2014 Outlook
Three starters are back for a Bear squad that looks to return to the Conference elite. Krasna runs the offense and is a strong rebounder despite his 6-0 frame. Draper was the 2013 Conference Rookie of the Year and looks for even better things as a soph, as does Wonderling. Vasturia and Adams are veterans in the backcourt. Ursinus will look to go back to the future with outside shooting from the wings and it remains to be seen if that signals a return to the playoffs.
