I think your seniors set the tone for what kind of chemistry that you have. You look forward to getting into the gym.

These four (along with seniors Tyler Russell and Cody Hagerman) have set a tone for our program, now and in the future, with how hard they worked. When I think of Brandon and Chad, I think of all the hours they put in the gym improving their skills.

We think we've done enough to get into the NCAA Tournament, but we don't want to take anything for granted. Last year put a sour taste in my mouth about leaving anything to chance.

We didn't want to be back in the NIT, and I think we proved to everybody that we should have been in the NCAA tournament.

I wanted to come out here and make a point and kind of redeem myself. I set the tone early. Having our shooters go out there and shooting 3s kind of opened up the middle for me.

It was nice to lead off the game and kind of set the tone for us.
