If we maintain our level of play, the sky is the limit. Now, they have a taste of winning.

When you get the first cool night of the fall, you start thinking basketball. We're not there yet, but I know it's right around the corner.

This was a very unique situation. It was the first time I've ever heard of a conference game being played this way. You hate to see anyone lose a game like this. I think if it were up to Mike and I, we'd just say 'Let's leave this thing a tie and settle it later.' It was uncharted water for us in game preparation.

We had a horrendous shooting night. We expended so much energy (Wednesday) and that really affected us.

I'm elated for these guys, the way they came out and fought. Christ the King is one heck of a basketball program. They've got some great athletes out there.
christ king guys great basketball
I'm blessed to have a team where there is little or no separation between the starters and the bench players. That makes for good competition within our team, because our starters know if they don't perform at a certain level they will lose their jobs.

People can sit back and look at Kobe and emulate him all they want. But the fact is that the teams that play together and have consistency throughout their lineup in the scoring column are going to win more than lose.

The officials allowed much more aggressive play than our conference allows. The officials let us bang, grab and push tonight. When that whistle blew, you could have flipped a coin.

We practice and drill going to the line tired. But you can't simulate going to the line at Reynolds Coliseum with a tie game and 6 seconds to go. He did something he's going to remember for the rest of his life.

We knew they were going to be an inside-out team. When you start 7-1, 6-10 and 6-9 players and have a 6-7 guy on the wing, we knew their offense would be predicated on going to the inside. We tried to push them outside and when we got them out there, we were like a bunch of little gnats on a carcass.
