The Division I Kennesaw State Owls hope to pass, dribble, and shoot their way to victory in the 2011–12 season under the tutelage of new head coach Lewis Preston. Senior guard Spencer Dixon had the distinction of being KSU’s all-time steal leader during the 2010–11 season, staking his claim in the January 18 game against Jacksonville, and junior guard Markeith Cummings was named the 2011-12 Atlantic Sun Conference Preseason Player of the Year. Just over six years old, the 4,600-seat KSU Convocation Center hosts games with fresh-faced pizzazz, retaining its new-court scent and lack of haunting by vengeful, deflated balls.
