The Bears returned only one starter from last season and lost a double-figure scorer in 6-4 De’Torrion Ware, who was initially expected to return for a fifth season but did not for unexplained reasons. Miller has become the Bears’ leading threat along with guard Isaiah Burke, a key reserve last season.
He said it: “They’re aggressive, they’re active and they’re pretty handsy . They can pressure you, they can trap, they can come at you a number of ways. They’re aggressive on the ball. “They’ve been off for because of exams so sometimes that really gives you a chance to recharge your batteries and get after it.”A second-team preseason all-MEAC pick, Miller is a relentless presence on the glass at just 6-foot-4, with the 144st best offensive rebounding percentage in Division I competition, grabbing teammates’ misses 11.7% of the time when he’s on the floor. He also has a 18.8 defensive rebounding percentage and has evolved into an improved scoring threat.
“I understand the connection everybody's trying to make, but when you sit in my seat and you're trying to drive a culture, standards…” Lloyd said after Tuesday’s game. “We’ve got to meet those standards, no matter who we're playing. I mean, come on, the college guys play 35-40 games , if they're lucky. You’ve got to be excited to play.
“The biggest thing is regardless of who we play, whether they're Tennessee or Montana State, they’re still good teams,” forward Cedric Henderson said. “We can't come out flat and that's what we did. It’s kind of like a trap game. You have the big name and then you turn around and play the team that you're like, `Oh, this should be an easy one.’ But they're all good teams. We play good teams. They’re good players.
