We've played 4 of 5 on the road. We need to be at home. But our main focus is making sure we're playing well at the right time of the year.

We were looking for some penetration. But we wanted a quick look at it, to try to make something happen.

I just told our team we didn't play very well, but we found a way to win. One, it's the mark of a quality basketball team to do that; and two, we get a chance to play tomorrow and play better.

I'm not sure seventh was such a bad prediction. But I understood the talent we had, and I knew we'd be a better team than last year.

Charlie's been a guy all year long who has made plays for us. Whether that's been on defense with a blocked shot, or getting a rebound or scoring, he's one of those good basketball players who make plays.

This team has been a joy to be around. I think its character makeup has been important. We didn't have bad people last year, but our strength of character did not allow us to finish and win games.
