MACON, Ga. – The Kennesaw State Owls men’s basketball team has been picked to finish fifth in the Atlantic Sun Conference by both the media and the conference coaches, the A-Sun announced on Wednesday. Owls sophomore Markeith Cummings was a unanimous selection for the Preseason All A-Sun Team.
The Owls, who compiled a 13-20 overall record last season, including a 7-13 mark in A-Sun play. They qualified for the A-Sun Tournament in their first year of eligibility last season, and made history when, as the No. 8 seed, they shocked top-seeded Lipscomb, 72-69, in the quarterfinals to become the first No. 8 seed to beat a No. 1 seed in the A-Sun Tournament since 2000.
Cummings shined in his first season of collegiate ball, leading the team in scoring and finishing fourth in the conference and third nationally among freshmen at 17.4 points per game. His rookie campaign was impressive enough to land him All A-Sun Second Team and All-Freshman recognition.
The Owls kick off their season on Friday, Nov. 12, when they take on Georgia Southwestern at 7:30 p.m. in the KSU Convocation Center.
