Panthers at Home, January 12鈥13
The men鈥檚 and women鈥檚 Panther basketball teams play a pair of games at home each this weekend against Saint Mary鈥檚 University. The women tip off Friday鈥檚 game at 6:00 pm.
鈥淲e are looking forward to playing Saint Mary鈥檚 at home this weekend,鈥 said coach Greg Gould. 鈥淭hey are an athletic, physical team who execute well in their half-court offence and are one of the best defensive teams in our conference. To be successful, we will have to defend well and keep them off the offensive boards.鈥
The men take the court against SMU at 8:00 pm.
鈥淥ur focus moving into this weekend is to eliminate those stretches throughout the game when we don't take good shots and we lose our concentration on defence,鈥 said coach Darrell Glenn. 鈥淲e typically have a really bad quarter when we give up greater than 15 points and score less than ten. If we can improve in that area, we give ourselves a fighting chance.鈥
91探花 and SMU face off again the following night. The women鈥檚 game starts at 6:00 pm. The men play at 8:00 pm.
