Miller plans to turn around the program at Brown by implementing a motion offense and an aggressive pressure defense this season. He hopes to accomplish this with the help of another newcomer, sophomore guard Jihan Bowes-Little, who averaged 21.0 ppg and 6.0 apg at the University of Portland before transferring to Providence.

Miller will likely use a three-guard rotation in his up-tempo offensive scheme. Senior point guard Corey Vandiver (6.5 ppg, 80 assists), a two-year starter, and sophomore Travis Brown (7.5 ppg, 3.4 rpg), who started as a rookie and shot a .423 three-point percentage last year, should join Bowes-Little in the backcourt.

Miller will need a lot of bodies if he plans to maintain a pressure defense, so sophomores Jesse Wood (3.7 ppg, 1.2 rpg) and Omari Ware (1.9 ppg, 2.0 rpg) should be part of the backcourt rotation.

Inside, Miller will rely on a pair of sophomore forwards who saw significant playing time last year in Shaun Etheridge (8.3 ppg, 5.2 rpg) and Josh Meyer (5.8 ppg, 2.2 rpg). It is unclear who will replace Rountree at center, but sophomore John Verdeaux (0.7 ppg, 1.5 rpg) and junior Tyler Driggers (0.5 ppg, 0.9 rpg) will compete for the job.

Miller should also give plenty of minutes to a pair of freshmen forwards in Earl Hunt and Alaivaa Nuualiitia.

7. Yale

The Elis (4-22, 2-12, tied-7th) had the same record as the Bears, so it should be no surprise that Yale also followed Brown in hiring a new head coach, James Jones. Yale has beaten either Princeton or Penn in each of the last four seasons, but there haven't been many wins in between those upsets.

The Bulldogs' strength will be in the backcourt. Junior point guard Isaiah Cavaco (6.9 ppg, 72 assists) will be the floor leader, and sophomore shooting guard Onaje Woodbine (9.5 ppg, .303 three-point percentage) also started last season.
