He is just a great competitor. We always play better when he is on the floor.

We shot well tonight. We just had a couple of key turnovers in the last couple of minutes that really hurt us.

As a point guard, that's who you want to have the ball late in the game. He worked hard on his free throws over the summer.

It's great to win on the road, especially this time of year with the position we're in. Even though it may not have been our best effort, it was good enough tonight.

We came out real sluggish on defense. We really refocused (at halftime) and came out and played some good team defense.

We rely on him. I don't think he ever wears out. We try to keep him on the floor as much as possible just for that floor leadership.

They shot the ball well in spurts. They had us down 18-7 to start out the game, but we closed the gap and ended the half down by three.

Both teams were patient on offense, but we definitely stressed at halftime that we had to pick up our game. Our defense came through and won this one for us.

Mike held us in the game in the first. Then it was really of combination of guys that really stepped up for us.
