            Kohnke led the Mustangs to a 22-6 record in the regular season, an 11-0 record at home and a 12-2 record in the AMC. He is the first coach to win Coach of the Year in men's basketball for the Mustangs after they won the outright AMC regular season championship for the first time in program history.

He also finished with 23 steals.

            Savaughn Smith earned an All-Freshman Team selection. He made 12 starts in 25 contests and averaged 4.0 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game while playing the seventh most minutes on the team with 415.
