I think we left on a pretty good note. I was a little concerned about how we would go into the break, but we played really well. The guys are anxious to get going again.

He's pretty deadly from the free-throw line. It's almost automatic.

Sometimes, because they're young, they don't harness their emotions like they're supposed to and it can hurt them. And we try to let them know that it can hurt the team, too.

We've come a long way. I don't want to sound braggadocio, but the team has matured so much since then.

We just needed to start looking to shoot the ball more. We're a good shooting team, and we do a lot better when we bring that energy and confidence to the court.

Their records don't tell the story at all. Our pitching is the strongest part of our game.
