He does everything well. He always wants to get better. That's the sign of a good player. Coming in as a freshman, he was really talented and now he's a much better player because of all the work he's put in.
I was very comfortable taking a second role to him. There is no doubt about his ability to step up in big games.
On offense, it's important for us to have good cuts and a lot of movement off the ball. Once we catch the ball, we have to be very strong with it. Quick guys usually have quick hands and step in the passing lanes.
We kept urgency. That was a big factor. We kept playing hard on defense and stuck with the game plan.
We've had a lot of nervous energy going on. We've been itching to get our hands on a ball and finally get out on this court, the one we've seen in our locker room for four years now. It's just really amazing to get out there and see what it's like.
We had great intensity the second half. But half a game is not going to get it done against a good team. The opportunities were definitely there. We got some great defensive stops, but we couldn't convert on the other side.
It doesn't matter where we play. Our guys love a tough crowd. Hopefully, Lawrence will provide that. I'm sure they will.
It's quite an honor to win an award that gives recognition to the student-athlete. Obviously, it's what Division III is a lot about.
It's good to play another team we haven't seen yet. Lawrence has a lot of talent. To be No. 1, you have to beat the best teams.
