They're on TV a lot. We have watched them all season long. I know their starting five. I know guys off their bench. I know their team.
I was actually frustrated throughout (non-league). I was like, man, I can wait until I can start putting my print on the team.
I had a mentality to be a lot more aggressive. There were times when usually I would penetrate early and kick it out and try to find other guys. Tonight I was like, I need to be more aggressive because in bigger games, no matter what, guys are going to look to me to be more aggressive. So I have to start preparing myself now.
We just totally turned the page on that Thursday game. It was important not to come in here and worry about making shots, and we did a good job of that.
We're going to be a threat, inside and out.
I've seen where you can score 35 in two games in a row, and once you lose, you can't get it.
It was welcome back, Mike. It's fun having him out there because he stretches out the defense so much.
It would have been really special if he had come here. We would have been really good.
There's something about late in the game that's when I feel like I'm at my best.
Right now, we don't have very good chemistry offensively.
Practices are like they were in January. He's definitely stepped it up a lot more. We're not going to the tournament just happy to be there. We're past that level.
People give me a lot of credit for being a team guy, but Bobby brought us a winning attitude. I never won a state championship.
Brockman has passed our expectations. He can defend and score. He's stepped in there and done the job.
Bobby was the first guy working on his game, even before the coaches showed up. Bobby was making me look bad. He was not only pushing himself to get better, he was pushing us to get better.
