I think he has just tons of drive, determination and instincts. He has good ability. I think it's unfair to suggest this guy doesn't have ability. He's a very good athlete. I think his tools were simply underevaluated by the scouts out here.

Metro-area water suppliers should be able to look at filling their reservoirs this year.

I'm very proud of him, ... For me, personally, he's certainly one of our very best stories and one of the best baseball stories we've had. I'm always impressed by guys who beat long odds. When you hear these stories of guys who were undrafted as juniors and have beaten the odds by long shots, I think they're great stories.

I have a lot of confidence in our seniors right now, ... The two seniors I've been around for a long time. So I know what they're capable of doing.

Joe Ballard may have been the MVP of the game. He made some big shots and guarded well.

I wasn't thrilled to drive all the way to Indiana and get beat by 37. If we didn't have to, we'd probably play more teams of equal level.

He (Tate) made plays. He got two big baskets for us when we needed it the most.

I think Morgan is on the shortest list of the best players we've ever had here, ... I would have said that without him getting to the major leagues because he had a great career for us.

Things are looking pretty optimistic right now. We've got a good early start to this winter season.
