The Grant Era officially begins on November 14, 2014 as the Cougars open the regular-season at Furman at 8 p.m. (ET).
It’s been a big week for the Cougars with new Head Coach Earl Grant notching his first win against Emory in an exhibition game on November 8. Grant unveiled a free-flowing Cougar offensive team which limited pre-determined set plays and invited quick transitions after defensive stops, giving the players more dictation on the court.

Coach Grant is already working to build his team – on the first day of the signing period, Grant signed two guards. The Cougars will welcome six-foot, 185-pound point guard Marquise Pointer out of Jonesboro Senior High School in Jonesboro, Ark., and 6-foot-3, 165-pound shooting guard Grant Riller out of Ocoee High School in Ocoee, Fla., next season.
