I actually thought he played pretty well for a guy who had one practice under his belt. I think that has to be a boost for our team.
(Sparta is) a much better team than they were the last time we played them. They take the ball inside, and they guard well. ... This was a much closer game than the score indicates.
This is special for these kids. It was really a gutsy performance, they played when they had to play.
I didn't think we played well in any phase of the game. Offensively, we didn't have the ball movement that we usually have.
The first thing we told the kids when we went in was that we hadn't played very well at all and only trailed by two points. We felt like we could take better care of the basketball and felt like we could guard better. ... We felt like we were in pretty good shape.
