czech Republic’s U20 and U23 national teams while also participating in outreach activities, including a one-day youth basketball camp and coaching clinic.

He helped Athletes in Action go 3-1 while averaging 14.8 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 7.3 assists per game.

COMEBACK FOR WILL JEFFRESS

It is comeback season for Will Jeffress.

Following a four-year stint in his home state at Pittsburgh, the Bulldog had gotten off to a terrific start in his first year at LA Tech last season, starting in the first three games while averaging 12.5 points and 8.0 rebounds going into the Nov. 13, 2024 contest versus UMass in Long Island, New York.

Late in the first half, Jeffress went for a loose ball and suffered a season-ending injury.

He is back for the Bulldogs in a redemption year as his last collegiate season.

Jeffress graduated in 3.5 years from Pitt with two degrees in Psychology and Communications. He was a three-time ACC All-Academic Team selection and a 2024 Academic All-District honoree.

LOST PRODUCTION

LA Tech will have to replace 78.5 percent of its scoring from a season ago, includings its top four scorers. By comparison, the Bulldogs have lost approximately 60 percent of its scoring the previous two seasons.

Daniel Batcho 533 points graduated Amaree Abram 395 points transferred Sean Newman Jr. 308 points transferred Al Green 306 points transferred

DUNK COUNTER

The phrase Dunkin’ Dogs (featured on LA Tech’s alternate black uniforms) was coined during the 1982-83 season when Karl “The Mailman” Malone and “Big Will” Simmons threw down dunk after dunk after dunk.

And for the last 40+ years, the dunks have continued. Through seven games this season, LA Tech has tallied 25 slams.

NEWS AND NOTES

QUEST FOR 1,500

In 1926, Louisiana Tech joined the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association. And thus began the journey of the Bulldogs which is now in its 99th season of college basketball.

As of Dec. 3, the Bulldogs need just two more wins to reach 1,500 all-time victories.

WE GOT TALLER, and bigger

Not only is the roster a noticeable difference from last season, so is the size of the roster (literally).

LA Tech’s average height this season is 6-foot7 and 3/4, over three inches taller than the average height of last year’s team. The 202526 team also averages 208.3 pounds, seven pounds heavier than last year.

7-FOOTER A BULLDOG RARITY

Having a 7-footer on the Bulldog roster is very much a rarity.

Melian Martinez joins an elite group as one of just three Bulldogs in program history to stand 7-feet tall.

Melian Martinez (2025-26)

Joniah White (2014-18) Charlie Bishop (1966-70)

JONES COLLEGE >> LA TECH

With so many new Bulldogs, there are two of them that are not new to each other.

Kylan Howze and Avery Thomas II were teammates last season at Jones College where they led the Bobcats to a 3-4 record, which was the most wins in program history.

Jones College claimed the MACCC regular season title, going 13-1 in league play, and finished ranked No. 4 in the country after winning the Region 23 title and advancing to the NJCAA Tournament Round of 16.

FROM la to la

Hester’s first coaching experience outside of Texas came at San Jose State from 2010-12 in San Jose, California.

The head coach has always said there is a ton of basketball talent in California, and he has been able to bring some of it to Ruston.

After having players like Terri Miller Jr., Al Green, and Sean Newman Jr. become Bulldogs, this season it is DJ Dudley who is carrying on the California connection.

FROM texas TO louisiana

Head coach Talvin Hester is from Arlington, Texas, and has past the vast majority of his life in the Lone Star State, both playing and coaching.

So it is no wonder that the Bulldog lineup has routinely had Texans on the team. This season is no different with five.

AJ Bates Houston, Texas

Sir Issac Herron Houston, Texas

Jaylen Fenner Humble, Texas

Keegan Rowell Lorena, Texas

A’Meir Williams Kennedale, Texas

Entering his fourth season as head coach, Hester has had a total of 12 players from the state of Texas.

NORTH LAKE CONNECTION

When Talvin Hester wanted to be college basketball coach, the first person to give him a job was Tim McGraw in 2002 at North Lake College in Irving, Texas.

Twenty years later when Hester became a head coach for the first time at LA Tech, his first hire was McGraw, inducted into the 2021 National Junior College Athletic Association Basketball Coaches Hall of Fame, as a special assistant.

McGraw now enters his fourth season as part of Hester’s Bulldog coaching staff.

ALL-QUARTER CENTURY TEAM

Back in the summer, Louisiana Tech fans were able to vote on the Bulldog Basketball All-Quarter Century Team (2020-25).

The team featured three All-Americans and a combined 25 all-conference selections.

NEW ‘VOICE OF THE BULLDOGS’

Bulldog Basketball will have a new voice this season as Kyle Schassburger was named as the ‘Voice of the Bulldogs’ this past summer.

Schassburger joins LA Tech after serving as a Network Coordinator for six years at Learfield, where he directed the planning and execution of radio broadcasts for top-tier athletic programs including Arkansas, Georgia Southern, Southern Miss, UAB, Tulane, and Charlotte.

His extensive play-by-play résumé includes coverage of the SEC Baseball and Women’s Basketball Tournaments, Arkansas Razorbacks Basketball and Baseball, Georgia Southern Baseball, and national tournament broadcasts for the ACC and SEC, among others.

WE LOST A LEGEND

June 24, 2025 was a sad day for Louisiana Tech as Dave Nitz -- the legendary Voice of the Bulldogs for half a century -- passed away at the age of 82.

A proud native of Milton, West Virginia, Dave’s journey to Ruston was paved with a passion for the microphone. It was the spring of 1974 — the NCAA District Tournament at old Arlington Stadium — when he first called LA Tech baseball, the sport he loved above all others.

That marked the beginning of something special.

Later that fall, Dave officially joined the Louisiana Tech Football Network. And over the next half century, he became the voice of Bulldog athletics behind the mic for football, basketball, and baseball. His calls weren’t just descriptions of the action — they were memories etched in time.

By best estimates, Dave called more than 4,500 Louisiana Tech games. That’s thousands of moments, plays, and stories told by someone who truly loved telling them.

Dunkin’ Dogs TBT Team

For the first time, alumni of the Louisiana Tech Men’s Basketball program formed a team called Dunkin’ Dogs, which took part in The Basketball Tournament (TBT), the 64 team, $1 million winner-take-all event.

CUSA grew again on July 1, 2024 as Kennesaw State officially joined and then again on July 1, 2025 when Delaware and Missouri State brought the league membership to 12.

There have now been 35 members in CUSA since the league was formed back in 1995. UTEP is currently the longest member, going into its 21st season. Behind them is Louisiana Tech, Middle Tennessee, and FIU who all joined in 2013 and are getting ready to take part in their 13th season. WKU enters its 12th season as a league member.

PRO DOGS

When Karl “The Mailman” Malone was taken with the 13th overall pick in the 1985 NBA Draft by the Utah Jazz, it set off a streak that continues to this day.

In all 40 years since then, at least one Bulldog has been playing in the NBA. That streak continues to this day as former Bulldog Isaiah Crawford is a member of the Houston Rockets organization. There are plenty of other former Bulldogs playing professionally as well.
