DAYTONA BEACH, Florida — The good news for Bethune-Cookman's basketball team is it returns leading scorers Kevin Dukes and Adrien Coleman, who averaged more than 23 points between them last year.The bad news is the Wildcats lost big men Anthony Breeze and Garrius Holloman, who averaged more than 20 points and 10 rebounds between them.
But with the help of some newcomers and the improvement of some returning players, second-year coach Gravelle Craig expects the Wildcats to compete again for the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference championship.
Last year, B-CU finished fourth in the conference at 11-5 (18-17 overall) but came within two missed shots in the final 5 seconds of beating Norfolk State in the MEAC tournament championship game, falling 73-70.
