He's such a competitive kid. He just doesn't want to come out.
body force goes great handling job limit shot somebody touches tough
He's just a force inside. I don't think anybody's really done a great, great job of handling him. We've just got to make it tough for him to get the ball, try to limit his touches with the basketball. And then when the shot goes up, somebody better get a body on him.
athletic guys notice until watch
He's one of those guys that you don't really notice until you watch them. He's 6-foot-5 and as athletic as they come.

I didn't know if it was good or not. I figured I'd find out shortly.

basketball given plays
Geary just plays hard. That's something that you'd think is a given, but it's not a given all the time. He just makes the basketball plays that sometimes aren't on the stat sheet, but are still really important.

I'm not done playing. I know our kids aren't. I just hope we get an opportunity to continue to play.

I really wanted our players to have an opportunity to play again. I'm happy for our kids, happy for our coaches, who worked really hard, and hopefully we'll see the fruits of our labor.

It's crunch time, you've gotta find a way to make that play. We have not been the kind of team so far -- so far -- that can find a way to make that play.
