Larry Eustacy and crew open the 2016-17 regular season against the New Mexico State Aggies Sunday at Moby Arena. The Rams look to prove the doubters wrong and get back to the NCAA tournament for the first time since the 2012-13 season. The Rams will lean heavily on redshirt senior guard Gian Clavell and senior forward Emmanuel Omogbo. Both played will in the Rams one and only preseason game with Clavell dropping in 13 points and Omogbo with 16.
These two will need to be leaders all season long but their leadership on the floor on Sunday is particularly important as the Rams have a slew of new faces.
