UNIONTOWN, Pa. - The Illinois Tech men's basketball team earned even more honors at Tuesday's United States Collegiate Athletic Association banquet. Head Coach Todd Kelly was named USCAA Division I Men's Basketball Coach of the Year.

Under Kelly's guidance, the Scarlet Hawks finished the regular season with a 18-7 record. Tech has amassed 40 wins over the last two seasons after taking over a winless program before the 2014-15 season, engineering one of the largest and fastest turnarounds across all levels of college basketball. Kelly has coached nine USCAA All-Americans in his four-year tenure, including three this year. 

The Scarlet Hawks take on #5 Rochester College tomorrow at 4:00 p.m. eastern time (3:00 p.m. central time). Live audio, video, and stats will be available courtesy of the USCAA.
