We play the best team in the country twice, and everyone else we play is in the top 10. Then my (athletic director) tells me our non-conference game is against Moorestown. We have a killer schedule, but we had a nice preseason and I think we'll be OK.

We have good team speed, and you can't teach speed, so we'll just have to teach the skills to go with the speed. The first thing to do is to get the kids to believe in themselves. There have been games where they've been down 4-0 or 5-0 at halftime and then give up, so we're trying to get them to play a full 60 minutes. They've had great attitudes so far, so hopefully we'll steal a game here and there. We'll do the best we can.

They're a big, strong team and we'll have to play our best game to advance. We may adjust our starting lineup to match up with them. ... The keys for us is to limit them to one shot and handle their defensive pressure.

That's what a top-5 team should look like.

That's probably the best team in the tournament we'll play.

Petaluma is a good team. They have good shooters and they play hard.
