If Steve was here, he'd tell you that Lance did more than his part on that team. He pushed those kids every day in practice. He was the one that opened the gym and made sure that this team was so good because that was his goal.

It's about the players, obviously. That's a part of it. But this is about Steve for Lance. It's also something he's doing for his father that he can't do with him.

Her and I have really pushed each other to new levels this season.

Lance is confident he has a strong team and now it's up to him to be ready. His form is coming.

Lance has really played well lately and continues to step up big. We are still a young team, but I feel like we will be able to surprise some people. Now we have to get ready to make the long trip to San Antonio and will have to be mentally tough to win on the road.

I pushed very hard to get Jenson here...it's the best for the team to have two strong guys, it's good for the sponsors and the results at the end of the day.
