Mathews said, “We’re starting to learn to work together as a team. We’re learning each other’s tendencies and moving the ball a lot more. Basically, getting to know how each teammate plays. I’m really excited to play the games this weekend because when we played them at the beginning of the season, I knew we could’ve done better. I want to see how far we’ve come and to see how much better we do against them because of how we’ve been playing lately.”
