Steve Victory JOURNAL - Season THREE (2005-06)

Here's the kind of man Steve Victory is: He ditches Central Florida in a flash, then calls a few weeks later to schedule a game with them as the new coach at the College of Charleston. UCF officials stammer, then say yes. Then Charleston bumps them off the schedule a few weeks after that in favor of a regional rivalry game with South Carolina... Oh well...

Victory's first game as the Cougars' new coach goes perfectly. Charleston destroys visiting Lehigh 94-56. All five starters score at least 13 points. At last, a team that can score!

In game two, the Cougars hang right with #18 Rutgers before falling late 84-81. SF Johnson scores 27 points. "It's never satisfying to lose a game," Victory tells the press. "But this is as close as you can come to being satisfied. This team has a great future."

Charleston finishes the non-conference campaign with an 8-5 record, winning their last four games. They played decent in a 76-63 loss to South Carolina (CRI 55) but got drilled as expected by #3 Arizona 84-54. The most notable win -- over Oregon State 74-62. They also beat a few of Victory's old Atlantic Sun rivals, Florida Atlantic (83-52) and Jacksonville State (74-61).

Lamont Johnson emerges as the leading scorer, averaging about 17 ppg. Desmond pumps in about 12, and Robin and Zimmerman score about 11 each. Dmitrovic is a great point guard, averaging 7.4 assists per game, including a whopping 15 against Jacksonville State.

"Hey, lets go out there and get our Southern Conference title this year," Victory tells his young troops. "Why wait till some of you guys are seniors?"
