† 2012 Ohio Valley Conference tournament winner As of March 15, 2012 Rankings from AP Poll * Ineligible for conference tournament |
Preseason
editSix players returned from the 8–21 team of 2010–11. They were joined by four freshmen and three junior college transfers.[2]
The OVC's pre-season coaches' poll picked SIUE to finish last in the Cougars' first season competing for the regular season title in the eleven team conference. No Cougars were selected to the pre-season All-OVC team.[3]
Season
editAfter starting 0–4 in the Cancún Challenge, the Cougars won six conference games, including five of their last eight, and finished in ninth place. Had they been eligible, they still would have failed to qualify for the eight team Ohio Valley Conference tournament.[1]
Mark Yelovich was named to the All-Ohio Valley Conference second team, and Jerome Jones was on the All-Newcomer team.[4]
While earning no post-season honors, freshman Kris Davis was twice named OVC Freshman of the Week[4] and led the NCAA Division I in three point shooting percentage.[5]
