Fairfield men's basketball team returns a core built for a title run: 'I love the group'
Metro coaches voted Fairfield No. 1 team, Wucherpfennig top player in preseason poll
Fairfield men's basketball team returns a core built for a title run, according to head coach Chris Casey. The team has retained three players who started at least 23 games during the 2023-24 season, and another who started seven games. Declan Wucherpfennig, a 6-7, 215-pound sophomore forward, is the key player, having been named the preseason player of the year.
Wucherpfennig's work ethic and leadership have set a positive example for the team. Other returning players include Tony Williams, Halon Rawlins, Eric Mejia, Isaac Munkadi, and Peyton Smith. Casey believes the team has the talent to win the league title but emphasizes the importance of staying healthy and maintaining their intensity.
