"Mobile is the type of team that's quick and if you don't jump out and get a good lead in front of them then we may be in trouble," head coach
Freda Freeman-Jackson said. "They play basketball (this team likes to go back door and they can shoot the lights out of the ball). We are going to have to do a really good job playing the perimeter and making sure that they don't go back door on us. We have had plenty of time to prepare for them. We just need to make sure that we do the things that we do and that we have discipline."
Â
"Mobile has been averaging 65 points per game so we need to make sure that we reduce that number and do what we need to do on the offensive end. We played a good game at Georgia Tech and I want us to get even better as we go forward."
