Every game we've had different guys step up. Against Utica, it was nice to see a couple of the younger kids step up. We really came together as a team.

We emphasize that to be a good team, you have to have good senior leadership to go far in the conference and in the tournament. We've had that so far and that will likely be important for us in the next few weeks for us to be successful.

Nahum showed a lot more improvement at the beginning of the year, then with Jon, it all started clicking for him a few games ago. Some of these guys don't have a ton of game experience, so when you get the ball to them in the post they go too fast. Now they're starting to slow things down a little bit.

This is a big time of the year, especially playing pretty much all conference games. (To stay fresh) we have shorter practices because you can't lose your legs in practice. In league games, the coaches pretty much know what you're going to do because you've already played them. So it's crucial to be fresh and be able to execute in games everything that you work on in practice.

I have great group of four seniors who have made it easy for me to implement what we want to do. Hopefully, (their attitude) has filtered down into the junior and sophomore classes. Every day they bring it in practice and that only makes my job easier.

We put in some different looks, it was something we just put in before the Johnstown game. It broke up their rhythm a little, and we did a good job boxing out.

That was huge. That was a quality team we beat. We've got some tough kids, and it's a tough group. For us, this is huge for our confidence.
