The burden should be on them to prove that our presence has a detrimental impact upon lynx. I don't think they can prove it.

If we win the first one, we'll have a chance to make a run. The first game (at the Fairgrounds) is always the toughest.

He's done a good job. He's really stepped up. He's made as much improvement as anybody on our team in his competitiveness and in his ability to score and he's become a better defender. ... Before the end of the year, he'll be an elite player. He's just starting to play the way he is capable.

Brett's a good player. He just needs an opportunity. As we progress this season, I think he will get more opportunities. We have confidence in him.

I guess if we can't be first, we might as well be second. There's no shame in losing to (Lancaster). That's a top-notch basketball team. They're a tough, hard-nosed competitive team.

They're certainly a formidable opponent. There's no doubt in our mind that we have to play well because we know they can beat us.

He's a key player for us. He gives us that second perimeter threat. ... When he gets an open look, he's very confident. He wants to take the shot.

Mike's doing a nice job. He's asserting himself offensively, and he's learning how to respond (in a positive manner) when things don't go well. That was a big problem a year ago. When things didn't go well, he'd get down (mentally) on himself. He's learning how to handle (adversity) this year.
