2012-13 NOTES Eastern Oregon University men’s basketball returns to the floor in 2012-2013 after making a fifth straight trip to the national tournament. The Mountaineers welcome seven new faces to the roster this season, after losing three key figures from last year’s team. Isaac Williams reached his 68th career wins last season faster than any coach in school history. EOU is searching for a conference title after a fourth place finish last year and two straight second place finishes the years before. KEY RETURNERS Trent Roos Anthony Brown Jason Mumm Cody Thurmond

SEASON OUTLOOK FROM COACH WILLIAMS After a season where we fell short of our potential due to injuries and poor team chemistry, I am very much looking forward to this years campaign. We have an outstanding core of players returning and a very nice mix of incoming talent. Freshman Tyler Dungannon (6’3 Wing Phoenix HS), Stuart Bartoldus (6’6 Wing, Newport HS) and Michael Hillman (6’6 Forward, Post Falls HS) are all gifted players and outstanding students. Transfers Tony Eackles Jr. (Alcorn State U.), Michael Crane (Walla Walla CC), Craig Tucker (Western Wyoming CC), JD Esters (Humbolt State U.), and Zach Anderson (Linfield College) are a very talented group of incoming student-athletes with college experience. With this class of recruits we wanted to add shooting while trying to focus on players that had experience playing in successful programs. Both Dungannon and Hillman each played for their respective state championships this season and where contributors as juniors while there teams did win it all. At the same time, Stuart Bartoldus played deep into the state tourney each of the last two seasons. The newcomers combined with former starters Cody Thurmond, Trent Roos, Anthony Brown along with the return of standout post player Jason Mumm (missed the 2012-2013 season do to injury) and a slew of experienced contributors should make for one of the deeper teams in recent memory. As always, we will be faced with the stiffest of competition during conference play. If we have compiled a group of guys that will stick together while navigating the ups and downs of the season we will be talented enough to compete with anyone in our league and therefore the nation.
