They broke that window out, reached inside and unhooked the chain and unbolted the dead bolt. Then we had a screw through the door that's why he had to kick the door in.
Oh, we're most definitely concerned. You always are when somebody does something and does it well. They have possession receivers and a quarterback that does a good job. We're playing a team that can create big plays and we can't afford to let them have that.
The most improved player in the whole Valley. No doubt about it. It was all guts. He's not a kid that you sit down and watch lots of film with because he is what I would call not the most cerebral player, but he's the toughest player.
I think that any other year he would be playing. But because (there's) so many great forwards in the West, it's difficult to do that. But (Paul) is one of the top five guards in the Western Conference without question.
One of the biggest reasons is to make sure the water flows away from the house. You don't want the water to break into the foundation.
This group of seniors is a special group. There are a lot of teams that don't like to come to practice. This team wasn't like that. They loved to come to practice; they loved to talk basketball; they loved to try to do whatever they had to do to win.

The second thing that happened was that we didn't get them the ball when we had our scorers open. It was kind of a double-edged sword for us.
We moved the ball much better tonight. We worked hard at it in practice. We did a much better job of moving the ball around, cutting and making things happen.
We've got to work on the third quarter. It's been our Achilles heel all year. We got to do something to get us a good look at the basket. Maybe we'll go in at half and meditate. I don't know what it is, but we've got to do something.
We give more awards than a lot of tournaments do.
We were one game away from being in the final four. I thought our kids played with intensity and heart, and they never gave up.
We're a fullback-oriented offense. Our fullback Patrick Harris gets most of the carries. But our big-play guy has been our tailback Eric Crenshaw.
We really hadn't gotten any type of rhythm yet. The activity was there but the achievement wasn't. I told the guys we needed to have something to show for what we had done up to that point.
