Final Comments:
Strengths: We have a lot of athletic guys with good length. Most of them are good shooters and all good ball handlers. We should be able to go about nine deep in our rotation and be aggressive defensively.

Weakness: Our main weakness will be a lack of varsity meaningful playing experience, defending the post and rebounding, since we are mostly guards.

Outlook: Our non-conference schedule is very tough and we would like to win at least five of our eight games. I believe we can finish in the top two or three in the MOAC and make a decent run in the postseason. "
