Mike has played great. One thing we noticed in practice is his competitiveness. He's not afraid to go in and battle for rebounds. He's picked things up quickly.

Our guys are just doing a good job finding Scott and putting him in positions to make open shots.

Robby made a huge play and we needed it. He's really picked up his game defensively and offensively.

They're our old nemesis. We don't look for them, but they always seem to be there.

We were worried about what to do defensively. We knew they had good players. Up until the opening tip, we were not sure what we were going to do. But with a few exceptions, we found their shooters real well and hit the boards well.

The guys came out and played hard from the opening tip. You never know how guys are going to respond in a different atmosphere, but we came out and played well.
