“Our team has been here for almost a week now, and we have just completed this preseason’s two a day practices and everyone on the team seems to be a little bit relieved. Luckily pretty much everyone made it through this week without getting any serious injuries, just a bunch of little knocks and sore muscles.”

“As far as the team itself goes, I think that we look like we should be pretty good this year. Although we graduated several bigtime players from last year, I think that we will be as good as last years team, if not better. Also, I think that a lot of people on this team feel as though we have some unfinished business to complete in the A-10, because we were beaten pretty badly in the final of the A-10 finals last year. As a senior this year, I think that there is also a little bit of added pressure that is going to be put on me not only externally, but also internally because I know that this is my last chance to make it to the NCAA tournament. The tournament also has some extra meaning to me because I missed the last two weeks and the tournament last year because of injury.”

“Well, with all that said, our team also realizes that we can talk all we want to, but we have to back it up on the field, and everyone is excited to prove that we can walk the walk. Our first game on against B.G. will be a good test for us, because they are always a good team, and we always have to battle them for the full ninety minutes. This should give a good measure of how far we have come in these first couple weeks, and will also show how much better we have to get if we are going to reach our ultimate goal of making the NCAA tournament.”
