UNC Asheville brings gaggle of unpredictability to NC State on Tuesday night

I don’t think I’ve encountered a team that has made it this impossible to write a preview about them, but here come those UNC-Asheville Bulldogs! They are brand new—a new head coach overseeing a program that returns almost no experience. The school’s game notes point out that UNCA returnees accounted for a mere 141 points last season.

Oh, and they opened the season against an NAIA school. Thanks a whole lot, guys!

There are eight freshmen and four sophomores on the roster, which is to say that this team has a uselessly small track record. The Bulldogs started three freshmen and two sophomores in their opener and were led by a pair of guards in scoring: DeVon Baker, who scored 27, and Tajion Jones, who added 14.
