We wanted to keep him yielded. Tonight I challenged Josh Lawrence, who is a very good defender, to do that.

Josh Lawrence is a guy that's very dear to me. He's one of the very first guys that said 'yes' to this program. Even though he was struggling early on, I kept saying he deserved my loyalty.

We played a little bit too slow, a little bit too casual, and didn't do a very good job defensively in the second half. We didn't do a good job guarding Polk.

We played very good basketball against an athletic team. It was nice to see us get better in some areas.

I was surprised it didn't sell out in September.

As a player you want to be one of those guys that's indispensable, someone you need to have on the floor at all times. He's a freshman and he's going to be a good basketball player.
