When Kyle plays with confidence he is a tremendous player.

The final point margin was not indicative of the game. It was a much closer game than that. All it takes is a couple of those threes to drop that's worth more than six points to them because then everybody from Benton also gets into a rhythm and we start to question a little bit and as we get out and extend on those shooters, they're likely to drive and draw a defender to foul and it makes for much more complex defensive decisions that you have to make.

Matt is a very special player. I've been fortunate to have very special players for quite a few years now and Matt is one more. Matt doesn't need much coaching. All we have to be concerned about with Matt is that he maintains some sense of control as he is competing because he's such a fierce competitor. He'll do anything to win, he's just an awful nice kid to coach.

It was only three at the half. They were ahead a little more than that at different time of the game in the second (period). I was glad that we cut it back to three — a manageable number.

We picked up some quick fouls in the third and put them in the bonus very early in the second half. But, I thought the kids there at the end of the game played very hard and put on a show. They played very well.

Landers is a heck of a player with a nice package of skills. And if you foul him he'll knock down about 85-percent of his free throws.
