Coach’s comments: “We have a huge advantage with several players back. We’ll be a lot better from the get-go. We need to find somebody to run the point. We like our size. We want to go inside-out on offense. Percentage shots help you win games. We had some mental lapses last year on defense. We just need to get the details down and get more stops. We want to be a lot tougher than last year.”
