This is the year which coach Mike Miller's built to since he took the Panthers' program over five years ago.

Eastern Illinois returns four starters, including one of the nation's best pure shooters, and some key reserves who know their roles within Miller's system. And while the Panthers didn't recruit a lot of players, they did appear to get quality as they landed one of the best players out of the Chicago area.

The key guy is 6-foot-3 senior Romain Martin, who doesn't need a clean look to make a shot. Martin became the team's go-to man last year, averaging 15.4 points per game and moving up to fifth on the school's all-time list in made 3-pointers with 190.
