OUR PHILOSOPHY Discipline This transfers on and off the court Work Ethic We will be prepared to play Tradition The team is part of something bigger; we work for the future of our program. Things in Our Control Some things are out of our hands, but we can control our attitudes, our effort, and our love of basketball.
