Blueprint: How do you prepare for games? The opponent?

Wood: I feel I have accomplished some things, but there is always room for improvement.
Blueprint: Do you view this season different since you’re a senior?
Wood: Yes, because this is the last chance I’ll get to be a Blue Devil, and I need to treat every game like it’s the last. Before I know it, it will be the last.
