Clemmye Owens scored 22 points, and Maurice Taylor doubled-doubled (18 points, 14 rebounds ) for the second straight game, but it wasn’t enough to keep the Wildcats’ season ending with a 7-25 record. Michael Murray scored 24 points as the Eagles (11-19) scored the final seven points and advanced to Wednesday’s quarterfinals against Hampton. Bethune-Cookman managed a 68-68 tie on an Owens lay-up with 2:17 to go, but didn’t score again. Taylor’s 14 rebounds was a B-CU MEAC tournament game record, eclipsing the old mark of 12 set by Michael Williams against Morgan State in 2003. Freshman point guard Tony Kynard’s nine assists was also a B-CU tournament record, eclipsing the eight of Johnny McClenton against Howard in 2008.

We needed to get better, bigger and deeper at each position,” Craig said. “When we went recruiting, I told our coaches we needed to recruit starters. The guys we brought in have a chance to start.” Last season’s experiences included a 17-game losing streak and finishing out the year with just eight healthy players. While “looking forward to putting last year behind us”, Craig did find Ricky Johnson returns after missing most of the 2013-14 some silver linings. season with concussion-related symptoms. “If you look at the positives, we got some people experience,” Craig said. “I have probably five guys who started last year who may not start this year. “We expect good things form all our new guys,” Craig added. “We recruited starters at every position. We have a lot of team competition.” One of the most touted newcomers is 6-foot-8 junior power forward/center and Toledo transfer Delino Dear. He can play either the four or five spot on the floor,” Craig said. Newcomers Denzil Dulin (Dundalk CC) and Jeffon Powell (Cecil CC) have also impressed the coaching staff. Returning guards Ricky Johnson and Mikel Trapp are excited about their new teammates. “They will make a big impact,” Johnson said. “We have no freshmen, and these guys all played elsewhere. We have more of a post presence as well.” “It was a basketball decision to come here. This is a great opportunity,” said Dear. “I can score on the block, which can open “We have a lot more size, which will address our weakness from lanes for shooters. I bring leadership, experience and energy.” a year ago, which was rebounding,” added Trapp. “He adds size and offense which is needed in this league. He Johnson missed most of last season with concussion-related gives us an inside presence and depth that we have lacked. symptoms. “It feels great to be able to play the game that you love,” Johnson said. “It’s great to be able to lace-up my sneakers and be a part of the team.” “He is back healthy and looking good. He is an experienced player that knows our system. He is another coach on the floor,” Craig said of Johnson. Craig may use Trapp, who was named Second Team Preseason All-Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, in ways other than for his three-point shooting. “I might play him at the point some,” Craig said. “He knows what we’re doing.” Clemmye Owens led the Wildcats in scoring last along with Mikel Trapp. Trapp welcomes the additional responsibility. 2014-15 PREVIEW (CONTINUED) ODDS AND ENDS DUNKS CHARGES TAKEN SCORED FIRST POINTS FIRST OFF THE BENCH CONSECUTIVE GAMES WITH 3FG Travis Elliott CONSECUTIVE DOUBLE FIGURE SCORING “I just go out there and do whatever is needed,” he said. B-CU also returns sophomore guard Clemmye Owens who was an All-MEAC rookie selection, and led the team in scoring last season with an average of 11.3 points per game. CONSECUTIVE DOUBLE FIGURE REBOUNDING “He has gotten better,” Craig said of Owens. “He grasps everything better, and he is taking better shots. He’s becoming more efficient. You can see the difference.” Senior guard Maurice Taylor, sophomore guard Tony Kynard and senior center Travis Elliott also return to the B-CU lineup. They, along with newcomers 6-foot-6 junior forward Quinton Brewer (Gordon CC) and 7-foot graduate center Ugo Okam (Harvard) round out an experienced roster. The Wildcats were picked to finish 10th in the MEAC this season. “It’s a catch-22,” Craig said. “I think it’s easier to motivate the players. I would be motivated either way. We can use this to show the team what people think of them. The players have incentive,” commented Craig. The Wildcats' season may come down to two things. “We need to stay healthy, and we need guys to step up,” said Craig. #BCUhoops IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY...DRINK POWERADE LIKE IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY: Three Wildcats have in-season birthdays: Delino Dear 11/15 Troy Simmons 2/17 Ricky Johnson 2/17 BACK IN THE DAY…. NOVEMBER 15, 2012: Bethune-Cookman 71, New Orleans 65 — Adrien Coleman had a 20-point, 10rebound double-double, and Alex Smith scored 10 of his 14 points in the second half as Bethune-Cookman rallied for a 71-65 road victory over New Orleans at Lakefront Arena. It was B-CU’s its first nonconference road victory since a December 2008 win at Jacksonville. NOVEMBER 15, 2009: Old Dominion 69, B-CU 38 NOVEMBER 15, 2007: Purdue 66, B-CU 40 CATS OVERSEAS…. Former Bethune-Cookman basketball standouts Adrien Coleman and Garrius Holloman reconfirmed on October 9 what that Disney World ride has been saying all these years. THERE’S NOTHING WRONG WITH OHIO, EXCEPT THE SNOW AND THE RAIN: In addition to producing four NBA Hall of Famers and a shooting certain guard for the Cleveland Cavaliers, Ohio has also been a strong recruiting area for the current B-CU basketball team. In addition, the coaching staff and support staff has connections to the Buckeye State: It IS a small world, after all, when former teammates from a small HBCU are on the same basketball court again literally an ocean away from home facing off in Finland. AKRON (1) Ricky Johnson (St. Vincent-St. Mary HS) Holloman posted a double-double of 30 points and 10 rebounds for Lappeenranta NMKY, while Coleman had 17 points and seven rebounds for Korihait, who trailed by three after the first period but pulled in the third quarter. CLEVELAND (2) Head Coach Gravelle Craig Played at Cleveland State 1991-94 Basketball SID Dan Ryan: Served LDS Mission In Ohio Cleveland Mission 1988-90 Since that meeting, Holloman has rejoined Kataja Basket, a team in the Korisliiga, Finland’s top league, for the Euro Challenge. Coleman and Korihait are undefeated (8-0) in the First Division. STARLING DOWN UNDER: After his quest to play Australian football was sidelined, and then having the coach who signed him to play basketball dismissed, Starling’s resolve – added with his basketball ability – has resulted in him making Central Australian Basketball League (CABL) history for his Woodville Warrior club. Starling, in addition to being named league MVP by the players, became the first Woodville player to receive the league’s highest honor – the Woollacott Medal, voted on by the league’s referees to recognize the “fairest and most brilliant player” at the State League level. He capped off the season with a 36-point, six-rebound effort as the Warriors claimed the CABL championship with an 80-78 win over the West Adelaide Bearcats.

Mary McLeod Bethune founded the Daytona Educational and Industrial Training School in 1904. The school underwent several stages of growth and development through the years and in 1923, it merged with the Cookman Institute of Jacksonville, Florida and became a co-ed high school. A year later in 1924, it became affiliated with the Methodist Church. By 1931, the school had become a junior college. Bethune was a key figure in the development of the Civil Rights movement. She helped paved the way for Jackie Robinson to play his first spring training game in Daytona Beach in 1946 the year before he broke the modern Major League color barrier. The school became a four-year college in 1941. On February 14, 2007, the Board of Trustees approved the name Bethune-Cookman University after the institution established its first graduate program. FAMOUS ALUMNI Larry Little, NFL Hall of Famer and member of the Miami Dolphins’ famed 1972 perfect season team John Chaney, former Temple University basketball coach Nick Collins, who scored a touchdown for the Green Bay Packers in Super Bowl XLV Three current NFL players — Rashean Mathis (Lions), Eric Weems (Falcons) and Ryan Davis (Jaguars). NBA Referee Eric Lewis, who is married to B-CU Women’s Head Basketball Coach Vanessa Blair-Lewis The mothers of NBA All-Stars Vince Carter (Michelle Carter-Scott) and Shaquille O’Neal (Lucille Harrison). Vince Carter’s restaurant is a sponsor of the B-CU athletic program. YES, THAT WAS OUR BAND: Bethune-Cookman’s famed Marching Wildcat Band became a viral sensation earlier thus year after its encounter with Carolina Panthers kicker Graham Gano at halftime of a Tampa Bay Bucs game. Gano would later invite the band member he pushed to a Panthers game in Atlanta. The band’s greater claims to fame include an appearance in the movie Drumline, a national Cadillac commercial and the Ellen DeGeneres show, just to name a few.
