This past season for Vandal men’s basketball was nearly unbearable.
The team had an overall 5-27 record, exactly opposite of last season, going 22-9 and finishing second in the Big Sky Conference.
The 2018-2019 season was by far the worst under head coach Don Verlin.
But, that’s the beauty of optimism. The team can only go up from here — at least fans can hope. But it won’t be easy.
The Vandals could be losing as many as five out of 13 players to the transfer route, including freshman guard Cameron Tyson who set the Big Sky Conference freshman record for threes made in a season.
