Every team is going to have some rough patches. Great teams overcome the rough patches. I thought it took us too long to respond tonight, but we play hard and we're going to get better.
He's very aggressive -- smart and plays hard all the time.
The defense did a great job in the second half. We wanted to make some things happen, and we usually do that with our defense.
Heck, he made one from the other foul line to send it into overtime here two years ago. It's never over with him.
He's probably the best 6-9 kid I've seen around here ever. I've never seen one with the size and ability he has to play the game. You don't find that too often. How many 6-9 kids can handle the ball, shoot it, are very agile and can create for himself and his teammates?
We're going to keep pushing. We want to go up the turnpike (to the PIAA championship game in Hershey), but its not going to be easy.
That's huge. Here's a guy who's 6-10, and not only can he score, but he's not afraid to give up the ball. He had around eight or 10 assists; that's another 20 points he contributed to.
I didn't have to coax him to come out or anything. He told me last season that he was going to come out this year.
We just broke down. We wanted the ball inside and it didn't get there.
He showed his leadership tonight. But he's grown so much both on and off the court. He knows that because of who he is, people are going to always be watching him, waiting for him to trip up. He knows that he has to carry himself well and be a decent citizen. He's doing that.
