It felt good to get out and play. This should help us going into conference play.

It was just bugging us. What could we do to help?

I really think Ben can help us this year, ... He’s not going to play major minutes, but he’s a guy that can come off the bench and make some big shots for us. He has the shooting ability, and he’s a smart player, so we’re going to use him.

Were just now coming around to play together with everyone coming off the injured list. Thats going to help us down the stretch as we look to make the playoff run.

Other than a long, 12-play drive, that was exactly what we needed. That gave us all the momentum and our defense seemed to feed off of it. That play changed the whole course of the game.

I think it's his size, in one word. Long arms. When teams prepare to play us, they have to take into consideration how they're going to attack us because of the big kid in middle of the floor. He poses problems on blocking shots and changing kids' decision-making about taking the ball to the basket.
