Brian has improved as much as any player I've ever coached. If you'd have told me this time last year that we'd be running plays to get him the ball, I wouldn't have believed it.

I wish I knew what the answer was. But, we're going to keep working to find it and turn these hard-fought performances into victories.

We were aggressive with the ball, a little more confident with the ball and we just made some shots. It's an easy game when you make some shots.

I'm not in this thing for moral victories and I'm not in this to validate us as a team that plays hard. We've got to learn how to win ball games.

It's tough to get a better shot than we got right there.

We were dismantled by a fine basketball team tonight. I thought they were sensational.

Part of (the improvement) is understanding shot selection. We've defined shot selection as much as we can for the players and the team. They understand that and now they are playing with more freedom.

He's a starter on most teams in this league. And when he shoots it like he did tonight, obviously that's a new dimension to his game.

Probably the only three people in the building not surprised that he took that shot are on our coaching staff.
