Strickland: "We Need To Do A Better Job Of Being Ready To Play"

Posted Dec 17, 2012
Dexter Strickland says the ECU game did teach the team of the areas where improvement is needed most and he says he’s confident that the team can get better in those areas. “(We can get better in) transition defense, spacing on the floor, and allowing myself, Marcus, Leslie, and PJ to get to the rack, Strickland says. “(We need to play) with more energy. I think everybody is going to improve as the season goes on.” (Chapelboro.com)
