2017 Outlook
Preseason Prediction: 6th
Want a sleeper team to watch this season? Look no farther than Collegeville. The Bears welcome back four starters that are ready to see the fruits of their labor rewarded. Knowles was in the midst of a breakthrough season, averging 16.2 points per game, before an injury prematurely ended his season. LoStracco and Janicot are two-year starters that combined for 19.9 points and 15.2 rebounds per contest a year ago, while Rafferty contributed 9.1 points, 4.4 rebounds and 4.4 assists to lead the Conference. Eric Williams comes off the bench as one of the top long-range shooters in the Centennial and averaged 11.6 ppg, while Matt Williams (no relation) had a strong rookie season. Mekongo provides experience and depth inside, while a tall freshman class could also contribute.
