Cougars new depth at point guard promising

The basketball team entered the 2014-2015 season at a disadvantage, falling shorthanded of a true point guard to lead the team. Now, they’re stacked with them.

Guard L.J. Rose was sidelined until December due to a broken foot. Cavon Baker, a transfer from Lee College, took over until his return.

Although Rose returned sooner than anticipated, he was unable to finish out the season after breaking the same foot for the third time in seven months during a conference match against Cincinnati on Feb. 21.

Shooting guard Jherrod Stiggers assisted at point for the remainder of the season.
