Losing Chris was a tough break and I really didn't know how the team was going to react. It took a long time to adjust to playing without Chris, but the kids have bounced back and that's a credit to their hard work and determination.

We made some big 3-pointers and we win games when we shoot the ball well on the perimeter. We did a much better job boxing out in the second half and we were able to limit Plymouth's second shots. It's time to start taking care of business and we needed a win like this to build some confidence and get us ready to play well down the stretch.

We made our free throws down the stretch and that was huge. We came out of the gate pretty good to start the first and second halves, and A.J. gave us a nice spark off the bench.

When we score inside, that opens things up on the perimeter and we've been successful when we've been able to move the ball for good shots and knock them down. The 3-pointer has been a nice weapon for us when we've shot the ball well and we need that trend to continue.

We are here to accompany the people in peace. The problem is the United Nations is trying to annihilate us. Times are critical. We have to be ready, and willing to die.

If you journalists weren't here, the U.N. would be shooting at us. They have destroyed our homes. Our school and our hospital are closed, and they killed two of my brothers.
