The Bearcats return 85.4% of their scoring from 2016-17 conference play, including top three scorers Willie Rodriguez (11.6 ppg), Timmy Rose (9.6 ppg) and Bobby Ahearn (8.9 ppg). Binghamton also returns 81.7% of their rebounding from 2016-17 conference play, including their top three rebounders.
Expect the Bearcats to rely on senior Willie Rodriguez, with major contributions from Bobby Ahearn, Timmy Rose, J.C. Show and Thomas Bruce. Prior to an injury ending his 2016-17 campaign, Bucknell transfer J.C. Show showed flashes for Binghamton during 12 non-conference games averaging 13.3 ppg in 28.8 minutes, including four contests in which he scored 23, 34, 21 and 22 respectively.
There's a lot that needs to be fixed on both ends of the ball for Binghamton, but the quick fix (easier said than done) is to put forth more effort on the defensive end and on the glass. America East opponents pulled down 27.5% of their offensive rebound opportunities vs the Bearcats, which placed them 7th in the 9 team league.
#20 Caleb Stewart (R-Jr) 6'9'' 195 pound forward. Transfer from Division II St. Leo University where he averaged 15.1 point and 6.0 rebounds. Shot 36% from deep, making 61 three point field goals during his sophomore season at St. Leo. Dunk Highlight
#40 Albert Odero (Fr) 6'4'' 190 pound guard/forward. Averaged 26.0 points and 10.3 rebounds during the 2016-17 season at St. John's Catholic Prep in Maryland. Athletic slasher who will be eligible to play after the fall semester. Highlight Video 1

Fun Fact
4 out of 5 Binghamton starters return (in conference play), averaging 14.25 conference games started out of a possible 16. Assume J.C. Show (if healthy) takes over for the departed Marlon Beck making this a very experienced starting five for Binghamton.
