Outlook: The Saints should make some noise in their first season in the MVC. But while a strong halfcourt offense took the Saints to Augusta last year, they hope to return with more of a full-court attack. Defensively, they will look to apply more full-court pressure as well. Day, a transfer from Hall-Dale, will give them some points in the paint, but the plan is to run to take advantage of their speed and their outside shooting by spreading the floor. Keaney averaged 9.5 ppg as a freshman and will be one of the top players in Class C. 
Coach’s comment: “Our whole offensive philosophy has changed. We really want to play more up-tempo and look to get out in our primary break.” – Coach Ryan Deschenes
