Last year, he played behind his brother [Aaron Boyce] and Blake [Solomon]. Now it's his time to step up.

We didn't have many guys to replace him with. It was a gutsy win.

We started each half missing a wide-open lay-up, and that kind of set the tone. My top three scorers couldn't find the basket.

They attack the basket and rebound so hard. They are tough and it was a tough game.

We can't just show up and win games because we're more athletic. We met a team as athletic in a lot of ways. We've got to execute, that's the biggest thing.

We survived round one, and now we've got to go do battle with another heavyweight team.
