His anticipation, ability to avoid screens and acceleration in the passing lanes is unlike any other player that I have ever coached.

That 3-point shot at the end of the half really meant a lot to us. We came back out to start the (second) half and got another three, and the guys got more aggressive.

He gives us a lot of energy from that standpoint. His anticipation, ability to avoid screens, and accelerate in the passing lanes is unlike any other player that I have ever coached. It is a very deserving record. He has worked hard for it and hopefully he can improve on it.

Mike's a better perimeter shooter than Tim. Tim might be the best leader I've ever coached. But they both play the same position and have great knowledge of the game. Mike's kind of old-school. He's a basketball player. He has long arms, a good jump hook, good fakes inside and a knack around the basket.

We were fortunate that we did knock it loose. We scored a lot from out defense. That's kind of been our trademark up to this point.

I thought he really played well when he came in. I was very pleased with his effort.

The guys worked really hard to get out and contest shots, and we did a much better job of blocking out. We got off to a good start, which is always important. We're just happy to come away with a win.

He is a leader on this team. We need him to continue to play at a high level for us to be successful.

He has come a long way. He had a lot of skills and knowledge of the game when he got here. But as the season has gone along, he's become more comfortable. He's done a great job. And with his work ethic and attitude, the sky's the limit.
