His whole game improved because he worked at it during the summer. That's when you become better. One thing very unique about him is, he is, by far, the best tipper I ever coached. Sometimes in practice and in games, he just amazed me.

We picked them up full-court and pressed because we didn't want them to start stalling on us. In the past, teams have tried to hold the ball against us. We didn't want that to happen tonight, so we forced a few turnovers and started to run a little bit.

Jamie played his finest floor game of the year, on offense and defense.

Actually, I thought we looked more tired in our last two games. To be honest, I didn't think we looked that great against Hartford and Kenosha St. Joe's. I think I may have been pushing these guys a little too hard. So tonight I told them to just play your game. Play loose and have fun.

Our defense is good. I think it's at a high level now.

We're taking one game at a time. I was really worried about tonight - they were 11-2 and leading the (Wisconsin) Little 10 (at 6-0).
