After playing against a lot of size yesterday, hopefully we'll be prepared for it Tuesday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

csims0917 Posted January 3 Report Share Posted January 3 Very happy with the defense. I was happy when they held the Bonnies to 61 and it needs to carry over. Gotta make these teams very frustrated. Shooting will get better… eventually? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
