The big surprise this year has been his defense. He doesn't have the quickest feet in the world, he is not the fastest kid and he doesn't jump very well, but he is always in the right place defensively.

I've been here 16 years so I've known him most of his life. Every year I see him in the gym and the first place I ever saw him was in a gym. He is always in a gym and always has been.

I was extremely happy with the guys tonight. That is a really good basketball team to hold to just 30 points. Every goal that we had coming into tonight we were able to meet.

We'd like to go undefeated in the conference, win the tournament and win a regional. Those are wonderful goals to have.

We like for him to start around the block and work his way out. That is what he did in the first half against ROWVA. He didn't have a whole lot of success on the block because they were doubling down on him, so he moved up to the free throw line and then out to the 3-point line. That is something he can do and we feel comfortable with him out there.

Offensively we wanted to get the ball into the post more in the second half. We saw they were doubling down so we were hoping to kick it back out and get some open looks.

I know it's a cliche', but we're taking it one game at a time. We just play on one level all the time and don't get any more excited about one game than another. We just worry about the way we play and what we do.

We really didn't do anything different defensively in the second quarter. We just went out and started playing much harder man to man defense and weren't giving them the open looks that they were getting in the first quarter and I thought that was the key.

We talk about our offense might slump a bit, but defense never slumps. You have to play defense all the time and we did a good job of that.
