14. Greg Lansing, Indiana State

Goodwill from four postseason appearances earlier in his tenure can only get Lansing so far, as its been a tough go in Terra Haute over the past three years.

Following a successful stint as an assistant with Iowa, Lansing got off to a great start by leading the 2010-11 Sycamores to a 20-14 record along with their first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2001.

Indiana State turned in a pair of 18-15 campaigns over the next two years resulting in postseason berths, although it fell short of a return trip to the Big Dance. The 2013-14 Sycamores looked to be in business with a 23-11 mark, only to be blown out in the MVC Tournament Championship Game by Wichita State and trounced in the first round of the NIT by Arkansas.

Lansing’s teams have fallen off considerably since with a combined 41-53 record since, and have not gone over .500 in any individual campaign. Last season’s 11-20 mark was Indiana State’s worst in a decade, as it slipped all the way to last place in the MVC with a first round loss to Evansville.

The Sycamores lost four players to graduation and two to transfer this offseason, leaving leading scorer Brenton Scott as the only returning player to average over seven points per game last year. Indiana State is projected to finish eighth in the MVC, and could move in a different direction if Lansing doesn’t exceed those low expectations.
