COLUMBIA, Missouri — During his seven-plus seasons as head coach of the Arkansas-Pine Bluff men's basketball team, George Ivory has achievements to hang his hat on.
Ivory won the Southwestern Athletic Conference Tournament championship for the first time in school history in 2010. His team went on to defeat Winthrop University in a play-in game in the NCAA Tournament that season.
There is one more thing Ivory is looking to accomplish next season, however. He wants a nonconference home game. Since Ivory became head coach in 2008, Arkansas-Pine Bluff has never hosted a team during nonconference play.
That includes this season. Arkansas-Pine Bluff (2-11) has opened the season with 14 consecutive nonconference games away from home. The Golden Lions wrap up this elongated road trip at Mizzou Arena on Tuesday when they take on Missouri (5-6).
