Our tournament record the last seven or eight years proves those games always gets us ready for the tournament because those games are so intense and close.

It was a good ballgame that kept going back and forth. Our pressure wasn't consistent, but I was proud of the kids.

(Whiteside) was on the varsity last year, but didn't get to play much with our four seniors. He's waited his turn and is having a heck of a year, averaging about 16 points and 9.6 rebounds.

Our (j.v.) went 17-3, so I've got some nice players coming in. I feel good about the future.

He's very tenacious and tough.

When we play patented, controlled teams, we try to create havoc.
