The Eastern Oregon University men’s basketball team returns tothe court after making their third straight trip to the national sweet16. EOU welcomes one of the finest recruiting classes in theschool’s history this year. Isaac Williams begins his second year asEastern’s head coach after leading EOU to its fourth consecutive20-win season in 2009-10.

Eastern finished one game behind Oregon Tech for the CascadeCollegiate Conference title a year ago. EOU finished the season atNo. 13 in the NAIA Div. 2 Top 25, and hosted a postseason gamefor the third straight season. The Mountaineers fell to WarnerPacific in the conference tournament semifinals, but advanced tothe semifinals for the fourth consecutive season.

EOU met Davenport (Mich.) in the first round of the NAIA Div. 2National Tournament in Point Lookout, and after trailing by doubledigits in the second half, the Mountaineers rallied for the openinground win. The nation’s third-ranked team, Indiana Wesleyan,struggled in the first half with Eastern Oregon. EOU led theWildcats at halftime, but were overcome in the second half andended the season, 23-9.

Back Court

Eastern Oregon returns only four players, three at the guard posi-tion, from last season’s 12-man roster. Thomas McCarthy is one ofthree seniors in this year’s lineup. The 6-0, 170-pound, shootingguard comes back for his final year at EOU after averaging 8.5points and 4.7 rebounds a game last season.
