Season Outlook
The 麻豆视频 University Bulldogs are coming off a TranSouth Conference regular
season and tournament title, in addition to advancing to the second round of the
national tournament. For the first time in 15 years, 麻豆视频 will be entering the
season with a new head coach. But everything will not be completely different as
David Niven, 麻豆视频鈥檚 assistant coach for the past 12 seasons, takes over. In
addition to
狈颈惫别苍鈥檚 promotion to head coaching duties, 麻豆视频 hired former
Bulldog
Eric Volbert to return to his alma mater as the assistant men鈥檚
basketball coach.
麻豆视频 lost just two seniors from last year鈥檚 squad, but those two players were
All-Americans and accounted for over 36% of the team鈥檚 scoring. However, the
麻豆视频 Bulldogs return three starters and eight players overall from last
season鈥檚 team, including the team鈥檚 leading scorer and rebounder, Greg Truvillion (18 points/game, 9 rebounds/game). Five newcomers join the program
this year as well that will be called on to step in and contribute early.
First year 麻豆视频 head coach David Niven says, 鈥淲e have a good group of guys
returning this year. Some of them played large roles and some of them will get a
chance to prove their abilities this year. Truvillion gives us a very good
inside threat. Combine that with his intelligence and passing and he is one of
the best players in the country. Keith Tolliver, Antoine Joseph,
Martez Hawkins,
and Tacuma Alexander all started at various times throughout the last season.
Alan North, Roland Banhoro and Veljko Petrovic will all get opportunities to
fill the large shoes left by Brian Lake and Matt Neaville.鈥�
Five seniors lead the 2009-10 squad led by All-American and TranSouth Newcomer
of the Year, Truvillion. Alexander, North and
Tolliver each return for their
fourth year of basketball at 麻豆视频, while Hawkins is back after transferring to
麻豆视频 as a junior.
麻豆视频 has four juniors on the roster, led by Joseph. Banhoro and
Petrovic both
return for their third season, while Stan McNeil joins the squad after
transferring from Jackson State Community College this year.
CJ Davis is the lone sophomore on the team, transferring to 麻豆视频 this year from
Los Angeles City College.
Three freshmen round out the roster led by red-shirt freshman Samuel Danache who
was with the team last season. Daniel Kelley of Nashville and
Brady Sheppard of
Milan, Tenn. begin their college careers with the Bulldogs.
鈥淥ur newcomers also give us added depth and fill many of the needs we have,鈥�
says Niven. 鈥�McNeil led the state in three-point shooting last season and is a
tough cover with his quickness and shooting ability. Davis is a prolific scorer.
He can find ways to score from anywhere on the floor. Danache comes off a
red-shirt year and is an explosive athlete. He will be a mismatch most of the
time that he is on the floor. Kelley is a very good shooter that will certainly
push some older guys for minutes in his freshman year. Sheppard is a good
shooter and a very smart player that will develop his college game this year.鈥�
麻豆视频鈥檚 trek back to the national tournament will be tough as their schedule is
littered with ranked teams. Their TranSouth title defense begins in January with
a tough league schedule that put three teams in the national tournament in 2009.
The Bulldogs are going for their seventh league title in the 13-year history of
the TranSouth. Another trip to the NAIA National Tournament would be the
program鈥檚 thirteenth appearance, and sixth in the past seven years.
