I think we're making strides, but we're not getting results right now. Who knows? Maybe a trip out of state will help us. Right now we seem to have one guy who's not on the same page with what we're doing, whether it's offense or defense. It's just inexperience.

I remember the day when you shot 100 free throws a day, 365 days a year. I don't think our guys are doing that and I don't think a lot of guys do that. A lot of people talk about how bad shooting has become in general. To be a good high-school basketball player, you should be able to hit a 15-foot shot.

I thought we pretty much came out and laid an egg. In the same breath, I thought (Grove City) played very well. We did not show any interest in doing what we planned to do from the get go and that showed we weren't ready to play.

I think our press got us going and got them out of their mode of trying to run some clock and got them playing quicker than they wanted to.

It's a new season for everybody. If somebody gets knocked off, it's going to get really interesting. Even that year we got beat, I think it really shows that there's not a whole lot of difference between the teams (in the tournament). It really comes down to the teams that can win the close ones.

No. 1 and foremost, he's a great example of a great student-athlete. He's a 4.0-plus student and he's a nice kid. He's the type of guy anybody would want in their program, on top of the fact he's 6-7.

I think we're heading into a phase where we could be peaking. We're certainly getting better. I don't think we've topped off playing our best basketball yet. We certainly haven't put four quarters together, but we're certainly playing well.

South is well-drilled and well coached. But we knew they weren't going to get 100 points tonight.

We had a pretty good early choice of where we wanted to go. I looked at when we wanted to play as much as anything. I felt this was a team that could use some time after the season where we could refocus.
