With him being on the floor, he's a lot bigger, a guy that can get in there and rebound. B.J.'s ... going to be aggressive. That's what we need ... off the bench.

We've been working hard the whole year just to get our name out there. But we're staying focused and keeping it one game at a time.

It was a big change. It's a whole lot more open now. Brian averaged 16 points for us, and losing that, we have to make up for it. Everybody was looking to be more aggressive.

We're thinking about it too much. When it starts getting mental, that's when you miss shots. I don't think we're struggling; we shoot every day in practice, and we knock them down. It's just a mental thing.

It's a funny feeling without him being there. He sits in the same spot every day, and he's not there. It's kind of awkward for us now.

Him being here today really showed us he still cares. He's our team captain. ... He's such a big part of our team.

He's a lot bigger, so he can get in there for the rebound. B.J. is not going to back off anybody. Him coming into the game, he's gong to be aggressive. That's what we need.

We're thinking about it too much. We just have to stay with it and trust each (other), and eventually shots will start knocking down. It's not a big deal. We've got a lot of really talented players who have been shooting all their life, so they'll come back around.

We wanted to let him know we hadn't forgotten about him. We'll keep it moving for him.
