"We'll need to bring a strong performance not only on the offensive end but on the defensive end as well. Harcum [College] has six player who are averaging double-digit points per game so we'll have to give them tough looks at the basket. We'll need to limit our fouls and avoid getting in foul trouble against a quality opponent today. We'll need limit their paint touches and production in the paint, run our offensive sets correctly, and have strong contribution from our role players.
