Gleason's Comments: “Our best defensive weapon against Pomona is to take care of the ball and not let them get easy shots from our turnovers. Pomona is amongst the top teams in the conference in rebounding, so we need to make sure we get in there and rebound.” … “San Bernardino is more well-rounded. They have a lot of weapons and can shoot inside and out so we need to force them to take tough shots from the perimeter.” … “San Bernardino has a solid half court defense that makes it tough to take easy shots. We need to execute our offense and shoot from the perimeter.”
