What They’re Saying
“They’ve got really good versatility defensively. They can switch a lot of different spots. I think their frontcourt guys are as quick and fast as any frontcourt in our league. Good speed and quickness and length in the backcourt. They extend, they pressure you.” – Head Coach Mike White
“We are moving the ball to go along with the Florida offense. We are trying to get everybody the ball. We move it all around a lot. We score off of it. We see it at practice and we try to carry it over in the game.” – Forward Keyontae Johnson
“A fast team. They play fast. A good defensive team. I remember playing Nevada last year, kinda the same as them. A lot of ISOs, so that’s what we’re kind of looking at on the scouting report right now.” – Guard Andrew Nembhard
