While their offense is solid, with a strong scoring average and shooting percentages, their defense remains a weak point, allowing a high number of points per game. Despite this, key players like David Coit and Zarique Nutter have shone individually. The team's consistent lineup, coupled with recent success, positions them well to improve in the conference.
