The wide-open style we employ leads to big spurts but it can also give up big leads.

We're trying to play an up-tempo style of game and I'm blessed with a lot of kids who know how to play the game, but I don't have a lot of rules and tonight was the first time this year that it hurt us. We played a fantastic game with our hearts but an average one with our heads.

Our bench once again paid big dividends.

He got to the basket on the previous two times on that set and he had a nice look. It just didn't work.

The one thing we like about our team over most teams we play is our depth. We play nine guys, and any one of them can go big on you on a given night. I think we're a difficult team to scout.

We want the ball in his hands at the end. He's an excellent free-throw shooter that he doesn't appear to be bothered by pressure.
