Conditioning, shooting, and rebound drills were the main objects in practice and the team also worked on offense patterns, defense patterns, and jump ball and out of bounds plays.

The team started the season on March third with the goal of being number one. With all the practice, this goal was not out of reach. 72 SPORTS P.
