He was on a mission tonight.

We rushed some stuff in the first half, trying to shoot off one pass and shoot off no passes. We're real successful when the ball is going inside.

I thought our effort, when the chips were down, was 10 times better this year than last year. In the end, they made a few more plays than we did.

One big key is handling the ball against that pressure. They are physical and also do a great job going to the boards.

That is one thing we have stressed. He will probably get his points, but let's not let him take us out of our game.

It is definitely a measuring stick for us. We want to get better every time we step on the floor. If the kids stay focused and do what they can control, we will put ourselves in a position to win.
