Mens basketball media day

Basketball season is approaching, and the Mountaineers men’s basketball team held media day on Oct. 17 and were able to shed light on some of their early points of emphasis for the season.

The team finished 15-18 overall and 9-9 in Sun Belt play, which was good for a sixth place finish in the conference.

“It’s great to be back,” head coach Jim Fox said. “Our guys have been working extremely hard since the end of last season.”

The Mountaineers are returning 13 players including four out of five starters. They are led by All-Sun Belt senior guard Ronshad Shabazz, who led the team in scoring and assists.
