He wanted those kids to come back. He wants to win bad. That says a lot about the kid's character.

He knows how to win. He sacrificed points to help the team win. He wants to get better and is a team player. He's not selfish. That rubs off on your teammates.

That didn't hurt. They had a good relationship.

I think that [the comeback] shows the character of our program. The kids believe they can win even when they are down 17 points. We actually won the quarter by one [point], but we let them stretch their lead when they went on an 8-0 run. We just didn't have enough to hold them off.

We don't give up. We keep working and that's the character of the kids.

Our kids have a whole lot of character. At one point, we were 0-8 in the league. We were out of the playoffs. It would be easy to go through the motions, but these kids have a lot to play for.
