BAYNO ON DIGGS: "He was our best on-the-ball defender last year and that's where defense starts. He was the strength of our defense with his pressure and we are going to extend that to full-court this year. We have some additional shooters this year and that will take some of the pressure off Trevor. Because of that, he should improve his shooting percentage. We are looking for him to make a big jump in his second year as he gained a full year of experience in the major college game last season. When he shot the ball well last year, we blew teams out and really played our best basketball."
