We're a young team. We're still inexperienced and we were taking bad shots.

I've said all along this team is going to be very young, very inexperienced but very talented. This team is going to need patience from myself, from the fans and from the media.

We're a tough team. We're not afraid of anybody. We're not worried about how young or inexperienced we are. We're trying to do things in practice and trying to listen to Coach Williams. And we feel like if we do those things, if we come out and just leave it on the floor, we can compete with anybody.

I preach the team concept and I get on her for not taking a little more shots. I'm taking my word back on the team concept. I thought there were times where she didn't shoot enough. But that's her. She wants everyone to be involved in the game.

To clinch the league title outright is very good for this team. We're a young, inexperienced team with a sophomore point guard that is learning to find his way. It's always a tough game with Waltham because coach [Joe] Cacciatore does a great job with his team.

I didn't want to have to swim in that water.
