SIUE’s Lytle Tabbed Preseason All-American
Dan Lytle (Edwardsville) is an All-American even before he steps out onto the court for the first time as a Southern Illinois University Edwardsville men’s basketball player.
Lytle, who transferred from the University of Evansville to complete his final season of eligibility in his hometown, was named to Street and Smith Magazine’s Preseason All-American list as an honorable mention honoree.
“This is a testament to what he did at Evansville and to what people think he can do for us here at SIUE,” said SIUE Coach Marty Simmons.
Street and Smith also tabbed two fellow Great Lakes Valley Conference schools among the 10 best in the nation. Southern Indiana was picked at No. 3 while Kentucky Wesleyan was selected ninth.
The Cougars officially begin practice on Oct. 15. The team’s first contest is an exhibition game at Bradley on Tuesday, Nov. 13. The 2003-2004 season opens with a home game at the Vadalabene Center on Nov. 19.
