The 2017-18 Men’s basketball season is just a few weeks away, and all eyes are on the 49ers. Coming off of a 13-17 (C-USA 7-11) season filled with high offensive triumphs, defensive struggles and a first round exit from the Conference USA tournament, the 49ers look to make some changes. The 2016-17 season was the year Coach Price was able to truly begin to mold the program in his image, this year he seeks to reap the benefits.
The theme of last season, without a doubt, was transfers. This year, the name of the game is freshmen. With incoming first years such as 6-foot-2 wing Jaylan McGill, 6-foot-9 forward Bryant Thomas, and forward Milos Supica walking into the program, a new wave of energy is on the horizon for Niner Nation.
