Listen to Colt Ryan's Career-High 39 Points vs. Bradley

Aces junior Colt Ryan was nearly unstoppable as he poured in a career-high 39 points at home in the Ford Center against Bradley.  UE won the game 90-67.  Below is the audio call as well as my interview with Colt after the game:

Steve Merfeld Hired at Creighton

Steve Merfeld is back in coaching and back in the Valley.  The former Aces head coach has been hired by Creighton as an assistant coach.  Brand new head coach of the Blue Jays Greg McDermott has brought Merfeld on staff. 

Merfeld tells me that he is “blessed and thrilled with the opportunity.” 

Merfeld was the head coach of Evansville for five seasons.  He then landed at Bradley as an assistant coach, and continues his MVC tour at Creighton.

While Merfeld was at Evansville and McDermott was at Northern Iowa the two were good friends.  Now they will work alongside each other in Omaha.

I have been very good friends with Steve over the years.  He couldn't have treated me any better.  He's a great man off the court with great integrity.  I think Merf at Creighton is a perfect fit.  I will continue to root for him every game...except two! ha!

Congrats Coach Merfeld!
