The Skyrockets went 3-1 against ABA teams this year but haven't played a game since January 7th. The off time has allowed the team to work on their offense, especially with the addition of a couple of new players especially with the addition of a couple of new players but the team will try to make the most of it's size against Albany this weekend. (Mike Sanders, Skyrockets coach) andamp;quot;They have a small team and we just got to use our size and I'm more concerned about how we play, defensive scheme and how we execute on offense. I had the opportunity to add more offense so that way we can take advantage of some of our atheticism and take advantage of players strength that they can do like Royce Parren. I mean he's very good in the pick and roll. We want to try and post Ronnie Fields up more and then we got a new guy in Tanice Hunter, you know I think he was the second, third leading scorer in the league last year so it gave us a chance to acclamate him into the system.andamp;quot; (Royce Parren, Skyrockets guard) andamp;quot;We're just expecting a little step up in competition so we're gonna do what we can do to prepare ourselves for the game and just make adjustments as need be.andamp;quot; Game time on Sunday is at 2:05 p.m. at the Minot Auditorium.  « Less
