I told them this is just the first chapter. ... The thing about the Tigers' 35-5 is that they ended as world champions.

I noticed the same thing you noticed. I told him and I have told all of our players -- nothing is given. You earn your minutes. You earn what you get. What we're going to do is put guys on the floor that are going to compete on a daily basis.

When I came here, a lot of the players told me it'd be like that. We float under the radar a lot. So I think that's fine with us.

We didn't have our heads in the game in the first half. But this team never ceases to amaze me. They were challenged and they stepped up.

I've been here for five months, and this team still amazes me with its poise.

When we play as a whole, how we're supposed to play, we're very efficient, and everyone plays extremely well.
