COACH JON GIN INTERVIEW

What are your expectations of Mount St. Joseph?

Mount St. Joseph has only lost to three teams all year. They play hard and do the little things really well. They have a veteran frontcourt and a very talented backcourt.

What does your team need to be successful on Sunday?

We need to bring the same energy we played with in the second half of Friday's Manchester game. We have to share the ball on offense and get everyone involved and be ready to hit big shots! But it'll all come down to the battle on the boards. If we can keep it close on the glass, we'll give ourselves a shot at being successful.
