The men’s basketball team, led by head coach Kelvin Sampson, will try to improve on last season with its sights set on an NCAA Tournament appearance.
After finishing with a respectable 22-10 record in 2015, the Cougars’ season came to a gut-wrenching end with a first-round loss to Tulane University in the conference tournament. Even with a respectable record, the team know there is ample room for growth.
Time for improvements
This season will be Sampson’s third year leading the Cougars, which he feels is the point in a tenure where a team starts to turn things around.
