School Nickname
“Bronchos” was the nickname selected for Central Oklahoma in 1922
by Mrs. C.W. Wantland, wife of long-time UCO football coach C.W.
Wantland. The name was chosen from a number of suggestions for the
name of UCO’s football team and became the nickname for all athletic
teams at the school.
Mrs. Wantland was made an honorary member of the Letterman’s
Club as a result of selecting the nickname, becoming the first woman
admitted to that organization.
School Colors
Bronze and blue were chosen as Central Oklahoma’s school colors
early in the fall of 1895 by school president Edmund Dandridge Mur-
daugh. The first public display of the bronze and blue was in Guthrie
when a student represented UCO in the first oratorical contest ever held
in Oklahoma.

Hamilton Field House Records
Central Oklahoma plays all its home basketball games
inside Hamilton Field House, which opened its doors
on Jan. 8, 1965 when the UCO men’s team downed
intrastate rival Northeastern State 64-52.
The Bronchos have a 464-184 (.716) home record
in 51 1/2 years at Hamilton. UCO has won 292 home
games over the past 27 seasons.
Hamilton Field House was re-named from Broncho
Field House on May 1, 1993 in honor of long-time UCO
coach and athletic director Dale Hamilton, who helped
design the building in the 1960s.
The facility underwent extensive renovation before
the 2001-02 season, with new chairback seats installed
around the floor level.
Hamilton Field House is also the home facility for
the volleyball and wrestling teams and numerous other
events, including the university’s graduation ceremo-
nies, are also held in the building.

Assistant Coach
In his second year as Central
Oklahoma's assistant men's bas-
ketball coach is Cameron Hender-
son, who came to the Bronchos in
July 2015 after a highly-successful
three-year stint at Connors State
College.
Henderson helped UCO to a
16-14 record in 2015-16, with
the Bronchos tying for fifth in
the Mid-America Intercollegiate
Athletics Association and making
it to the quarterfinals of the MIAA
Tournament.
Cameron spent the last three
years as assistant coach at Connors
before coming to UCO, helping
the Cowboys go 79-18 during
that span while qualifying for the
junior college national tournament
twice.
A three-time All-State performer
at Hall High School in Little Rock,
Ark., Henderson started his college
career at Connors in 2007. He was
a two-time All-Bi-State Confer-
ence and All-Region II selection
for the Cowboys before signing
with Division I Montana State.
Henderson was a two-year let-
terman for the Bobcats and then
stayed on as a student assistant
coach. He returned to Connors as
assistant coach in 2012.
The Cowboys went 24-9 in 2012-
13, followed with a 23-7 campaign
and conference championship
in 2013-14 and then had a 32-2
record this past season while win-
ning conference and regional titles.
Connors made the national tour-
nament in 2013 and ’15, advancing
to the Elite Eight this season.
Henderson recruited the 2014
and ’15 Region II MVP award
winners and 11 players signed
with Division I schools during his
tenure at Connors.
Cam Henderson
Graduate Assistant Coach
Serving in his second year as
Central Oklahoma’s graduate assis-
tant coach is Daniel Wheeler.
Wheeler helped UCO to a
16-14 record in 2015-16, with
the Bronchos tying for fifth in
the Mid-America Intercollegiate
Athletics Association and making
it to the quarterfinals of the MIAA
Tournament.
Daniel came to the Bronchos
after spending the previous two
years as student assistant coach at
MIAA rival Missouri Western.
Wheeler worked three years
before that as student manager/as-
sistant coach at Northern Oklaho-
ma-Tonkawa, helping the Maver-
icks to a best-year 27-4 record and
conference championship during
his last season.
A native of Burden, Kan., Dan-
iel was a four-year standout in

BRONCHOBASKETBALL 2016-17 UCO Basketball Media Guide
A heavy influx of newcomers has created plenty of ques-
tions for Central Oklahoma, but second-year head coach
Tom Hankins is confident the Bronchos can challenge the
elite of the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Associa-
tion in 2016-17.
UCO has back just six players from last year’s 16-14 team
that tied for fifth in the league -- four returning letterman
and another from the season before along with a redshirt
freshman. Tennewplayersfillouttheroster,thoughseveral
talented transfers and some highly-regarded freshmen give
Hankins plenty of reasons for optimism.
“We’re extremely excited about this year,” said Hankins,
who took over the UCO reins last season after a lengthy ca-
reer as a Division I assistant coach. “We’ve got a lot of new
players and a handful of returners, but we feel good about
our guys and what they can accomplish this season.
“The cornerstone of this program is we’re going to defend
and rebound. We’re trying to improve and get better ev-
ery day and I think we’ve got a chance to compete with any
team in the conference.”
Leading the Bronchos are returning lettermen Corey Al-
pough, Josh Holliday, Jordan London and Garen Wright,
while Corbin Byford lettered in 2014-15 before missing all
but two games last year to injury.
Alpough, a 6-foot-5 senior forward with great leaping
ability, averaged 5.8 points and 2.9 rebounds a game last
season and more is expected of him this winter.
Holliday netted 6.3 points and 1.7 rebounds a contest as a
true freshman and the 5-8 guard should play an even bigger
role this season.
London capped his first-ever college game last year with
a game-winning trey at the buzzer and played in all 30
games with 15 starts, averaging 6.9 points and 2.6 rebounds
a game. The 6-1 sophomore sharpshooter nailed 44.6 per-
cent of his 3-point shots and will be a prime scoring threat
for the Bronchos this season.
Wright started in 18 of the first 24 games last year be-
fore going out with injury, averaging 10.9 points and 5.3
rebounds a contest. The multi-talented 6-4 junior has the
most UCO experience on the roster with 36 starts in 49 ca-
reer games and will counted on to provide crucial leader-
ship.
Byford appeared in 28 games with four starts two years
ago, netting 3.4 points and 2.4 rebounds an outing. He
missed all but two games last season to injury and the 6-6
senior is eager to get back on the court and show what he’s
capable of.
UCO’s only other returner is redshirt freshman Cooper
Clark, with the 6-1 guard expected to challenge for playing
time.
The Bronchos gained experience with several transfers,
highlighted by the addition of Division I move-in Jake
Hammond.
A 6-9 junior who lettered two years at Nebraska, Ham-
mond gives UCO a legitimate inside scoring force and
should make an immediate impact with his scoring, re-
bounding and shot-blocking ability.
The Bronchos gained three junior college transfers in
5-11 guard Demari Edwards, 6-8 forward Phil Hrncir and
6-7 forward Fadil Robinson.
Edwards is the leading candidate to take over at point
guard and is also a long-range shooting threat. He averaged
13.8pointsand5.1assistsagamelastseasonatConnorsState
while shooting 48.8 percent from 3-point territory. Hrncir
and Robinson are both capable of helping UCO out inside.
The Bronchos have two other seniors in 5-9 guard Mike
Hawkins and 6-3 forward Xavier Howard.
Hawkins came to UCO from St. Gregory’s and Howard is
a superb all-around athlete who is expected to help despite
having yet to play in a college game.
Rounding out the roster are four freshmen – 5-9 guard
Marquis Johnson, 6-3 forward Isaac Leggins, 6-0 guard
Braeden O’Dell and 6-4 forward Alex Ogunseye.
Johnson and Leggins led Putnam City West High School
to the Class 6A state championship last season, O’Dell av-
eraged 21.3 points a game at Marlow High School as a se-
nior and Ogunseye was an All-State pick at Sapulpa High
School. All four will push for playing time.
“We’ve got good depth at the guard position and are a
good shooting team,” Hankins said. “We will be unselfish
and we have a lot of guys capable of playing for us.
“Inexperience on the front line is a concern and we’re
not sure how good a rebounding team we will be, but that’s
something we’ll continue to work on. We’re excited about
the year and are eager to get started.”
Season Outlook
Central Oklahoma junior guard Garen Wright returns for the 2016-17
season.

Oklahoma to a thrilling 74-71 season-opening victory over
Northwestern Oklahoma on the first day of the MIAA/GAC
Challenge here Friday night.
It was the UCO head coaching debut of Tom Hankins
and the Bronchos gave him a win in dramatic fashion after
overcoming a 10-point first-half deficit and blowing a 12-point
second-half lead.
UCO 81, Northwestern 75
DURANT, Okla. (Nov. 14) – Cornell Neal and Garen
Wright scored 17 points apiece to lead Central Oklahoma
to an 81-75 win over Southeastern Oklahoma here Saturday

ing on a 9-1 run to take the lead for good en route to complet-
ing a sweep of the two-day classic after beating Northwestern
Oklahoma in overtime Friday night.
Neal went 4-of-7 from the field and hit all eight free throw
tries in his 17-point outing while adding seven rebounds
and five assists. Wright scored 17 on 6-of-10 shooting from
the field with a pair of 3-pointers and a 3-of-3 performance
from the line in addition to pulling down a career-high 11

proved fatal, but Central Oklahoma finally survived in double
overtime over Oklahoma Christian here Tuesday night.
The Bronchos prevailed 73-67 despite making just 8-of-17
foul shots (47.1 percent) in regulation. UCO made 6-of-8 free
throws (75.0 percent) in the two extra sessions.
It was the second overtime win of the young season for the

entire game before succumbing to a stunning late-game rally
in dropping a 77-73 decision to long-time rival Southwestern
Oklahoma Tuesday night at Hamilton Field House.
The Bronchos were in front for 36 of the 40 minutes and
appeared in good shape with a 73-68 lead with less than a
minute to play, but the Bulldogs reeled off nine unanswered
points in the final 47 seconds to hand UCO its first loss after a
3-0 start.
UCO 90, Oklahoma City 67
EDMOND (Nov. 27) – Jordan London scored all eight of

to spark a 12-1 run that put Central Oklahoma in front and
the Bronchos went on to a 90-67 drubbing of Oklahoma City
Friday night at Hamilton Field House on the first day of the
UCO Thanksgiving Classic.
UCO was down 45-44 early in the second before London
caught fire, hitting a layup and two 3-pointers in a one-min-
ute, 24-second span as the Bronchos sprinted out to a 56-46
lead.
The Stars never responded and UCO steadily pulled away
the rest of the game in improving to 4-1. The Bronchos
outscored OCU 50-26 in the second half after trailing 41-40 at
halftime.
Southern Nazarene 79, UCO 74
EDMOND (Nov. 28) – Garen Wright had 15 points and
a career-high 15 rebounds, but it wasn’t enough for Central

ishing just 4-of-21 (19.0 percent) from beyond the 3-point arc

in 15 rebounds --including 11 on the defensive end – and
