We're going to have an easy practice (today), so basically, after the second quarter, that was our practice.

We watched a couple of (Highlands Ranch's) games and confidence was what they built on. In practice all week, coach (Rudy Carey) told us we had to come out and make a statement.

I'm very satisfied with this win because we slowed down on turnovers and got a lot of errors and steals in the first half.

There's 22 practice days between [today] and our first game [Nov. 12]. You would like to lay the foundation, like you would with a house, and the success of your team depends on what you build those 22 practice days. Last year, we were never able to get after it because of those situations. I don't see that as an issue right now, cross your fingers.

We're actually having practice today.

We had a lot of guys step up today. They've been working very hard in practice, and that's where you get better.
