Outlook: “This team brings back the starting backcourt of Sean Linder and Shawn Mason, who will provide experience and leadership. The team will need to buy in to the defensive end of the floor and rebound at both ends if we are to have a successful season. Newcomers will need to step up and fill their role in many different ways. This group has a competitive side which makes practices intense each day.”
