Quote of the Day:
"I enjoy having balanced scoring. Certainly, we’re not trying to hold anyone down. At the same time, it makes it so difficult to prepare against from a defensive scouting perspective. There are multiple guys that can have big nights. You’re not relying on one thing to carry you offensively. Last year, we had some of that with Tolu [Smith] having to carry the [offensive] load around the basket. You’re seeing some guys have big games, but they’re different. You will still see that going forward." — Chris Jans
