Is it really possible that this Valley team may be better than last years? I really think that against mountain teams the extra speed that the team has picked up has allowed their defense to be just as effective and offensive to be more explosive. Now against teams downstate, the lack of size may hurt but it is going to be interesting to see.

I feel like their defense has been really lacking so far. It's almost as if they are wanting teams to shoot quickly so they can get the ball out on the fastbreak. This will work against teams around here because SV has superior talent, but they will have to lock down against the better teams they play. The press has been really soft as well. I am confident that they'll pick up the "D" when they have to though.
