Fresno State Bulldogs Basketball Tickets

More than anything, Fresno State is looking for some stability out of its program after coming off two straight seasons of off-the-court problems and NCAA violations.
Former BYLJ coach Steve Cleveland, a Fresno native, is now at the helm, and the first-year coach will be hoping his talented backcourt can carry a Bulldog team that has some frontcourt issues.
Fresno State lost center Mustafa Al-Sayyad to graduation, and the only real size returning is 6'9" forward Hector Hernandez. Cleveland will need help from newcomers James Tchana (6'8", 275) and Renato Cesar (6'9", 230). The Bulldogs lost prep recruit Eric Van Vliet (6'10", 250), who had signed with the team prior to last season but then asked to be released from his scholarship during the coaching change. He landed at Montana.
One player who should make an immediate impact is versatile forward Quinton Hosley, a former junior college All-American. And the Bulldogs do have talented guard Ja'Vance Cole-man, who arrived on the scene last year to average 16.9 points per game. The flashy shooting guard will have some talent around him in sharpshooter Donovan Morris, who averaged 11.7 points last year and connected at a 43 percent clip from behind the arc.
Cleveland will need to find a dependable point guard, and he has two likely candidates in Kevin Bell and Dekyron Nicks. Bell was a part-time starter a year ago who had a 2-to-l assist-to-turnover ratio, while Nicks averaged 11.2 assists in junior college.
