We're playing better. Our guards are playing better defense and are starting to understand they can play with basically anybody.

They can all hit the 3, they can all penetrate and they can all play defense. It just took awhile because we start four sophomores and (Coleman) who is a junior. It just took them some time to realize how good they are. They are playing great right now.

I was really impressed with the team play and unselfishness. Everybody stepped up on defense as a team tonight.

I'm not a big fan of that play. But since no one (on defense) was trailing, it was a pretty safe bet at that point. I thought it was fine.

I'm disappointed because we didn't play our best ball. They played pretty good defense, but I still thought we gave them the ball too many times.

Him coming back has really freed up Shane Coleman and Terrel Clark. Shane and Terrel are two excellent guards; it's even tougher to cover three of them.
