We've come a long way. I don't want to sound braggadocio, but the team has matured so much since then.

Sometimes, because they're young, they don't harness their emotions like they're supposed to and it can hurt them. And we try to let them know that it can hurt the team, too.

Oh yeah, it's time to get going.

We just needed to start looking to shoot the ball more. We're a good shooting team, and we do a lot better when we bring that energy and confidence to the court.

That's why A.B. is the best basketball player in this part of the state. In the first half, he wanted to get everyone else into the flow, and we were a little stagnant.

I think we left on a pretty good note. I was a little concerned about how we would go into the break, but we played really well. The guys are anxious to get going again.

He's pretty deadly from the free-throw line. It's almost automatic.

A month ago we would've laid down in that spot. We've matured so much. When I looked into their eyes I knew we were going to win.

He's tenacious. When he decides to take control of the boards, it's over.
