South Africa and Scotland are the only teams in the tournament that are taking part in the Commonwealth Games, but it is tremendously important to get match practice in test and tournament conditions.

This is the last time before the Commonwealth Games that we will have true international competition. It's all good and well training around beacons but what it all comes down to is game time and these matches will highlight the errors in our game that still need to be fixed.

I know we're going to be working hard in practice, working on getting ready for our district games coming up.

Through the past few games, this team has definitely come together. When I was a freshman, that's what happened when we were playing. Our seniors stepped up, and we definitely came together so there are similarities.

I'll buy that [we're better], ... That doesn't mean we'll win 105 games. A lot of teams got better. But, yeah, we could be a better team.

I would really enjoy getting to go to some of their games. I think it would be awesome to see them in person.
