Coach’s comments: “We knew last year where most of our points would come from and who probably would be our leading scorer (King). This year will be different because we can come at you from many different ways. There’s something nice about being balanced and knowing you’ve got plenty of players who can get you double figures on their night. For a change we don’t have that many football players coming in so we have a lot of basketball guys ready to go when our season starts. We have some length and athleticism on the perimeter and some size. I would like to think we can guard teams this year. We will stay with our defensive half-court principles. We have a host of players battling for playing time; the competition has been outstanding.”
