Warriors Conclude Exhibition Season Tonight!

Hi gang, sorry for the late post on game day but was really busy today with stuff.  Well tonight the Warriors close out the exhibition portion of the season when the host the St. Thomas Tommies from the MIAC.  This game should be another great game as both teams have there sights set on having good seasons once again.  

As many of you remember St. Thomas was the only squad to come in and beat the Warriors back during the 2007-08 season.  While the defeat might have been a blessing in disguise as the Warriors used the loss as a huge learning tool and did not lose another game that season as they went on to win the schools seconds national championship.  Well that was two years ago and many of the players on both side of that game are no longer around.  

For the Warriors tonight's game will again test them in many areas where improvement needs to be made.  First off the Warriors will need to contain there man one on one.  The Tommies really look to break there guy down one on one so we must contain our man and not allow dribble penetration.  We will also have to talk better on both ends of the floor.  We will see a ton of ball screens and hand offs tonight if we do not talk we will end up having two guarding one guy which will leave them a ton of open shots.  On the offensive end we need to communicate better as we must keep good spacing and take care of the ball as we will see some full court pressure.  If we do not take care of the ball and keep going spacing there pressure will get us causing for a long night.  This game will be a great final warm up for our guys as we will see a quality opponent that would do very well in our conference.  The guys have had a good week of practice but now we must carry over what we have been doing to a game situation.  It should be fun one as tonight at 7.  Hope to see you all at the game.  GO WARRIORS
