Still the expectations are the same - win a SWAC and Region 18 Championship and get to Hutchinson, Kan., for the NJCAA National Tournament. CSI met those three goals last season but fell short of their journey to repeat its 2011 NJCAA National Cham- pionship. Two players return to this year’s squad and will look to share the tradition of winning that is CSI Basketball. It’s difficult to fully teach newcomers the challenges that playing in the Scenic West Athletic Conference brings but CSI head coach Steve Gosar added four sophomore transfers to this year’s squad to give the young Golden Eagle team some added maturity and experience. Add to that a very difficult pre-season schedule where CSI plays No. 5-ranked Indian Hills, No. 11 Casper College and No. 12 Monroe College and the Golden Eagles should be ready for the level of play when they start their conference schedule. “I really like the balance, depth, basketball IQ and character on this team,” Gosar said. “With the types of players we have, I think we can do more on both sides of the ball. So we will.” Sebastien Michineau is CSI’s only returning starter. The guard is joined by Jon Pulsifer as the only two with floor experience at CSI. Other guards Gosar will look to include Montigo Alford (a red-shirt freshman after spending last season with a shoulder injury), Jaysean Paige (freshman from New York), James Reid (freshman from Bend, Ore.), Trevor Ritchie (sophomore transfer from Colorado School of Mines), Kareem Storey (sophomore transfer from Uni- versity of Utah), Myron Harris (freshman from Chicago, Ill.) and Zack Rosette (red-shirt freshman from Rock 4 Springs, Wyo.). “I think we have multiple guys like Sebastien, Montigo, Kareem, Darius and 2012 Outlook Trevor that can play the point guard
