He didn't look too stressed about it, so we just kind of fed off him. I talked with him a little bit. I knew.

I think offensively, we're fine. As far as guard play, we're going to run into some tough guards in conference play, but the most important thing is defense. That's going to win us game, especially if our shots aren't falling.

We know what this team is capable of. We're not satisfied with just winning one. We want to go as far as we can go with it.
