A win is all we need. The only reason a big margin would be good is so we can rest players since we are going three games in three days.

Yep! Three games in three days. Also it also depends on how much "sleep" the players get each night. Youngsters these days are notorious for leaving their cell phones on and getting texted by young females in the middle of the night and not going to sleep until two o'clock in the morning, not to mention being all wound up from gallivanting around on the beach. If I was coach, I would confiscate their phones to prevent all of that. I would lay two dollars to a doughnut that half of the players won't sleep five hours a night when they are down there. Believe me, it takes its toll on their performance when it comes to game time. Bartow used to have to fore warn his players to get plenty of sleep the nights before game days, as well as on the road and during tournaments. It makes a huge difference when the players have had eight hours of sleep each night as opposed to four or five.
