A lot of times my offense is so bad, I'm just glad even with my offensive struggles that I've been able to get offensive rebounds.

All of the guys made sure to get us big guys involved in the second half and we were able to get a tough win on the road.

The draft process will provide me a great learning experience and will help me become a better player. Academically, I am well on my way to graduating and earning a degree and that is a priority for me.
both definitely ends hard help player shows team ways willing work
I think the double-double definitely shows how hard a player is willing to work on both ends of the floor. But there are a lot of other ways you can help your team that don't show up in the stats.
constant demanding fast games hardest physically running
Lacrosse is fast paced and I like fast paced games. It's demanding physically and has the hardest conditioning of any sport. You are always running if you are not sprinting. It's constant movement.
beyond feet great last marvel sit
I think that last 3-pointer he made was from 15 feet from beyond the arc. He's such a great player. When he's doing something like that, you just have to sit back and marvel at it.

That put them up one point. I felt we were very confident that we were still going to win the basketball game.

Everyone got their feelings out. We accomplished a lot just by being able to talk to each other. Now, we're getting ready to go in not only physically prepared, but mentally prepared.

It goes to show how tough this team is and how much we believe in each other. No one gave up. No one had the thought in their mind that we weren't going to win.

We just really stressed getting the ball inside in the second half. We were all making plays. That was the main difference in us winning the game.

We got a little bit away from what we wanted to do. We were playing like we needed to win on that one possession and you can't do that.
age age-and-aging believe court experience joke leader position
We joke with him about his age a lot, but it's no joke that he's our No. 1 leader on and off the court with his experience and wisdom. I don't believe we'd be in the position we are without him.
