This is the first time this year we have had to deal with true adversity. We've been very fortunate.
That's what I was wondering. I told coach (Darrell) Brooks, 'Who scheduled this game?' Games are very tough for us to get. We want to try to get as many homes games as possible. This is a situation where we had an opportunity to play a game on TV. We wanted to take advantage of that opportunity.
This game will be a contrast of styles. They want to be deliberate, run their offense and force us into a half-court game. We want to run.
The young guy is just stepping up. Whenever we need a big play or big score, he stepped up and made the play. But more importantly, he made great decisions with the basketball and I thought that was the difference. We kind of expect him to score.

That's what I've always wanted. I wanted to get my master's because I wanted to be at this level. I've wanted to refine their skills, not necessarily teach them. It's like a dream come true. It's great.
We have such depth that when the other team gets tired around the eight minute or seven minute mark, we make our move. We've done some tremendous things around that time this year.
In another 100 yards he would have been in front. In fact, in another 50 yards.
