The Broncos have a lot of new faces this season. Only 6 players who saw time last season return. That might not be the worst thing in the world for a team that finished 13-19. There were bright spots. Thomas Wilder leading all scorers in MAC play isn’t one of them. He is the point guard, and that’s a strong indication that the team isn’t playing offense the way it wants to. Injuries were a big reason for this.
When I talked to Coach Hawkins about the upcoming season, he stressed that a drop in Wilder’s point production doesn’t mean that he has slipped.
