His unselfishness is not an act. It's almost like he cherishes it.
glass good liked might pound surprise
He's good. We actually recruited him. We really liked him. ... You know what he's going to do. He's just going to pound you. He's going to go to the glass every time. He's going to be very physical. He's a good player. He might surprise some people, but he doesn't surprise us because we recruited him.

He?s good, but we knew that already because we recruited him. He?s a four or five for a Connecticut team, so he?s going to be a guy who pounds you, who?s very physical. He?s not a surprise to us.

He?s going to be a factor. He sits back there and protects the basket.

He's done an incredible job. I think what he's done a great job of doing is utilizing his personnel instead of worrying about what they don't have, he's doing a great job of taking advantage of what they do have.

I actually feel a little guilty. We had home court tonight. I'd like to thank the fans coming out. They were great.

He was really getting into Kyle. I haven't seen anybody get into Kyle where he couldn't get where he wanted to go.
He was exhausted. I said, 'Do you have more?' He said, 'It's my career. I have got it.' He was the best.

He was great. There were a lot of times where we got to the rim and he made us change our shots.

He just did what was necessary to win the game. And having that weapon is valuable.
