The Jackets are coming off of one of their most successful seasons in recent years. A year ago, they had wins over basketball’s biggest blue bloods: Kentucky, North Carolina and Duke. Their historic season included being crowned ACC Champions and earning an NCAA tournament bid, each for the first time in ten years.
However, last year’s team was led by Jose Alvarado and Moses Wright, each of whom moved to the NBA following the season. This has opened the door for younger players such as Michael Devoe, who has already been a leader for the team, as well as some of the returning seniors, like Bubba Parham and Jordan Usher, to take on an even bigger role this season.
