For a squad that was 259th in the nation in defensive rebounds while ranking 183rd in the nation in points per contest, it’s safe to say that the Deacons didn’t have the best season last year statistics wise. Their record was also not appealing as they were nine games below .500 at 11-20. On top of that, they lost three of their starting players to the NBA and to another collegiate team.
That’s why the new age of Demon Deacon basketball has arrived. With so many question marks and uncertainties, here’s my prediction of the starting five for next year’s basketball team.
