% returning scoring and rebounding:

Scoring: 70 percent
Rebounding: 62.5 percent

Most of the Titans’ roster returns this fall.

Additions:

One new recruit and one transfer join the Titans’ squad this fall. Two-star recruit Alvin (P.J.) Boutte, a guard from Indianapolis, will provide depth at the point guard position. Junior college transfer Doug Anderson, a Top 40 Juco recruit, joins the Titans from Mott Community College and will play forward.

Schedule highlights:

The Titans’ biggest nonconference matchup occurs in the first game of the season, when the Titans square off against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. During Horizon League play, the Titans have two tough stretches during which they will play Valparaiso, Green Bay and Butler.

Prediction: The Titans will finish third. Eli Holman’s indefinite suspension keeps the Titans from being ranked second.

Next: Green Bay Phoenix
