Noting College of CharlestonOff to a 1-1 start this year, the Cougars went 27-9 (15-5 SoCON) last season and finished second behind Davidson in the Southern Conferences South Division Fourth-year coach Bobby Cremins has his club in position to challenge for the South Division and overall conference crown this season, as Charleston boasts arguably the top backcourt in its league Cremins has more than 500 career wins to his credit, with the majority com-ing at Georgia Tech (354) He led the Cougars to the second round of the CBI last year and returns virtually his entire veteran backcourt intact Junior guard and team leader Andrew Goudelock (18.5 ppg, 2.5 rpg, 3.0 apg) is an All-SoCON can-didate and one of the top all-around shooters in the conference Goudelock shot .459 from the floor and .440 from 3-point range last season while making better than 86 percent of his free throws Senior point guard Tony White Jr. (10.5 ppg, 4.5 rpg, 2.0 apg) is the son of former Vols All-America and All-Century Team member Tony White (1984-87) White Sr. is UTs third all-time leading scorer with 2,219 career points (sixth in SEC history) White Jr. graduated from Knoxvilles Bearden High School and has played against many current Vols during summer action in Knoxvilles Pilot Rocky Top League Cremins called White Jr. an amazing story. He was my first recruit when I came here. I thought I was going to redshirt him, but he was too good to sit. Talented wing Antwaine Wiggins (2008-09: 8.3 ppg, 3.9 rpg) starred as a prep player at Greeneville High School in East Tennessee before signing with CofC Donovan Monroe (8.5 ppg, 6.5 rpg, 3.0 spg) rounds out the Cougars potent backcourt Jeremy Simmons (14.0 ppg, 9.0 rpg, 2.0 bpg) is CofCs most experienced post man and will be complemented by 6-8 senior Casaan Breeden (4.5 ppg, 2.5 rpg), who transferred from Florida State and sat out last season.
