I was disappointed we lost but pleased we didn't quit.

I hope we build on this. If we play with that kind of energy and lose, I can live with that. But we haven't been playing with that kind of energy.

He'll definitely be a part of our team. He's a quick-as-lightning point guard who can pass and shoot. He's also got a great feel for the game.

I was very disappointed in the first half with the way we played. We were not sharp. Maybe I tried to get them too jacked up. Maybe we were too aggressive. We didn't execute well.
