The Suns, under Coach Jake Deer, reached the NCCAA D-II national tournament for the first time last season after clinching the South Region championship.

The Suns are led by point guard Montigue Lynch and small forward A.J. Williams along with senior center Alex Wierda.

Kaleb Baker, a 6-7 power forward, is one of the promising newcomers.
