THE GOOD NEWS
There really isn't much, although that could change if Cameron Tyler is able to get over his academic woes and play next season. The Knights have some good young players, and Sean Baptiste, who has two years left, could be an impact player in this league. Forward John Galvin, who missed the stretch run with a concussion, should be a factor.

THE BAD NEWS
Manny Ubilla, who led the team in scoring and was always a threat, is gone, along with Joel Hazard and Bernell Murray. That means the Knights are losing 40.4 points, 13.3 rebounds per game, plus 239 total assists. Then again, FDU went 8-20 WITH those guys.

KEY RETURNEES
G Sean Baptiste emerged as one of the best offensive players in the league and heads the cast for next year; unless Cameron Tyler returns from his academic problems. He's a key to next season. F DeJuan Pursley wound up averaging 5.3 points and 3.9 rebounds per game.

ROSTER REPORT
