We've had a lot of adversity, a lot of stuff said about our team. We've got to ignore that stuff. Coach is a great coach and we hate to see him go down that path. We're trying to play as hard as we can to prevent that from happening.

A wise man struggling with adversity is said by some heathen writer to be a spectacle on which the gods might look down with pleasure.

Coach came to us and is like, 'this is your guys night,' we had a little adversity with Larry and he challenged us to step up. I used to play in the post a lot. It wasn't that big of a difference.

Who wants to die? Everything struggles to live. Look at that tree growing up there out of that grating. It gets no sun, and water only when it rains. It's growing out of sour earth. And it's strong because its hard struggle to live is making it strong. My children will be strong that way.

Adversity has the same effect on a man that severe training has on the pugilist: it reduces him to his fighting weight.

We figured out a way to win. In these last two wins, if you look at the assists we had in those games, they were kind of high. The best thing that you can do is just pass the ball and get everyone involved, and we'll win games.
