Having coached Ray at McMaster, I've seen all the intangibles he brings to a team. Watching him develop his game in Toronto, I know he's going to be a valuable asset and someone who's going to contribute right away.

It's always a tough game with Woodland. They are a well-coached team. And they're so deep, they just keep coming at you.

Billy coached as perfect a game as I've ever seen in a national championship game. It reminded me of 1987 when he carried an average Providence team to the final weekend.

There's a lot of things we're doing wrong, or we wouldn't be under .500. They're a well-coached team and it showed. They execute their plays, get the best shot possible down the court.

He can be the best I've ever seen. He already has the athletic intangibles. If he can get the smarts of Peyton Manning, the swagger of Joe Montana, you put all that in one pot, and I'm going to put my money on my guy every time.

This is huge. There's a sense that if we win the game, it brings validity to our team.
