The thing about a kid like that is his presence is felt. If you don't give him ball fakes he's going to block it. The thing I like about him is he goes and gets it. It wasn't that our kids were intimidated by him. It's his presence.

First of all, our shooting from the free throw line was atrocious in the first half. That set the tone for us. And we played no defense. We didn't play defense until we were in trouble in the fourth quarter. That's when we stepped up.

What I liked about our kids is we came out and we played with courage. That's really all you can ask of them -- to play with pride. It's the experience part. We only have a couple seniors. We're getting experience each game and once we get more experience we're going to pick it up.

They're a great team getting up and down the court. They hit the boards and they're a good running team. They attack the glass. In this conference, when you attack the glass you're going to win games. That's what they do well. They send four or five guys to the glass.

A vest as admired Voltiger had on, Which from this Island's foes his grandsire won, Whose artful colour pass'd the Tyrian dye, Obliged to triumph in this legacy.

It's hard to get that real good feeling about festivals sometimes.
