Growing up, my whole family played basketball, and we would have our battles in the backyard. There would be bleeding and crying.

Growing up, my dream was to play Division I basketball. I also knew that one day I would like to be a Division I head coach. The Citadel was the school that allowed me to do that. To be able to play basketball and be a head coach at the same school is a dream come true.

When I was growing up, our whole family used to get together at Christmas, but we hadn't done that for some 30 years, ... Some of us got together in North Carolina last year, but this is the first time everyone's come up here. Everybody wants to see the game.

We're finally doing the things we need to do [to win]. We're growing as a basketball team and if we continue to play like this then we are going to go far.

Growing up, my favorite pass-rusher was Julius Peppers. He was just a beast.

Never. Especially seeing what's happened to us all season.
