We were fortunate to win. We prayed as hard as we possibly could for a made free throw or something.

We're starting to do some things but we can't let up. It's a do-or-die situation, so the players are playing with a sense of urgency.

We're going to play hard and we're going to defend you. We were happy to hold Nick to 14 points, which not many teams are going to be able to do because he's a big-time player.

When his jumpers aren't going in, then it really hurts our inside-outside game because teams start jamming and converging on the post players. So he's going to have to hit the open shots. He's going to have to make the big baskets. And he has to come through for us.

We've got to have (Murphy) put the ball in the hole to have some success. We went about 12 minutes without scoring in the first half. We missed a lot of shots we have to make.

They are right there with those guys, if not better. We have a lot of weapons. What I like about them is they keep their poise.

I think he's had an up and down season. Some games he's really going after people and then there are some games when he's kind of faded.

Rashid Cann is our best defender, I mean by far. There isn't anybody even close as far as an on-the-ball defender. I do know that when somebody starts cooking that I have to put Rashid in the game to hopefully turn the oven off.

They have a lot of weapons. The thing I like about this team is they are very poised.
