They have more maturity, more experienced players than Santa Barbara. At this point I'd say I pick (Long Beach) as a favorite.

They're probably the best offensive team we've faced in this league. They run their system and they run it to perfection. ... They're proving they're going to be a very strong addition to this conference.

I definitely think they're capable of doing it. They sure thumped us up in Stockton.

I definitely think there's more parity in the league than there has been in awhile. Santa Barbara is still going to be the team to beat, but I think there are other programs knocking on the door, and hopefully we're one of them.
