The Carmichaels game was back and forth the entire game and Jesse was kind of passive through most of it. But he went to the hole and hit a shot that gave us the lead and the guys got a lot of confidence from it.

Their guards were kind of passive and really wanted Tucker to take over the game.

We have to play the rest of our games with a purpose, like we did tonight. If we do that and work hard in practice, we will make things interesting.

Jesse is our general out there. He came back in the lineup and took control.

I can't really say enough about my guys. We had a week to focus on our game plan and went very hard in practice for about four of those days.

In the first game, we kind of were a little passive. Tonight, I think we all understood that we couldn't go down two-love on our home court. So I think we came out with the intentions of playing defense for 48 minutes, and that's what we did.
