In the MVC, we don't have the budget or resources that Pitt or Kansas has. But we have awfully good players, and great coaches, and communities that love basketball.

He's very good at attacking penetration and making people adjust shots. He's our mistake-eraser.

Apparently, it was for a show of emotion for the second time after a call. That's the way it was explained to me.

They made the last big play.

I was proud of the way our guys fought out there and came back. They did an excellent job of putting themselves in position to win. But, they made the last big play. It was a big shot.

The perception is I want him to come back and am steering him that way. That's not the case. What's happening with Patrick is great for our program. I want to make sure that whatever his decision, that it's good for Patrick, the person.

I'm excited for Patrick. This is a great opportunity for him to explore this opportunity. It's good for him to do this. It's the smart thing to do.

We talked about how they were going to. The good thing is, it didn't change what we were trying to do. We withstood their run and made one of our own.

Just as we talk about fast-break offense, we work on fast-break defense. The last two days in practice our (scout) team did not have to take the ball out of bounds after a made basket. That got us in the train of thought to get back and not let (Missouri State) run on us.
