It will give us more time to focus. We had a lot of time off during the Christmas holidays, but we were able to stay focused and come back and win the holiday tournament at Chicago State.
I've never spoken to Coach Weber about Patrick. Big-time head coaches know they talk to the high school coach. This is why the top city kids are going outside the state. I'm not trying to belittle Illinois. My son goes there. I love Illinois.
You can win the title without winning the very first game and we got the job done.
The kids just came out of the gate like racehorses.
Sometimes these games get personal. All the credit goes to the kids.
Anybody who has a name, he wants to play them. He wants to be on the top of the list, that's all. The kid just wants to win.
He hasn't been going to all those little camps and stuff. The (Marshall) program had dwindled. When you don't stay above water, people will forget you.
He's the best freshman basketball player in the state. He's our quiet storm. He just goes out there every game and gets the job done with a lot of fanfare.
We wanted to give other teams another look. Teams also come into games focusing on Patrick. We wanted to see what they could do without him in the game.
