Coach’s comments: “We had a youth movement last year and played six sophomores. They are a year older and a year wiser. We have a very talented and deep junior class, too. We have guys who can get the rebound, get the ball out and go. We have shooters all around who can fill up the basket. We have to take good care of the ball and play strong defense. It’s going to be a fun year and an exciting one. Everything we do is gearing up to play our best basketball in February and March.”
