The Blue Devils enter with a five-game Big 6 winning streak. "We're going to have to play great, inspired basketball to be in it," UT coach Marc Polite said. "Quincy has so many weapons that you have to worry about. Our main focus is limiting them as much as possible and see what happens." ... As a team, the Panthers are shooting 37.7 percent (90 of 235) from the field. ... Connor Mellon -- the Blue Devils' third-leading scorer -- transferred from Quincy Notre Dame in the summer. Quincy coach Sean Taylor: "UT has a very talented group who are going to get better every game. They have great length and athleticism, which will cause problems for opponents." United Township coach Marc Polite: "We want to think they're going to be ready, but you don't know until you get out there. These guys have put a lot of time in preparing for these opportunities. This is a group that cares. I'm expecting them to play hard and compete.'' -- By Daniel Makarewicz, danmak@qconline.com
