After going 10-8 in the Sun Belt Conference regular season last year to tie for sixth in the 12-team league, the Coastal Carolina men’s basketball team has its sights set on finishing in the top half of the conference this year.
The quest began Friday with the first day of practice for the 2017-18 season. “Opening day is the most fun part,” head coach Cliff Ellis said. “I mean, everybody is excited. You’re ready to get it going. You’re anxious to see what some of the new players can do.”
Ellis is starting his 10th season at the helm of the Chanticleers and is one win away from 200 at Coastal with a 199-129 record.
