We're progressing. I'm pleased with our recent improvement in rebounding and defense.

Luke's execution from the point, and his defense on Fischer was big. Luke has grown a lot this season.

It was good for us to show we can beat someone without Jeremy. It gives us a little more confidence in ourselves as we get ready for the playoffs.

He got us going, and then he helped us finish.

We're pretty balanced on offense and we're at our best when we have four or five guys score 15 points. It's always nice when Jeremy (Chappell) goes for 30, but we have grown so much as a team that he doesn't have to.

What do you tell the guys? All I can say is I'm proud of them. They got it done heart to win for each other.

We're playing the toughest schedule we've ever played.

We have four guys who really are tremendous scorers. I think we showed everyone that Jeremy isn't all we have. We're a team.
