The Middle Market M&A group has been critical to Piper over the last 15 years, and Glenn is a very integral part of that group.

That continuity from year to year is important.

We're playing a lot tougher, and we're kind of getting into a little routine. We want to try to attack the post, we want to be timely with the shooting from the perimeter, and defensively we've picked up things a little bit. But by the same token, our schedule has not weakened a bit.

Our kids really fought to get back in the game and gave themselves a chance to win. We had to play so hard to overcome a lot. We had to play perfectly in a lot of areas. We had to make fewer turnovers, we had to get more rebounds and we had to get to the free throw line more than we did. It was tough to overcome but we gave it a shot.

Our kids need to understand how we have to play to be successful. They will feel good about what we have done recently and that is probably the most important thing, not how the coaches feel.

They have some size as always and a great point guard in Philip Garnett.
