Chris had two outstanding games. He was our leader. The Bahamian teams attacked with very quick, physical guards and it was a good challenge. In the second game he had nine assists and no turnovers. That's a great indicator of things to come.
balance beyond chance duplicate effort gives great mix playing poise team tremendous win
They have great poise and when you mix poise with balance it gives you a chance to win every night. When you're playing a team with tremendous poise you have to have that yourself. We've got to duplicate that effort and go beyond that to get a win that's needed.
