It was like our guys weren't ready to play when the game started, and our lack of execution kept us from playing our game in the early stages. But give York credit. They play well and are doing what their coaches ask of them.

We've got to take care of business, but it won't be easy at their place.

It feels good to finally get that first one. I'm starting to come around now, feel more comfortable. I'm starting to trust myself at the plate a lot more than earlier in the season.

Victor's the guy who holds it all together. He's an extension of me on the floor. He's versatile, a 4.1 (GPA) student and the hardest worker we have in practice and in games. The other players respect Victor, so when he speaks, they listen.

It's a blessing to be here and have the chance to make history.
