Mar 09 2045: Reflecting on 2045. - by quinnkkelly on May 20th, 2025

This one is difficult to write. We, at Lincoln University MO hold ourselves to high standards on the basketball court. We did not come near meeting those standards this season. This program doesn’t resemble a team that won a national championship just two years ago in the slightest. We apologize to our fans, donors, students and alumni.

We will be better. The only direction to go from a 4-37 season is up. We still have a national champion coach in Matthew Browning, and we will return almost 90% of our minutes from this season. We will also welcome a strong class of three redshirts into (or back into) the program in 2046. Justin Kaiser has looked particularly strong in his development and should pair well with Rob “Big Ron” Chamberlain to form a formidable PG rotation. We are also excited by the entry of PF/C Joel Morse into our program.

The future is still bright. We will never stop doing everything we can to bring Lincoln University MO basketball glory.

Geaux Tigahs.



Apr 06 2043: CHAMPS! - by quinnkkelly on February 6th, 2025

The Lincoln University Missouri Blue Tigers have done it! Division III National Champions!

Congratulations to the players, coaches, administrators, families, students and fans. What a season it's been.

Let's take a moment to look back at what Matthew Browning and co. accomplished in his ninth season as LUMO head coach.

- National Champions of Division III (First in program history)

- VI.2 regular season and tournament conference champions (Fourth regular season championship, fifth tournament championship, third double championship in program history)

- 45 wins (Most in program history)

- 34 game win streak to end the season

- .565 RPI (Highest in program history)

- 153.5 TPI (Highest in program history, 3rd in DIII)

- First tournament win(s) in program history

- Eight straight home sellouts to end the season

What a year. On to V.1. We look forward to the challenge.


Sep 03 2037: The Great Advance - by quinnkkelly on March 8th, 2024

After a rather successful 2037 season, we at LUMO are not oblivious, and recognize that the current level of talent on the roster combined with the incoming recruiting class will not likely be able to maintain the level of competitiveness from this year.
With that said, we are looking forward to this opportunity to start fresh, and rebuild our program, constructing a roster capable of sustainably competing at a high level.
Head coach Matthew Browning has our full support and commitment to recruit and develop the players we need to achieve our goals, and we believe he has what it takes to be the man to lead this program to the promised land.
Geaux Tigers.
