The Greensboro College men's basketball team closed the 2005-06 season with a 7-5 record and placed third in the USA South Athletic Conference. Overall, The Pride was 12-13, which matched the best season since the 1994-95 campaign.

Not coincidentally, the green and white improved after Steve Berg joined the squad. With Berg in the lineup GC went 10-6 the remainder of the season. The senior transfer averaged 18.6 points per game, made 72 three-point baskets and set a GC record with eight three-pointers vs. CNU on Feb. 17. Berg led his team in scoring, rebounding (5.8 RPG) and was second on the team in assists (2.9 APG). Following the regular season, Berg was picked the USA South men’s basketball player of the year. He was also picked to the NABC All Region first team. 

James Newman was an all-conference performer, too. The junior guard averaged 15 points per game and garnered honorable mention recognition. GC battled injuries throughout the season and lost Newman for four of the last five games late in the year.

In the same game, The Pride lost post player Bryant Camp for the balance of the year. Seniors Brian Holloway and Justin Battle helped carry the load in the front court.

"We did some very good things this year," said Pride Head Coach Bryan Galuski. "When you consider we only had one starter back from last year's team, a new staff and a lot of new student-athletes, I'm proud of this group."

In addition to Newman and Berg, freshman Michael McDuffie rounded out the GC back court. McDuffie averaged 11 points each outing, and dished a team-high 3.7 assists per game.
