He scored 44 points, but Dougie was human tonight. He was as human as I've seen him play in the last six or seven games.

We have players who are sliding, we have players who are hitting, each game we play we're getting better and better.

He's a special player. There's no doubt about that. What's good about him is that he's really developed over the last two years.

It's basically Doug [Wiggins] and four new starters. It shows not only how good he is, but how good the others have been to make the jump from not playing varsity to having to fill in spots that we didn't anticipate.

I say this with all due respect. It wasn't a typical game for him. He missed a lot of shots. He missed a lot of free throws. But obviously he gets us going. He's the key to what we do.

Those guys are just tough kids. They're old school and they're scrappers. They were just tremendous and stepped up and played very well for us.
