Head Coach J.P. Piper, who is entering his fourth at the helm, and he has yet to lead the Colonels to a double digit win season. They return four starters but lose their best player from last year, Stefan Blaszczynski. This backcourt could be Piper’s best yet, but the key is how well they defend in the paint against teams that are physically superior down low.

Four returning starters but numerous production issues. This is a program that doesn’t know how to win and that will not change. Can they get to double digits, yes 12 wins.
