Season During the early season, the Cougars were blown out by some strong teams such as St.Louis and Arkansas, and played close, but mostly lost to more evenly matched opponents. When OVC play began, they came together and became a tough match, gaining upset wins at home over eventual division champion Murray State and OVC tournament champ Eastern Kentucky to go with a couple of road wins. But, as the season wound down, they lost three of the last four while still qualifying for their first OVC tournament, which ended with a first round loss. At the conclusion of the regular season, Cougars point guard Donivine Stewart was named to the Ohio Valley Conference All-Newcomer Team.http://www.ovcsports.com/news/2014/3/3/MBB_0303140606.aspx Belmont's Mann and Byrd Earn Top 2013-14 OVC Men's Basketball Honors Ohio Valley Conference 2014-03-05 2014-03-05 https://web.archive.org/web/20140305093612/http://www.ovcsports.com/news/2014/3/3/MBB_0303140606.aspx dead Roster Source = Pink background indicates returning players from 2012–13 #NamePositionHeightWeightYearHometownHigh SchoolTransfer from 1 Kris Davis Guard 6–2 190 Junior Detroit, Michigan Detroit Cass Technical 2 Maurice Wiltz Guard 6–2 190 Junior Houston, Texas Stafford HS Colorado State 3 Keaton Jackson Forward 6–10 205 Junior Vancouver, Washington Prairie High School Missouri State University–West Plains (JC) 4 Tim Johnson Guard 6–4 200 Senior Harvey, Illinois Lee Academy (ME) George Washington 5 Grant Fiorentinos Forward/Center 6–10 225 Sophomore Cape Town, West Cape, South Africa Hun School of Princeton (NJ) Tulane 10 Cameron Craig Guard 6–0 190 Junior Coffeyville, Kansas Field Kindley High School CoffeyvilleCommunity College (JC) 11 Akintoye Okunrinboye Guard 5-11 180 Junior Florissant, Missouri McCluer North High School 15 Christian Salecich Guard 6–3 190 Senior Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia Australian Institute of Sport St. Louis &Missouri Southern (DII) 20 Keaton Scheer Guard 6-5 188 Junior Germantown, Illinois Breese Central High School Southwestern Illinois College (JC) 23 Rozell Nunn Guard/Forward 6–4 205 Junior Kansas City, Kansas F.
