''We have some weaknesses that we have to improve on,'' said O'Brien. ''No. 
1, we got really hammered on the glass, and that's something that you can't 
have game in and game out. Two, we improved defensively in the latter part 
of last year, but not nearly at the level or the consistency that is 
necessary to be a playoff team. And we have not been a team that has been 
able to sustain a running attack for 48 minutes. So there are glaring things.

''You might say, `Well, you just hit on every phase of the game.' But there 
are some strengths of ours, defensively and offensively and on the glass. 
We're not necessarily a big team, a bruising team, but we want to be a team 
that will be difficult to guard. We want to be a group that will take 
tremendous team pride in how we play defense and how we keep the opponent 
off the glass. For people that cover our team, these are going to be 
recurrent themes because that's my focus.''
