Coach’s Assessment: “We’ve got a great group of kids who are fun to be around,” Battaglia said. “I think we have the talent and athleticism to beat a lot of people, but I worry about consistency without a big guy to anchor things. We’re going to have to shoot the ball well, defend every night and try to play faster than I normally prefer. Our strength both offensively and defensively should be in transition and in the full court — half-court offense and defense favors bigger teams.”
