They're very capable. They're kind of unconscious at times. They're scary because we knew we couldn't guard them man-to-man. We've got OK quickness, but they've got great quickness with the speed they can put on the floor.

I knew once I pushed it up the court and saw [Friars' point guard Donnie] McGrath only looking at me that Ellis would be looking for a lob. He's the ultimate dunker -- he always gives you the heads-up -- so I just put it up by the rim and knew he would go get it.

This kind of game really shows what we're capable of when we play the way like we know we can. Now we have to keep it going.

He busted out. He's a good player. He gives them that 'X' factor they wouldn't have had.

That was huge. When the whistle blew, I thought we were at least going to be shooting a free throw.

It didn't surprise me. Four and five are pretty close. That Althoff win against East last Saturday (was key).
