Western Michigan Broncos Basketball Tickets

Coach Steve Hawkins has had his Broncos in contention for the conference title in each of his first two seasons. He won the conference title in his first season and then led the Broncos to a 20-13 record and a second-round appearance in the NIT this past season.
However, the Broncos must successfully replace their top two scorers if they intend to continue dieir winning ways. Hawkins is excited about a highly rated freshman class but admits the bulk of production will still have to come from the returning core of players.
"We have a good group of newcomers—they are talented, but they are young," Hawkins says.
Senior guard Brian Snider will be counted on for added scoring this season.
"What Brian does is tough to really put into words," Hawkins says. "He's a winner. He's capable of so many things, and I think you will see more of him this season."
Stane's Bufford scored 7.3 points per game as a junior, but Hawkins says the 6'5" swing-man should contribute more this season.
Rebounding wasn't a concern last year—the Broncos had four players average over five boards per game, but two of those players are gone. Sophomore center Joe Reitz averaged 9.4 points and 5.5 rebounds and reminds WMU fans of former Bronco standout Anthony Kann.
