Season Overview
Spartans Set School Record with 23 Wins and Claim Second IIAC Tourney Title in Three Years
DUBUQUE, Iowa – History repeated itself after Iowa Conference MVP Andre Norris and the Spartans won their second IIAC Tournament Title in three years after finishing 23-6, 10-4 IIAC. The tourney title vaulted them into the NCAA Division III National Tournament for the sixth time in school history where they fell to Illinois Wesleyan in the first round, 72-53.
UD fired on all cylinders during its IIAC run to the title. The No.3 seeded Spartans defeated No. 5 Wartburg in the IIAC Championship, 81-73, after UD jumped out to a 7-0 lead they wouldn’t relinquish. Norris, a junior, played lights out after ringing up 24 points, six rebounds, four assists, three steals, and three blocks to lead four Spartan starters in double figures.
UD would take down No. 6 Luther at home, 92-74, in the opening round and pulled the upset on the road at No. 2 Coe, 71-59, in the semifinals en route to the title.
Norris’ gaudy numbers were nothing new after he averaged 24.7 points. 8.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 3.0 blocks, and 3.0 steals in the three-game tournament run. The Plainfield, Ill. native guided the Spartans to a 10-4 IIAC record after leading the league in scoring (21.1) and blocks (1.57) while finishing Top-6 in six other categories. The seven-time IIAC Men’s Basketball Player of the Week was also tabbed Honorable Mention All-American by D3hoops.com, All-West Region by D3hoops.com, and NABC All-West District.
Norris secured two IIAC Men’s Basketball Player of the Week awards while senior Gage Heffernan won one. Norris snagged one during non-conference play and once during conference play and Heffernan won for his MVP performance in the Colorado College tournament early in the season.
With Norris and Heffernan’s consistent production and the Spartans cohesiveness, UD won 21 or more games for the third straight season as the seniors went out as the winningest class (83 wins over four years) in school history.
Head Coach Robbie Sieverding will certainly be reluctant to see them go, “I can’t say enough about our senior class and how they approached each and every practice and game this season. The seniors really raised the bar after playing in three conference tournament championships, winning two, and also winning 21 or more games the past three seasons. We had some really tough kids that played the game the right way and they will be tough to replace as we move forward.”
Each senior starter garnered All-IIAC attention as Gage Heffernan (14.2 ppg, 6.4 rpg, 3.4 apg, 2.1 spg during IIAC play) received First Team honors, Lucas Ware (13.3 ppg, 6.8 rpg) captured Second Team honors, and Brandon Ferguson (8.7 ppg, 3.3 rpg, 1.1 spg) was named the IIAC’s Defensive Player of the Year.
Ware was a force during IIAC play after nearly doubling his non-conference scoring and rebounding averages. The senior point guard out of Platteville, Wis. recorded double-digit scoring in the last seven regular season games and exploded for a career-high 26 points in 105-62 rout of Central.
Ware and the Spartans grinded through a 2-2 IIAC start after rolling in with an 10-1 non-conference record, but took advantage of a pivotal road win at Luther, 68-65, to springboard UD into the rest of the conference season.
“One of the turning points in the season was our game at Luther, three games into the IIAC slate,” said Coach Sieverding. “We were coming off a tough home loss and trailed by 13 points in the first half, but we fought our way back with a nice win on the road. It really gave our team some much needed confidence heading into the latter half of the season.”
UD would go on to win seven of their next eight and set up a showdown with IIAC leader Buena Vista at home with the IIAC regular season title on their minds. The Spartans gave up control early and couldn’t recover as the Beavers shot 52.8% and canned eight threes in the first half to steal the victory on the road.
UD handled Luther, 77-63, in the regular season finale to set up a rematch in the IIAC opening round.
It was a whirlwind non-conference season for the Spartans after playing in six different states and three NCAA Tournament qualifiers in Concordia (Wis.), the University of Northwestern-St. Paul, and Elmhurst College (Ill.). UD won its lone home game, 95-85, over Clarke University.
Heffernan was tabbed MVP and Norris earned his way on to the Colorado College Thanksgiving Invitational All-Tournament Team (Nov. 28-29). Norris and sophomore Jacob Mohlis were also named to the Carroll University Johnson Bank Tip-Off Classic All-Tournament team a week earlier (Nov. 15-16). UD went 4-0 combined between the two trips.
“We had the chance to play and stay overnight in Minnesota, Colorado, and Florida,” stated Coach Sieverding. “Our three trips and lack of home games really allowed our team to grow early in the season.”
The Spartans finished the non-conference slate with a 10-1 record and suffered its only loss at the hands of Elmhurst (Ill.), 98-93 in overtime, to snap the Spartans 8-0 start to the season.
“Overall, I’m really proud of the way our team improved throughout the season,” commented Coach Sieverding. “You always hope to be playing your best basketball late in the season and that was the case this year. Our journey from start to finish is one that our guys and our staff will remember for a long time. Winning the conference tournament championship in front of our home crowd was a great highlight for the seniors and is a memory that will stay with the team for years to come.”
Norris and Mohlis, UD’s two returning starters, will gear up for another championship run in 2015-16. Norris, who scored his 1000th point this season and jumped up to 12th place on UD’s all-time scoring list (1322 points), will also be chasing the Spartans all-time scoring record of 1927 points.

Season Overview
A hot 16-0 start paved the way towards a 21-5, 10-4 IIAC record and their seventh straight Iowa Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (IIAC) tournament berth. Coach Sieverding secured his 123rd victory and attained UD’s first Top 25 ranking since Jon Davison was head coach (1966-‘93). The Spartans ranked as high as #23 (D3hoops.com) in the country and were one of four remaining unbeaten teams (16-0).
Unfortunately, UD’s IIAC tournament run was cut short after a first round upset vs. Luther, 87-83. The Spartans led by six at the break after shooting 61.3%, but cooled off in the second and were outscored by 10. First Team All-IIAC selection Andre Norris scored 21 points to go along with six rebounds and six assists while shooting 4 of 7 from three-point land. Departing senior Chris Frazier totaled 16 points on 4-for-9 three-point shooting and Gage Heffernan tallied 14 points. Both teams hit 12 threes but Luther held the advantage at the free throw line, 15-17, compared to UD’s 7-11.
After a 21-1, 9-1 IIAC start that included five double-digit IIAC victories, the Spartans hit a rough patch and dropped three of their last four games by a combined nine points. UD would right the ship with a 72-66 win in their final regular season match against Luther, until the Norse exacted revenge in the IIAC tourney opener on February 27.
Norris (18.2 ppg and 6.2 rpg), who led the team in scoring for 12 games, was a threat on both ends of the floor for the Spartans. Norris finished top-5 in four individual IIAC categories that included scoring (19.2 ppg), FG% (.520), 3FG% (.444), and blocks (1.21 bpg). Norris and Heffernan (led IIAC in steals at 1.69 spg) were defensive anchors for a team that paced the IIAC in scoring defense (68.5 ppg), field goal percentage defense (.405), and three-point percentage defense (.279).
The three-point sniper, senior Frazier, ended up second in the IIAC with 36 three point makes and was also one of UD’s best perimeter threats defensively. Frazier concluded his career 13th on the all-time scoring list with 1188 total points. The Ironman missed just two games in his entire four-year career and earned three All-IIAC honors (2013-14 1st team, 2012-13 2nd, 2011-12 HM). The Heidelberg, Germany native finished the season averaging 13.7 ppg, 2.5 rpg, and 1.7 apg.
Fellow senior Mitch Michaelis also finished his four-year career as UD’s 22nd 1000-point scorer and secured 17th place all-time in UD history with 1163 points. Michaelis led the team in scoring once and rebounding six times throughout the year. The two-time All-IIAC honoree (2012-13 2nd team and 2011-12 HM) averaged 8.2 ppg and 4.3 rpg.
