Team Overview:
Highly touted junior college transfer D'Angelo Jackson is expected to push veteran Kevin Burwell at the point guard spot, where Coastal Carolina transfer Joshua Mack could also figure into the mix.
Also back for the Devils are juniors Julius Cheeks and Shannon Behling and sophomore Tashan Newsome, giving Head Coach Sean Woods plenty of options in his rotation.
Cheeks improved as the season progressed last year, upping his scoring average in league play as well as shooting better from the field, the 3-point line and the free-throw line against conference opponents. Behling was the Devils' most prolific 3-point shooter, taking the most attempts (166) on the team from beyond the arc and burying 57 of them (34.3 percent).
Team Leaders:
Points: Shannon Behling 10.4
Assists: Julius Cheeks 1.6
Rebounds: Shannon Behling 5.3
Best Player:
Shannon Behling F 6-7 200 SR
Behling led the Delta Devils in Rebounding last season despite his slight frame. He is the leading returning scorer on this team and a Senior.
My Take:
DOMINATION. This will be a nice tune up for Michigan State and should show everyone who will take charge of the Zags. I fully expect the Zags to win this one easily and am more concerned with the hit our RPI will take with a game like this on our schedule. Here's hoping this one doesn't hurt our seeding come March.
Final Score: Gonzaga 95 Mississippi Valley St. 45
