The thing about Isaiah is that he's not only a good offensive player, but he can really be a great defensive player at times too and really helps us out with rebounding. When he does all that he's one of the best players around.

Rice has as good an offensive player as their is in the league. They start with him and that's important. Transition defense will be very important. They are a very good transition team. And defensively, they are doing a lot of different things.

What we want to do is what we've done all year. We aren't going to re-invent the wheel with one day of practice. So we'll focus on what we do today and fine tune a few things. We just want to run our system as well as we can.

I just cherish the years I've been able to spend with him. He's a super kid. I know he has a 3.96 grade point average and is sixth in his class. He's just a class act in every sense of the word.

We aren't going to change a whole lot. Our offense lends itself to getting the ball inside so it's something we try to do every game so I'm sure we'll do the same on Thursday.

I am so proud of this team. The thing about this team is they don't want to let one another down. They play for each other.
