Coach: Dwayne Cherry, 10th season (117-144)
2018-19 Record: 18-12 overall, 4-6 in CISAA
• Starting Five: Brandon Cherry, 6-0 junior guard; Knoah Carver, 6-2 junior guard (4.3 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.7 assists); Luke Gardner, 5-10 junior guard; Jordan Erwin, 6-3 junior forward; Jackson Krisko, 6-4 senior forward (8.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.5 blocks)
• Rotation Players: Jimmy Mitchell, 5-9 junior guard; Julian Williams, 6-0 senior guard (2.4 points, 2.1 rebounds)
• The Dish: The Bucs won 15 of their first 20 games last season before limping down the finish with just three wins over their final 10. However, four of their top five scorers from last season have graduated, so there is major change throughout the roster. Cherry will get the chance to play point after transferring in from Independence. Carver, an Ardrey Kell transfer, could be a star in this offense and will get every chance to produce. Gardner played sparingly last season. Both Cherry and East Meck transfer Erwin are stepping into much larger roles. Krisko is a college recruit and the centerpiece of this team after a good junior campaign. Williams showed promise last season at the point.
