Warriors vs Huskies, Part III

What's up Warrior fans, Coach Moore, here with a preview of our game today versus St. Cloud St. Today's game will be second time we have played St. Cloud in the past seven days. The last time we meet I am sure many fans remember the Warriors 81-100 loss up in St. Cloud. On that day we were a team that did not do too many things right and we struggled with every aspect of the game but today we are hoping to turn it around by playing much better in front of our home town crowd.

Keys to the game today will be like they have in many of the past games. We first have to make sure we get out and find where the shooters are. In the past two meetings the Huskies have been able to get shooters wide open shots pretty much whenever they wanted because we were not sound defensively by not talking or seeing the screen. Today that must change and we cannot lose the shooters they have on the floor. Second key will be making sure we get back in transition. This has been a problem that we have had all year but it really is starting to show in the past couple of games as we have given up easy looks to all the teams we have been playing for the past two weeks. Today we have to get back on defense and not let them get the ball down the floor to a wide open shooter. Finally we must rebound the basketball. That statement is a broken record with this team as we really struggle to win games when we do not rebound. Now on Wednesday we were out rebounded by 10 and were still able to come out on top but today if we let that happen we will be in a world of hurt. We must rebound on both ends and we must go get loose balls when they are on the floor, the team that gets to the loose balls will be the team getting another key possession that they can use to score.
We had a great shoot around this morning and our guys really seemed ready to go. They know what is at stake but they also know it is all up to how we execute that will determine if we win this game. If we do the little things we should be okay, if we do what we did last Saturday it will again be a long day. Hope to see you all at the game. GO WARRIORS!!!!!!!!
