NORFOLK, Virginia -- After transferring to Bethune-Cookman from the University of Nebraska two years ago, Adrien Coleman's confidence was at an all-time low.
He knew he would have to sit out his first year at B-CU in 2010-11 after not playing as a freshman at Nebraska. As an attempt at self-motivation, the 6-foot-5 forward scribbled down some goals on a blue sheet of paper, stuck it in a drawer and eventually forgot about it.
Recently, Coleman ran across that note and read the brief list: 17 points a game, 6 rebounds a game, make the NCAA tournament.
The redshirt junior won this season's Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference scoring title with an average of 17.6 points. He also averaged 7.1 rebounds, fifth in the conference.
Now there's just one more item left to accomplish on the list.
Although winning this week's MEAC tournament to gain an NCAA bid seems like a tall task for the eighth-seeded Wildcats (12-19, 7-9), Coleman sees no reason why he can't go 3 for 3 in his predictions.
