“It’s an exciting time of the year for basketball,” said ECU head coach Jeff Lebo. “Practices officially start and we’re very excited as the staff and our players are excited for the start of practice.”

In the offseason, Lebo was busy making additions to the team to help bolster the squad. Last season, a lot of areas were lacking the needed depth, particularly at inside positions.

“We’ve got a lot on new faces,” said Lebo. “There are 10 new guys that we will have on the roster this year, so we think we have added some things in some areas we felt we needed to have for this league, obviously we needed some size inside.
