Outlook: “With the departure of scorers Matt McAlister and Brady Haggerty, we have over 80 percent of our scoring to make up from last season. Senior point guard DJ Mischak and senior big man James Duffy got some good experience as juniors, starting about half of last year's games. Those two, along with junior Hunter Wan, appear ready to step up and carry the load offensively. We feel good about our leadership, team chemistry and the kids buying into our style of play, so if we focus on the right things -- embracing roles, improving throughout the year, playing hard, playing smart and together, we feel that we can compete with everyone on our schedule.”
