Just like the Dukes, the Tigers decided to make a coaching change at the end of last season. Out is former coach Michael Hunt and in comes Pat Kennedy from Montana. Kennedy is just what this struggling program needs, as he will have the Tigers playing with enthusiasm and should prove to be one of the better recruiters in the conference. However, it will take time for Kennedy to completely turn this program around, which has won just 12 combined games over the last two years and finished a horrific 4-14 in league play last season. The backcourt should be the strength of this year's squad, with Mike Green (10.2 ppg, 4.9 rpg, 4.4 apg) returning and juco point guard Cantrell Fletcher showcasing his ability to distribute the ball. Forward Lawrence Hamm is the one true option that the Tigers have in the low post, having averaged 10 ppg and 5.3 rpg. Kennedy will get his squad to play up-tempo and faster than they have over the past few seasons, but the talent just isn't there yet and a last place finish could be in the cards.
