The Titans can only hope they will be able to duplicate last year's overall mark of 11-17. Coach Bob Burton will not have one of the nation's top centers back in the fold this season, as Pape Sow (first-team All-Conference selection in 2003-04) and his 17.3 ppg and 9.7 rpg have moved on to the NBA. Conference Freshman of the Year Bobby Brown remains for this squad and should easily improve upon his 13.2 ppg and 40.2 percent shooting from the floor. Brown should garner all-conference honors this year, having shown that he can be a threat from long range (.402) and an excellent passer (3.5 apg). The Titans should also get a boost from the return of Ralphy Holmes, who was ruled ineligible last season. Holmes will probably not be back with the team until December, but he was outstanding for the Titans in 2002-03, scoring 16.8 ppg and grabbing 6.0 rpg. However, the return of another impressive scoring option does not truly help the problem that has plagued this team over the past few seasons, which is a lack of defensive stopping power. Last year, CS-Fullerton gave up 73.2 ppg to its opponents and it let them shoot 46.3 percent from the floor and 38.4 percent from three-point land.
