(A) Thomas Jackson (5) is the team's floor leader and assist leader, but he also can score when he needs to, as well.
(B) With Jackson running the show, almost every act starts the same way - with a high screen for Jackson.

(C) Scott Robisch (40) has basketball in his blood. Robisch's father and brother both played Division I basketball, and Robisch has a good feel for the game - and a nice jumper - from playing with them in the driveway.
(D) Robisch curls off a screen from Mike Marshall (22) and knocks down the elbow jumper.
